Little Shasta House is a cozy, fully equipped 888-square-foot cottage tucked into one of Northern California’s best-kept secrets: the historic railroad town of Dunsmuir, set along the Upper Sacramento River.

You can walk to downtown Dunsmuir for restaurants, coffee, and small-town charm, then return to a private, comfortable space to unwind. Sip your morning coffee on the front porch, cook in the fully equipped kitchen, and settle into the cozy living room after a day outdoors.

The cottage includes a queen bed, fully equipped kitchen, and a welcoming living room to decompress after days that will genuinely take your breath away.

Perfect for couples, solo travelers, weekend adventurers, and anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with easy access to exceptional outdoor beauty.

We can use natural, eco-friendly cleaning products if requested throughout.

The entire home is yours — full privacy, self check-in via lockbox. Your hosts are a quick message away if you need anything, but your stay is completely your own.

Home is 110 years old and as cute as can be! Guests check in on their own and reach out to host with questions or issues. Host does not interact with guests unless necessary. Guests' stays are totally private. We value your stay and want it to be the best!
