Very convenient location to downtown so you can walk to shops and restaurants, but I did not realize it was located right on the main street through town when I booked it. Overall a comfortable little cottage with all the necessities However, the bed we slept in the first night was way too soft and a bit lumpy, so we switched to the other bedroom in the front of the house for the remaining nights. That bed was comfortable, but the noise from the highway was louder.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you found the cottage comfortable and appreciated the convenient walkable location to downtown shops and restaurants.
We do note in our listing that the home is located in the downtown area, which offers great accessibility but can also come with some street noise at times. We understand that this can be a different experience depending on individual expectations, and we appreciate you sharing your perspective.
Regarding the beds, comfort can vary from guest to guest, but your comments are very helpful. We’ll take a closer look at the mattress you mentioned to ensure it meets our standards.
Thank you again for staying with us and for your valuable feedback—we hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future
We enjoyed the Whitney Cottage because it is a clean and comfortable house within easy reach of so many things to do in the Mt. Shasta area. The kitchen had every pan and utensil needed. Especially nice is the heated tile floor in the bathroom. Our kitty liked roaming in the backyard when weather permitted.
Great location. Super cozy house. Kitchen was well stocked. Fireplace with Firewood was awesome in the winter. Heated bathroom floor was great with plenty of towels. Thanks so much!!
We had a great stay at the Whitney Cottage and loved the town of Mt. Shasta. The cottage was walking distance to downtown and a few blocks from a sweet little grocery store. We especially enjoyed the restaurants Pipeline and Drizzle, and cooked breakfast at the house. The enclosed yard in the back was perfect to let the dogs romp around. The front yard is enclosed too, but there is a shorter fence so better for small dogs. We would certainly stay here again!
We inadvertently arrived early - I thought check-in was 3pm but it was 4pm. The turnover staff was still there cleaning when we arrived. Did they get upset? No they did not. They were apologizing for still being at it even as we were apologizing for arriving early. We all agreed we'd just use the facilities quickly and leave until after the official check-in time. We are repeat customers to this rental and have always been happy with its condition; it's just the right size for our family of four. And the convenient walk to town center can's be beat!
Everything was perfect with the property. Better than expected property owner was available and responsive! Small cosy home with everything you should need. Close walk to main shopping area and very safe area. Small front and rear yards perfect for a small pet.
This cottage is absolutely perfect! Very pet friendly, fully-fenced yards in front and back. Lawn and landscaping was well maintained. We loved sitting on the front porch and people watching. The location is great, 5 min walk to shopping and wonderful restaurants. We could not have asked for anything more in this house, it had everything we needed and more. Cozy feel with all the modern amenities. Will definitely stay here again in the future!
Staying in this well-equipped, thoughtfully decorated and cozy cottage feels like coming home. The owner has thought of everything to make her guests feel welcome. We absolutely love the Whitney Cottage and look forward to our next visit.
This home is very clean, comfortable and clearly well cared for. Great location to walk to restaurants and shops. Loved the nature decor! Would definitely stay again! Host very helpful with our reservation and we would definitely stay again when in the area!
