The property was beautiful. The nature elements were very soothing and perfect for a vacation. The room was big and spacious and not cluttered. Bathroom was huge too. We were in the royal shasta room. Included breakfast was a special touch and we really enjoyed our indian and continental breakfast. However, I found some stray hair on the linen so hygiene-wise...I'm not sure .Communication was not my style either. Ever since the booking, i got non-stop emails and messages to share my personal email so they can send "additional information about my room". I have never been asked this with any expedia booking so it felt sneaky and suspicious. In those same emails and texts, I kept getting told to expect a call to receive check-in information. This was weird too. I was on a road trip and it was very frustrating that I had to be able to receive a call from the property to receive my access details? Maybe some people like the human touch but it was simply an annoyance to me. When i did receive the call, as expected, it kept getting dropped because I was on the road the whole time. The little i could hear was the person telling me they dont give access details until they speak to the guest. This is a weird requirement and no where mentioned in the property details. Again felt iffy. And of course the person tried several creative ways to get my personal email again! The whole thing felt very odd and I dont trust this property to book a stay again.

The Best Surprise!

This little retreat was an absolute surprise! Off the road, quiet and spacious, it truly was enchanting. The rooms were generously large, with a large bathroom and very big tiles showered. The breakfast include was delicious. The communication from email, texts and calls were very considerate as they want to make sure their guests arrive okay and are settled as there is limited cell service for some. A beautiful stay!

Quality stay for very good value

The pride in caring was evident from the moment we walked in. Clean, well organized and good staff. Room was small—we had the goldfinch room-but comfortable. Excellent A/C and fan, very good shower, nice touches with microwave, fridge, coffee maker, quality sheets/towels and the offer of breakfast delivered in bed. Recommended

This was a great place to stay, especially for the price in a tourist area! It is very close off I-5, yet secluded and quiet. Self check in is easy and they communicate with you at various points to make everything easy. It was clean, comfortable and had great AC, that was blissfully quiet. Great breakfasts you order the night before and they bring to you in the morning. Convenient access to any extras you need like ice, extra coffee, condiments, etc. Really enjoyed our stay. If you get a chance while there, visit the Shasta Caverns and eat at Huff’s.

The space was clean and very private. My daughter and I enjoyed the robes and slippers provided. The staff was very attentive. They provide breakfast, which they deliver to the room. It is very rustic, and they had a small garden on the property. It is only 1.5 miles from the Shasta Lake Caverns, which we visited. Unfortunately, there aren't any nearby restaurants. Everything was a 10-15 minute drive away. They mentioned a train might pass by, but we didn't hear it from our room, the Grey Squirrel.
