McCloud River Bed and Breakfast - McCloud, California

I try to visit McCloud at least once a year, it’s one of my very favorite places to explore. I hadn’t heard of this B&B before. It’s tucked back behind the mercantile on Main Street. It was a great experience to stay here. The rooms are large yet cozy. The owners Julie and Dan are so welcoming and the food Julie cooks is amazing. Some of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had and the dinner was also amazing. It’s a unique Inn with great amenities. I’m so happy to discover this place and highly recommend it. I will be back! ?

I cannot say enough good things about this place! My wife and I stayed here to visit a wedding in town, the owners were amazingly friendly and helpful. The breakfast they made was fantastic everyday we were there. They were super communicative about dietary needs and restrictions. Breakfast on the patio was full of hummingbirds and good conversation. Late at night we were getting ready to walk out and one of the owners stopped us and Let us know about a bear that lives in town area and goes through garbage cans, and we were able to actually see it down the street. It was super cool. If you're staying in town, stay here!

When my wife’s friend invited us to her wedding in McCloud, my first question was “where the hell is that?” After doing some research on the area, we were excited to make the 3.5 hour drive up north. However, we were concerned about our lodging arrangements because there was not a variety of options in the area. Thankfully, the bride’s father reserved a few rooms for some of the wedding guests.

Upon arrival we were both warmly greeted by owners Julie and Dan who gave us a rundown of the amenities (i.e., free beer on-tap and wine at select prices). Julie informed us that breakfast would be served at 8:30 am the next morning, which was terrifying at the moment considering that we would be up to the wee hours of the morning partying. When we entered the room, we were enamored by the cozy cabin-like vibes of the room. Our room (room #5) was in close proximity to the common area; therefore, we had close access to coffee, beer, etc.

After the wedding, we returned to the establishment a little before 11pm. We were warmly greeted by Crystal (ironically Crystal and I are birthday twins!), whom we purchased guava ciders from (a nice remedy to a possible hangover). The next morning we arrived to a common area full of friendly locals who were chatting and enjoying breakfast (which we could smell the deliciousness of from our rooms). Julie greeted us and shortly after brought out what would be a scrumptious breakfast.

Following breakfast, we joined a couple from the wedding for a nature walk of the area. If you have time, I highly recommend doing so! It’s a very calm area, with friendly residents and great views of the nearby mountains. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the McCloud River Bed and Breakfast. Our only gripe is that we were not on the property long enough to take advantage of the available amenities (i.e. live music). If you’re looking for a cozy place to stay with great customer service, I suggest checking out McCloud River Bed and Breakfast!

Absolutely the best! Will definitely stay here again...too bad there are only 5 stars. Loved reading room diaries from 20+ years. Jacuzzi tub for two was nice touch after full day of hiking. Breakfast was phenomenal! Each portion was immense...and wonderful . Blazing fire ? in wood stove created perfect ambiance. ?

This is one of the best B&Bs we've ever stayed in. The room, the food, the service... Absolutely everything surpassed our expectations. We were in room #1, which was great for 2 adults and our 2 young kids. The decoration is beautiful. It feels like going back in time. Breakfast was one of the best we've ever had in a B&B or hotel: waffles with berries and whipped cream for the kids and a berry salad for us adults + eggs with asparagus and avocado toast. We had breakfast on the deck. I've never seen so many hummingbirds! As for the staff, everyone who works there is super friendly. We had to leave early on the last morning (6 am) and Julie made sure that there was hot food for us to take with us on our road trip, even at that early hour. Also, great things to see in the area: waterfalls, lakes... We absolutely loved our stay here! Highly recommended.

We just ended our second stay at the McCloud River Bed and Breakfast. Once again, it was fantastic!! We stayed in the same room, Room 2, which has two extremely comfortable beds in it - a king and (I think) a double or queen. The room was spacious and had a lovely outlook. There was a window air conditioner, but b/c it cools down so much at night, we didn't need to turn it on, even though outside it was probably over 90 during the day.|The inn is located just off the main street in McCloud, so it's very quiet. There is a beautiful, large front lawn. The historic buildings of the town (of which the inn is one) are all within easy walking distance. There are all kinds of outdoor activities nearby - especially hiking and fishing. Don't miss the chance to visit Burney Falls, which drops over 100 feet over and through lava rocks - it reminds me of waterfalls in Hawaii. |Dan and Julie, who graciously greeted us on our first visit, were out of town. We were incredibly well taken care of by Nancy - so warm and friendly, we felt immediately at home.|Of special note is the inn's fantastic breakfast!!! Do not miss it!! In the summer, it is served outside on the deck (the tables all have umbrellas). It begins with a "first course": orange juice, coffee, fresh fruit and home-baked goodies, followed by a hearty egg dish. Yesterday, Nancy made huevos rancheros - delicious! |We really felt away from city life, in the best of all ways - it was so beautiful and relaxing there. We're very much looking forward to returning!

You should stay here if looking for a Bed and Breakfast experience. I felt so catered to in almost every respect. The home was massive and well renovated. The town is adorable. My room was very clean and decorated so nicely. Staff were very prompt about calling or emailing in advance to make sure of food allergies and restrictions while making an exquisite dinner and amazing breakfast. Hosts shared great history of the town and building, and were. Not overly chatty. Just perfect hosts who made sure I was happy with my stay. I came during a blizzard and it was nice seeing all the snow. When I woke up there was about 3 ft of snow on my truck and on the ground. They took the time to help me dig out my vehicle and even plowed the road so I could leave the property. I will 100% return during better weather.

This is a lovely historic B&B that we truly enjoyed! Julie and Dan are such accommodating and welcoming hosts. Our room was spacious and the bed incredibly comfortable. The deck and grounds were beautiful, plus we were treated to lots of hummingbirds at nearby feeders. And the breakfast was one of the best ever! We will definitely return - this is a perfect place for couples as well as a group of friends.
