It is spotlessly clean, neat, and tidy and has many great amenities. The sheets (so soft) and towels were white fluffy and high quality. The kitchen was perfect for morning breakfast (BEST COFFEE) and evening appetizers. We ordered an amazing Shire-charcuterie board. The second breakfast was wonderful! It was perfect fuel for a long day of hiking. We went to Whiskeytown Area and Shasta ghost town. Wonderful! Thank you for sharing, Diane & Mark

We were greeted by our gracious host when we arrived and shown to our hole. We were absolutely stunned! The hole was gorgeously decorated, fully appointed with every amenity imaginable and cozy as can be! We quickly settled in and strolled around outdoors before the sun went down, the entire area is just phenomenal! We were the only guests there so it was divinely peaceful and felt like we truly were in a little hobbit village! In the morning we were served a delicious homemade second breakfast, expertly prepared and delivered to our door! It was a completely amazing stay, can't recommend enough and will definitely be back.

Just had a lovely stay at Connie and Rick Apple's Riverhouse Bed and Breakfast…read more We stayed in the West Room which offered an en-suite bathroom with a large tub and shower, two comfortable sitting chairs, and a deck overlooking the backyard and trees beyond. The bed was very comfortable and quiet location made for a very restful night. Breakfast was basic fare but ample and tasty. Great way to get us on the road. Coffee to go was greatly appreciated too. Both Connie and Rick were welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and certainly would stay here again whether we were traveling through or staying in the area for several days.

Staying at the Apples' Riverhouse when I (we) ended up in Redding for the weekend was very much…read morelike suddenly remembering that I have casual friends in Redding, calling them up, and having them invite me to use their place as my own for the weekend. My friends would say, "Sure, stay here when you're in town. Not a problem at all. We have a guest room, and a really nice backyard. Oh, you're bringing your bicycle(s) too? That's fine; we have a garage where you can keep them safe and dry." What would probably happen next is that we'd avail ourselves of all of this hospitality: my friends would cook us eggs for breakfast, give us glasses of wine in the evening, and let us go about our business in between the breakfast and the wine. And then, not ready to say goodbye to the weekend yet, we would probably go off on a long hike and not come back to collect our bicycles until nigh dark. When we finally made it back, my friends would be worried about us and would have already called around to try to find out whether we were okay. All in all, quite nice. It's good to have old friends in Redding.

This place is under new ownership, the rooms are decorated so cute and cozy, the food is amazing!…read morewe rented the smaller room for extra guest that could not fit in our vacation house. They had a little trouble with the heating and the room was a little small. We went back for Valentine's four course meal at $18.95 per person and $5 dollar cork fee ( I only like sulfate free organic wines) And for Easter Brunch BEST CLAM CHOWDER EVER since I moved here from the east coast and trust me I have tried a lot of places. I will say the rooms are a bit pricey yet the food is amazing for the bucks! So if you need a New England clam chowder fix take a nice drive and check this guys out. Oh and their hours for dinner are only Thursday, Friday, Saturday and awesome brunch on Sunday.

We will return if life calls us back to this vicinity. Plenty of dining options within walking distance. Off street parking too. Don't second guess yourself. This is place is worth it. Much nicer than staying at a generic hotel.

I stayed here in lieu of other hotels in the area since I would be attending a wedding in Redding…read more Needless to say, Yelp did not steer me wrong again! I was so happy with my bed and breakfast experience that I definitely will trust my fellow reviewers in the future. First, Janelle was super accommodating and let me check in early because I would be attending the wedding and needed to get ready. She followed up with me on text message as to my arrival time to make sure that she would be there to greet me. When I walked in, I noticed my phone number was coded to the key pad entrance to the B&B. So cool! Janelle was there to greet me and give me an envelope with my key and instructions. I went up with her to the bedroom and needless to say, was so impressed with her style and quality that she brings to her B&B. The room seemed to be flawless in the way that she spent time picking out pictures and linens. The linens were even washed in a very nice fabric softener and didn't have that normal "hotel" smell. I was able to get the Sun Dial Room, and even though it was the most expensive, it was definitely worth every penny. There was a fresh, large bottle of water in the room with chocolates. I had free wifi and a nice flat screen TV. A jacuzzi tub. And oh, did I mention.. the best, most comfortable bed that I never wanted to leave? Top it off.. breakfast in the morning makes me giddy just thinking about it. I had french toast, a vegetable frittata, potatoes, chicken/apple sausage, fresh juice and coffee. Janelle served breakfast promptly at 8:30 and I was definitely there with bells on. Everything was served family style and while eating breakfast you are able to enjoy the company of other guests, which makes breakfast that much more entertaining. For a few bucks more, stay at this bed and breakfast. Completely avoid the Howard Johnson or other chain hotel. You will not be disappointed.

The home itself…read morewas beautiful and so well kept, and being within walking distance of the lake made everything so convenient. We loved having paddle boards, kayaks, and canoes right at the house -- made it easy to get out on the water whenever we wanted. The scenery around the property was stunning, truly some of the best views we've seen. On top of that, the service was outstanding -- you could tell they really care about making your stay special. We can't recommend this place enough for anyone looking for a relaxing, beautiful lakeside retreat. We'll definitely be back to Retreat 20!

The Inn at Shasta Lake was a quaint bed and breakfast located about 20 minutes outside of Redding…read more It was quiet and peaceful here. They allow pets in certain rooms which is nice if you're traveling with dogs! I enjoyed how communicative the staff were. If you needed something, you can text a number and they were on it! They advertise that you may not have service here, but we had service and they also had wifi. They had great views outside on the deck. The grounds were nicely maintained. It was very easy to get here and right off highway 5. On the other hand, being a bed and breakfast I was expecting breakfast to be a bit better tasting. Breakfast is included in your stay. They provide fruit, yogurt, granola, juice, coffee, and toast. You get to also choose one main entree served with a side of potatoes. The main entree rotates so it's different daily. Overall breakfast could definitely be improved taste wise, but it's very convenient and nice of them to do this. Another downfall was the temperature in the main lobby/ dining area. They ran it hot in there and if you needed to get ice (they don't have ice machines, so they provide buckets of ice) it was all melted. This happened twice. Minor complaints!

We booked this hotel based on it's location to the Shasta Caverns…read more Check-in was fairly simple and contactless. They send you the directions and room access code so you can go directly to your room. The layout is like a big house with a coming hallway in the center to access the dining and sitting area. But you can also access your room from the outside of the building, which was so much easier. We stayed in the HUMMINGBIRD. The layout is a little peculiar but we wanted a king bed and this was the only room available last minute. There are two big, floor to ceiling French doors on each side of the room that looked out into the courtyard. Although the view was beautiful, it was like you were on display to anyone walking from their car to their room, so we kept the curtains closed for privacy. The room had a king bed with very nice sheets and comfortable pillows. A fireplace with a TV in the center of the room. There was a table set up for 4 and a wet bar, with microwave and small refrigerator in the center of the room in front of the fireplace and TV. A sofa and two sitting chairs were at the opposite side of the long rectangular room. Again just a peculiar setup. We did a little room rearranging while we were there so we could enjoy the fireplace while laying in bed. The bathroom was amazing and included a large jacuzzi tub and huge walk-in shower. The staff was very polite and provided very thorough room and area information, including local attractions and recommended restaurants in the area. At night you fill out a breakfast menu and in the morning they bring you your breakfast in a basket. The presentation is amazing! Menu items changed daily. They also provided 24/7 coffee and tea in the lobby. The price for the room was fair and everything was super clean! We really did enjoy our stay. Definitely recommend. *Side note for the HUMMINGBIRD room. It would make more sense to have a small room modification by moving the wet bar next to the bathroom wall. Setting the bed in front of the fireplace so the TV is in front of the bed and not off to the side. OR.. have the sofa in front of the TV and fireplace. I know it's a weird shaped room, but my personal opinion is that it can be set up different to have a better flow. Regardless we still enjoyed the stay but just my two cents in that.

A Stunning Gem in Red Bluff, CA…read more Hummingbird House is a beautifully renovated Victorian house just off Main Street. The house is gorgeously decorated, each space carefully designed to be a combination of luxury and function. I was so happy to find that the kitchenette is fully equipped with silverware, plates and cups. There is a Keurig-type coffee maker, microwave and small fridge with a functional freezer (too often the little refrigerators in hotels don't have a freezer). Best of all, I was happy to find an electric water kettle. I'm a tea drinker, and using the hot water from coffee makers gives the tea an annoying coffee taste. I'll be staying for several weeks, so the washer and dryer is a great convenience at no additional cost. The hosts are so welcoming and kind, without being intrusive. And they are always responsive to texts or emails. I have stayed in small inns and B&Bs all over the world, and I have never been in a nicer place! The pastries and cookies that are in the parlor are brought every day from the bakery on Main Street. Each one has been outstanding. The bakers are trained in French patisserie and the quality is amazing. This is just a reflection of the caliber of everything at Hummingbird House!
