Our stay at the Mt. Shasta mountain chalet was excellent. The property was clean and comfortable, with stunning views of the surrounding forest. The location was peaceful and convenient for outdoor activities. Highly recommended for a relaxing getaway
Solid option for large groups close to the ski park. Needs some new mattresses in a few rooms and would have been nice to have it warm on arrival. Otherwise, no complaints!
This was perfect for our family of 3 adult siblings grandkids and grandma. It was clean and comfortable and the host was very kind. Also lots of extra blankets and pillows and lovely chairs on the porch. We will be back for sure :)
Our stay at this property near Mount Shasta was absolutely perfect! The home was beautifully maintained, and all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and provided great local tips, making our trip both relaxing and memorable.
We had a great stay. Lots of room and different places to hang out and interact. Kitchen is well supplied, and there's a large dining table that easily seats 10.
Great location and excellent for large groups. Could use some upgrades. Hard to close a couple windows for example. Basement bathroom needs a fan. Upper floor needs AC. Nice size kitchen and dining room to accommodate big groups. Overall, it’s a great cozy place for large groups.
This property is just minutes to the ski resort and about 10 mins to town for any shopping you may need. Wide open space with beautiful views out every window
It's a beautiful and cozy cabin. It has everything you need for your vacation with family or friends. Our stay was truly comfortable and relaxing. I totally recommend it. The hostess is very friendly.

About the host
Hosted by Ruth Altes
We moved to the beautiful and special area here in Mt. Shasta full time about 2 years ago from Sonoma County. We have been travelling to this area for the past 7 years when we purchased the chalet for our use as a vacation home. We knew the area was special and was the place we wanted to raise our two young boys so we built a new house and opened up our wonderful chalet for others to enjoy.
Why they chose this property
This house is situated on the side of the mountain that we love. We love the landscape and the weather on this side of the mountain, it is typically cooler in the summer and we are fortunate to get our fair share of snow. We don't get the wind that the more western side of Mt. Shasta area gets and we typically get the same snow fall that the ski park enjoys at their base. We are not in the city, have few neighbors and have the mountain as our back yard. We ride our quads, snowmobiles, bikes, horses, and even hike right from the property. We are close enough to town and all of the lakes, streams and rivers that we also enjoy all of the water sports and fishing. We remodeled the house when we bought it in 2006, so it has unique features and has a great layout to accommodate many people.
What makes this property unique
Nearby enjoy a beautiful outdoor venue for your wedding or other special event: (weddings, corporate retreats, family reunion, BBQ, Birthday Parties, Spiritual Retreat, Yoga Retreat, Company parties, etc.) Located only 3 miles from the Chalet with plenty of parking and lots of great amenities to come. A spectacular view of Mt. Shasta along with surrounding mountains. Also available: overnight horse accommodations, access to Public USFS lands directly from the property.
