About this property

Dragon's Lair / Garden Loft, Very Private, Cov. Gar. 1 BR. 1 BA. 1 Mi to MS.

  • The Dragon's Lair/ Garden Loft is one of the most popular vacation rentals for 1-4 persons In the Mt. Shasta area. Privacy and solitude are the best descriptors for this space. All windows on the north side overlook the manicured garden.

    What we can offer our guests in close proximity to the town of Mt. Shasta and a very private, quiet setting. We are about .9 miles to town but live in the forest. Guests have killer views out of each window and a private deck for relaxation.

    The loft has about 800 sq. ft. and the living room, dining room, bedroom, and kitchen are all open with no walls between them. Guests have their own private carport to keep from the snow and sun.

    There is a full kitchen with all conveniences except a dishwasher.

    There is a queen-size bed and a high-quality pull-out sofa bed. Our space can accommodate 4 people.

    We are pet-dander free and this is the reason we do not allow pets. Read our reviews and you will be convinced that the Garden Loft is the place for you.

    We have two pairs of snowshoes and snow sleds for guests to borrow.

Dragon’s Lair was a magical garden retreat. The little house has lovely furnishings, creating a place to relax, cook and watch the stars. John and Sandy are excellent hosts and have lots of information about things to do in the area. I recommend it to anybody who wants to enjoy the beauty of Mt.Shasta.

The hosts were so welcoming. They made both our stay and how we explored the area great! The place was perfect for our family of three…close to things but out of the way enough to feel the nature vibe from the house. The hosts clearly have set up the same with love and care.

Host was very welcoming, provided all the suggestions for places to visit. Amenities were adequate. The place was cozy and we enjoyed watching birds at the bird feeder in the backyard during bad weather. It was great to experience the 1st snow during our stay. Totally a joyful stay. Thanks!

Relaxing

What an awesome place to unwind and relax. You can just stare at the mountain or enjoy the beautiful gardens. Very close to downtown but feels like you are at your own mountain retreat. Everything you could ask for in a place to stay.

Beautiful, quiet property and fantastic Hosts :)

My family of 4 had a great time at this property! There's room for the kids to run around outside, and many thoughtful accommodations inside and out. John and Sandy have created maps and guides to help guests make the most of their time in the area, and John's amazing craftsmanship can be observed throughout the property. We are truly grateful for the opportunity to stay here and we'll be jumping at the chance to stay here again in the future.

Lovely stay

The one bedroom cottage was lovely with Mt Shasta view and beautiful flower garden. Owner John and Sandy was very easy going. The place has everything we need. It is tucked away in a private street in the serene woods, yet walking distance to downtown. We will definitely recommend it to anyone!

Lovely Stay

My friend and I recently stayed 3 nights in this lovely studio. The location is really central to all activities. The setting is fabulous - quiet, private, surrounded by nature. And if you’re a gardener, the owners share their gorgeous garden, all of it created by John. They have made every effort to keep scents out of the place, much appreciated by those of us with allergies and sensitivities. The bed was really comfortable and warm. I would definitely stay there again.

We really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful grounds. Fully stocked kitchen, fast Wi-Fi, and great communication with the hosts. They were very accommodating. We arrived with a decent amount of snow on the ground after a storm. Driveway was plowed nicely and it was easy to arrive even late in the evening. My son enjoyed some sledding and a zip line on the property. We wished we stayed longer and will be returning!

Simply Amazing!

This was our first visit to Mount Shasta and we couldn’t have chosen a better location and hosts. John and Sandy were simply amazing and were only outdone by the beauty of their property and gardens! Our kids loved staying in the apartment and were thrilled when John told them about the ‘hobbit hut’. We plan to stay here each time we visit Mt Shasta and recommend that you not miss this gem by the mountain! Thanks again to our amazing hosts :) The Carriere Family

Fabulous hosts & Wonderful place

This is a beautiful place tucked into a quiet pocket and low key neighborhood. The place has a great view of the mountain and the setting has a beautiful sanctuary feel to it. You are close enough to town that travel is very easy, yet you feel very close to nature and the wilderness. The loft is very spacious and comfy, I did not want to leave. You will love this place, especially with the extra touches that John and Sandy have added to their gardens and property. They are so welcoming and sweet you will feel that you have known them for years. One of the best places I have stayed, I will be coming back as often as possible in the future!

Magical

Our stay at the dragons lair exceeded our expectations immensely! The host’s were very communicative and it was an absolute pleasure to meet them: The place itself was extremely beautiful and clean with lots of storage space and a beautiful garden that is very loved and tended to on a daily basis. I loved how the place wasn’t attached to the host’s house so that we didn’t have to worry about being to loud after a certain time. We felt like we entered a healing portal of love and synchronicities as soon as we entered the property. 10/10 recommend to anyone who is seeking a safe space to explore and heal their inner worlds while taking in the beautiful mysteries that Mount Shasta offers along with being very close to the actual mountain. Thank you so much John and Sandy we will definitely be back 🙏😇

Beautiful property inside and outside, wonderful owners

The unit is a whole second floor over the owner's craft shop (their house is next door) and has its own covered carport. Inside it is like a giant loft apartment, with a full kitchen (lots of appliances, full-sized frig),and lots of closet space, washer and dryer (!!!). Table to seat four, Dish TV, big couch and reclining chair, games in a cabinet, huge bookshelf full of books, comfortable bed that looks out on garden. Lots of places to charge your devices. Gorgeous garden of owner. Bathroom does not have a tub but has a huge shower stall. I imagine this is a hygiene concern so appreciate why. But my achy bones would have liked a soak after hikes! The place is very tastefully decorated and has a heat pump AC that does the job and is almost soundless. It is very quiet and secluded in a wooded area inside the city limits of Mt. Shasta, just a mile from stores, but so wooded you could pretend you are in the outskirts. Overall, just a gorgeous place. I almost don't want to tell you, lest you compete for my stay another time!
