Another great stay in McCloud
We have made the Mountain House our HQ for annual fall fly fishing trips repeatedly. Why? The house is clean and comfy, with a laundry room that’s perfect for drying wet fishing gear, it’s conveniently located near some of the best fly fishing in California, McCloud has some great eating options, and the property manager is extremely flexible and responsive. We’ll be back!

Charming home!
Excellent time staying with family and 2 dogs. The home was delightful and well appointed in a quiet neighborhood. My only suggestion would be to upgrade the mattresses or at the very least add a medium thickness foam pad. This is simply a matter of taste and my daughter and I are picky about quality mattresses. My son slept in the back room and was fine, yet he is an avid outdoorsman and could sleep fine on the sidewalk. My daughter is disabled and I am 70 yrs old...so it is just a matter of preference. The home and hosts are wonderful. The Mountain House is warm and cozy with everything you could possibly want and more. Obviously a lot of love put into this sweet home. We loved and appreciated it. Thank you so much!

Wonderful family weekend in McCloud
This property was an ideal getaway for our family. Its amenities and central McCloud location allowed us to relax, play indoor and outdoor games, and stroll around the town exploring. Our teenagers even put down their phones!

Everything we needed
Every year members of my family meet in McCloud for a week of fishing. In years past we would stay at the cabins in the campground, however the boys turned to men and we needed more room. This home was perfect for us. Clean, relaxing and convenient. Will definitely stay here again.

Cute and Comfortable House
We enjoyed our stay at the house with room for us and for our son and his family (including 2 grandsons), as a base for skiing at Mt Shasta. We found the house to be very comfortable. The boys were able to watch Disney movies on the large flat screen television. The kitchen is not fancy, but we were able to prepare meals easily. The coffee machine and hot water pot were appreciated and used for coffee and tea. The McCloud Market is a well stocked grocery store within walking distance, as are several cute stores and restaurants. It was nice to have mounted dispensers of shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the baths. The shower head in the stand-alone shower is situated rather low, which my short wife thought was great. The biggest negative was that the air hockey table that the grandsons were looking forward to playing didn’t work. The expected gas grill was likely buried under snow and ice somewhere behind the house, so could not be seen or used. We cooked the steaks in the kitchen and turned out great. We would be happy to return in the future and would recommend this as a nice place to stay.

Perfect fly fishing HQ
This is the second time I and 3 close friends have stayed in the Mountain House. McCloud is a great spot to stay to hit a variety of amazing flyfishing water -- it's a great epicenter for our annual Fall Classic flyfishing getaway. The house is comfortable, well-appointed, clean, and has everything needed to relax after a long day of wading and casting in some blue-ribbon trout waters. Caleb is easy to communicate with and responsive. We will stay here again.

Spending time with kids and grandkids
Our host Caleb was wonderful. The owner was also nice. The property wasn't kept up the front entrance area needed a good hosing down, screens were rip, didn't have adequate cooling, lots of left over used expired food in cupboards, old filthy sponge in kitchen, uncomfortable beds and sofas, stained carpet, wouldn't recommend. Maybe VRBO should inspect homes and give owners a check list.

Cute house. Great location.
This property could use a little TLC. I think some inconsiderate renters have not left the kitchen furnishings in acceptable condition. I was sure to wash everything I used before and after use. The carpet could stand to be cleaned.

The owner is super responsive and extremely timely when getting back to any questions I may have had. Second stay at this property. They have done quite a few upgrades since I was there last that make it even more comfortable and cozy. Great location. Love the front porch and easy access to all parts of the town. We will stay here again!

Great Easter weekend
We have a wonderful weekend in McCloud for Easter. The property was easy to find and comfortable. The heater worked great when we got snow overnight, central heating in all of the rooms. Linens and towels were well stocked and the game room was good for the kids. We were able to stream movies no problem and there were a lot of games in the cupboard. Overall a great weekend, we would rent again.

No toilet paper. No response from owner when contacted
Pros: the house is in a beautiful, safe location. Cons: one bed cover had fresh blood on it. I would include a picture if it would let me. And no reserve toilet paper. One bathroom had 2 rolls with almost no paper left under the counter. The other one had none. I tried to contact through vrbo and got no response. Had to buy my own.

Mountain house President's day weekend
We love staying at the mountain house! We have been staying here for the last 6 or 7 years or so when our church comes to McCloud for our annual snow trip. We couldn't get the house last year because we didn't book soon enough and had to stay in Dunsmuir at a motel, so we made sure to book early this year and were able to stay! It's very nice to be able to stay at a familiar place, it keeps it consistent for my family. Thanks so much!

Mountain house was perfect!
This was the perfect spot for our two families to come together for a ski weekend! The house had lots of games for the kids, the kitchen was well stocked for all our cooking, loved the big dinning room table for meals, lots of extra blankets and linens, at the edge of town so perfect for morning/evening dog walks and easy/quick drive to the mountain! This house is perfect for kids and dogs, which made for a great stay for our two families! Thanks Mountain House.

Stay was nice!
My sister rented one around the block so was there most of the time! House was clean and the neighborhood was nice and the neighbors were friendly! House was nice neat and clean. I like that it was dog friendly but felt $100 was steep price for dog I usually pay $50! Bring your own pillows I didn’t like the plastic on them loud and uncomfortable! But that seems to be the only complaint with the house!

Our family of 6, including 2 small grandchildren, had a wonderful time in the Mountain House. It was was warm, comfortable and well equipped, and the weather even cooperated with some fresh snow. We especially enjoyed sledding on the nearby Snowman Hill. We always enjoy visiting beautiful McCloud and would be happy to return to the Mountain House again.

Great LOCATION for skiing
Great property for a family. We stayed with our 4 kids (21,19,17,11) and a dog. Super close to skiing and hiking waterfalls. House is comfortable with lots of space for eating/puzzles, etc. Owners had quick response time to repair the furnace. Town is very small and with COVID closes pretty early so plan ahead for meals, but everyone super friendly. Axe and Rose had delicious food, as did Frosty’s. Would definitely visit here again.

The house was very clean and very well stocked. Very quiet and friendly neighbourhood. Grocery store, great cafe and burger places within walking distance. Kids loved air hockey. Parents loved walking up and down the street and enjoying the neighbourhood, the great views of Mt. Shasta and the small town feel - very relaxing. Internet was very reliable which was important as we had distance school and work for a few days. Would definitely stay here again.
