McCloud Hotel

My husband and I stayed at this hotel over a three day weekend and loved every minute of it! We arrived on Saturday afternoon and were greeted by one of the owners who checked us in and let us know a little about the hotel and town. After getting settled in, we went back to the lobby and had a complimentary glass of wine, with cheese, crackers, and grapes by the fire. It was quiet, but in a relaxing way.
We had a reservation for the restaurant that night and had the trout and pot roast — Amazing! We were just blown away by the food there! We had a reservation somewhere else on Sunday night, but managed change it to the Sage Restaurant because they had a cancellation. Sunday night we ate the creamy tomato soup with a grilled cheese sandwich and the pot pie. Again, just blown away by the food!
The breakfast spread was really good too. Homemade gluten free granola, cinnamon breakfast cake, yogurt, fruit, plus about 6 options for your made to order meal! A fabulous way to start the day! Plus they had a great hot tea selection.
We had a corner room on the top floor. I didn’t notice much noise, just a baby a couple doors down once or twice. The shower was great and the complimentary toiletries smelled fabulous. Our room was very spacious and clean. There was no tv and no clocks in the room, but it actually made it a nice way to really slow down. There are books and magazines in the lobby and magazines in the hallways and room. There is also a tv room downstairs, but the weather was so nice for outdoor activities, I don’t think I noticed anyone use it the entire weekend. There was also a community microwave and mini-​fridge that we used to keep our leftovers in with no problems.
The town was quaint and cozy with a beautiful view of Mt. Shasta. The town of Mt. Shasta is only about 15 minutes away, so if you can’t find it in McCloud, you should be able to find it there. We were able to hike the McCloud River and check out the lower, middle, and upper falls — definitely a worthwhile hike!
We would highly recommend this hotel (B&B) and restaurant to anyone interested in a beautiful getaway. We are looking forward to coming back during the warmer months.

The best place to dine in McCloud, hands down. Delicious cuisine where everything else is just burgers and pizza. Chef Shawn creates nuanced and flavorful dishes in a remote part of the North State. Apparently they are now open for dining year-​round!

Loved this hotel. Really nice country hotel with quality and class without being overdone or frilly in any way. This is a historic property that’s been in McCloud for more than 100 years, recently purchased and remodeled tastefully by new owners (a couple from California). If you are going to visit Mount Shasta, most people end up in the town of Mt Shasta, which isn’t bad at all — but McCloud is just 10 miles away, much quieter, and this the best hotel in the region. The restaurant is also very good, we ate there three nights in a row and enjoyed the interesting, high-​quality wine list.

We usually stay in a vrbo rental in Shasta when we come up to ski, but decided on a whim to come up right after New Years and everything was booked. We went farther afield, to McCloud (actually, not far at all, just 15 minutes to the mountain) and found the McCloud Hotel. We snapped up their last room. This place was fantastic! We arrived just in time for a glass of complimentary wine and some fruit and cheese by the fire. We met some wonderful people and chatted with the host by the roaring fire. The property is gorgeous and in style resembles a hotel more than a B&B. There is ample privacy if you are not the chatting type. The breakfast that is included is very hearty. It is served in their main floor restaurant and you can order off the menu. We had two dinners here and they were delicious too. The tomato soup was just right after skiing for the day. The hosts are really something special and made us feel so welcome. I would highly recommend staying here if you are in the area. We will be back!

This review is only for the restaurant, as we did not stay at the hotel. It is a very, very small dining room, so you need to make sure you make reservations, or you may not get in. The service, and servers were great. They obviously have had some training and take their job seriously, and made the dinner pleasant. The food was absolutely excellent. I had frest trout from the area, and it was perfect. The price was typical for a dinner for two with a bottle of wine, appetizer and dessert, somehere in the $ 100 range. Highly recommend, and we will definitely be back which is the best compliment you can pay any restaurant.

Attention to detail at every turn. Fabulous food, and the rooms are clean, spacious, and very comfortable. Staff is super friendly and attentive. The hotel is very picturesque; sitting in the lobby I would hear people’s first reactions as they walked in the door – always a «wow!»

Wonderful hotel with much feeling of history. The rooms with King size beds have little sitting areas. And some are very spacious. New owners this year and I think that some have been recently redone. A generous and delicious breakfast is included. Be sure to drive up to the falls, nice walking trail there too.

This place will exceed your expectations. Immaculate, charming, serene and the food is delicious. Not only a breakfast bar, but also a menu.
Evening dinners fresh and exellent selections.
It is an offbeat find you will want to return to, sooner than later.

The New Owners are doing a Fantastic Job making the Hotel better than it ever was. I have not been able to go eat again, But friends and family have and I’ve only heard Rave Reviews. These are very good people that are not only doing an excellent job with the Hotel, But are a wonderful addition to this small community. We are lucky to have them here. A couple Days at the Hotel would make a perfect gift. Sitting by the fireplace, sipping a nice glass of wine or coffee, watching it snow. What could be better?

We loved the place. Cute and quaint and full of history. Board games sprinkled around the different sitting rooms. Very friendly staff. Rooms are good sizes, clean, but be careful noise travels in this old building.
Dinner was delicious. Pot roast was one of the best meals in a while. Creamy tomato soup was also really tasty. Breakfast was OK but less impressive than dinner. Had the crustless quiche which was nothing more than scrambled eggs and leftover veggies baked in a ramequin.
Would definitely return.

Heading back home from Seattle, we choose to bypass Medford or Ashland usually our half way stopping point and try the McCloud Hotel. We found it online, and it was just what we had hoped for. It is nice to have expectations exceeded.
We prefer historical properties, and this one is a gem. The generous public rooms, lobby with fireplace, games and comfortable seating to mingle. The porches also offer seating.
The restaurant — Yum! We chose the gazebo patio dining area, lushly landscaped. The filet and chicken pot pie, well executed with simply ingredients done as we requested. The tab was so reasonable and our server was great. There is also an indoor dining room, we had breakfast there.
Our room was really large. Often historical properties means charming but teeny, not at the McCloud Hotel. Yippee, a comfy king sized bed in our room. We had a first floor room, my wife has limited mobility.
I was glad the hotel has wifi, spoiled by high speed, we just checked email and then enjoyed the evening. After traveling a couple of thousand miles on this trip… expect that connectivity in rural areas if often absent, so checking email was plenty for us. We didn’t try the lobby wifi.
The grandeur of Mount Shasta is not to be missed, mountain biking and golf. We should have planned for a longer stay. McCloud formerly a company lumber town, so the town has repurposed the other charming historical buildings. The new owners are very attentive, and McCloud Hotel could easily be part of a destination event, girls weekend, or wedding weekend? The back garden and gazebo are intimate settings. Since many things in McCloud are called McCloud, a B &B, and another hotel. We were delighted with the choice of the McCloud Hotel.
Thank you.

found the place by asking a local where to eat. its absolutely wonderful hodden jewel. patio dining only. the food was outstanding.

I read about the hotel a couple years ago. My wife and I spent a night on the way to Oregon. It couldn’t have been better. It’s as beautiful as it appears on the website. The new owners are excellent hosts. We arrived for complimentary wine and cheese in the early evening. We had dinner and the included breakfast. Both were delicious and elegantly prepared. The grounds are beautiful with many nooks to quiet places to sit. The setting is spectacular.
I guarantee we’ll be back. We’re hoping to make Thanksgiving Dinner.

This place is the definition of a hidden gem. The new owners, Cindy and Gary, could not be nicer. They were so welcoming to us and our dog, she even got treats! Dinner was delicious, as was breakfast. What a lovely place. Highly, highly recommended.

One of the best weekends away at this quaint hotel! It was a great experience. Check out the restaurant as well. The tomato bisque is amazing!

We stayed two nights in a double queen (the only one) on the second floor overlooking the back garden. Pricing was reasonable.
The room itself was very large and very comfortable. Beds were good. The bathroom had both a tub and shower (if you stay in this room watch out getting into and out of the shower which has a low entry — one head bang was enough for me). Bathroom amenities were nice.
There is no in-​room TV, which we knew.
Breakfast was excellent with a lot of choices. Portions were just right. There are some self-​serve choices to go with the ordered food.
The lobby has games to play and lots of comfortable furniture to hang out on.
Up to now, the hotel gets a 5.
Here’s why it’s a 4.
1. I was told when I called for information before I booked that there was WiFi in the rooms. However, when I checked in, I was told there might be WiFi in the room but there would be WiFi in the lobby. WiFi in our room turned out to be like 56K dial-​up. Painful at times. I like my privacy and don’t want to hang out in a lobby, especially if what I want to do is at, let’s say, Midnight. Since I was told one thing and came to find another, that’s a problem.
2. At breakfast, over two days, I overheard four guests, including a very polite little child, ask for minor substitutions in their breakfast order, e.g. one slice of bacon and one of sausage instead of two of one or the other. Each was told, rather abruptly, no. This seemed strange and was uncomfortable to over hear.
3. Housekeeping was less than stellar. Our room was not really cleaned well. We returned after a long day to find no toilet paper and had to go down and find the owner to get us some.
McCloud is a nice option to stay in as its quiet. But, there are really no restaurants (and none open on Monday or Tuesday, except Floyds Frosty which closes at 7PM). The McCloud Hotel itself serves dinner but also skips Monday and Tuesday (strange because you’d think they’d have a captive audience on those nights). You need to assume you’ll be driving 20 minutes into Dunsmuir (or Shasta) — no big deal really and Dunsmuir has Great Food.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

We just came back for our second stay at the McCloud Hotel, and it was just as good as we remembered it. The beds are comfortable, the rooms are spacious, and the hotel is beautifully kept. Best of all, they serve breakfast as a part of your stay, and I would say that I’ve had breakfast at 5 star restaurants that couldn’t even compete. I would suggest you make dinner reservations as well. The roast is so good it melts in your mouth. The McCloud also has books, board games, and tea or coffee available for your consumption in their lounge area. It”s a wonderful way to spend an evening after a hike down by the river. If you want a quiet getaway, this is definitely a good choice.

It was great. The owners and staff were very kind and helpful, the food delicious — especially those cinnamon scones and the tomato soup. The room was cozy and comfortable. Also, they arranged a fine kayaking trip on Lake McCloud. I definitely recommend it. (McCloud is convenient for kayaking as well as hiking.)

My Husbund and I had a wonderful time at the McCloud Hotel. The food was marvelous!.. The Decour and atmosphere make you feel so comfortable you feel like your home. We will definitely be staying at the hotel every time we visit McCloud.

If looking for a place to stay in McCloud or Mt. Shasta even, look no further. What a wonderful B&B. The hosts Nancy & Robert were so welcoming and warm it felt as if we were staying with a relative. The décor and rooms were very well done. The entire B&B is filled with tons of original art some local some from revered artists like Nancy’s mother who was a very talented and acclaimed artist.
The morning breakfast exceeded our expectations for any B&B we have ever been too. Fresh baked Cinnamon Scones, a large bowl with a berry medley and the homemade granola was outstanding. They offer menu items which are included in your room fee such as Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with pure Vermont syrup, Grand Marnier Challah bread French Toast, eggs any style and even a Vegan Tofu scramble!
If you happen to be there on a weekend be sure and dine with them in the evening. We ate outside in the lush garden. We enjoyed the fresh French bread and pumpkin bread! This is baked fresh each day and was just delicious! The menu offers something for everyone. Some in our party dined on Salmon, Pot Roast, Chicken Pot Pie, Roasted Vegetable Flatbread and I thoroughly enjoyed my stuffed portabello mushroom. Don’t skip the desserts, the Chocolate Pot d’Crème and fresh peach cobbler was epic.
Needless to say we really enjoyed our stay and could not think of staying anywhere else when visiting the McCloud/Mt.Shasta area again. We look forward to our next visit.
