Perfect River Home

The owner is kind, thorough, and very responsive. The home is very clean and very well maintained. The location is ideal for hanging out swimming (chilly but refreshing!) and fishing in the river which is extremely close. A perfect stay!

Lovely Dunsmuir cabin

This cabin provided everything we needed for a great stay close to national parks we wanted to visit. Mt.Shasta, McCloud Falls, and Lassen Volcanic Park were easy drives for our family of 6: 2 parents, 2 grandparents, 2 children. The cabin met all of our needs, and we loved the proximity to the river. Evenings on the porch were a delight (with bug spray, of course!), and meals were easy in a well-equipped kitchen that even had a dishwasher! Mike was clear with his instructions, answered all my questions, and helped our vacation be everything we wanted. Thank you!

Spacious cabin in the woods

The cabin was more spacious than I thought it would be. It is located right on the river and the fishing hole is no joke. My husband caught 2 fish within 15 minutes of our arrival. The kitchen is spacious and the appliances are new. It is the perfect area to keep 3 teenagers busy being near 2 lakes and the waterfalls near Dunsmuir. We had a great time and would return again.

A little piece of Paradise!

Perfect for our mini family reunion, Bedrooms were comfy and the loft provided a nice quiet place for reading or relaxing. The kitchen was perfect for us to gather cook and eat, inside or out on the deck. We really enjoyed sitting by the river and watching people fish. Easy walk to town too.

Fantastic Place to Stay

Our stay was nothing short of delightful. Tucked away in a serene location with the back porch overlooking the river, this log home offered the perfect retreat. The cleanliness of the property was impeccable. The fully stocked kitchen was a definite highlight. Everything you need is right at your fingertips. The home is cozy and inviting. From the decor to the amenities, every detail was thoughtfully curated to create a warm and welcoming environment. The only downside for us was the firmness of the beds. While some may prefer a firmer mattress, I found it to be a bit too firm for my liking. Nonetheless, this was a minor inconvenience in an otherwise wonderful stay. Situated just a stone's throw away from downtown Dunsmuir, we appreciated the ease of access to local attractions and amenities. Overall, our stay at this vacation rental home was nothing short of wonderful. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient getaway in Dunsmuir, CA.

Log Cabin

The house was wonderful. It was great to have the river out the back door. The trains running by weren’t too loud. The host was very helpful and great communication when we contacted him. Dunsmuir is a cute little town.

Fly fishing trip - perfect location

The cabin was perfect for our annual flyfishing trip. Not only could we fish out the back door, but it’s very close to many wonderful rivers. Cabin was clean and comfortable, and just as described. Property manager was terrific. I would happily stay again.

You don't want to miss this one!

Mike is a great host! He responds very quickly and is accommodating to anything you need. The Log Home looks and feels like brand new! We loved the interior design and the floor planning! The place is super clean and well kept. It has everything you need to enjoy a relaxing getaway. The Log Home looks exactly the same as the images online. Very spacious and has a lot of extras. You can dip into the Sacramento River anytime and enjoy it's melody by relaxing on the big porch. The train was passing by just couple of times a day and didn't bother us at all. This place is very close to Mt. Shasta. Highly recommend this property to anyone!

Thanksgiving Getaway

the property is well maintained and tastefully decorated. The kitchen was very well equipped for a thanksgiving dinner. The only shortcomings were the low-intensity lighting in the bedrooms and the limited hot water in the second floor bathroom. I would recommend it to others.

Log cabin by the river

The location is between the RR tracks and the river. The trains do not use the horn at night. I love hearing the trains so the frequency did not bother me. You can walk into town from the house. We rented during the heat wave (>104+ degrees) , no central AC, but LP portables in the two living spaces, wall units in each bedroom , portable fans, and a ceiling fan. The units did a decent job trying to keep up with the heat wave. There are 2 bedrooms downstairs so if anyone has mobility issues, it is easier to stay downstairs as the spiral staircase may be a challenge. The upstairs bathroom is small and it does get hot even with the exhaust fan running. The kitchen is well equipped and easy to cook in. Plenty of spices and herbs to cook with. If you want to eat out there are a few restaurants in Dunsmuir, but check their schedule as some are not open every day and most close by 8pm. We left on a Saturday and some of the shops in town were not open by 11am/12pm. Many shops have closed their business since we have been coming up the last 8 years, but there are plenty of outdoor activities to do in the area. My BF is a Fly Fisherman and he spends a lot of time on the river. The upper Sac river and Castle Craggs are beautiful places to explore.

House on beautiful upper Sacramento River

We just loved the log cabin in Dunsmuir. The booking and check-in were very easy. The swimming/fishing hole (Sac River) is just across the backyard and down a little rocky path and has a nice small gravel beach. Great hole for fishing - I observed a fly fisher catch &release a beautiful rainbow trout. The house is spacious and comfy, has a spiral staircase to the second floor. It was extremely hot weather when I was there the last weekend in August, but the house is well equipped with AC units that can keep up. The kitchen is well stocked with cookware, utensils, and many kitchen goodies like herbs and spices. We liked it even more because it’s an easy walk into Dunsmuir. The train goes thru the middle of town, honking and squeaking loudly, kind of interesting and historic I thought, however one of us required earplugs to sleep thru the night. We would rent this property again.

Loved the cabin, super clean, organized, had everything we needed and more. Wonderful kitchen with all dishes you need to basic needs. Very nice quality furnishings. Loved the access to the river. Checking in and out was super simple, all instructions clearly spelled out. We were there on a very hot weekend and the portable AC units kept the cabin very nice and cool. We will definitely go again.

Fishing trip stay in a wonderful log cabin!

From the time we entered the front door we realized that excellent care has been given to this beautiful well built log cabin in Dunsmuir, CA. All details were thought of to make our stay complete...spotless interior, well chosen furnishings, and completely stocked kitchen. The baths on each floor make it ideal for two couples to have privacy when needed. Deck faces the Upper Sacramento River and at rear of property there is easy access to a wonderful section of the river. Yes, the trains do go right by the front of the property at all hours of the day& night, so sleep can be challenging at times. That's was to be expected as the owner did highlight the cabin's location. Even with that, the railroad town experience was all part of what was a wonderful stay in Dunsmuir in beautiful log cabin on the river.
