REVIEWS FROM OUR GUESTS

ARUN

We were 8 member team had lot of fun doing bbq, dip in Creek and swim in the lake , the dead fall lake trail is 20 min drive from house, which intersect the PCT, became our main highlight of this trip, we had a swim in the lake at the end of the trail . This lake is on National Forest land.

Foot ball, frisbee present in the house will keep you occupied and hammock is a total relaxation in the woods.

Late nights we cherished the BBQ near the fire place , we also trekked along the creek had a fun in exploring new places, was looking for a glimpse of bear but didn't find one ;). The stay at home was relaxing and had ample space to fit all of us.

Highly recommended for 5+ group looking for outdoor activities and meditation. Thanks to Belinda for the guidance.

This was by far above what I could have imagined! Belinda's land is magical, we could all feel it. I had a group of ladies joining me for a retreat and this place was the perfect location.

The house was extremely cozy and warm, we all felt at home. The furnishings were adjustable in the living room for all our different activities. When I crossed over the bridge of the Mt. Shasta river to get to the property, it felt as though the old world fell behind and I entered into pure magic.

The sounds of the river were so soothing, everyone slept well and had fascinating dreams. There were hidden gems all over the forested property to discover. I stayed in the small cabin while the other ladies stayed in the main house. The cabin was the perfect location for me to get alone time and recharge between our group sessions.

Belinda's creativity and life philosophy is displayed decoratively throughout the house, it made me feel nourished and held and it makes this place really special. We all felt deeply loved and nurtured here. The beds were super cozy too! We didn't want to leave!

“One of my dearest friend groups has slowly scattered across the country in recent years — from NYC to Chicago and the Bay Area. When we decided to organize a reunion, I know Hestia was the place.

We’re group of men in our 30s, and Hestia was the perfect place to spend quiet time with each other. We reflected on our lives — expecting babies, plans to get married, illness and other challenges — in a way that we’re rarely able to connect in other environments. Hestia has a warm, welcoming, almost magical quality.

We spent our time on snowy hikes, soaking in the mineral baths at Stewart Mineral Springs, and had a local masseuse visit the house. It was an incredible experience, Belinda was a wonderful help, and we plan on going back again next year.”

What an amazing cabin! You can really feel the love that Belinda put into this wonderful place from the moment you walk in the door.

From the zen style seating in the living room, to the slippers by the door, to the little rolled up washed cloths in bathroom, we felt right at home. There are little notes around the house too - making everything super easy to figure out. Everything was spotless and we had plenty of space for all 8 of us.

The kitchen is very well equipped - as we cooked at the cabin for every meal! Belinda was always available if I had a question about the area. Thank you so much for the wonderful weekend in Shasta.
