The spaceThere are plenty of places to sleep in this two bedroom and Loft: one upstairs loft (queen), one bedroom on the main level (two twin beds), one bedroom downstairs (queen bed), a daybed with trundle in the downstairs living room (two twin beds), and extra bedding for someone to sleep downstairs on the couch (not a pull-out couch). The loft/office has a beautiful view of the floor-to-ceiling windows looking out at the tall pine trees. You will love the sight of the beautiful light streaming through the trees in the morning. Both bathrooms have a tub/shower combo, blow dryer, plenty of towels, a pedestal sink or vanity, and storage. There are two large living areas and one dining table for you to enjoy during your stay. The fully stocked kitchen makes it easy to cook meals and the local coffee will help you feel right at home. The space has been designed to make you feel like you are in a mountain lodge while also highlighting the stunning architectural features of the home.
LASSEN LOCATION
The home is only twenty minutes from Mount Lassen National Park and forty minutes from Burney Falls. There is plenty of hiking, camping, fishing, hunting, and lakes to explore nearby. Shingletown is a quiet town with a small food market, pizza store, and thrift/antique stores. You are also close to Redding (a 30-minute drive) where you have access to a larger city with more options for food, shopping, Sacramento river, and Turtle Bay.
LIVING & DINING AREA
Our living room is just the place to relax after days of exploring the wild beauty of the region. You’ll find lots of natural light in here – and woodsy decor rooted in a rich mountain lodge feel. Curl up on the sofa for a movie, share stories, or play games and laugh. Other touches include the art of the Smokey the Bear and mother nature.
The dining area is open to the kitchen, making it effortless to interact between the two. Rustic mixed with chic sets a playful adventurous mood. Enjoy home-cooked meals at our wood table, which seats 7-8 guests. After dinner, settle in for a family game night with cards and board games, or have a soak in the hot tub before bed.
KITCHEN
Our kitchen invites you to hang out and cook together, just like at home. It is convenient and bright, with sunlight streaming into the windows during the day. You’ll have all the appliances, cookware, and dishware you will need.
We also provide cooking spices and a coffee & tea station which includes a coffee pot, french press, coffee grinder, electric kettle, creamer, sugar, tea bags, and coffee beans from the local Northbound Coffee Roasters.

Guest accessWELCOME GUIDEBOOK

CHECK-IN & CHECK-OUT

The house is located easily off Highway 44 in the community of Shasta Forest Village. You will have private access to the Thumper A-Frame at Mount Lassen and all amenities during your stay. You can access our home at any time with our secure, keyless entry.
PARKING & SNOW REMOVAL
There is a large parking area for four vehicles off the street, in front of the house. It is easy to get into the house where you can park really close to the entrance. During a heavy snow season, it’s possible the driveway will not be plowed all the way to the house, but a shoveled walkway will be made to access the front door. Guests are asked to park in the driveway and to stay off the street to ensure our streets can be plowed, especially when snow is expected to fall. Residents/Guests are asked to stay informed about forecasts of snow accumulations and to plan accordingly.
Additional notesWi-Fi & CELL SERVICE
This house is located in an area with limited cell and WiFi service. We do offer WiFi, but it is recommended that guests use the WiFi for browsing activities only during their stay. With limited cell service, it is recommended that you drive 5 minutes into Shingletown near Reeds for important calls.
PETS
We’re happy to host your furry friends. We can accept up to two dogs or cats for a nominal fee. All pets must be house-trained. We ask that they not lounge on furniture without the protection of a towel or blanket. With regular sightings of bears on our property, it is recommended to keep animals on a leash, especially at night, to ensure you can move away from a bear and back into the house safely.
FIREPLACES & FIRES
Outdoor: We have an outdoor fire pit. We allow open fires but ask that you use the hose to put the fire all the way out. Thoroughly douse the fire with large amounts of water and ensure it is no longer smoldering. In the summer months, fires may not be allowed due to the high wildfire risk. We will let you know if it is not allowed.
Indoor: The indoor gas fireplace is nice to use in the winter. Remember, heat rises so the upstairs gets really hot really fast. We do provide heaters upstairs when needed, but with the design of the house and the fact that heat rises, you rarely need them. There are windows to release hot air if necessary.
BBQ: We have a large BBQ for your use and we hope you can make some delicious meals during your stay. We ask that you turn off the grill and then turn the propane gas tank all the way off. Once the grill is cooled, then cover it back up with the outdoor cover.
QUIET HOURS
Thank you for observing our quiet hours between 10:00 pm and 7:00 am. This ensures the peace of the neighborhood and our standing as courteous neighbors.
TRASH DAY

GUEST LIMIT

SMOKING
To keep our home fresh and clean for everyone, smoking is not permitted inside. If smoke is detected, a $300 fee will be applied to your reservation. You can, however, smoke outside (please close all doors and windows).
