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!

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!!

About the host

Hosted by Walter Mathews

Host profile image
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!
