This little hidden gem of a place nestled on the other side of the highway from the big bustling 2 block long town of McCloud is a quiet oasis of simplicity. Clean, classic, quaint, with everything you need to rest up from a strenuous day of hiking/biking/skiing or just a stop off the road. The kitchen is equipped with a refrigerator, stove, microwave and coffee pot. there are dishes in the cabinets. These used to be fulltime live in apartments so they're not your typical motel room. Steve, the owner is very friendly and accommodating. The town of McCloud was build by the McCloud Mill family for the loggers and sawmill workers who would come to work from spring through fall each year milling trees. Once that industry died out the town has survived through other means such as tourism. McCloud in particular is known for putting on some fantastic festivals through their active Chamber of Commerce and other organizations. Their annual Mushroom Festival brings in over 60,000 people from all over California, Oregon, Washington, and Nevada for the weekend. It offers a variety of Music, Food, Wine, a mushroom farmers market, a series of educational Mushroom classes by professional mycologists from all over the world. And a Crafters/Art market featuring unique, one of a kind and stunning works of art. At the base of Mt. Shasta, McCloud is 3.5 miles from the town of Mt. Shasta. McCloud Falls is 11 miles away, don't miss those. Medicine Lake is a sacred place nearby and also a good place to fish. Check out the McCloud Chamber of Commerce for updated events. read more
