The apartment is convenient to everything, but offers the peace and serenity of the woods. Come enjoy the beautiful trees and abundant wildlife, including many birds, squirrels, rabbits, deer, with occasional visits from foxes, bobcats, coyotes, and even bears. At night, you'll experience the soft voices of the forest and the wind in the trees, with beautiful starry skies and the moon rising over Mt. Shasta.

It offers many fine features. Relax in luxurious comfort and enjoy an excellent night’s sleep in the euro pillow-top, queen-sized bed. You’ll appreciate our “small” extra touches, like 400-thread count all-cotton sheets, hypoallergenic pillows, hand-stitched quilting, a Persian rug, and genuine antiques.

Many other top-quality conveniences will make your stay comfortable and pleasant. There is a mini-refrigerator with separate freezer, a microwave oven, a bagel toaster and a coffee & tea maker with hot water dispenser. You'll be responsible for your own meals during your stay, but we provide complimentary Peet’s coffee, hot chocolate, and a selection of Quaker Oatmeal and Kellogg's Wellness Cereals. Dishware and silverware are provided. Get your visit off to a great start with a complimentary bottle of champagne (2+ day stay) and enjoy a glass or two while you marvel at your view of the mountain and plan your activities. Complimentary ultra high-speed high-speed wireless Internet (600 mbps) is provided. There’s a wall-mounted 42” flat screen TV for streaming. There is no regular TV reception, but you can stream movies from Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, or whatever web content you prefer, with Chromecast (if you are not familiar with Chromecast you may wish to familiarize yourself with it before you arrive) or the HDMI input (bring your own adapter, if needed). You are welcome to bring your own DVDs to play in the DVD player, too. The private, full bath in the apartment features a separate stall shower and fresh cotton towels.

The property is located on a well-maintained road just a couple of miles off I-5, with easy on/off. We have ample parking with room for even large boats or RVs (if you have a boat or RV you will need to leave it in our front parking lot and walk back approximately 40 yards to the apartment).

This is a private studio apartment on its own level (the downstairs level of our two-story home), with its own private entry. We live upstairs, in our separate space. There is good separation and we leave you alone to enjoy your stay. You are welcome to walk through and enjoy our entire 5 acre property, which is in a beautiful forest setting.

When you book with us, we send you a "welcome message" on Airbnb's app, with complete information for your visit. It includes directions to our property, self-check-in instructions for using the lockbox (including the lockbox code), how to contact us, and a brief orientation to the room.

***Please be sure to read our directions carefully, to find our property and use the lockbox to check yourself in easily!***

Our property is certified wildlife habitat. Please help us protect nature, during your visit: 1) Fire is a real danger, here in the forest. This forest is classified as a very high fire hazard severity area, and our house rules specify no open fires, candles, cookstoves, hotplates, open flame, cooking or smoking in the apartment or anywhere on the property. Please be sure to observe this. 2) We also ask that you drive very slowly down our driveway (5 MPH both day and night) and take care to protect all wildlife large and small. Thank you.
