House on a lake… Enjoy hiking and more in a beautiful location!

Introduction

My husband Mark and I are semi-retired from air traffic control (Mark) and social justice, antiracism work (me) in the Bay Area. We recently sold our Oakland home of 20 years and moved to this beautiful area 4.5 hours north of the SF Bay Area. We lovingly steward one small dog (who is with us on most trips) at our lovely home on the lake. We love outdoor activities and engaging in meaningful community activities. Our home offers a quiet, peaceful place to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

Home & location

“Located 270 miles north of San Francisco in beautiful Siskiyou County, Lake Shastina is a thriving community with its own fully staffed water, sewer and police departments, and a volunteer fire department. Its panoramic beauty is home to many varieties of wildlife, flora and fauna. Dominating the landscape is the friendly giant, majestic Mt. Shasta (summit elevation 14,162'). Covered in snow year round, it provides quiet respite from a hectic life. Lake Shastina provides a heavenly place to ski, hike, camp, fish and golf while also offering a place for peaceful reflection.”

Responsibilities

For most stays the care will be primarily for our cat, Smittens, who likes to be outdoors. There is dry food and water available at all times. There are two litter boxes that need to be emptied daily. We take shoes off upstairs on carpeted floors. Trash day is Wednesday. We have a steep driveway and if you don’t create a lot of trash then it may not be necessary to put out the trash bin. We are energy conscious, and we’ll leave instructions on the best way to maintain a comfortable temperature. You are welcome to consume any perishable food and use most of the basic food staples. There are plants indoors and on the porch outside. Indoor plants watering needed ever 3-5 days. Outdoor plants once a day in the morning (okay to skip a day). No smokers please! I am sensitive to any lingering smell of cigarette and marijuana smell, so if you smoke regularly, please do not apply.
