Jan 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Dunsmuir House Spent two days with family. Spacious. Clean. 4 bedrooms. Great kitchen. Worked great for us. Heating upstairs involves an electric space heater which works well. Downstairs involves some kind of natural gas fired heater in living room and not central heating. Needed to increase the temp to 72 from where it was set (68) in order to make sure the bedrooms at other end of floor were not cold. ##### Joshua N. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christine S. Jul 31, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing and quiet. Other than the train, this place was peaceful and quiet. The train goes by a few times a day and night. I loved it. I grew up close to a train track and it was nostalgic for me. For the rest of my group they didn’t love it or hate it. There was lots of room for everyone. We enjoyed the porch and jacuzzi. There were plenty of amenities. There are lots of good restaurant near by. The lake was about 40 minutes away, but I think the town of Dunsmuir is preferable to further downhill. It’s a lot cooler. Looking forward to returning next summer. ##### Christine S. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### christopher p. Jul 16, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication #### Bring Your Ear Plugs Main reason for the 3 stars was the noise. We stayed on a Friday and Saturday night and each night the train whistles woke everyone up at least 3 times during the night. The second night we all had earbuds so we fared better. It is not a true 4 bedroom as one of the bedrooms has no closet. And another is extremely tiny barely fitting a double bed. Some other factors. Property was a bit dilapidated. Neighborhood as well. Lotta poison oak on the path down to the river. Hot tub was super nice. Excellent that it is dog friendly. It was super hot in the bedrooms despite the portable ac units attached to the windows. Spot is convenient to make trips to Castle and Siskiyou Lake. I would not recommend. ##### christopher p. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jan T.
