About this property

The Dragon's Lair/ Garden Loft is one of the most popular vacation rentals for 1-4 persons In the Mt. Shasta area. Privacy and solitude are the best descriptors for this space. All windows on the north side overlook the manicured garden.

What we can offer our guests in close proximity to the town of Mt. Shasta and a very private, quiet setting. We are about .9 miles to town but live in the forest. Guests have killer views out of each window and a private deck for relaxation.

The loft has about 800 sq. ft. and the living room, dining room, bedroom, and kitchen are all open with no walls between them. Guests have their own private carport to keep from the snow and sun.

There is a full kitchen with all conveniences except a dishwasher.

There is a queen-size bed and a high-quality pull-out sofa bed. Our space can accommodate 4 people.

We are pet-dander free and this is the reason we do not allow pets. Read our reviews and you will be convinced that the Garden Loft is the place for you.

Fabulous hosts & Wonderful place

This is a beautiful place tucked into a quiet pocket and low key neighborhood. The place has a great view of the mountain and the setting has a beautiful sanctuary feel to it. You are close enough to town that travel is very easy, yet you feel very close to nature and the wilderness. The loft is very spacious and comfy, I did not want to leave. You will love this place, especially with the extra touches that John and Sandy have added to their gardens and property. They are so welcoming and sweet you will feel that you have known them for years. One of the best places I have stayed, I will be coming back as often as possible in the future!

Nice!

Property was quiet. The Dragon’s Lair was comfortable and clean. The kitchen actually was stocked with plenty of pans in silverware plus spices and some condiments in the fridge… I definitely will stay again. I really enjoyed our trip. The owners were very helpful and friendly.

Simply Amazing!

This was our first visit to Mount Shasta and we couldn’t have chosen a better location and hosts. John and Sandy were simply amazing and were only outdone by the beauty of their property and gardens! Our kids loved staying in the apartment and were thrilled when John told them about the ‘hobbit hut’. We plan to stay here each time we visit Mt Shasta and recommend that you not miss this gem by the mountain! Thanks again to our amazing hosts :) The Carriere Family
