We also provide a full sized massage table and percussive massage machine to massage fellow guests. And we also provide a list of local massage therapists you can book by appointment ready to come to this location.
Outside in the very private backyard is a propane bbq, a dining table, and a staircase which leads to the Main Street.

The yard also has a clothesline to dry blankets and sleeping bags and is fenced to contain small and medium sized dogs inside. We are pet friendly and love dogs (and cats!).
The residence is across from the Sacramento River and a rail yard. Trains chug along across the river and sometimes stop to add extra train cars. An Amtrak station is only a block away for train traveling friends and guests.
If you enjoy trout fishing we provide 3 ready to go fishing poles, a stocked tackle box, a fishing vest, net, waders and little portable fishing chairs. Dunsmuir is famous for its trout fishing and you can walk or drive to a variety of perfect fishing holes along the river to fish or just relax.
Or if you prefer biking or kayaking we provide 2 mountain bikes for your use and an inflatable 2 person kayak and 2 paddles and life vests. It’s easy to transport this sturdy inflatable kayak in a small car and inflate it on location at the many local lakes nearby with the included pump. We also provide backpacks for hikers to use during their stay at Hiker’s Haven.
