About this cabin rental
Our lakes are full! Perfect location for daily swimming and adventuring at Whiskeytown Lake! Only 3 miles to the lake.
Please click on photos until you get full-size photos of the house and property for best view.
The home is located in the historic town of Shasta. Some refer to Shasta as Old Shasta. Our town has a Courthouse/Museum, Mercantile and Shorty's cafe along with the row of brick ruins that line the highway. The Western Star Lodge #2 is the oldest chartered lodge in California. The town has 3 historic cemeteries, Masonic, Catholic and the Union (Pioneer) Cemetery. The State park is located within walking distance.
Whiskeytown lake (3 miles) most trails are now open and the lake is having some great fishing days. Some of our guest that are avid gold miners have found nuggets in unusual areas. Areas that were inaccessible before the fire.
Don’t forget to pickup your $1 gold panning permit at Whiskeytown National Park.
The Little Red House
It is always our goal to provide guests with the rustic beauty and charm, while providing all the modern conveniences of home. Work from home! Adventure!
We have taken pride in our home, as it is the home in which we raised our two girls. Cleanliness is always our first priority along with comfort. An Ionizer (purifying) is used for 6-8 hours. All bedding is washed in hot water. Both bedrooms have luxurious beds, bedding and pillows for a perfect night’s sleep. The backyard gives you the solitude of a parklike setting. Our redwood outdoor shower is a real treat!
My husband and I enjoy hiking and biking locally with day hikes to surrounding areas.
Other areas to hike besides Whiskeytown are Castle Crags, Mt. Shasta, Mt. Lassen or even a day trip to the coast.
We also have a pear tree that bears fruit towards the end of October through the first 3 weeks of November. This pear tree was planted at our home in 1957. In 2015 the mother pear tree produced 2018 pounds. I have also grafted an additional 30 trees as of which 14 are planted at the Little Red House. Join us for fall and enjoy our pears.
We have a few inquiries regarding pets. We love animals however, our Fir floors are soft wood and took me a month to refinish from pet nail damage. Plus, since we advertise a pet free home to those with allergies. The backyard is also not dog proof.
Available for short term rentals, 3 days or 3 months.
If you have any questions about what to do in and around old Shasta feel free to ask me questions and I will assist you with organizing your adventures.

A beautiful property within a very short walking distance to historic sites, ruins, and a gold rush era cemetery. Very cool to see. Located only a brief drive from the lake, the house is charming, well stocked, and has comfortable beds. The outdoor shower is fantastic! The deck is a beautiful location to enjoy your morning coffee and both check in and out were easy. I was impressed that the freezer had an automatic icemaker. We visited during a heat wave and the AC kept us nice and cool. Hosts are friendly, communicative, and local. I highly recommend the Little Red House and I’m sure we will visit again!

Very nice house, deck was relaxing and cool even on hot redding summer days. Great place to stay- to explore Lassen or Whiskeytown lake

The cabin was perfect for our girls weekend and the host was awesome. Beware the description is not always accurate even though VRBO has been notified. There is no hot tub or pool, and no lakes within walking distance (but there is a cemetery next door and historical buildings down the block). Whiskeytown Lake is a short drive from the cabin and has lots of places to relax on the beach or play in the water. There are also lots of waterfalls nearby you can hike to. Check out the visitor center for a map, parking permit and park rules. There’s so much to do we are definitely coming back!!

Super cute house with lots of antiques and personal touches.
Enjoyed our stay and loved being so close to the lake, we were able to get our kayaks out on the lake without a lot of travel time to and from.
My husband and I are average height and retired. We found it difficult to get into and out of the claw foot tub for our showers (safety). We also found it challenging to get into and out of the beds as they were on frames that were higher than normal.
