Great for a calm getaway

Great little house for our winter getaway. Beds were a bit firm for me and the wife kids had no problems with them. That was our only gripe and it’s just a personal preference. Didn’t put a damper on our stay though as it was nothing a hot shower in the morning couldn’t take care of. Quaint little house in a quiet neighborhood.

Another great stay in McCloud

We have made the Mountain House our HQ for annual fall fly fishing trips repeatedly. Why? The house is clean and comfy, with a laundry room that’s perfect for drying wet fishing gear, it’s conveniently located near some of the best fly fishing in California, McCloud has some great eating options, and the property manager is extremely flexible and responsive. We’ll be back!

Charming home!

Excellent time staying with family and 2 dogs. The home was delightful and well appointed in a quiet neighborhood. My only suggestion would be to upgrade the mattresses or at the very least add a medium thickness foam pad. This is simply a matter of taste and my daughter and I are picky about quality mattresses. My son slept in the back room and was fine, yet he is an avid outdoorsman and could sleep fine on the sidewalk. My daughter is disabled and I am 70 yrs old...so it is just a matter of preference. The home and hosts are wonderful. The Mountain House is warm and cozy with everything you could possibly want and more. Obviously a lot of love put into this sweet home. We loved and appreciated it. Thank you so much!

We went there so my husband could go fly fishing. The location was perfect for that. Quiet town with not a lot to do. Very good meal at The Butcher Block Grill, formally The Meat Market. The staff was very friendly.

Caleb is an excellent host. The mountain House is perfectly appointed for extended stays. The beds and bedding were comfortable, the kitchen well stocked and the layout and atmosphere of the home cozy and inviting…true to the spirit of McCloud. The location is great for walking around the sweet little mountain town and close enough to Mt. Shasta and Dunsmuir to access restaurants and activities. I highly recommend The Mountain House for a relaxing getaway and proximity to Snowman’s Hill, the Nordic Ski area and Mt. Shasta ski slopes.

Very quiet house and neighborhood with view of mountain. Clean and well equipped. Quick replies from owner on the VRBO website. The only problem is locking and unlocking the front door from the outside is not easy. Seems to be something not perfect with the mechanism. Easy to lock and unlock from inside but difficult from the outside.Would stay there again :)
