The space
The main family/living room has an open design with vaulted ceilings, a gorgeous wood burning fireplace and a 75” LED Smart TV. We have Starlink WiFi and you can also access your own Netflix/Hulu/HBOMax accounts if you prefer or fall down the rabbit hole and disconnect while at Wonderland.

There are 3 bedrooms, and 1 loft (all with beds as shown in the photos -7 total) to accommodate a maximum of 13 guests. There are 2 ensuite full bathrooms and 1 common full bathroom. Downstairs there is a full bath off the kitchen - with tub/shower combo and full size washer dryer. The downstairs master has an enchanting rock shower with dual shower heads - rainwater and removable. Upstairs both bedrooms share a spacious Jack & Jill with a claw foot tub and dual shower head walk in shower.

The kitchen is fully equipped with a 4-burner electric stove, dual ovens, toaster, microwave, air fryer, dishwasher, large fridge, and all basic kitchen utensils & supplies. What would Wonderland be without a tea party! There is a fully stocked tea/coffee station with teas, cocoa, creamers, sweeteners, fresh coffee beans, amazing loose leaf teas, electric kettle, a grinder and 3 coffeemaker options to make coffee how you prefer it. We also provide pantry essentials such as salt, pepper, olive oil, cooking oil, and filtered drinking water (from the Refrigerator or using the Water pitcher.) In addition we supply basic pizza ingredients for the outside pizza oven - dough, sauce and cheese. Run to the local market to get all your favorite toppings.

And if all that's not enough, enjoy our expansive board game collection, outdoor connect four or giant jenga. Need to do a little work while on vacation or need some down time with a good book - enjoy our fulling furnished hidden library/office.

Even though you’ll have great privacy our home is located only a couple of minutes off Highway 5 . You will find a beautiful home at the end of the private road with its back to nothing but the hill and forest. Our driveway is very steep with a sharp turn so 4W/AWD drive is recommend - especially in Winter. (We have video on our YouTube if you'd like to see it) If you plan to bring boat we recommend renting a slip at Antlers Resort & Marina (about 15 minutes away) We do have one parking spot set marked with cones to the right of our driveway entrance. There is a local grocery store, a gas station and a few amazing restaurants nearby so you could easily spend time at the house without needing to go very far. You can also order Instacart if needed. But for those who choose to venture out it also serves as a great base to explore nearby gems like Shasta Caverns, Mt Shasta, Lassen National Park, Burney Falls, Dunsmuir and so many other incredible sights.

Whether you're planning to play in the lake, hike a volcano, ski the mountains, fish in a world-class river or simply need some nature therapy, we can't wait to host you.
Guest access
The cabin is located at the end of private road with sufficient parking (outdoors) for at least 3-4 cars. The drive way is steep so please do go up it at a moderate speed. We recommend 4WD or AWD during the winter. Wonderland is built into the side of the mountain surrounded by forest. There is a beautiful lit path up to an outdoor bed - feel free to explore the path but be careful there are steep areas that drop off to the creek. Children and pets should not be unsupervised.

Guests do not have access to the shop or the storage sheds outside - there is no garage. Otherwise, guests have full access to the house and the yard as well as the open parking spaces outside the house.

Tesla owners can stay charged with our mounted Mobile Connector. Using the standard outlet which can be accessed from the driveway, you can recharge up to 5 miles of range per hour with the NEMA 5-15 Adapter.
