Our lives are increasingly connected to a screen. We work, chat with friends and family, look at pictures of nature and cute animal videos, find recipes, and even chat with health professionals — all on a screen. It's convenient, but sometimes we need to stop and regain some balance. Why not take a break, reconnect with loved ones, and take in some real-life nature on a little getaway? I have just the spot — a serene cabin Airbnb in the woods above Lake Shasta.

Aptly named "The Treehouse," this gorgeous A-frame sits perched among the treetops overlooking Hirz Bay on Lake Shasta. From here, you'll see nothing but tall trees, the valley below, stunning mountain peaks, and the lake.

Inside, the living room is spacious and cozy, with plenty of seating, comfy pillows, and throw blankets. A wood-burning stove adds delightful ambiance and warmth on cool evenings. The entire front wall is made up of windows and sliding glass doors, giving you epic views of the forest whether you are curled up on the couch, sitting out on the large front deck, or even enjoying a meal at the dining table.

The living room flows right into the open kitchen and dining area, and you will have everything you need to prepare and enjoy meals at home. You can even bring your favorite whole coffee beans and use the grinder to make a wonderfully fresh cup every morning.

Everything about this place encourages a step back from the fast-paced, face-to-screen tech world. With shelves of books in both the living room and bedroom, you'll find a virtual library to explore. Curl up with a good read or gather the family for a night of togetherness with one of the provided board games.

The master loft bedroom overlooks the living room and may just make you want to stay in bed with its comfy queen bed and views of the lake and forest. And I just love the dreamy lights on the beams in the bedrooms and living room! Yes, bedrooms plural. There is a second bedroom at the back of the upper floor with a full-size bed and a beautiful built-in library.

You'll have no problem reconnecting with nature from your cozy home away from home, even if you never leave the property. Of course, there is much to do in the surrounding area. You'll find the Hirz Bay boat launch just four miles away, hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails, and Mt. Shasta Ski Park within 50 miles. The cabin also happens to be centrally located between Lassen Volcanic, Redwood, and Crater Lake National Parks.
