This is a charming, rustic house in a small, quiet community. Many touches have updated this older building, making it a comfortable and attractive lodging. Pleasant décor, ample and high-quality mattresses and linens, a reasonably well supplied kitchen, and an excellent information binder were pluses.
There were, however, several minuses:
The shower in the master bathroom had multiple dials and nozzles and no directions about how to use them, making it unusable until we reached the owner the next day.
The 1-person soaking tub looked awesome, but directions to it warned that once filled, no hot water would be available for showers until the water heater refilled.
Porch furniture was beyond rustic.
The kitchen had no small cutting boards and few knives.
The icemaker in the fridge (located just beyond the kitchen) overflowed and when cleared produced no more ice.
We reported the smell of propane on our 2nd day. The owners were not local and with no local property manager, this was not investigated until on the 3rd day we reported that the stove and oven no longer worked. We were offered $50 to cover the inconvenience of having to go to restaurants for our remaining cooked meals (1 breakfast + tip for 4 adults was $94). The good intention was appreciated but the offer was underwhelming. Suggestion: Generosity builds loyalty.
Hikes to the McCloud Falls and Mt Shasta were spectacular. I hope our input will enable future guests to enjoy these places and this house, too.
