500 Acre Ranch on the Foot of Mount Shasta.


500 Acres of beautiful Solitude. It’s like being in a National Park without tourists.
We have Water, water, water, every where water. Our Creek is Spring fed and runs through the center of the property for 1 3/4 miles. Wild Trout abound in the crystal clear water. Our Well water is delicious and abundant. Take long showers and enjoy the luxury of super clean, clear water.
Once there, You will feel like you own your own ranch in the heart of the Old West.

This rental is a beautiful, unique and limited opportunity. Only one family or group will be able to take advantage of this offer at a time. It is like a Guest Ranch, but you have the place to yourself with solitude and privacy in a beautiful natural setting. Photographs just can not do it justice. There are spectacular views in all directions.

The ranch is in the heart of the Old West with numerous rivers and lakes nearby. It is 10 minutes North of downtown Mt. Shasta and 25 minutes South of Yreka. The McCloud River: 45 minutes, The Upper Sacramento: 15 minutes, The Klamath (45 min.), the Trinity River (45 min.),the Pit River and Hat Creek (about one hour). Our on-site ponds abound in trophy size trout. If you ever dreamed of helping your child catch a trout, this is the place to make real, that fantasy! The fishing is unsurpassed. To protect and preserve the Trout, only Barbless Flys are allowed in the ponds. It's a Catch and Release venue.

While extremely private, the ranch is less than five minutes from the city of Weed and 10 minutes from Mount Shasta City.
Interstate 5 is 5 minutes away and the Weed airport is 10 minutes away.

The City of Weed has Tesla Super Chargers and the Ranch has Outdoor 240 Volt (14-50 NEMA fifty Amp) and 120 Volt Sockets for charging your Electric Vehicle.

If you want a secluded, and beautiful home base from which to explore Northern California and Southern Oregon this is an excellent venue.

The house lies at the end of a mile long, unpaved private country road. This secluded mountain site provides spectacular 360 degree views. I often sit outside with a cup of tea or a cold drink and watch the views and wildlife. Time seems to stand still. If you are an artist or bird watcher you will be captivated. The lighting is fantastic.

A small horse and cattle operation is run by a local cowboy who was also an officer of the law in town. His occasional presence on the range will help guard your privacy and will add a layer of security. Tim (ex Siskiyou County Sheriff) knows the area well and can provide excellent information about the regions extensive recreational opportunities.

There is one main bathroom and a Half Bath in the laundry room area.

With all of the water around, it is amazing that there are no Mosquitoes or other biting insects to speak of. Having stayed at places where bug spray was a necessity, I believe this is an issue every vacationer should look into before committing to a rental property.
there is NO WiFi but cell phone reception is excellent for all Smart Phones and Tablets etc.

Tim, the Ranch Manager and Kelly, the House Keeper work hard to make your experience enjoyable. Please consider leaving them a Tip to express your appreciation.

Thank you,
Bill Broadhead

What a magical week we had at Broadhead Trout Ranch. From the privacy of having the entire 500 acres to yourself, to the bubbling brook surrounded by wildflowers and fresh mint, you will feel like you have stepped into a different world. If your soul needs peace, this is the place to be. Enjoy qu

Hidden Ranch House Retreat

The entry gate area was bleak, having been decimated by a fire a year prior, but once you got down the road the scene changed dramatically, with a lovely secluded ranch sitting above acres of meadows, some w cattle, some w hoses, and several ponds, there are beautiful views of the mountains to the west, and Mt Shasta to the south. I used it as a convenient access for day trips into the mountains, some still w snow, and scenic lakes with wildfl.

Mt Shasta Sunrise

We LOVED this property, the ranch house is very comfortable and has everything you need. Our host Bill was great, he had great suggestions for activities and sight seeing. We enjoyed watching the 2 horses and the cattle meandering in the meadows just outside the ranch house. My wife and I with our 2 beagles spent 5 great days here, much of our time was spent on the ranch hiking and exploring the meadows, creeks, ponds and forests FANTASTIC VIEWS in every direction. There is so much to do in the area near the ranch, we made 2 trips to the end of the road up Mt Shasta (Old Ski Bowl trailhead). Castle lake was lovely and the McCloud River falls area is very beautiful, GREAT waterfalls, magical. We're planning our next stay now.Keith & Karla L

It’s a very special place, especially for those who want solitude and natural beauty. The house is a rustic farmhouse. The kitchen is new and very nice. The bedrooms are a mix of queen beds, bunk beds, and a small room with a full size (tight fit). The house is bigger than the two of us need, but the property is so beautiful it’s worth it to us. We do day excursions to surrounding sights, but mostly we hang out on the lawn by the small pond and creek and read, plus stare at the expansive view!

Peaceful ranch stay

Beautiful lands with views of Mt Shasta and surrounding areas. Enjoyed meandering around the meadows and by the ponds with our dog, and watching the cattle out back through the kitchen window. Comfortable house with board games and a nicely equipped kitchen; easy communication with the owner. Would definitely stay again.

Broadhead Trout Ranch

Beautiful property and a working cattle ranch. Took the family and 2 grandkids. Fishing was a bit difficult, but lots of other fishing spots close by. We liked feeding the horses carrots. Cows were great to see all around. Ranch manager Tim was really helpful with tips. Nice ranch to hike all over.

We loved the ranch. It was so beautiful and quiet. My son in law enjoyed fishing the ponds while my other SIL and I went up to Mt Shasta and did some snowmobiling. The host was a great communicator as well. The dogs enjoyed running around the ranch as well. I would definitely stay here again.

We really loved our stay at the ranch. The privacy, activities, and fresh air was a perfect recipe for our family and dog. Our dog was miserable when we got back...he loved it up there so much!

Paradise at the top of the State

Our family had a wonderful winter weekend at Broadhead Ranch. This is a truly exceptional VRBO experience and ranks at the top of our favorite family trips. The ranch is secluded and peaceful, yet remarkably close to town and freeway acess. We enjoyed frosty winter hikes, family game time around the wood burning stove, and daytrips to Mount Shasta and Scott Valley (try Five Marys Burgerhouse, it's great). We cannot wait to come back and experience a different season!

Amazingly peaceful 500 acres with view of Mt Shasta

This property gave me the privacy and seclusion on 500 acres to really get in touch with nature, while enjoying amazing views of rolling hills and mountains. The home is spacious and has a quaint country ranch feel to it. I watched horses and cows grazing in the back, while sipping my coffee in the morning next to a beautiful pond by the house out front. This land is truly magical, and I enjoyed every moment of my stay here. The owner was also a pleasure to work with and was always available to answer any questions that I had. I look forward to staying here again in the future.

Amazing property, brand new country kitchen, dog heaven, super clean, sunsets and sunrises are world class here! Ponds & trails overgrown, outside is super rustic, we didn't care but a cleaner first impression/porch/trash & better pond/boat access would've made it a solid 5 star for all.

If you want to slow down and get away this is your place. A back to the land feeling sets in and grows on you. There's horses that roam freely, cows, fields, water and majestic mountains. The house is old rustic, full of cowboy art. There is only one bathroom.

Beautiful Views

This 500 acre ranch was outstanding! My family and I loved the house, the views, the horses, and ponds. The house is very nice and we all felt super comfortable and slept so good here! It was well stocked with most of the things we needed. We just ran to the local grocery store and picked up some food. It was a short drive to take our kids sled riding. It was quiet. Our dogs absolutely loved it! The view from every window in the house was amazing! We couldn’t get enough. We can not wait to go back and visit in the spring/summer!

Another OK stay at the ranch

Second time here. We had an issue with check-in but Bill handled it quickly. We've stayed here before and were happy to see some key upgrades since our last stay - updated kitchen, new windows, etc. However the grounds were quite unkempt; trash was seen around the property grounds, water leaked into the place from heavy rains, the grounds on the way in have been burned down from the Mill fire and a dump area has just been left there. Quite unsightly. Until we get word that these issues have been addressed we'll find somewhere else to stay in Shasta.

Farm Cabin Amazing Property

With my wife and 3 girls and 1 bathroom, I wasn’t sure how we would handle a few days in an old rustic farm house at the end of a dirt road. I underestimated the ladies completely. They took a walk in a thunderstorm, fished the pond twice, met the cows and cow patties and recovered, fed cowboy Tim’s horses in the meadow, hiked and swam the McCloud Falls, talked me into s’mores - the bbq makes a great fire pit, took riding lessons from Rocking Mattie’s Ranch and then sunset kayaked Lake Siskiyou - my personal highlight. Usually I have to hike for days to find a spot with incredible mountain and meadow views and no one else around but here it is right outside of town. Beautiful spot!
