We had a wonderful 3 nights at this cozy cabin in the trees. The kitchen has everything you need. The creek on the property is beautiful. We will definitely be booking this cabin again next year!
This property was beautiful, stocked with essential items, comfortable, quiet, close to groceries and daily water fun! Owner was super easy to contact and was quick to respond. Can't wait to return!
The property was as described. Beautiful views and peaceful. Well stocked. Nice patio to relax in chairs and listen to the creek and watch the trees sway. Wondreful.
Walter was an exceptional host! friendly, responsive, and incredibly helpful. Our family had a comfortable stay, and he went above and beyond to assist us during an unexpected power outage. His prompt communication and thoughtful support made all the difference. We truly appreciated his hospitality and would absolutely recommend staying with him!
All of us Loved the house and the dogs loved a weekend getaway in the snow! Communication with the host was great! Will stay here again if we are ever back up in the area!
The cabin was very well kept, and there were lots of fun things to do nearby in the town or on the trail. We had a great time relaxing at the cabin with our family and had really positive interactions with our host. Would stay again!
This was our second year there and it just leaves us in awe every time, so beautiful and peaceful. The house is huge and comfortable with everything you could possibly need. Living room floor to ceiling windows make waking up to the sunrise amazing! Creek in the back is a great place to just sit with a cup of coffee and relax. The area has a great organic grocery market and a great restaurant called Baldovinos! Hiking and lake swimming are all just few miles away and a great drive. See you next year!!
Everything was amazing. The house and entire property blew the photos away! The host was the best I've ever dealt with: Warm, inviting, and super helpful! I have literally nothing negative to say about anything. THANK YOU!! We will be back!
Great cabin for group of 9 guys on a golf vacation. Located in quiet meadow surrounded by trees. We all enjoyed staying here and owner was fabulous. Will look to come back next year.
Another great stay; everything was perfect.
Mt. Shasta right up the road, and a cozy cabin to come home to after a day on the slopes. I highly recommend this cabin for a ski trip getaway!

Ruth and her family were the perfect guests! Even though a tree fell on our well and broke our water system, they were patient and understanding as we tried our best to fix the problem. Unfortunately, our well company couldn't get it done quickly so we happily reimbursed all their money so they could find other accommodations ... with water. We'd love to have them back again to make things right!
Our group has been blessed to stay here multiple times! This year was another great visit. The place is always well maintained and cared for. Well stocked kitchen and awesome views. Walter is GREAT to work with and very quick to respond. We had to modify our visit this year and Walter went above and beyond to help us make our visit work with our changing schedule! Lord willing, we will be coming back again next year,!
Terrific property! Beautiful area and views. Kitchen is superbly stocked and the whole place is very comfortable and inviting. Walter Mathews is very responsive and helpful in making our stay as good as it could be. We'll be back next year!

Thanks so much for the great review! We love that you and your crew of intrepid fishermen truly enjoy our little abode. You're welcome back any time!
This was an excellent place for our family gathering. It is so pretty in the woods and just a short walking path away is squaw valley creek. So beautiful! The house was really spacious and decorated so cute and the kitchen was well equipped for cooking and enjoying dinner together. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you for sharing your family cabin with us!
We were lucky to enjoy this amazing property with snow on the ground! The creek was peaceful, with a short trail leading from the meadow. We've stayed at a handful of places around the Mt. Shasta area, and this is right at the top of our list for next time!

About the host
Hosted by Walter Mathews
We purchased this 2.5 acre lot back in 1973 and spent years camping in the meadow. After the kids got old enough to complain about camping AND could afford to help pay for a mortgage ... we built this wonderful vacation home. Now, we spend winters skiing at Mt. Shasta and summers fishing the McCloud and other area rivers. The town is absolutely wonderful. Don't miss this!
Why they chose this property
Peace and quiet prevail. Just minutes from quaint McCloud, there is plenty to do in this forested wonderland.
What makes this property unique
Squaw Valley creek runs through the property on the other side of the meadow with its own huge fire pit. Big windows and so close to town, golf, biking, fishing, skiing/boarding, swimming, rock climbing, shopping, day tripping, and so much more. The house boasts red pine floors, granite counters, plenty of parking for you and your boat, a spacious deck for entertaining and BBQs, room for horseshoes or Wiffle ball, quiet neighbors, big meadow-view windows, 2 couches for relaxing, Bluetooth stereo, WiFi, satellite TV, extra sleds and saucers … and serenity galore!
