Original refinished fir floors complement the living and dinning room. The interior is tastefully decorated, and is very inviting.

Washer and dryer is on site. One of the baths offers a claw foot tub, while the other has a marble shower, and a stained glass window that illuminates the room with dancing colored light.
This is centrally located in the heart of McCloud, close to all of the galleries and shops. It is also only a short stroll away from Hoo Hoo park where you can enjoy the day playing Bocci Ball on the brand new Bocci Ball Courts.

We had a great stay, but the house had no hot water. We all took cold showers and a couple of did not shower as it was just too cold. We didn’t even have warm water to wash the dishes we used.

Cute older home
Overall we had a nice stay at the house. Do be prepared that it is an older home so there are some things that are a little quirky about it. The beds were comfortable and it was clean.

Charming and comfortable
My husband and I enjoyed our annual trip to McCloud and this sweet home. A view of Mt Shasta out back was a nice bonus. The home was stocked with kitchen tools needed to make cooking simple. Close walk to downtown, very peaceful, and the owner was quick to reply to questions and even allowed us to arrive early. Very reasonably priced for offering so many beds and large, homey space. Loved it!

Beautiful Home with Great Amenities
We stayed for a couple nights, and the host was very easy to communicate with. It was a great spot to meet friends with a nice backyard area and it is a short walk to town. Parking is convenient and views of Mt. Shasta are stunning. I would definitely stay here again next time we make the trip to McCloud!

This little house is conveniently located about a 4 minute walk from the McCloud Hotel where our meeting was held. We enjoyed the peaceful neighborhood and the quaint decor. The owner was very responsive to all our requests and very easy to work with.

mini vacation in McCloud
This home was very clean and neat. We found it equipped with every thing we could possibly need for our stay. It was just a step out the back door and across the street to our event at the Mercantile. We will be back!

A nice little visit home
Very nice and cozy place to call home for a few days. Well stocked kitchen (in terms of pots and pans, plates, flatware, etc.) Beautiful, large backyard that we did get any use of because it was winter, but would be lovely in the summer. Thanks!

family wedding
the house served our purpose of being close to the McCloud Hotel for a family wedding well. It would have been nice if the rear yard had been cleaned up of the rotting apples, and there needs to be a way to turn off the light string, as it disrupted the views of the stars, and glared into the house all night.

Charming House
We enjoyed our stay at this property. Check-in was clearly communicated and smooth. The water was initially not on due to some city work, but this was clearly communicated to us by the property owner. The property is close to some amazing natural sights. We spent a little time kayaking on Siskiyou Lake in the shadow of Mt. Shasta and visited the headwaters of the Sacramento River. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to spend some time in the Mt. Shasta area. Thank you.

McCloud memories
Our stay was very nice. The location was perfect. The house was comfortable except at night the bedrooms were warm would have been nice to have fans in the rooms. Also the shower nozzle it would be nice to have had a removable handle. Overall it was a wonderful stay. We enjoyed our time in McCloud.

Fiddlers Rest
This home was exactly what we were looking for when we booked. The home was very spacious and had plenty of room for our group of 5. The backyard was great with the table, chairs, and fire pit. The location was perfect. Only a few minutes walk from the Mercantile, museum, coffee and outdoor shop, and Frosty. I can not stay enough how peaceful this location was. No noise whatsoever. I highly recommend the Simpsons home for your next stay. I will try and book here again for our next trip.

Bergen short stay
We were disappointed in the state of the front yard..just dry weeds..not good curb appeal. Strange that the only refrigerator is through a closed door in the laundry room. Experienced some big black spiders in the house. But..... we enjoyed ourselves very much. The ambiance in the house is peaceful, quiet and we had everything we needed. It is decorated "eclectic" style and fun. We enjoyed all the antique touches from the furniture to the doorknobs! But, fix the yard......had we seen an upclose picture online of the front yard, we would not have reserved this house. Thanks............Pat Bergen

House is well decorated and cozy. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. Surrounding scenery is very beautiful and offers some nice hiking to the falls. We really enjoyed our evenings visiting around the fire in the backyard. A very nice trip.

Comfortable and homey
We spent 3 nights in this beautiful home during a major atmospheric storm. Unfortunately we were not able to do all the outdoor stuff we had planned but luckily we were able to comfortably relax, cook, sleep, play games, watch TV in this very cute house. We loved the decorations and antique furniture. We had a very nice stay.

Nice and quiet!
Very nice antique home that is well taken care of. Location was nice and quiet and close to local restaurants. If I had any complaint, would be the bedrooms need ceiling fans because they get a little warm at night. The portable A/C unit keeps the living room nice and cool, but just not big enough to cool the bedrooms. But overall had a great weekend.

Wonderful Family Vacation Home!!
This house was exactly what we were hoping for when booking our stay in McCloud. The house was clean and spacious. We especially enjoyed the back patio and short walks into town. The house is just a short drive from so many different lakes and was a great place to return to relax and make dinner. A must stay!!!
