We stayed 3 nights in the wonderful farmhouse. We brought our 2 dogs and they had the best time of their lives exploring the 22 acres--I have never seen them happier. The home was well-stocked and there was great thought and care to provide amenities to make our stay comfortable. We will be back next year because we all had such a great time.
This our second time staying here- once for a wedding and once for a birthday/family weekend. The property is beautiful, lots of space for kids to run around, and a lot of different ways to set things up if you’re having an event. The house is great, it’s clean with a lot of amenities, and the owners are friendly and easy to work with. I highly recommend!
My stay was wonderful. The house is great, the property was fantastic. It’s so peaceful. I had a user error with the WiFi and the owners were super helpful and full of cool history about the property. This is a perfect getaway house if you’re passing through or staying in the area.

Thanks a bunch for the review and for caring for the property. Scott
Stayed at the River house for 4 nights.The house worked great for our family and those who attended my dad’s reception. All ages enjoyed the grassy yard for running and playing soccer. Family loved hitting golf balls too.Very enjoyable and comfortable VRBO
Such an awesome space! Property is beautiful and well kept! Tons to do and ample parking for me and my friends trailers! Will be booking again for any stay I have in the area!
This home was so nice to stay in. Having all the outside space was lovely and the activities in the barn were so great to have to keep the family busy after going to the lake.
We all enjoyed our 3rd stay here. With sprawling space on the front and backyards, kids and our furry friends had a blast. We discovered the cherry plum tree and those were amazingly sweet in September.
This is my second stay at this property, and its just as wonderful as the first time! Off the main road, idyllic, golf driving range off the back deck. Stay here if you want to feel like your at home without being at home!
This was such a wonderful home to stay at! First off the location on the river is amazing. The property owner has lots of things to keep the teens busy and there is plenty of space. The home had plenty of amenities already there and it made for a very “at home” feel. We would definitely stay here again.
We can't wait to visit again. The property was great and house is charming. The patio and the fire pit were a big hit with our family. We enjoyed walks and adventuring down to the river as the house is right on the water. This was all as pictured and we fully enjoyed every corner and activity.
We had a great time staying at the property. We made this our hub to travel to all places around like Shasta caves, sundial bridge, Lassen national park, mccloud falls etc. It is 10 mints to Redding downtown. The barn was amazing for kids and adults to wind down and play. Overall a great stay. Highly recommended
The property is amazing. Did a little fishing, hitting balls and used the barn and all amenities offered. Easy check-in/out process. Very clean.
