City of Dunsmuir Permit # 2026-0012 We're happy you're considering our home. Please note - we do not consider ourselves to be in the "hotel," or, "motel" category. Instead we welcome you into our private home and the community of Dunsmuir as personal guests of our family. We ask that you please respect our home as you enjoy your stay. In exchange, we will do everything we can to make sure you are as comfortable as we would make any of our family and friends. NOTE: Maximum rental occupancy is 4 guests. This fabulous property sits right on the Sacramento River. Whether you want to dine outside on the outdoor table overlooking the river, or just relax and watch it run, the options are endless. The house is 2 bedroom 1-1/2 bath. Whether you are looking for your own stretch of Blue Ribbon trout river waters, or a romantic getaway for 2, or a place for your family get-together or group skiing adventure, this is truly a magical place to renew your spirit! The space This unique property is literally on the river. Fish from your pavilion, or soak your feet - but best of all just enjoy! There is a smart TV and internet - NetFlix and YouTube TV are provided. There is a large selection of DVD's for your use. Please keep in mind we do live in the mountains, cell service and internet can be patchy and slow at times. You may have to stand in a corner with one arm in the air and head tilted to the right to get that bar on your phone - or better yet leave it at the door and get away from it all! (If you use Verizon, we provide a signal extender and Wi-Fi calling which helps a lot in the house.) Please be aware that we have landscapers on the property every Wednesday for 2 hours. We do this so the property is kept as beautiful as possible for all guests. They are very discreet and only work outdoors. Please note: a maximum of 6 guests are allowed. (Please understand this is a cozy space and with one bathroom, these limits help make it comfortable for everyone.) The owners live in the area, but are not adjacent to the property. Also note: we do not provide propane gas for the outdoor bbq. There is a 5-gallon propane tank in the gas firepit - you can take it to Dollar General and swap it for a full one for $20\. (A full tank will provide from 6-10 hours of fire, depending on how high you set the flame.) If this home is booked, be sure to check out our other riverfront home, only a few hundred feet down the river- search Air-BNB for "Caddis Shack." Guest access The entire home except one small storage area in the house, and a few storage rooms in the detached building , which are reserved for the owners and locked. Other things to note This cottage sits on one of the most beautiful and productive fisheries in the world. The Upper Sacramento is world-renowned for its population of trophy rainbow trout. Fish right on the property, or explore the area - several guide services are nearby to help maximize your angling experience. NOTE: The river is not deep, but is very cold and can run swift - footing can be slippery. We advise you do not enter the river without proper fishing and safety gear. In addition to being on the river's edge, the railroad also runs nearby and this can be loud at times, even at night. The town is steeped in railroad history, and this only adds to the charm. A 5 minute walk will take you to the Amtrak Station where you can find a small railroad museum. You are also a 5 -10 minute walk to several wonderful eateries, and coffee shops. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Firepit - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Safe ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - Near a hospital - On a river - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Ice skating nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rafting nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Sledding nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Swimming nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 850 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/79000000/78450000/78449800/78449724/aeb05e09.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Dunsmuir Adventure House \~ Spacious family getaway Dunsmuir - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Free Wi-Fi 10 Exceptional 22 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-24&endDate=2026-02-25&selected=78449724&PinnedHotelID=78449724&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101310000/101300300/101300240/f1adc893.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Modern Cabin (Redwood) Dunsmuir - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Air-conditioning £375 includes taxes & fees 11 Feb - 12 Feb [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-11&endDate=2026-02-12&selected=101300240&PinnedHotelID=101300240&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![4 bedrooms, desk, iron/ironing board, travel cot](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/72000000/71550000/71547000/71546929/06137998.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 4 Elements House: Views!.Walk2Town.PetsOK.NOCleanFEE!

The cabin stayed nice and warm. It was homey and well-stocked. Nice and easy scenic walk into town. Wished we could have stayed longer. ##### nicole k. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cindy M., Reno, NV 14 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Big dose of nature The indoor/outdoor room was great for being by the river when it is too cold to actually be on the shore. There were several waterfalls and nature hikes near by. House had everything you need to have an enjoyable stay. Owner's were very prompt with their responses to our questions. You can tell they care that their guests enjoy their stay. ##### Cindy M. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deborah M. 21 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful getaway It was beautiful and has the tranquility that we needed.. We will definitely be back. ##### Deborah M. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chandan M., Sacramento 6 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing Getaway River, fire pit, live train tracks, rustic outhouse and a fully stocked main house. That should set expectations for a relaxing weekend… and the Butterfly Ranch delivered. This was a picturesque setting and we thoroughly enjoyed the amenities and vistas. House had all the amenities we needed - the main gate to the house was a plus with kids playing around on the property and we kept it locked - so that was plus. Dunsmuir is a small town - its close to Mt Shasta for buying supplies, food etc. Mossbrae falls is closby and makes for a fun trek. ##### Chandan M. Stayed 2 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aaron L. 30 Dec 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Awesome stay! We loved our stay at the butterfly ranch! We are from Louisiana and were able to give our kids and parents the best white Christmas we could have asked for. House was super cozy and had everything we could have needed. Love the fact that the kids could play outside in the snow and we didnt have to worry about them outside alone (they are 8 & 9). Left a huge snowman for the next guests! :) ##### Aaron L. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2021 ---
