Hotels & Accommodation near McCloud Falls - Upper Fall

3 words: Charming, historical, peaceful. My family enjoyed a meandering road trip this summer, crisscrossing the state to visit caves, redwoods, state/national parks, waterfalls, and anything that Huell Howser would stop for. MCCloud was a great stop after Lassen, before we headed up to Lava Beds National Monument. Picture two adults and their preteen daughter who love architecture, history, and food. We stayed in Room 2, Switvhboard Room, which had plenty of space for us and had 2 beds. Our daughter took the queen, which was closer to the bathroom and gave her a little privacy. Cozy but spacious at the same time. Everything was clean and well-maintained. Easy and safe parking, though we were cautious about bears! We entered the building with a door code and met the wonderful innkeeper on staff, Seth. Apparently he was covering for a very popular owner but he handled it fantastically. After logistics and basics he gave us a historical tour of the building including the vault and a peek at the 2nd Bank of America branch, which are under the same roof! Wow! This place is a gem and I haven’t mentioned how quiet it is, and can we talk about the food now? Two picky eaters and a voracious dad were delighted with breakfast. Fresh berries, French toast, bacon and eggs, hot chocolate, coffee, and they offered seconds (which we didn’t eat but appreciated the hospitality). We met guests who are regulars, it’s easy to see why they keep coming back. We’ll be back to ride the rail bike!

Loved our stay, the room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The location was central to Shasta/Burney and gave the feel of old world charm. The only reason to give 4 star was that it would be great if there were light filtering drapes, the blind was letting too much light in making it hard to sleep after 6am, that's how I like 'dark' but rest of the stay was lovely.

Great location, walk to coffee and restaurants, huge room, clean and comfortable, great view of Shasta from the courtyard
