We had our wedding here July 4, 2009. It was honestly the best day of our lives. And every guest we…read moretalked to said it was the best/funnest wedding they had ever been to. First, the setting is breathtaking: gorgeous green pine tree forest surrounding the wedding ceremony site, mountains in the background, perfect weather (mid-80s all day, and no wind) and the beautiful wedding village, Pinegri-La. Pinegri-La has 5 cabins that can sleep from 6 to 12 people, depending on the cabin, as well as a camping area. We had 50 guests stay onsite in cabins and camp. The rest of our guests, stayed at the Dunsmuir Lodge and Railroad Park, which are about a half hour away. We came up Thursday night and spent the weekend with our friends and family. Everyone had a great time walking to nearby swimming holes and alpine lakes. At night, we would barbecue and roast S'mores and talk into the late hours over the campfire. We had our rehearsal dinner/bbq Friday night, and Beth and John pulled if off without a hitch. The food was great, and the setting was perfect. On the wedding day, guests went for hikes while my bridesmaids and I got ready in Pinegri-La's bridal dressing room (very cute room with comfy couches and mirrors). The ceremony was beautiful! I can't say enough about how beautiful this ceremony site is--the most beautiful wedding site I've ever seen -- and I'm not just saying that cause it was my wedding. For the dinner, the food was perfect -- very delicious and on time and fresh and hot! Beth and John (the owners) and their staff do a wonderful job. We had about 140 guests, and they handled it perfectly. They also had someone in the nearby town make the cake, and it was delicious and beautiful too. Then we danced until we wanted (no curfew!) All our guests -- old and young alike -- said it was the funnest wedding they had ever been to. The only downside to this location is that it is a half-hour drive up a winding mountain roud. But, it is paved all the way, and no one seemed to complain about it. All in all, it was the best day of our lives, and we were very sad when it was all over....

The venue that Shasta weddings provides is absolutely breathtaking! It is such a beautiful place in…read morethe middle of nowhere, great for people who want to escape into the magical woods with friends & family. However, there were *several* problems which made my experience less than ideal. I would like to frame this review as me helping anyone who might be considering Shasta weddings as a venue, not complaining. I am grateful for our experience but I would have done things completely different had I known the following information: First of all, the most major problem is that there is no service & no wifi. I had no idea about this, as we visited in June & had service at the time. Regardless, the day of the ceremony, we arrived & had no service. This was problematic because several people did not have directions so a lot of people were late or unable to come because they never got directions. Further, Shasta Weddings has a satellite & wifi, but Beth wouldn't share it because it would slow down her service. Several people asked & she ignored them. Then those people were bugging me, which annoyed me on my wedding day. Not only was this bad for directions, but it was bad for our musical selections. Any songs/music not downloaded were unable to be downloaded. So, if you're planning a wedding at Shasta Weddings, you need to definitely have everyone on the same page as far as directions, knowing that there is no service, & the DJ having all the music pre-selected & downloaded. Not too hard, but in my opinion, unfair... even though, admittedly, we were never promised wifi or service. Second of all, I did not realize that check in for EVERYONE was by 5pm. This makes absolutely no sense for a DESTINATION wedding in the middle of nowhere... No one lived close. Everyone had to travel. Why should they be expected to arrive no later than 5pm? With that in mind, the way that check in was done was bizarre. Beth had mentioned to my mother-in-law that she could be "in charge" of people checking in after 5. Several of my friends & family members either didn't end up coming, or left the venue to go get a hotel because it was snowing. Many also got there when my mother-in-law wasn't sitting at the table waiting. Regardless, the payment for those guests was taken out of our deposit. Thus, WE were still responsible for paying for the guests that couldn't stay due to weather, not being able to find the venue, or just didn't end up coming. etc. I had no idea about this, as my last update was sent to her 9/21 for my 9/28 wedding, & on the paper it is written "You are not committed to the placements but we can help if something seems amiss." which is interesting because apparently i had committed to those placements... since i had to pay. With this in mind, i would suggest hiring someone to take care of the names/collect the money, so that you will have some of your deposit left back! Beyond that, she was generous with the rest of the deposit, as we left in a hurry & didn't clean much beyond the basics. she even did not charge us for the "campers" who were supposed to camp but obviously could not since it was freezing. So i am grateful for that! As i said, I would hire someone for that & save yourself a few hundred bucks. Lastly, just so any brides-to-be are wondering about the nearest town, Redding, for beauty treatments... i had some of the worst experiences in my life in that town! It was sad :( I left them all Yelp reviews so feel free to check. For some good news, I choose Sequoua photography for my pictures, & she did an amazing job. She is listed on their vender sites. LASTLY- if you are a vegan or vegetarian, I recommend making your own food instead of eating the food Beth & co make. Apparently the meat sandwiches they made were AMAZING (as was the vegan chili- so so good! ) BUT the sandwiches were.... cucumber & hummus.... Every vegan came up to me CONFUSED & slightly offended lol. But all in all, it's a great venue especially if you are simultaneously on top of your shit & also not really caring how things might end up, & are willing to do the aforementioned suggestions. LASTLY- the curfew for all guests not staying on site is midnight... This is kind of annoying but understandable for the way the road is set up (essentially a paved, one-lane, spooky road) it might be done for safety purposes... however, later than midnight I doubt anyone is coming up that road, so going down should be even less of a hazard at that point. This disappointed a lot of our Airbnb guests who wanted to party all night with us.... but, since it was soooOooo cold, we didn't even end up partying all night, so it wasn't too bad! Beth & John were super nice. The venue is gorgeous. They were also very communicative & asked me if i needed things frequently. So no hard feelings, it was an amazing time. I just wanted to advise other people how to navigate this venue so that they can have a slightly better experience than I did.

Clean, classic, quaint, with everything you need to rest up from a strenuous day of hiking/biking/skiing or just a stop off the road. The kitchen is equipped with a refrigerator, stove, microwave and coffee pot. there are dishes in the cabinets. These used to be fulltime live in apartments so they're not your typical motel room. Steve, the owner is very friendly and accommodating. The town of McCloud was build by the McCloud Mill family for the loggers and sawmill workers who would come to work from spring through fall each year milling trees. Once that industry died out the town has survived through other means such as tourism. McCloud in particular is known for putting on some fantastic festivals through their active Chamber of Commerce and other organizations. Their annual Mushroom Festival brings in over 60,000 people from all over California, Oregon, Washington, and Nevada for the weekend. It offers a variety of Music, Food, Wine, a mushroom farmers market, a series of educational Mushroom classes by professional mycologists from all over the world. And a Crafters/Art market featuring unique, one of a kind and stunning works of art. At the base of Mt. Shasta, McCloud is 3.5 miles from the town of Mt. Shasta. McCloud Falls is 11 miles away, don't miss those. Medicine Lake is a sacred place nearby and also a good place to fish. Check out the McCloud Chamber of Commerce for updated events.

Our unit was one of 3 big ones that has two bedrooms, a living room, bathroom, and kitchenette. It has a small porch and trees out back. It's conveniently located to all the beautiful nature spots, the owner is incredibly nice. It is not a high end sterile place, the decor is dated, but in a really cute way. It feels like a home, not like a hotel. Also, price here is so freaking reasonable it seems unreal. It was midweek when we stayed, but the cost was $80! Every other place I called was much much more, and I promise you they would not have been as sweet, homey, or quaint.

We want to thank Cindy (who runs the Guest House) for a wonderful trip and stay. We went to…read moreMcCloud, on a heritage trip, as we had family who worked for the lumber company years ago. Cindy opened the Guest House to us and it was amazing. We spent every evening on the porch looking at Mt Shasta, smelling the pines and one evening watching a bear lumber down the driveway. Breakfast was served at the McCloud Hotel. We placed our order the night before and the meals were made to order, on time, a perfect portion and very delicious. Sight seeing, around the area, was really fun. We fished, played golf at the McCloud golf course, swam in the river, took drives and saw where family had lived. Cindy has pleasant staff and we enjoyed chatting with Nicole. This is an out of the way and beautiful part of California. I strongly suggest the Guest House or the McCloud Hotel.

As soon as we walked in the door at 11:15pm, just 15 min before closing, the owner informed us on all the waterfalls and recommended his personal favorites that were just around the area. He genuinely cares about his job and customers, and made us feel so welcome. Everyone that worked here was so kind and attentive and ensured that our stay was comfortable. Unfortunately we had a family emergency and had to leave one day early, and the owner promptly gave us a refund without us even asking for it. I will recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to stay to explore this area of Northern California!

I'm not sure where to begin! TL;DR - this property exceeded our expectations and we will…read moredefinitely stay here again when we return to the area. From the time I booked to the time we checked out, the timing of their communication and the amount of information was perfect. The emails before our trip helped us prep, the ones the day of check-in helped us remember the code we'd need and where to park. We had opportunities to ask questions or voice concerns during our stay if needed and the reminders for check-out were helpful. When I host guests at my house, I do everything I can to anticipate needs to make their stay as welcoming as possible. There are so many facets to hospitality. To say I was absolutely blown away by the level of care these owners put into their property is an understatement! When you read the other reviews about the cleanliness of the property/rooms, the fantastic communication and the attention to detail, believe them. Not only were the amenities more than we needed, but they anticipated our needs before we knew we'd have them. They're THAT good! I don't want to spoil all the surprises so if you find yourself in Room 201, you'll know. ;-) As we departed, we scanned the room several times, but yep, we woke up in the middle of the night realizing we had forgotten some important healing tools my boyfriends uses for his business. Dawn received a 2:10am email and before 12noon, she and the team located our items and had made arrangements to get those back to us. Such superior and swift customer service! This property is centrally located so we could explore as much or little as we wanted and it was perfect for my boyfriend's birthday weekend.
