Dunsmuir Lodge

Comfortable, unique lodging in Dunsmuir, California

How to Socially Isolate in Northern California

March 17, 2020 By Lodge

During this stressful time you can “run to the hills” to escape crowds, noise, and general freak out going on. You and your family deserve it. It is surprisingly quiet and safe here, while everyone is very aware of the sitation and taking measures to protect themselves and others. You can have fun while keeping socially distanced from those you don’t know.

Safe Hotel and Outdoor Recreation

• Our rooms are always clean and safe for travelers. That was the reason I got into this business, to make a “better” roadside motel-one that’s pleasant to stay at, not just ‘good enough’. To me as a traveler, this means clean rooms; comfortable bed, quality towels and toilet paper.
• Self Check-in: We’ll charge your card remotely and leave a sanitized key under your doormat.
• Exterior Doors: no hallways to pass by others too closely; no need to enter lobby first.
• Outdoor activities for Social Isolation: trails, views, rivers and lakes with no summer crowds (six feet-man, I don’t know you!)
• Safe Food: Local restaurants are following Beerflu-safe practices and food delivery. This service is RARE here- enjoy it while it lasts…
• Well stocked shelves: Our stores have everything you need for daily life- as long as you don’t need hand sanitizer.
• BBQ area for [spread out] family gatherings- oh wait, we all know each other.
• Free toilet paper included with room! (while supplies last; just kidding- stores here really are stocked)
• Smart TV’s and old school cable if you freak out and need to stay “home”. 
• Easy access to I5 to get home quick in case Dunsmuir goes into “lockdown” too…

Thanks To All Service Workers…

November 28, 2019 By Lodge

Winter fun begins at Dunsmuir LodgeThank you for getting up early; NOT playing with your kids or pets, NOT cooking for your family, NOT watching parades, playing video games or throwing snowballs at your little brother when he’s not looking… THANK YOU! For making sure that all the people who are taking the day off for thanksgiving have gas, food, and lodging (yep) just like the sign on the road says. Remember to thank your service workers a little extra today, they work hard on holidays so you don’t have to lift a finger. Special thanks to Manfredi’s (gas) and Mt. Shasta Resort staff for making sure I can get gas and food on holidays!  – -Eric @ the Dunsmuir Lodge

Easy Waterfall Hikes Near Dunsmuir

July 16, 2019 By Lodge

When in town, make sure to stop at Mossbrae Falls and Hedge Creek Falls…

Hedge Creek Falls: EASY, 5 min. walk down past falls (trail goes underneath the falls!) to the river overlook north, giving you the perfect post-card/instagram shot of Mt Shasta. 4 minutes drive (in town).

Mossbrae Falls: Right in town, 3/4 mile walk north on tracks. Absolutely worth the walk! Allow 35 minutes or so for hike on tracks. Watch/listen for trains, but there is ample space for most of the walk to get out of the way of trains. 3 minutes drive, plus hiking. Allow 1.5 hours for a relaxed hike and visit to the falls. It is over 100 feet wide and spans a bend in the river with a train trestle just north. Use your black and white filter in pics to make it look ‘rustic’!

This is just a small slice of what’s to do around here… Ask in the lobby for a visitors’ guide to give you the full listing of the possibilities around here. Stay a week and we will fill your schedule each day with a new adventure. Bring the kids, and teach them something about the natural world around them in one of the most beautiful and diverse natural settings in California!

AirBnB’ers Still Love A Traditional Motel:

June 28, 2019 By Lodge

AirBnB’ers Still Love A Traditional Motel:
Here’s what Nancy wrote
“The Dunsmuir Lodge is a charming place to stay – a small, old-style I chose because they are pet-friendly and was traveling with my small dog and cat. I was very pleasantly surprised by the size of room, amenities (and great shower!) plus the owners are very friendly people who really care about their guests’ experience! My critters and I were so comfortable that we are booked for our return trip home. Looking forward to enjoying their hospitality again in July!”
Nancy’s private feedback for you:
“Thanks again for being pet-friendly, and the perfect stop on the way from Portland to Pacifica! Looking forward to seeing you again in July.”

“A Great Place to Stay” in Dunsmuir.

June 19, 2019 By Lodge

Here’s our latest review on TripAdvisor…
5 ‘dot’ rating – the best.
A great place to stay!
We were driving to Oakland, CA from Seattle and wanted an overnight place to stay for the trip. We booked this place online and LOVED it. You absolutely cannot beat the price. The owners have bought a vintage motel and upgraded it. It is very clean, has a great bed with nice bedding, free wifi, and a TV. What more can you want? Since ours was just an overnight stay we picked an economy room which was perfectly fine. The owner is nice, and very helpful. The place is just South of the town of Dunsmuir on the outskirts of town so very quiet. We drove into town for a nice dinner outside at the brew pub. We highly recommend this place!”
Our Response: Thanks for your review! We’re here 24/7 since 2005 to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Don’t forget to get  some local food “to-go” and go eat at the picnic tables  by the river in the City Park. It’s a great way to cool off in the shade next to a cool flowing river in the summer!

EVConversion Dragsters Coming To A Track Near You!

May 24, 2019 By Lodge

You probably already know that Dunsmuir Lodge has Lift ticket packages and electric car charging. You might not know that EV’s are fast becoming competitors to Internal Combustion Engines in the sense of power. Well theres EV hope for “petrolheads”. Conversion companies are out there and big makers can see the writing on the wall. Make electric options.
That GM has electric drivetrain isn’t news (ev-1 fiasco). The real news is that Borg-Warner Automotive Inc provides the motors. Were talking electric “crate” motors to swap. If this is actually released it could be a game changer in the sense that it allows true “motorheads” who “need” combustion to try it out on their own vehicle, without doing a full EV conversion. Its got two of these motors linked here. https://www.borgwarner.com/technologies/electric-drive-motors/hvh-series-electric-motor
I must admit. While I love electric, theres nothing like the sound of the ls’d truck going up against it… You got exciting and sexy vs. quiet, reliable power.

Have a great day guys!
