Overview

Enjoy the holidays with a River vacation. Cottage is perfect for a romantic getaway, a fisherman's retreat or a relaxing rest stop on an I-5 journey in Anderson. 2-4 guests can enjoy nature, swim, or share our hot tub. Our 1 acre estate is at 4261 Story Ln!  Need more room? Book the luxury house next door and make fantastic memories together. Fast wifi, TV & full kitchen means you won't rough it to enjoy great fishing. Yes, there is a desk for those who work remotely. Pet allowed with $50 fee.

This private 1BR cottage on the western edge of our property has a full kitchen and private shower and river access. There is a comfortable queen bed in the bedroom. 

We also keep a queen air mattress in the cabinet so a couple more people can sleep on the floor in the living room. The living room has a couch and love seat as well as a comfy chair. There is a table near the fridge where 2-4 people can share a meal together. The full kitchen comes with plenty of utensils to prepare a great meal. We have a full-size fridge you can fill with your favourite foods. The ice-maker works great too if you want to fill your cooler before you get back on the road

The yellow cottage uses a digital lock with a 4 digit code. You will have private use of the cottage and can park your car close, safely inside the gate. 

Outdoors is shared space. We may have other guests in the house so consider the pool and hot tub as shared amenities. Our neighbourhood quiet time is from 10pm to 7am. This includes the hot tub and pool. No late night loud activities are allowed. 

The house next door and the deck are off limits as we often host other guests so please respect their privacy as we ask them to respect yours

Feel free to call me if you have any questions or problems. Everything is set up for self check-in and self-catering. 
Our property manager can assist you with any problems you may encounter. The circuit panel is behind the flower tapestry in the entry area if you need to reset a tripped switch

We live in a quiet neighbourhood on the dead end Story Lane in Anderson. We are just off exit 670 or Riverside Drive in Anderson past the Gaia Hotel. Living near the river allows us to enjoy being close to nature. As with all neighbourhoods we do enjoy quiet time from 10 pm to 7 am

There is no public transport in our area so you will need a car. There are car rentals at the airport if you fly in to Redding. We are only 3.5 miles away from the airport

We do have a lot of wildlife so bird poo is a daily chore. The geese love to leave their deposits around the yard too. Please lower the umbrella shades when not in use to prevent wind damage. If PGE cuts the power our back up generator should start up automatically within a few seconds. Our neighbor next door has an unique collection of antique farm items and wind chimes.

This little cottage is wonderful! It was perfect for me and my dogs (who also immensely enjoyed the stay). The river is beautiful and there’s lots of birds which I loved! I inadvertently locked myself out but was right back in thanks to Rob 😊 who is very kind! The bed is wonderful! I’ll definitely stay again!

Great little place to stay for the night. The hot tube was not very hot and the door was opened when I arrived. I think the place could use some simple items such as a bottle opener and can opener. Overall it was a great experience

I had a wonderful stay. I hope to use this place as my go to when I visit the area. It was very comfortable, safe,secure and great location. The grounds are beautiful and serene. Rob and his team were very helpful and communicated quickly. They even provided flexibility for check out. Great people and great place. I Highly recommend!

TLDR: The cottage was a charming place to stay for 2 people. We'd stay there again. We found the cottage as expected and questions were promptly responded to. The living room and kitchen area was spacious and comfortable. Bedroom was clean with a comfortable queen size bed and its own air conditioner. The in-unit washer/dryer was handy. Dog friendly for us was a priority and having a gated yard was a plus. The pool and hot tub were well maintained. The large lawn made sitting down by the river very pleasant and a great place for star gazing. Restaurants, Costco, National Parks were close. This was an ideal location for our day trips. We would stay here again.

Very pretty home nestled along the Sacramento River…was able to book on a last-minute emergency road trip to Oregon, and it worked out perfectly.
