About this property

Relaxing Lake Retreat • Pool • Hot Tub • Fire Pit • Game Room

Looking for that rare mix of cozy, fun, and wow? You just found it!

7 private acres… your perfect Lake Shasta escape.

> Pool, hot tub, fire pit, pool table, foosball, & corn hole
> 5 mins to Lake Shasta on Sacramento arm & I-5
> Sleeps 14, dog-friendly, fully stocked kitchen
> Lake, waterfalls, trails, & snow adventures nearby
> 200+ rave reviews… guests always want to return

Last weekend in September is still available.

Weather is usually warm through end of October if you want to spend time at the lake or in the pool.

If you like chilling, having fun, exploring and being in nature… we’ve got you covered year-round.

The cabin, the view and the forest will take you straight into relaxation & fun mode.

Downstairs: Two bedrooms (one has queen & other has king bed), one full bath, dining and living room with a tv and huge movie library. Plus, a kitchen stocked with every kitchen tool you ever wanted.

Upstairs: One bedroom with two sets of bunk beds (singles on top, doubles on the bottom) and a desk. Additional full bath. Massive loft with a big sectional couch and a futon that makes into a comfy double bed near a TV.

Also upstairs is a pool table and foosball table for indoor fun.

We’re fully stocked with games and books for whatever mood you’re in.

The outdoor pool and backyard area are epic with lots of outdoor seating, propane fire pit, corn hole, propane BBQ and an additional Blackstone grill top that's perfect to cook big breakfasts for the whole clan!

We’ve got enough towels for everyone to take a dip in the refreshing (or heated) pool and chillax year-round in the 7-person hot tub.

*Pool heater can be requested for chilly months for an extra daily fee. Pool heater subject to availability November - April when temps may be too cold.

Bring your fav playlist ‘cuz we’ve got a Bluetooth speaker downstairs and built-in speakers in loft.

We allow up to two dogs per stay with pet fee... sorry no cats or other animals. The backyard is completely fenced in.

We pride ourselves on providing a clean and super comfortable rental on the lake.

-> We can accommodate large groups of up to 16 additional guests when you rent our neighbor's home along with this one.

----------------------------

Hiking and exploring are literally out the front door.

We’re 5 minutes from a grocery store, several restaurants, gas, Antler's public boat ramp, fishing, and lake fun.

We have plenty of vehicle, quad and boat parking.

Want to paddle board but don’t want to schlep it here? We have 6 boards for rent… adult and children’s sizes available. We’ve even got one big enough to bring your dog along for the ride. (Woof!)

Love the snow? You’re 45 minutes from sledding, snowmobiling and awesome snow skiing and boarding at Mt. Shasta Ski Park.

Want to jump in or fish at the clear Sacramento River? It's 10 minutes north.

There are countless waterfalls within an hour... and the hiking is epic. A few alpine lakes, too. You’ll want to stay for months... no exaggeration!

We’re 5 - 10 minutes from dirt-biking and off-road trails. We’re also close to the legendary Chappie-Shasta Off-Highway Vehicle Area. So freaking fun!

* We have outdoor cameras that are turned off as soon as you arrive and won't turn on again until your check-out time. We respect your privacy.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We had a lovely Christmas stay. The cabin was beautiful, cozy, and well stocked with all the necessities for our family. The host was very attentive and reached out right away when there was a power issue to make sure we were taken care of. We felt well supported and comfortable throughout our stay. The only thing missing was a little Christmas Snow We would absolutely stay here again.

Lakehead Getaway

The home, pool and wooded setting was so peaceful and relaxing. The home was spacious and comfortable with plenty of seating. The pool was amazing. Swimming in a private pool in the woods set the stage for the whole vacation. Unique, cozy and relaxing sums it up. One of the best family rentals we have stayed in.

Enjoyed our Time

There were 8 of us staying and it worked out just fine for us. Really enjoyed the pool and back yard. Recommend coming prepared for mosquitoes but other wise super great home to be at while not on the lake. Road into house is a little steep and narrow but we made it fine towing a boat and the ramp access options close to the house were perfect, especially with the lake full.

Cozy Cabin Near Redding!

We had a retreat up in Redding during a 3 day weekend. Caitlin was extremely helpful giving us directions to the cabin and helping us feel at home. Cabin was well furnished with furniture, beds, entertainment, and kitchen appliances. Great location; you can really see the stars at night! The whole property is really well maintained and we ran in to no problems the whole weekend. Really appreciated all the hospitality and everyone had a great time!

Beautiful Family Cabin Close to Lake

Stunning cabin and backyard paradise great for a family of all ages. We came for boating on the lake and the first full day it poured but we were totally happy relaxing at the house. We played games, watched TV and enjoyed the hot tub and pool when the rain would let up. The second two days we went boating and all the activities that go along with it. The lake was like glass both days most of the day!! We enjoyed BBQing and making family dinners and relaxing in the beautiful backyard and surroubding scenery.

We all really enjoyed this cabin!

The 6 of us enjoyed this beautiful home from the minute we arrived to closing the door behind us to head home. Jeanna was the best, very open and communicative. Everything was excellent quality and did not look or feel like a cabin that stored old appliances or utensils that have outlived their lives, it was a beautiful home. The beds were amazing, the furniture comfortable, the grill perfect, kitchen stocked, even the showers had great pressure. The pool area was inviting and relaxing, the grounds well kept, even the deer were happy here. A hidden gem for sure. Looking forward to a repeat.

About the host

Hosted by Jeanna Gabellini

Host profile image
I've spent summers in Lakehead since I was a toddler. My dream was to own a cabin here so I could water and snow ski. We are blessed to have a little cabin just minutes from this log cabin in the forest. Heaven!

Why they chose this property

Our neighbors previously owned this cabin and when they said they would love us to buy it, I thought they were CRAZY to let go. It's bar-none the best cared for home in the lake area. The backyard pool surrounded by forest feels like being at a fancy resort... without the crowds! Someday we'll be lucky enough to retire here. In the meantime, you get to enjoy it for us. If you stay here... you'll never want to leave.

What makes this property unique

Therapeutic tranquility nestled in 7.2 private acres. Heaven on earth. And it's close to everything! Plus, we are super foodies and super adventurous... so we'll dial you into everything to see, do and experience up here in beautiful Shasta County!
