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.

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.

John and Sandy are the BEST Hosts. They treated us like a family and provided us with what we needed. We are very impressed with the place. They have a fantastic garden, the kitchen is equipped and best location. The place is beautiful, clean and organized. Thank you John and Sandy. We appreciate both of your kindness, generosity, and caring. Both of you are awesome!

Perfect mountain retreat

Thank you so much to John and his wife for creating such a comfortable and lovely place to stay! Everything was so clean, well thought out and enjoyable. We cooked a few nice meals in the well stocked kitchen, enjoyed some DVDs during the rain and generally were able to relax! We found wonderful sledding at Bunny Flats for our children! Highly recommend this sweet cottage.

The warmth and kindness of our hosts, the beautiful layout and landscape of the property, and the well appointed guest quarters made our stay at the Dragon’s Lair feel like home. The Lair provides privacy and a sense of inclusion both; we felt welcomed and cared for. Thank you John and Sandy! We’ll be back again.
