Historic cottage in downtown Mt. Shasta, just steps away from all the action.

Welcome to Our Charming Craftsman-Style Cottage in Downtown Mt. Shasta

This fully renovated and beautifully decorated Craftsman-style cottage offers a cozy mountain retreat, perfectly located on historic Main Street in downtown Mt. Shasta. Whether you're here for a weekend getaway or an extended stay, our cottage provides comfort, charm, and convenience.

Key Features & Amenities:

Licensing & Inspections: This property is fully licensed by the City of Mt. Shasta (Permit Number: STR-004220), regularly inspected to ensure it meets city codes, and is fully insured as a vacation rental. It has never been owner-occupied, ensuring you a clean and welcoming environment.

Top-Notch Cleanliness: We take great pride in maintaining a spotless property, offering professional cleaning services. The cottage is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected for your safety.

Comfort Year-Round: The cottage features central heating and air conditioning to keep you comfortable throughout the seasons. During winter months, you can also enjoy the cozy ambiance of the wood-burning stove, with firewood and kindling provided.

Entertainment: Stay connected with super-fast, reliable fiber optic internet, and enjoy streaming on the 72-inch Sony SMART TV.

Private Parking & Snow Removal: Off-street parking is available for multiple vehicles, including space for a boat or trailer.
When snowing , the city does not allow street parking due to snow removal trucks - CARS WILL BE TOWED BY THE CITY IF PARKED ON MAIN ST....PLEASE PARK IN THE DRIVEWAY.
Tip: If it snows, its best to park at the beginning of the driveway, so it’s easier to reverse onto the street that is always snow plowed by the city. If needed, snow shovels are provided on the porch.

Pet-Friendly: We welcome pets with a small pet fee $75.00. Pet approval is at our discretion. Never leave pet unattended in cottage unless crated. Please keep pets off furniture and bedding, and remove pet waste from the yard before check-out.

The Cottage:
This cozy home features a charming blend of mountain décor and modern amenities. Enjoy hardwood floors, a fully equipped kitchen, and spacious living areas. The two bedrooms sleep up to 5 guests, with 2 high-quality queen beds (one with a 12-inch memory foam mattress) and 1 twin bed. The living room offers comfortable seating, including a Lazyboy recliner and leather couches, with a Sony 72-inch SMART TV for your enjoyment.

Outdoor Spaces:
Relax in the private, fenced-in front and backyards, ideal for pets and children. The picnic area, BBQ, and table offer the perfect setting for outdoor meals or simply unwinding in the fresh mountain air. The front porch provides a serene spot to watch the world go by.

Location:
Our cottage is just a short walk from downtown, where you’ll find excellent restaurants, coffee shops, boutique stores, organic markets, and spas. If you prefer outdoor adventure, Lake Siskiyou is a 5-minute drive, Ski Park is 20 minutes away, and Ashland, Oregon, is just 50 minutes. Endless bike routes and fishing opportunities are nearby, making it the ideal base for mountain lovers.

Additional Details:

Sleeping Arrangements: 2 Bedrooms with 2 queen beds (one memory foam, one pillow-top) and 1 twin bed, all with high-quality mattresses.

Living Room: Comfortable Lazyboy recliners and leather couches, 72-inch SMART TV, and DVD player for indoor entertainment.

Parking: Off-street parking for multiple vehicles, including room for a trailer or boat.

Security: Security camera located on the driveway for your peace of mind.

Snow Removal Notice:
During snowy conditions, please be aware that street parking is prohibited due to snow removal regulations. Vehicles parked on Main Street will be towed by the city. To ensure easy access, we recommend parking at the beginning of the driveway, which leads to a snow-plowed street.

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!

Cute and Cozy

This house was a fantastic, charming home. It was super clean and comfy and perfect for our small group and 2 little dogs. I loved the private fenced-in backyard area. Plenty of shade to sit out there with our dogs when it got really warm. It was a great location to explore Mount Shasta since it was within walking distance of the main downtown area as well as their local food coop. I would definitely book this place again in the future.

Great Getaway to Shasta!

My girlfriends and I had a wonderful stay at the house. It was conveniently located to restaurants and activities. The kitchen was well equipped for our stay too. We ended up ordering food in both nights because it was more fun to hangout at the house than go out. Beds were super comfortable and the fireplace was great. I highly recommend this house.

The cottage was perfect for a quick get away. The fire stove kept the cottage cozy and warm. It was close to down town for walking and only a short drive Heart Lake for a hike. Everything was so comfortable and inviting - the bed was the best!

We stayed here with another couple for 4 nights over Labor Day Weekend. The house was well equipped and very comfortable. Beds were nice, kitchen was well stocked, and the outdoor space was lovely.
