Best Western Plus Tree House in Mount Shasta, California

This last Christmas season, we had occasion to stay at our favorite hotel, the Best Western Plus Tree House in Mount Shasta, California. We discovered the Best Western Plus Tree House several years ago while on the road heading back north after one of our many trips to Reno, Nevada.

Normally we would have stopped in Redding; but we wanted to get some more miles in before retiring for the night. So we took the exit to Mount Shasta City and found the Tree House. We had a great time there and were glad that there was a supermarket and also a Round Table Pizza place within walking distance.

Anyway, we have stayed there as often as it is convenient on our trips to Reno and Southern California. This last time we had a special treat. A friend of ours had come along on this trip, so we needed some more space and beds. Best Western Plus Tree House staff took great care of us by putting us in the "Cedar Sweet" up on the third floor. There we enjoyed a view of the majestic Mount Shasta, along with the rest of the old volcanoes and mountains around there. The spacious suite featured the usual beautiful wood construction, premium quality beds, a nice big TV and even a "white noise" maker on the bedside clock.

That night we had a nice dip in the indoor heated pool and also the hot tub. We enjoyed dinner in our room, having picked up some pizza and some other fixins at the nearby supermarket. In the morning we made it a point to get up early in order to enjoy the hot buffet breakfast in the restaurant downstairs.

The Best Western Plus Tree House is a fantastic place to stay if you’re taking a road trip through Northern California on Interstate 5. I would also strongly recommend it for anyone on a "honeymoon" or other special occasion.

I’m a fan of Tesla Automobiles, though I don’t own one. So it was nice to see that they had just installed four Tesla charging stations out in the parking lot by the check-in drive.
