This is sacred land, and we hold many events here on this property such as CE5, Spirit Photography and Drum circles. We will let you know ahead of time if there will be an event when you book. We usually host them on the new moon and on a weekend. Loads of wildlife roam these lands so be prepared to see bear, coyote, deer, fox and many species of birds including a Heron live down by the creek.

You may choose to place the hammock outside to enjoy, it’s up to you. Please remove your shoes upon entering the dome, you may want to place them on the coat rack to the right of the door rather than leave them outside as it’s safer. We do not have a cook top stove, or microwave so it’s best to plan to eat out. There’s no fires of any kind that we can allow here so no bbq or cooking. We know all the good spots and will gladly share them. Text me if you need anything, I’m happy to help. The Composting toilet is one of the best on the market, called Natures Head. It’s located outside of the dome for privacy in a king camp tent with everything b you’ll need inside. Its super easy to work and believe it or not, not so bad to use. Directions are inside the restroom. The outdoor shower is located near the main home, but built into the forest and private. We like to give guests what we would want to experience, and it turned out pretty fantastic. The hot water lasts 20 mins and heats up fast. Please keep all shower products naturally based as we are eco friendly and holistically based. Soap will be provided as I make them myself. Note! There are bugs, There are wildlife, this is a glamping experience so please know that when you book, you will know what you’re getting. Although this is luxury glamping it’s still glamping! We aren’t able to have ANY fires on the property, none. Can’t make any exceptions, we’re sorry. That means no bbqing, no smoking on the property. This place is meant to be shared, with nature lovers, conscious creators and spiritual wanderers. Welcome.

There are the sights of the country life that surrounds us, the cattle and sheep of the ranch behind us, and the horses grazing in the meadow across the road. And a final and impossible to miss addition to the sights and sounds for you to take home - the solitary 14,179 foot Mount Shasta presiding calmly over its domain.

We've been enjoying this special spot with family and friends for over 25 years, and now we want to share it with you. We appreciate the four seasons here on our 120 acres in the beautiful Cascade Range between Mt. Lassen and Mt. Shasta. Our property is adjacent to Shasta Trinity National Forest. It's a working ranch with tree farms, animals, hydroelectric power, sawmill, gardens, orchards, creeks, springs, trails, and our camp alongside Kosk Creek. We're 54 miles from Redding off of 299E, (about 1-1/2 hour drive). The last mile or so of the road here can be pretty rough, but on arrival, you'll know it's worth the trip! No Cell phone service available here, so it's the perfect opportunity to unplug. We do have a land line up at the house in case of an emergency. Also, if you really need it, WiFi is available at the house.
