Welcome to our modern cabin on a 5-acre property with an apple orchard. The panoramic view of Mt Shasta is unparalleled and can be enjoyed from the expansive terrace, living room, dinning room and master bedroom. The cabin was recently renovated, appliances upgraded, all windows replaced and the setting is peaceful and quite. The terrace includes a gas grill, outdoor seating and an umbrella for indoor/outdoor living. We are located in Hammond Ranch, 9 miles north of downtown Mt Shasta. The cabin was built by Ben's parents in the early 80's and was renovated once we took it over as a family home. The appliances have been upgraded, all the windows replaced and the furnishings recently purchased. New towels, linens, mattresses, carpet and bathroom flooring give the cabin a fresh feel. The wood-burning fireplace creates a cozy atmosphere and heats the cabin well in winter. There is also a monitor heater, if necessary. The floor plan is open with a loft-like feel. We have a shoes off policy and we provide an assortment of slippers for your comfort. No smoking or pets. In total the house can sleep 15 people. This is assumes two people sleep together in the full, queen or king beds and breaks down as follows: 1. upstairs master bedroom has a king bed : 2 people 2. upstairs guest room has a queen bed : 2 people 3. upstairs loft has a full futon mattress : 1 person (2 is possible but cozy and not counted) 4. upstairs den fold out couch has a full size mattress: 2 people 5. downstairs living room couch : 1 person 6. downstairs bunk bed with a trundle: 3 kids or 2 adults (The bunk beds are for kids but adults can sleep on the bottom bunk and bottom trundle. An adult can not sleep on the top bunk due to the weight limitation of 80 lbs.) The above totals 12 people, in the main portion of the house. We have an additional, separate room called the "Cabin Suite" which we built for our family but offer it to guests. It’s connected to the house and is a little more private. It does not have it’s own bathroom but is very close to the downstairs bathroom in the cabin. We charge an extra $145/night for this room. It sleeps four people as follows: 7. one queen bed: 2 people 8. loft w/two twin beds : 2 kids or 2 adults Guests can choose to add this option. However, if you have more than 12 people, we typically require you to rent the cabin suite. This is not automatically charged via Air BnB, we have to add this cost on. This can be discussed on AirBnB’s messaging portal prior. We are available for any questions regarding the cabin or recommendations for the local hot spots. Beyond our property there are numerous activities that can be enjoyed during all seasons in Mt Shasta. There are lots of amazing hikes, biking trails and several lakes within a short distance for kayaking, canoeing, sailing, fishing or swimming. In winter, favorite activities includes skiing, sledding or show shoeing. Our 5 acre property is fenced in around the house and our small fruit orchard. The fenced area is approximately 2.5 acres. You have full and exclusive access to the entire fenced in area. From time to time we/our family parks and stay in our small Airstream, outside this fenced area. We are located in Hammond Ranch and are 9 miles north of downtown Mt Shasta. The main road to the property, Ponderosa Drive is not paved or maintained by the city. We ask that guest drive only 15 per hr down this road to limit the amount of dust for the neighbors during the dry season. During the winter, the road will require plowing which will be an additional expense to the guests. The BBQ grill is stored during the winter months and not available. In addition, we have a ring doorbell near the front door next to the keypad.
