Cave Springs Resort

Cave Springs Resort sits along the Sacramento River in Dunsmuir, California, about ten minutes from Mount Shasta. The property mixes several kinds of stays: the renovated Lookout Cabin with river and mountain views and its own hot tub, boutique hotel rooms, modern cabins tied to the resort's long history, and airstream trailers tucked among the pines.

The setting puts fishing, hiking, and waterfalls within easy reach, and the resort itself sits in what's known as prime fly fishing territory. On-site, guests can use a swimming pool, BBQ grills, picnic areas, a kids' play area, and the Dunsmuir Botanical Gardens next door. The Lookout Cabin has a private deck for morning coffee and a hot tub for evenings; the airstreams are set back in the trees for a more secluded camping-style stay while still being a short drive from downtown Dunsmuir.

This is a place built around a basecamp mentality: pick your adventure during the day, whether that's a river walk, a trail, or a drive up to Mount Shasta, then come back to a room, cabin, or airstream that's already set up for relaxing. The resort is located just off Interstate 5, which makes it a practical stop for road trips through Northern California as well as a standalone destination.

Booking is handled through ResNexus, and the resort can also be reached directly by phone for questions about specific units or availability.
