O'Brien Mountain Inn

I have stayed several times now. I try to come at least once a year, just to get away from the hectic lifestyle. It's quiet and elegant with customer service that will leave you wanting to stay an extra night or more....

I really loved the hospitality and the home-made breakfast.

We stayed in Luke's Treehouse for our wedding night. It was quiet, romantic, elegant, and very luxurious. Big, comfy bed, music and movies if you want, and a tub for two. What a wonderful night ... we'll be back.

This place was perfect for our 4 year anniversary. Our suite had a jacuzzi bath and a gas fireplace which upped the romance factor a lot. We took a bath with the rain falling down on the skylights above us and in complete peace and serenity. The breakfast the next morning was delicious and having it delivered to the suite was fabulous. You never need to leave the suite!

I don't write many reviews, and this is a challenging one . . . . We travel extensively, and really enjoy the B&B experience. Often the highlight of a trip is the place we stay, rather than the destination itself. With that in mind, as I planned a long weekend getaway in the vicinity of Lake Shasta and Lassen National Park, I found only one luxury B&B with excellent reviews in that area - the O'Brien Mountain Inn. Everything we read was five star, so I booked their best suite for three nights. Greg and Teresa Ramsay are the innkeepers, and they are the nicest people one could ever hope to meet. Their property is beautiful, in a gorgeous setting amid the pines about 15 miles north of Redding. We had their Upper Suite, a VERY nice accommodation with a host of amenities, including a fireplace, large private deck, wonderful bathroom, great king bed, and more! The suite is very private and included is a fantastic breakfast served at the room every morning. Actually, there are two servings. Early on - about 8 AM - superb coffee and perhaps the best muffins you have ever tasted are delivered to your door. An hour later, guests receive a full breakfast, masterfully prepared. If this all sounds too good to be true, it is! There is one factor that distracts from the stay. The property is located very close (perhaps no more than 200 feet) to the Union Pacific main railroad line. As we were checking in, a 100-car freight train came by and on the deck it was incredibly loud, as one might imagine. We entered the suite, closed the door, and the sound was muffled considerably. I am a rail fan, so I figured "OK, I can live with that." However, after we went to bed that evening the trains weren't satisfied with just cruising by - some engineers decided that it would be great fun to give a few blasts on the horn. Wow. Even inside that was a wakeup - literally! I'm being a bit kind regarding the trains. If one did not know they were coming, it would sound as if the locomotive was coming right through the inn. We decided to make a joke about it, and use them as an alarm clock to get up and use the bathroom . . . . The funny thing is that we never noticed other reviews mentioning the trains - our reason for a rating of 4 stars instead of five. Other than the trains and a small faux pas with housekeeping, which was corrected immediately with profuse and sincere apology, we found the O'Brien Mountain Inn to be a wonderful place to stay while in the area. Greg and Teresa's dinner recommendations were right on (don't miss Rivers Restaurant in Redding!). The location is fine - nothing in the immediate area, but an easy shot to Redding, and only an hour to Lassen National Park. Go North for less than an hour to get to Mount Shasta. The Lake Shasta Caverns are very close by, as well. In comparison to other really outstanding inns we have patronized, it is a bit overpriced, but if you want to stay in a luxury inn in that area, you may have no other choice. Value-wise, we would rate it as a very nice $225-$250 suite that will cost you $300 a night. There are no special discounts. Take into consideration the breakfast you will receive and the gracious innkeepers. We have never had better!

This place is perfect.Everything about our stay was wonderful.

Wow, what a fabulous romantic getaway. We spent our 22nd wedding anniversary in the Petite Suite. It was so beautiful and relaxing. It even smelled wonderful. It was a great place to reminisce on our 22 years together.

This place is a wonderful, peaceful, healing place! If you need to rest and reflect or just breathe fresh mountain air this is the place. Helpful, friendly, and sweet family running the Inn. The food was beyond great!!!!

My friend found this place a number of years ago through a google search & we return annually now! Must stay!!!

This Inn has been the best thing ever for my husband and I. We love the quiet, secluded setting; the breakfast menu never fails to please the taste buds and the homemade chocolates are exceptional! It is wonderful to sleep somewhere that is not your own bed and REALLY sleep; the entire atmosphere invites and promotes comfort, relaxation, and pure rejuvenation to your soul! The Innkeepers have captured the true essence of hospitality. You will not be disappointed...we have been returning for over 5 years and each visit regenerates us. Thank You Greg and Teresa...God Bless you and your family!

Absolutely Amazing!! OBrien Mountain Inn I took my husband here for a surprise for his birthday and we were both blown away!! We stayed in the treehouse suite and enjoyed an amazing night together. It was the perfect place to get away and recharge!! Muffins and coffee were delivers to our suite in the morning, followed by a very yummy breakfast 30 minutes later. I really don't have the words to describe our stay. Just, if you get the chance, just stay here. It is good for your soul.
