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.

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!!

Stunning Views From Picture Windows!

We were extremely happy with our stay in Walter's home.It truly felt like our home away from home. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen was great and the location superb!!! We spent 9 nights and could easily have stayed longer. Each day we hiked in amazing locations and werehappy to return "home" to a cup of tea, sitting in the rocking chairs looking at the beautiful surroundings. It was easily one of the most relaxing and peaceful holidays we've had. Walter was a wonderful host, he provided information prior to our visit and was available during the stay if we needed him. Thank you Walter, for sharing your beautiful home!

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.

Wonderful McCloud Experience

We really loved the McCloud cabin! It’s very pretty, homey, well-appointed and in a great, woodsy, location. I think it’s a perfect spot for friends and family to enjoy an extended stay to fish, hike or just explore the area. Communication with our host was prompt and welcoming. Looking forward to coming back, hopefully this fall.

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

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!
