19177 Hollow Lane

The lane narrows, the city falls away, and three acres open up along Churn Creek -- oaks, water, birdsong, and a storybook Tudor home standing in the middle of it, already open for business. Five minutes from a freeway on-ramp and the full range of Redding's attractions, yet private enough that guests forget the city is even there. That's the site. What's running on it is the opportunity -- and what a new owner can build from here is the real story. Hope Inn already runs as a permitted bed and breakfast with a loyal following and press credit from Enjoy Magazine and HGTV's House Hunters behind it -- proof of concept, not the ceiling. The infrastructure a new owner needs to grow is already wired in: branding and a booking site in place, reservations synced across Google, Expedia, Booking.com and beyond, keyless entry, and an automated guest communication system that runs with or without an innkeeper standing at the front desk. Financials available to qualified buyers on request. That's a running start -- what comes next, whether it's more rooms in rotation, event and retreat bookings, or simply raising rates to match demand, is where the upside lives. The roughly 4,000-square-foot main house holds five guest rooms, each with its own natural-stone en suite bath and a flagship suite built around a copper soaking tub -- inventory that's already earning, with room to reprice as reputation builds. A second home sits behind the inn along the creek, three bedrooms and two baths of its own, ready to work as owner's quarters, staff housing, or an entirely separate income stream -- a second revenue line a new owner hasn't tapped yet. The grounds are built to expand the guest experience further: manicured gardens down to the creek, two fountains, multiple seating areas on the water, a home theater, and a jacuzzi already in place -- the kind of setting that lends itself to weddings, retreats, and small gatherings a new owner could add to the booking calendar. Location is the tailwind behind all of it. Redding is a growing Northern California city with world-class fishing at the front door, and Lake Shasta, Mt. Shasta, Whiskeytown Lake, Burney Falls, and Lassen Volcanic National Park all within an hour -- a demand base that doesn't lean on any one season, with room to grow as the region does. Two homes, one creek, and a foundation for your future dream business already built. The rest of the story is yours to write.
