Creekside Retreat & Horse Stay On the waterfront
Creekside Retreat is a secluded cabin stay designed for family getaways, romantic weekends, quiet celebrations, trail riders, pet-friendly stays, and small retreats. Set at about 2,000 feet on 5 peaceful acres in Inwood Valley, a quiet part of Shingletown, the property rests along Sheridan Creek with a wide lawn, spacious deck, western rustic-chic interiors, and a gazebo tucked right at the creek’s edge. Dogs and horses are welcomed without added pet fees or pet deposits, and our no-chore checkout lets your final morning stay as peaceful as your first.
Tucked beneath the trees in beautiful Inwood Valley, Creekside Retreat offers the kind of stay that feels removed from the rush, but still within reach of Lassen, Burney Falls, Redding, local trails, and Northern California adventure.
This is a place for slow mornings, creekside coffee, family dinners on the deck, quiet celebrations on the lawn, romantic evenings by the fire, and meaningful time with the people — and animals — you love.
Inside, the cabin blends warm wood tones, cozy textures, western character, and boutique-inspired details. Outside, Sheridan Creek, the lawn, the deck, and the creek’s-edge gazebo create a peaceful setting for gathering, relaxing, and simply being away.
Thoughtfully Included
At Creekside Retreat, we believe the most memorable stays feel effortless.
Dogs and horses are welcome with no added pet fees and no pet deposits. We also offer our signature no-chore checkout, so your final morning does not have to feel rushed or weighed down by a long departure list.
Linger over coffee by the creek, take one last walk across the lawn, gather your belongings, and begin the drive home rested. We will take care of the details after you go.
The Property & Setting
Creekside Retreat sits on 5 peaceful acres along Sheridan Creek in Inwood Valley, a quiet foothill area of Shingletown at about 2,000 feet elevation.
The property features:
A wide lawn for relaxing, gathering, and enjoying the creekside setting
A spacious main deck for outdoor dining and slow mornings
A gazebo tucked right at the edge of Sheridan Creek
Peaceful trees, fresh foothill air, and a country-cabin atmosphere
A fenced yard area around the cabin for dogs
Horse-friendly amenities for guests traveling with horses
The creek’s-edge gazebo is one of the most special parts of the property — a beautiful place for morning coffee, quiet conversation, reading, photos, a romantic moment, or simply listening to the water.
Sleeping Spaces
The cabin offers two private bedrooms plus a semi-private upstairs sleeping loft.
The Buffalo Room
A cozy downstairs queen bedroom with western-inspired details and convenient access to the main full bathroom across the hall.

Dogs Stay Complimentary
We know dogs are part of the family, and we want them to feel welcome here too.
Dogs stay with no added pet fees and no pet deposits. The cabin has a securely fenced yard area where pups can enjoy easy outdoor time. When exploring the larger 5-acre property, dogs should remain on leash to help protect resident horses, local wildlife, and the natural setting.
After creek play or outdoor adventures, guests will find helpful pet touches including a hose, fresh pet towels, dog waste bags, and a dedicated outdoor waste bin.
Cats may be considered on a strict case-by-case basis with prior approval.
Horses Stay Complimentary
Creekside Retreat is also designed for guests traveling with horses.
Horse amenities include:
Easy trailer turnaround parking
Two covered horse stalls
Pipe-fenced corral
Water troughs
Meadow space
A small private obstacle course
Whether you are passing through, planning a horse-friendly getaway, or looking for a peaceful place to stay with your animals, Creekside Retreat offers a rare combination of comfort, privacy, and thoughtful horse accommodations.
Quiet Celebrations, Retreats & Meaningful Gatherings
Creekside Retreat is a beautiful setting for family getaways, romantic weekends, small retreats, milestone stays, and quiet celebrations.
The lawn, deck, creek, and gazebo create natural spaces for gathering without needing anything overly formal. It is ideal for guests who want a peaceful place to reconnect, celebrate softly, or enjoy time together in a private creekside setting.
For guests planning something special, we are happy to share local referrals after booking for optional experiences such as private dining, custom cakes, floral touches, massage, music, pet sitting, or other thoughtful add-ons. Any optional services are arranged directly with local providers.
