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.

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 :)

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.

Wonderful, everything as expected although could use another AC unit since it was triple digits the 3 days we were there. The owner were so helpful by providing an ice chest for a day at the lake upon request. The beds were comfy and showers had great pressure. I would highly recommend

About the host

Hosted by Caleb Martin

Host profile image
We are an outdoor family of 6 that has fallen in love with McCloud and all surrounding towns. We have 4 grown sons that grew up camping, hiking, riding, skiing, and fishing McCloud. We recently purchased The Mountain House from a great family who had owned the home for 65 years.

Why they chose this property

This home has such rich history and love. We fell in love with the house because of the views and proximity to downtown, hoo hoo park, Mount Shasta Ski resort, and many more.
