Property details

In historic downtown Dunsmuir, just 15 minutes from Mt. Shasta and 6 miles from Castle Crags State Park. Discover one of Northern California’s most extraordinary landscapes: volcanic peaks, lava tubes, ancient granite spires, alpine lakes, hidden waterfalls, lenticular clouds, swimming holes, the Pacific Crest Trail, & world-class fishing.

An ideal basecamp for hiking. Home to "the best water on Earth", and one of Northern California's last great hidden treasures.

🌋The mountain is calling🌋

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!

Spent couple of nights at Kelly's place to explore Shasta and surrounding areas. One great thing about her place is that we can take our small dog with us for the trip and stay at Kelly's. The location is super convenient to go to where we want. The place is warm and comfortable. We feel like we are at home! Will definitely stay there again when we come up to Shasta next time! Thanks Kelly!!

The Little Shasta is perfect! Had everything we needed for our stay. Nice location close to downtown. Highly recommend Bee Kind Bakery which is a very short walk. Thank you for a nice peaceful stay.
