1 night at Explore the Trinity Alps!

Beautifully maintained grounds, excellent staff, cafe has great coffee.

2 nights at Peter's Forest Vacation Rentals

Pretty campground. Staff was very accommodating. We practically had the place to ourselves. Worked well for a home base for Lassen.

1 night at Explore the Trinity Alps!

We took a road trip around NorCal in a 32' RV. Dawn's site provided a perfectly located stop point for us on 299 with full hookups. The site is easy to get in and out of, everything is meticulously well-maintained. There is a cafe just across the street (walking 1 min) with great coffee (and food) that they roast and distribute themselves. The owners are very welcoming and will help answer any questions you may have. And of course you're right on the Trinity river, so bald eagles and deer crossing river is what you'll get.

Weekend Trip to Blue Belly Cabin

This place was amazing. Had some deer visit every single day. Brought the telescope and we were able to see Jupiter and the moons. The property is absolutely comfortable and Charming. We enjoyed a fire in the living room while we played games at night. Any negative remarks have seen regarding cobwebs or it seeming like somebody lives there? I don't know. I thought it was an extremely Soulful cabin experience with more Comforts that I'm used to at a cabin. If you're looking for a polished condo airbnb? You probably wouldn't be searching a cabin in this area. Hahaha. We will absolutely be back. This place is obviously run by artists, and it sure shows

Weekend Trip to Peter's Forest Vacation Rentals

It was a great spot for kids near Lassen National park.

Weekend Trip to Peter's Forest Vacation Rentals

The cabin was cozy and warm and made for a comfortable stay on a cold spring night. Our hosts were friendly and accommodating and I bet this place would be loads of fun with a big group in the summertime. Beware that Google Maps sent us to the next road down, but if you follow the signs the campground is easy to find.

7 nights at Cabin Hideaway

We absolutely loved Lisa's little cabin. It is well kept & has all the little amenities you may need including ear plugs for the near by train, toiletries, games, and even a heated mattress pad that my husband and I feel in love with.... so much that we even bought a pad for ours back home! Really nice hardwood floors, electric fireplace and internet made the stay warm & cozy. We loved the weather, local hikes & restaurants too! Pizza Factory & Yaks are must eats. We will definitely be making this our annual anniversary spot. ❤️

3 nights at Trinity River FlyCamp

This is a great place to get away and relax and enjoy nature.

Weekend Trip to Trinity River FlyCamp

This property is Amazing! If you are in the lewiston area and are looking for a campsite on the water either for fishing or a river day this is the spot for you! Michael (the host) is super fast to respond. He made our trip, and gave great insight to the area and all that it holds. The property is rustic and beautifully natural. Michael’s plans for the property in years to come are surely to make this place a one of a kind experience. My wife and I highly recommend and we had a wonderful time connecting with Michael and the land. Thank you Michael!

1 night at Cave Springs Resort

What an ideal tiny house! Cedar was equipped with all the basics, plus great furnishings. The bed was cozy and the cabin was *spotlessly* clean. If you need a spot to stay while traveling on I-5 (and do not want you and all your stuff to smell like Febreeze), skip the hotel and stay here. Loved it.

3 nights at Trinity River FlyCamp

Mike is a great host, camp is great, very quiet, great location.

Sacred healing mineral spring "Deadshot" named by the native peoples for its ability to cure all ailments with 'one shot'.

This historic retreat rests at the foot of lower Chanchelulla 'black rock' Mountain. Bordering a Wilderness Area this land is pristine and wild inhabited by many animals and incredible bio-diversity such as Pileated Woodpeckers, Golden Eagle, Bald Eagle, Blackhawk, Goshawk, Great Horned Owl, Flying Squirrel, Pacific King Snake, Salamanders and Protected Spawning Rainbow Trout. 100+ acres with private hiking trails along the stream for easy trekking, and summit trails (climbing up to almost 6,000 ft.) to the peak.

Big Bend's annual Trout Derby is back!! Starting April 26, so get here early so you'll be ready for the big events! Our 120 remote acres are adjacent to Shasta Trinity National Forest in the beautiful Cascade Range between Mt. Lassen and Mt. Shasta in Northern California. 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). DO NOT TAKE ROAD 11 FROM THE NORTH, IT IS CLOSED! PIease try to ignore the "car art" in the Pit River Tribe's Rancheria as you're coming here. Drive right through it, it's no reflection on us. 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.

Alpen Vineyard Hideaway

Alpen Cellars is a family venture in which each of us take part in the long painstaking process of wine production. From pruning to harvest, crush to fermentation and bottling, we strive for fine wine and a connection to our customers.
