About Lori and David Raun
David and Lori have been coming to Shasta Lake as our highlight of the summer for 20 years with our children. We have found it is great place for families and the great resource of activities for all ages to enjoy. We enjoyed our time so much we decided to buy a lake house in Sept 2015 (Shasta Lakeshore Retreat #1...VRBO #755925)). One year later we bought the house next door (Shasta Lakeshore Retreat #2...VRBO#926144) because we thought it was good investment and our first home is booked solid during the warm months. We also had requests for room for much larger parties as the choices on the lake for 24 are very limited. We think these two homes are the best houses on the lake. We look forward to sharing both of them with our guests.
Lori and David Raun purchased this House in 2015
Why Lori and David Raun chose Lakehead
Easy decision. Although there were many places for sale including many with great views, we wanted to be on the lake, enjoy the cooler temperature by the water surrounded by mature trees and be close to the marina. We have done house boating and rented many of the properties but nothing compares to these two. You can't either of these two homes.
What makes this House unique
Location, location, location! Close to Boating/Fishing Close to ATV Trails EASY Drive from California and Oregon locations. Unlike other California lakes in droughts, Shasta Lake has NEVER been short on water. These two homes are right next to each other making them ideal for large parties. If you have a smaller party, just rent one of the two. The availability might be better for just one of them.

everything was in order and welcoming - very relaxing stay while providing accommodations for work retreat
Perfect Family Gathering Spot
Spectacular! These owners provide a marvelous vacation experience for a very reasonable price, could not be more helpful, and provide amenities that are surprising and welcoming. Our family is already planning our return next year. The location is so beautiful with a gorgeous view of the lake and an amazing star-filled night sky not available in metropolitan USA. We loved it.
Larry, Thanks for your wonderful review and we are so glad you loved these two homes. They are nice for a large party. Fortunately we now have a 3rd home so we can handle even a larger party up to 36. We look forward to your return. You will always be welcome at our homes.
Thanks

Shasta Vacations 4 Rent
Shasta is half way, since we are from OR and the rest of the family is from the Bay Area.
We rented both houses, loved that they were side-by-side. They were perfect for our three families with adult children. Enjoyed kayaks and stand-up boards. Owners were great to work with. View of the lake from out desks was amazing! We will definitely be back.
Hello Karen,
Thanks so much for staying with us. We are glad the two homes worked out for you. It is nice having them next to each other. If you ever need a 3rd we can also arrange that on the street. Thanks for the great review...much appreciated.
Thanks

Great homes and awesome views
Our big group had a great time in the homes. The views from the deck are great with an easy access to Lake. The homes are as described and our group had a great time celebrating Christmas break together. The welcome baskets with souvenir t-shirts and wine added to the list of great hospitality. There is a great collection of board games and books to read. All in all we had the most enjoyable time as a group. Lori is very easy to work with and was very prompt in replying to all the questions. We had a last minute change to the headcount and Lori took great care in accommodating for our needs. We look forward to renting the place in future again to enjoy summer time at Lake Shasta. Thank you Lori and Dave for being such great hosts.
Kalpana,
Happy New Year. It was great having your large group stay with us for Christmas in both our two homes on the lake. Thanks so much for the wonderful review and we look forward to seeing you in the summer also. I hope you got one of those special Shasta Sunrises we get especially this time of the year.
As you know, we also rent out the two homes separately for smaller parties. VRBO 755925 & 926144.

Great Gathering Location for our Large Family
We had such a wonderful time!
This location with the two homes directly next to each other was perfect for our large blended family. 22 of us (13 adults and 9 grandchildren) had plenty of individual space within the beautiful houses. The property is just as described in the listing with everything you could possibly want or need. Everything was spotlessly clean and in great condition. There was plenty of parking for our 6 cars with space to spare. The homes are nestled in a small housing area on a dead end street so there wasn’t a lot of traffic noise (we basically had the neighborhood to ourselves).
The welcome baskets with a bottle of wine and two souvenir Lakeshore Retreat T-Shirts were much appreciated (we ended up purchasing additional T-shirts for the entire group). The large decks and beautiful lake views were treasured every day and night with plenty of seating for all. It just took a few minutes to walk down to the lake, and there was a convenient boat ramp nearby. The kids had a blast playing in the water. We enjoyed playing board games together, assembling puzzles, pitching horseshoes, boating and fishing, hiking various trails along the lake, and relaxing in the hot tubs.
We took the free tour of the Shasta Dam and found it very informative. We went to the Basshole Bar and Grill and enjoyed visiting with the locals, eating appetizers (very tasty) and playing pool. Some of us had breakfast at the Lakeshore Inn one day and said it was very good. The local market stocked most things you would need in a pinch, and the city of Redding was only 35 minutes away for major food shopping.
The owners (Lori and David) were very pleasant and just a message or call away for any questions that arose. The entire booking, checking in and checking out process was very organized and easy. Everyone in our group without exception enjoyed the trip and look forward to our next visit.
John and Debbie...and crew of 20 more....thank you so much for the very detailed, positive and helpful review for other potential guests to read. You guys were great and appreciate you taking care of our home.
We are excited that you have joined our growing list of returning guests with your booking in 2019.
We look forward to your next stay.

Map
Location, location, location....If you like the water, water sports, and the mountains. In the mountains right by a lake but only 25 miles to redding, ca when you need costco, safeway, best buy and home depot.
Also this is one of the best places for ATVs...endless miles of back roads very close to cabin.
