Excited to share my lovely home located near the mountains and lakes of far Northern California. Enjoy a range of outdoor activities as well as easy access to our local food, music, and theater scene.
Our home is located in a quiet neighborhood next to the Lema Ranch Nature Preserve (https://www.mcconnellfoundation.org/lema-ranch/) with beautiful walking trails. We have a lovely home with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an outdoor living room with a hot tub. Mount Lassen (https://www.nps.gov/lavo/index.htm) is just east of us and has amazing camping while Mount Shasta (https://mtshastaca.gov/) is just to the north. If you enjoy water sports, we are just a 15 minute drive from Whiskeytown Lake (https://www.nps.gov/whis/index.htm), a crystal clear lake with beautiful beaches, kayaking, and boat rentals. Lake Shasta (https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/stnf/recarea/?recid=6420) is just north with miles of stunning shoreline and houseboat rentals. Redding, an active community, has miles of biking, walking, and hiking trails, the beautiful Sundial Bridge (https://www.turtlebay.org/sundial-bridge), Turtle Bay Exploration Park (fun for kids https://www.turtlebay.org/), and a historic downtown walking district with local breweries, wine shops, live music, and amazing food and art.

Onde estamos e o que há por perto
Aeroporto mais próximo: Redding Municipal Airport - 8 miles
I have the sweetest neighbors including families with young children, retired couples, and young professionals. We often gather at our neighborhood park for picnics and games. Because I live in a cul de sac, the area is very quiet with no through traffic. The neighborhood is right next to the McConnell Foundation nature preserve that includes miles of both paves and unpaved walking trails that wind around beautiful ponds and oak tree meadows. Bike trails that connect all the way to Lake Shasta are easily accessible from our home. Shopping and restaurants are just minutes away.

Texto de apresentação da família
I am a college professor living on my own. My son just recently graduated from college and is working on becoming a pilot in Montana.
Estilo de vida
I decided to return to my hometown of Redding because of my love for the outdoors. I love backpacking in the nearby Trinity Alps, hike in Mount Lassen, and kayak almost daily at Whiskeytown Lake in the summers. I walk daily at Lema Ranch, the nature preserve right behind my house which is dog friendly. Once in a while, if I'm lucky, I spot the river otter in the preserve's pond! I'm also minutes away from the famous Sundial Bridge that connects to a beautiful, paved trail along the Sacramento River.

ES1010456Muy buena relación con la familia de intercambio. La casa superó las expectativas (nos dejaron dos casas y el coche) y nos pasó contactos de sus familiares y amigos, siendo todos un encanto y ofreciendo ayuda en todo momento. Seguimos manteniendo contacto con ellos y esperamos poder vernos el año que viene.
