Stunning 5-bedroom, 4-bath log house on 20 acres of forest and meadowland, in mountains near Mt. Lassen National Park--and multiple other amazing destinations.
The property is set at 4200 feet elevation with nearly a half mile of historic North Battle Creek running through the backyard, restored to sylvan condition and populated by brown and rainbow trout, some up to one pound.
Jackalope Acres isn't just a place to stay--it's a place to create memories! A family resort! Or a couples get away! With amenities available nowhere else in the area.

Our custom Alaskan cedar hot tub, sunken into the large wrap around deck, is the perfect place to start the day watching the song birds and hummingbirds at the feeders or end it with a cocktail or a glass of wine. We also have a large sunken firepit perfect for the cool evening weather.
North Battle Creek is an incredible fishing experience with curves, riffles, deep pools and a substantial trout population. Catch and release. Barbless hooks! Try a large green woolie bugger or match the hatch when the insects are coming up in the warm weather.
Jackalope Acres has extensive trails throughout the grounds for walking, (and in winter) snow shoeing, or cross country skiing. There are multiple evergreen species, black oak, plus meadows with native grasses and flowers.

Use our canoe or our kayaks at no additional charge on nearby Lake McCumber, also known for it's bald eagles, and osprey. Fishing isn't the reason to go there, but if you do want to try go the area to try is the only deep part of the lake in front of the dam.
Play croquet, badminton ,or volley ball on the grass lawn. Throw horseshoes in the firepit. Or throw the footballs, frisbees, or play catch with our balls and gloves. We have all those for you. One man's and one woman's mountain bike--and miles of roads. World class indoor outdoor ping pong table!
In winter, we have 4 sets of snow shoes for use at the acres or for Mt Lassen Park. There is a sledding hill on the property kids love. Or take our sleds up to Eskimo Hill where the locals go! Or just watch the leaves and the snow fall from the hot tub! In addition, we are 90 minutes from Mt. Shasta winter downhill skiing and snowboarding!
