About this property

Come and stay in our lovely, updated home, you won't be disappointed. Perfect place for a winter getaway to the mountains for a ski/snowboard. Best place to stay to relax in the summer on the lake!

This Lake Front Vacation Rental on Lake Shasta was acquired in 2008. We recently renovated our home again in 2023 complete with new flooring in the master bath, fresh paint, and new decor. This is an exquisite retreat!

The property is a very roomy 2,300 s.f. family vacation rental on a third of an acre lot, with a game room in the garage with a pool table and on-site parking. This resort house is located in the quaint community of Lakehead and backs to Shasta Trinity National Forest Land with a private gate to the Forest Service trail directly to the Lake. There is nothing between you and the Lake except your desire to get there!

The lake is full this year and the water is right behind the house! Currently, you can not get a boat under the bridge in Doney Cove. The closest marina to moor your boat is Antlers.

The house sleeps 9 adults in very comfy beds with plenty of room for additional children. There is plenty of room in this house to accommodate large groups.

You will be more than pleased with our well-stocked home. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and serve gourmet or quick easy meals. There is a second full-sized refrigerator in the garage.

A large shaded private deck looks directly into the forest and the lake cove behind the property. The patio area is set up for outdoor meals or relaxing with a table, chairs, and barbecue.

Our property is family-owned and operated. See our rate schedule and calendar for more info.

Responsible renters must be at least 25 years old and present on the property during the rental period. Well-behaved dogs are welcome with an additional deposit (leash laws are enforced in the community). This is a Non-smoking house but there are designated areas to smoke outside.

Perfect lakeside accommodation

This was the perfect spot for our family and friends annual lake trip. Besides backing to the lake and being walking distance to the water where we anchored the boats there was plenty of parking for 4 vehicles and two trailers. The house had plenty of room and all the amenities one could need. The garage game room was an absolute plus with the pool table and dart board. Will definitely be booking for next summer!

Great property!

Extremely impressed with the owner and the property. The house was very well stocked with everything we needed and was very close the to lake (walking distance via the private trail in the back). The RV pad allowed me to park my 21 ft. Bass boat and truck on the property. Also, this proptis walking distance to the bar, restaurant, grocery store, and ice cream shop. Will definitely be staying here again!

Great stay but it was too short!

Wholeheartedly recommend this rental home for your Lake Shasta stay. High water this season provided access to Doney Creek w/ a short 2 min walk through the back yard trail lined with luscious greenery. Easily walk to the water for wading, swimming, fishing or playing. The location is very close to the Doney Creek train trestle, so many daring folks were jumping off both the trestle and bridge. *Added bonus for those trainspotters. The Union Pacific freight trains come regularly.* Driveway is good for two vehicles. Then resort to street for any additional vehicles. There is a parking pad on the side of the house too that can be used for a vehicle. An experienced boater can back a rig there but not advised for someone new. Check with mgmt and get their okay first to park boat there. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed to cook minus spices and seasoning. Fridge was big, clean and empty ready for your groceries. We didn’t BBQ but both a charcoal and propane was available. All appliances worked as should. We came the weekend of a massive heatwave, with temps in the 105-110 range. The AC kept up and provided relief when we got off the water. The shower in the main communal bathroom posed a challenge to my 14 yo to balance water temp. Aside from that, the 3 bathrooms were clean with good water pressure. The beds(!), they were some of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept on! Master had California king while the other two rooms feature 2 full beds.

Great House!

House was great! For 20+ years we have rented a houseboat on Lake Shasta but decided to change it up this year. Best decision ever. After a day on the lake it was heaven to come back to a real shower, nice beds and good air conditioning!

About the host

Hosted by Elizabeth Rahm

Hi, my name is Karen DuBois and our vacation rental is a family owned and operated property. We are avid outdoor enthusiasts and relaxation specialists and have always loved Lake Shasta and all the wonderful surrounding areas. My family moved to the Lake in 1972 and have enjoyed being a part of this community since.

Why they chose this property

This house is a very accommodating. It has large doors and wide open spaces that make it roomy and inviting for large groups. It has been outfitted with almost everything you could need while on a relaxing vacation...all you need to bring is your clothes and groceries! We strive to make this a destination that our guests will want to return to year after year. Our family loves this home and we know that you will too!

What makes this property unique

There are only a few vacation rentals on the Lake that actually border Forest Service property with a direct trail to the Lake and our property is one of them. You can tie your boat to the shoreline and walk from the house to access the Lake. Our property has its own private gate directly to the Forest Service trail directly to the water's edge. Our property also has an off-street pad that will accommodate a large truck and trailer and driveway parking for other vehicles. We have converted the garage into a gameroom with a pool/ping pong table and other games. The entire property has been remodeled, decorated, landscaped and set up to provide every convenience for a relaxing, fun vacation.
