Vacation with family and friends
Absolutely breathtaking!!! Went up with my daughters and friend. Im already planning to go back next year! The wildlife was to die for we saw a white squirrel, bunch of deer, amazing birds along with some cool critters. They have trails down to the water. I would suggest 100% bring water shoes to make getting out easier. There is no shade to keep your dog down there but just for a dip and back to the house. I left with tears of joy in my eyes!! Until next year Lake Shasta!! Thank you for this experience!!!

Great house for a friends reunion.
We stayed at the lake house for five nights in October. We had everything we needed! The weather was a mix of rain and sun, and on the rainy days we were perfectly happy to stay home and enjoy the views, the wildlife, the hot tub, and the well stocked kitchen. We appreciated the water pressure and nice hot water in the showers. Plenty of space to hang out and play games or watch movies. Our favorite was probably just hanging out on the deck talking and enjoying the view.

Family Birthday Trip
We stayed at Retreat 1 for our son's birthday. Great location, easy access to water. House was super cute and clean. Nice having master bedroom upstairs and then rest of bedrooms downstairs. Had a great time and Lori and Dave were incredible checking in and answering any questions I had. Definitely will be coming back again. We already booked another of their homes for next weekend.

What a great place! Exactly as described; the house had everything we needed as we enjoyed a relaxing weekend. The view of the lake was priceless. Great walking distance to the marina to watch the boats and get some ice cream with the kids. Would definitely love to come back and rent a boat next time. Dave & Lori were great and friendly hosts.

Thank you Scott for your kind words. It was our sincere pleasure to host your family and friends...and an added bonus to meet you in person! We appreciate your thoughtful mention of not just our home and the amenities we provide but also your understanding of our lake level dynamics. We try so hard to give our guests clear expectations before they arrive so there are no surprises. As you know and enjoyed, there was great water out there even with our drought. Please keep in touch as we would like nothing more than to have you return making new traditions "on land" and in our home versus house boating 😉
With over two decades of cherished family memories at Shasta Lake, we, David and Lori, came to regard Shasta Lake as the highlight of our summers. It's a place where families can bond, and where the range of activities appeals to every age group, making it the perfect spot for a family getaway.
Our love for Shasta Lake runs deep, leading us to make a life-changing decision in 2015 when we purchased our first lakefront home, known as Shasta Lakeshore Retreat #1. The incredible experiences we had here were simply too good not to share and we knew our houseboat days were over after staying in this home.
A year later, we acquired the property next door, now known as Shasta Lakeshore Retreat #2, bolstered by the popularity of our first home, which had become a year-round favorite.
In 2019, our two grown sons also fell in love with this wonderful place, prompting them to buy a home on the same charming street, christened as Shasta Lakeshore Retreat #3. They entrusted us with its management, a responsibility we take to heart. All three homes required significant investment and remodeling as they had been neglected for years.
After many requests from dear friends and neighbors, in 2021 we started managing other properties, which further enriched our collection. Although we only own two of them, today, we proudly represent 19 remarkable homes, each carefully selected for its unique charm, quality, and comfort. We firmly believe that an extraordinary home is the foundation of an unforgettable getaway, and we want nothing less than perfection for our valued guests.
Our journey doesn't end here; it's an ongoing adventure inspired by our passion for Shasta & the surrounding areas. We are committed to carefully expanding our offerings, reviewing additional unique homes to provide more options for all the wonderful families that come to visit this recreational area year after year providing them a much needed lodging option.
Warm regards, David and Lori
