Excited to share our lovely home located near the mountains and lakes of far Northern California. Enjoy a range of outdoor activities as well as easy access to our local food, music, and theater scene.
Our home is located in a quiet neighborhood with a beautiful pool and hot tub overlooking the mountains and Central Valley. It includes a master bedroom with amazing views and two guest bedrooms and an open kitchen and living area. Mount Lassen (https://www.nps.gov/lavo/index.htm) is just east of us and has amazing camping while Mount Shasta (https://mtshastaca.gov/) is just to the north. If you enjoy water sports, we are just a 15 minute drive from Whiskeytown Lake (https://www.nps.gov/whis/index.htm), a crystal clear lake with beautiful beaches, kayaking, and boat rentals. Lake Shasta (https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/stnf/recarea/?recid=6420) is just north with miles of stunning shoreline and houseboat rentals. Redding, an active community, has miles of biking, walking, and hiking trails, the beautiful Sundial Bridge (https://www.turtlebay.org/sundial-bridge), Turtle Bay Exploration Park (fun for kids https://www.turtlebay.org/), and a historic downtown walking district with local breweries, wine shops, live music, and amazing food and art.

About Our Family
We are an active couple with deep ties to our community. I am a college professor and Jerrod is the City of Redding fire chief. We’ve done a number of exchanges and enjoy exploring new places.
Lifestyle
We both returned to Redding because of our love for the outdoors. We love backpacking in the nearby Trinity Alps, hiking in Mount Lassen, and paddle boarding at Whiskeytown Lake in the summers.

ES1010456Muy buena relación con la familia de intercambio. La casa superó las expectativas (nos dejaron dos casas y el coche) y nos pasó contactos de sus familiares y amigos, siendo todos un encanto y ofreciendo ayuda en todo momento. Seguimos manteniendo contacto con ellos y esperamos poder vernos el año que viene.

GBSE004978We had a great stay in Heather’s house in Redding. She was very easy to communicate with and everything was as expected. There is lots to do in the area if you like the outdoors and her new listing has the advantage of a swimming pool.
