35mi from Redding · 1 site · Lodging · Shingletown, CA

Are you ready to unplug from the world and recharge in nature? This newly built two bedroom, two bath log cabin will help you do just that. You’ll reconnect with love ones since the cabin has NO WIFI but does have a wood burning stove and miles of trails to walk on just outside of the front door. The cabin is conveniently located just minutes from the north entrance of Lassen National Park. For entertainment, I have a TV (no cable)/DVD player with a selection of movies, board games, and reading material including a few books and magazines. There is timber land at the back of the property with plenty of trails to walk or ride a mountain bike (if you bring one). Lassen National Park is a short drive away. Also nearby is lake McCumber. I have a wood burning stove inside that you can use for a fire. Absolutely NO FIRES outside. There is a fire ban in effect, thank you for your cooperation and understanding. I have a propane BBQ outside that you can use, along with a picnic bench and other outside seating. I will provide a selection of tea, hot coco, coffee and oatmeal to get your day started. Be sure to bring food with you since the nearest grocery story is about 9 miles away. I will provide a basket of firewood to use during your stay, but it's a good idea to bring extra since it will go fast. Because you're in the forest, there is limited cell reception so please plan accordingly. I've found that Verizon has some signal while AT&T has none. Since it's meant to get away from it all, not having cell service might be a good thing. :) The master bedroom is on the entire loft floor so there isn't a lock or door that separates the main area downstairs. Just so you're aware. There is a door and lock on the guest bedroom downstairs. All you'll need to bring are your personal items, food for your stay, and extra firewood! Once booked, I will send more helpful tips and information for your stay a week prior to your check in date. Dogs - I allow dogs because I believe they are part of the family, but please notify me if you intend to bring your dog prior to your stay. If there is high wind in the forecast, the electric company, PG&E may turn the power off for safety reasons. They usually notify me a day in advance and I will let you know right away, but I wanted you to know that it might be a possibility during your stay. For Winter Guests: A 4 wheel drive vehicle or car with chains is HIGHLY recommended to travel to the cabin. The main road is paved but there will be snow/ice in the area. The driveway is a slight uphill and is not paved. Please be prepared for snow. ***Approved Shasta County Short Term Rental Permit #STR 20-0013***

What an incredible story this place has. The owners have clearly followed God's creative direction and created a heavenly oasis in the middle of the Trinity Alps. The highlight for sure is rafting down the river, which I didn't have enough time to do. This is def a family camp, stay for a few days kinda place. My studio room was big and clean and had everything I needed microwaving my dinner and a quick breakfast. Although you could happily be fed every meal and drink at the cafe!

My wife and I came here last year, just the two of us and fell in love with it (and our hosts) immediately. We planned to bring our kids for our next family trip and they had a blast so another visit was in the xards. This time there were enough campers for Scott to fire up the pizza oven and make some delicious pizza for everyone. Scott is a wonderful guy, he has made special effort to accomodate us each time we've been there. This time he went and got paint for my daughter to paint rocks with. We all love Camp Stoney Meadows and look forward to our next visit

Scott and Nora have created a magical landscape to explore like you’re a child again. Every part of it consists of beauty and thoughtful intention so you can fully enjoy nature. The Bunkhouse had AC, windows for ventilation and comfy cots! They give you keys to lock your rooms. A mini fridge and microwave are available to you as well. It truly felt like magic being there. We enjoyed the stream directly in front of our bunkhouse. A walk and a few steps down a hill away, is a DARLING swimming hole that we enjoyed - complete with inner tubes and a chair provided by the host. It was absolutely stunning. The shared bathroom, shower and outdoor kitchen was so clean and well kept. This was my first experience using this app and I think I got extremely lucky with finding this place. There were children running around unplugged from technology, playing in the stream, riding ATV’s and they were just as welcoming as the hosts themselves! This may be a no brainer as well, but seeing the sky at night in their open field was probably my favorite part of the stay. I had never seen so many stars in my life. I hope that when I have kids, this little place is still running so I can bring them here to experience the magic I did.

I love the rustic cabins at Dunsmuir and have for the past 20 years. They are sweet, ramshackle, and super old-timey in the best way. They have totally updated the check-in, the pool, the beautiful courtyard and the sundries in the shop which is so nice. But thankfully they left rustic cabins, rustic.

We absolutely loved it and can’t wait to go back! If you love being off grid with a super friendly host, then you’ll love it too. Scott was the sweetest and checked in with us every morning. We unfortunately didn’t get to meet Nora but I heard she’s just as kind. We felt safe with the dogs watching over the property day and night, and they even tolerated our high energy puppy in training. The kids enjoyed swimming in the watering holes and creek to cool off as did the rest of us! The only downside was coming back to all the emails and texts that I truly didn’t miss!

It felt like coming home. The room is just as cozy and welcoming as I remembered—clean, peaceful, and thoughtfully set up with everything you need to relax. There’s something about waking up here that makes you feel grounded and refreshed. The whole site has that rare kind of magic—wide skies, quiet mornings, and the kind of stillness that invites you to slow down and breathe. Whether you’re here to hike, write, pray, or just unplug, this place wraps around you like a warm blanket. Returning here reminded me why I came the first time: it’s not just a place to stay—it’s a place to be. Can’t wait for visit number three!

We had an awesome two-night stay at the cabin! Scott’s a fantastic host — super thoughtful and clearly knows how to take care of his guests. The campsite has some seriously scenic mountain views and a peaceful little creek running by that gives you instant “nature therapy.” 🌲🏕️ Would definitely love to go back again. Highly recommend! Heads up: the last mile to the campsite isn’t paved, so be ready for a fun little pothole obstacle course
