As many of the B&B’s long-time guests may know, Julian and Kachina Starr have lovingly taken over the Shasta Starr Ranch Bed and Breakfast as of April 1, 2015, continuing a cherished legacy established by Bill and Mary Larsen. With an impressive 30-year history, including two decades as a bed and breakfast, the property is steeped in warmth and character. The Starrs, who previously operated Turtle Rock Resort in Gold Beach, Oregon for eighteen years, bring a wealth of experience and commitment to the care and restoration of this historic property in Northern California. They are excited to welcome both new and returning guests to this unique retreat.

The Shasta Starr Ranch offers a rustic glimpse into the past, with its origins dating back to 1923 when it was founded as a thoroughbred horse ranch. Today, visitors can enjoy a variety of accommodations that maintain the charm of the early 20th century. The main house contains four spacious guestrooms, while the separate carriage house features five additional bedrooms, and there’s even a cozy two-bedroom cottage perfect for families or small groups.

What makes this property particularly appealing for dog owners is its genuine welcoming atmosphere for dogs. Dogs are embraced as part of the family here, allowing guests to explore the area without leaving their pets behind. This is a real opportunity to experience the stunning natural surroundings together. The expansive grounds invite leisurely walks, and the nearby Mount Shasta area offers numerous trails and parks where you and your dog can spend time outdoors.

The combination of genuine hospitality and dog-friendly accommodations makes Shasta Starr Ranch Bed and Breakfast a solid choice for travelers looking to enjoy time with their dogs while experiencing a piece of Northern California’s ranching history.
