If I am in town, I am available for whatever level of interaction my guests desire. Want to get to know me? Let's walk to the coffee shop. Need info on the area or a restaurant recommendation? Give me a call or I can come over for a visit. Want limited interaction? I will stay away. If any problems arise, I am always available via phone, text, and email. Take a 3 minute walk to the most happening coffee shop in town, Seven Suns, or walk 5 minutes the other way to your morning yoga class. Just across the street is the Mount Shasta Pastry shop and a few doors down is the bustling health food store, Berryvale. At the Alpenglow Bungalow, you are in the center of it all. After you finish exploring the town on foot, you can continue the adventure by bike or car. Lake Siskiyou, Castle Lake, The Old Ski Bowl (7800'), and plenty of hiking, biking, paddling, golfing, swimming, climbing, fishing, and skiing options are all minutes away. There is something here for everyone, whether it's a multi-day mountaineering expedition to the summit of 14,179' Mt. Shasta or a leisurely stroll to feed the rainbow trout in the Mt Shasta Fish Hatchery or something in between! Let me know what you want to do and I'll point you in the right direction, and maybe even let you in one some local secret spots. ;) The beauty of Mt. Shasta is that it is small and pretty remote, but located right off the I-5 freeway. Redding airport is 1 hour south and Medford (which has more airline service) is 1.5 hour drive north. Both airports have car rental services on site. There are a few places in town that rent bikes. Local taxis, shuttles, and bus services are also available. As of February 2017, we even have one Uber driver! The day before you arrive, I will send you a message with access info, house rules, and other things to note. If this is off-putting, we are probably not a good fit for your group. The message looks like this: You are coming to Mt. Shasta tomorrow!

The WIFI info and other house information is located in the binder in the house. TRASH: Please bag all trash and do not leave boxes or other trash next to the cans. We do not recycle because it didn’t work at the house, but you can take it to the recycling center down the street if you wish. There could be snow or rain so plan your wardrobe accordingly. Be very careful when walking around as it may be icy. Do not sled in the driveway as it causes ice formation. In the summer, open windows at night and close them and the shades during the day to keep it cool. Please ventilate the house while cooking and try cooking bacon in the oven at 425 degrees on a foil-lined baking sheet. Works amazingly with no mess:) There is a BBQ outside. No need to buy bottled water here....we have some of the best stuff on earth right out of the tap! It wins contests...it is THAT good. It is best to park all the way down the driveway, facing the fence to the right so 2 cars can come and go freely. You can also park on the street, but not in snowy conditions. There is more info in the house binders and feel free to message me with any question or concerns. Safe travels! We pride ourselves on being a pet allergy-free home! Please do not ask us if we can make exceptions. Parents: let us know what we can do to make this stay easier. We can provide cribs, baby carriers, strollers etc. on request.
