Welcome to Your Private Northern California Retreat
Eighty-two acres. Five bedrooms. Heritage fly fishing. Lassen National Park as your backyard. Discover the best of Northern California’s outdoor adventures—without leaving behind the comforts of the great indoors.
Whether you come to fish, explore, or are simply seeking a comfortable place to unplug, gather, and relax, we invite you to experience the timeless beauty and easy charm of Bailey Creek Ranch.

A newly updated five-bedroom, five-bath lodge with room for up to 12 guests. Designed for gathering, the home features a spacious kitchen, open living area, game room, outdoor pool, and WiFi.

The property is nestled on eighty-two acres of private land, bordered by Lassen National Park. Fish gin-clear creeks and stocked ponds, hike miles of private trails, and sprawl out on our three-acre lawn.

The ranch is your basecamp for discovery. Lassen National Park is right next door, Burney Falls is about 40 minutes away, and Mt. Shasta is an hour north. Local wineries and Chico are also within easy reach.
Rates are $2,000 per night for up to 12 guests. All bookings require a 2-night minimum and are subject to a 10% Shasta county tax and a flat $150 cleaning fee.
To check availability, just send us an email — or if you prefer, you can also book directly through Airbnb.

Bailey Creek Ranch is an 82-acre Northern California retreat in Manton, CA, about 45 minutes east of Red Bluff and Redding. For years, this place was known as one of the region’s premier fly-fishing lodges—a destination for anglers from across the West. That heritage is still alive in the waters that wind through the property, but today the ranch is also so much more.
I'm Sean, and Bailey Creek Ranch has been part of my family for years. I stayed here often with my kids and fell in love with the land, the lodge, and the feeling of slowing down in nature. When the home came up for sale in 2024, I purchased the property and am excited to carry its legacy forward.
In June 2025, I re-opened the ranch with new life: freshly updated amenities, space for families and groups to gather, and a renewed vision for the property as a retreat for fishing, adventuring, and reconnecting.
Whether you’re planning a family reunion, a friends’ weekend, a team offsite, an anglers’ retreat, or simply a few days to unplug in nature, Bailey Creek Ranch is your private home in the wild.

Note that getting to the property includes driving over a narrow but solid bridge—easily manageable for regular cars but not ideal for oversized RVs.
No. Due to California fire regulations, outdoor fires are not permitted. The pool, lawn, and lodge are great gathering spaces instead!
