The loft is beautifully laid out, uses space so well it feels much larger than the numbers. Very comfortable, very nicely appointed, new throughout. Lovely wood furniture. View of the mountain! The garden is glorious, flowers and veg. But the key EXTRA here is the hosts: Starting with big binders of local food and attractions, how-tos, important info and good Wifi, all the way to personal gardening advice, genuinely warm people when needed, no botheration when not. QUIET. Away from town, so you have that 'in the forest' feel, but just a half-mile away when you need something. Mt. Shasta City isn't a city; it's a small town (my hometown is miniscule and calls itself a city, too!) but it has all the amenities you need and none that you don't, to make a restful or exciting getaway, and with the Hansons as your host, you enter your adventure completely ready with insider info. Hubby and I really can't praise this place and these hosts enough. One advantage of the next-door-carriage-house location: Hubby could observe a midnight lunar eclipse and do other potentially-bothersome nocturnal activities of the amateur astronomer and neither hosts not neighbors (a dim distance away) were bothered.
We are definitely recommending that you stay here!
