The taste of the interior of the house is great, too. Thank you very much." --Yoshie & Koji Okazaki, Carmel, CA


"Thank you for opening your home to us. Everything was just as we had hoped for. The views were lovely, home was beautiful, and the wild life was an added pleasure. I would give this a 5 star rating and recommend this home to my friends." --The Salas Family, Merced, CA

"Thank you for sharing your inviting home. Everything within speaks of your warmth and caring attention to detail. We appreciate all that care. The views are amazing. The air here is clean. We rediscovered the Milky Way. We met a family of deer. All these delights were here and enjoyed from your mountain retreat." -- Gayle and David Goetz, Louisville, KY


"You've created a wonderfully serene home and we truly enjoyed every minute! And yes, we saw the resident family of deer at dusk. Thank you for sharing your special mountain home with us!" -- Chuck and Linda Walker, Irvine, California


"We had a lovely time and the kids really enjoyed the snow! It was great just to be able to watch them tromp around the yard, make snowmen and throw snowballs. The house was lovely and quite comfortable for all of our needs. We were also fortunate the the weather was great and stayed right about 40 degrees during our stay. Thank you again!" -- The Heinrich Family, Eugene OR


"Thank you for sharing your comfortable home with us. We enjoyed the kitchen and having a king-sized bed....The town of Mt. Shasta is very quaint, perfectly set into all the beautiful landscape. It was a great place to visit and we hope to come back in the summer to enjoy the trails and lakes! P. S. Our toddlers loved the sound of the "choo" (the train). It added some memories to our experience." -- The Karroums, Eureka, CA, The Azingers, Arcata, CA and Jax the Dog


"We had a wonderful stay. Your house is lovely and is in a beautiful setting." -- The Toubs, Santa Rosa, CA

"Thank you for letting four old men enjoy your lovely retreat. We really enjoyed Mt. Shasta Resort Golf Course....We enjoyed fishing at Siskiyou Lake and Castle Lake. Looking forward to our golf outing at Mt. Shastina Golf Course. Thanks again for truly fine accomodations." -- Jim Mason and Friends
 

We had a wonderful family vacation in Mt. Shasta City and we all loved the beautiful, immaculate and very comfortable vacation home. We had lots of fun fishing, hiking to the McCloud waterfalls and hiking around Castle Lake, hiking up on Mt. Shasta, and swimming at Lake Siskiyou. The boys loved the fishing decor, and the deer and chipmunks that approached the dining room window. The home is a very relaxing place from which to venture out on daily adventures.   --The Brennan Family, Salinas, California

 

We have loved staying here at your peaceful, comfortable home.  Thank you so much for sharing it with us.  The pure air, the scenery from each window, the "happy vibe" of your home will stay with us as we travel back to the Bay Area.  We love the magic of Mt. Shasta, Castle Lake, the McCloud Falls....it's all very special. And of course, the romantic sound of the train!  Oh -- and thanks for all of your great recommendations!  And Sophie (our yellow lab) loved watching the deer from the windows -- what a treat!  Thank you again for sharing your home with us.   --The Ortmanns, Petaluma, CA

 

Weather was fantastic – sunny everyday, nearly 70°!!  Hiked Mt. Shasta and visited Castle Lake with twin three-year old boys.  Granddad and Auntie Trish from Hampshire England made the stay unforgettable. 

 

The House of Bass and Lilies was perfect for us all.  Thanks soooo much! -- The Brockways, Concord, CA

 

Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us.  We had a lovely white Christmas here.  The kids counted 31+/- fish in the house!  Kept them busy!   -- The Peterson Family, Santa Barbara, CA

 

Thank for sharing your beautiful home with us.  We had a wonderful time building a snowman and enjoying the beautiful scenery!  The two boys had a good time.   --  The Holdsworth Family,  Redondo Beach, CA

 

What a lovely place you have!  It really takes an open heart to share and trust and we revere all in gratitude to enjoy all the comforts of home here in yours.  We love being visited by the deer, blue jays and lizards.  Thank you so much for adding warmth and beauty to the House of Bass and Lilies -- it really is lovely!  I know we'll be back!

Jeannette and Walt, Montana

 

Your home is more comfortable than a rental house! It feels like a second home for us.  We really enjoyed the Mount Shasta area with hiking, deer, etc.  Your house is beautiful and our girls loved it.  We will surely come back!

Stephan, Virginie, Kelly & Gabrilla, San Jose, CA

 

I really wanted to thank you both for making our stay quiet, cozy and welcome to everyone in the house.  We felt as if we were in our own home but in pure nature -- heaven!  The location was wonderful and always close to the hikes we went to.  The mornings started out cool and slightly warm which gave us a head start on many hikes.  We were lucky to see deer in the front yard and to see a large thunder and shower storm.  We rented a boat on Lake Siskiyou and enjoyed the beautiful waters.  Ou dogs loved your house better than ours.  They played and ran around your house for many hours everyday.  The views of the Eddys were great and had just received new patches of snow, on Mount Shasta as well.  Black Butte had a wonderful view from the backyard.  We could also locate the House of Bass and Lilies easily from the summit of Black Butte.  It was a pleasant stay!!  We hope we can stay again soon!

The Calhouns, San Francisco, CA

 

Thank you for letting us stay in the house.  My brother and I had so much fun in Lake Siskiyou.  We hiked a lot.  I was exhausted.  I like going to Burney Falls.  It was so much fun.  We saw a momma and a baby deer.  Thanks so much!

Alyssa, age 8, Long Beach, CA

 

Your cabin was great and we enjoyed the amenities, especially the many lazy chairs for reading and watching TV with style.  First time we did not have to negotiate who got to sit in them on the rainy day.  We hiked at Bunny Flats and had the time of our lives watching the dogs play in the snow with Mount Shasta towering majestically in the background.  What a beautiful corner of California!

Sabine Blaesi, Santa Cruz, CA
