This lodge is located in the most-accessible location to experience the best of Mount Shasta - trails surround the property, yet it is only 1-mile to downtown, whilst being secluded amidst mature forest. Directly across the street is the Gateway Peace Garden, a meditation prayer garden that is available for public use. Down the street is the Gateway Trail - Northern California's premier mountain biking trail system. At the end of the street is Mt Shasta City Park, the home to the headwaters of the Sacramento River - the best tasting water in the world! A little further up the road is Bunny Flats Trailhead - the highest parking lot on Mt Shasta accessible year-round and the starting point for hiking, sledding, climbing, backcountry skiing and snowmobiling. You will also see deer meandering around our neighborhood and in the backyard - make sure to say hi!
