First Visit, DEFINITELY not the last!
I was very nervous about renting this home (1st time), turned out to be the best experience!! I was blown away by the kindness and accommodations from Lori and David. They sent extremely helpful emails to help us get ready for our trip and answered all my questions before I even had the chance ask. Before we even left, my family was already planning next years trip. Loved this place!
The house was amazing, very clean and very spacious. All the rooms were large and comfortable, the water pressure was fantastic, the stove top was huge, so nice, we almost spent more time at the house than on the water.
This house was so great! Better than pics, and the pics look amazing! My female cousins on my mums side flew from all over the country and my sister and I flew our 88 year old mum to reunite with her 91 year old brother for the first time in 20 years....and to literally say good bye. We had an epic time sitting on the porch and telling stories with a STUNNING VIEW! Beds were super comfy, house was STOCKED with kitchen stuff, games galore. Everyone in town was ridiculously nice, it made the trip even better.....I HIGHLY recommend you rent this place!
Second time I've stayed at this property and it was great both times. Location is excellent and communication with the property owner was always timely. With an
This property was exactly as advertised - well stocked, very comfortable for 2 families, plenty of outdoor activities and wonderful proximity to the Lake!
Property was very clean and the description was accurate. Great location. We were there in late July and the lake was a little bit of a walk from the house, which is to be expected this time of year. We loved our stay and would highly recommend it to others!
This house was perfect in every way, the communication with the owner was great. We would love to stay there again! Kitchen and sleeping spaces were excellent. Large family gathering and everyone was as so happy.
This home is amazing! It was perfect for our large family to be able to enjoy the lake and be close to the Sugarloaf Marina. I love Shasta and this will be the only place we stay when we vacation here!
This is the 3rd or 4th time we have stayed at this home. It is perfect for our family. It comes fully stocked with everything you need for a great vacation. I’m sure we will be booking again next year!
The location of the house was awesome. We could walk to our boat at Sugarloaf. We cook, and the kitchen had every item we needed plus more. We really appreciated the space. Great place to gather family.
The location is fantastic, the house itself is gorgeous and the owners have thought of everything. The best equipped kitchen ever, games, and every wonderful little touch your can imagine. Our favorite spot on Shasta!
Property was as pictured and fully stocked. The lake level was full which made the patio view and lake access excellent. Will definitely stay her in the future!
We had a wonderful stay at Marc and Tammy's home. The home is fantastic, the view was great and with the lake level up we walked right from the home to the water. The location was walking distance to the Sugarloaf Marina as well. Would definitely stay again. Thank you Marc and Tammy!
We had our family and extended family with us. With a large range of ages, and there was something for everyone to do. The house is beautiful and clean with all cooking utensils and amenities you could want at the lake. We were able to keep our boats close And the paddle boards and kayaks were a great addition. Thank you for letting us enjoy your house.
This is a large and beautiful house in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to Lake Shasta. The house is very clean and is described well in VRBO. It's definitely a 5 star accommodation. I knocked the check-in process down one start since the front door lock was stuck and it took a while for us to get into the house the first time. It's been fixed.
The location was perfect for boating. The house was clean and had everything we needed for our family of eight. It was spacious enough so we didn't feel crowded. We enjoyed spending time together on the large patio in the mornings and evenings. Seeing deer while having coffee in the morning was a bonus. Marc was quick to respond to any questions I had. I highly recommend this house. It will not disappoint. Thank you, Marc, for sharing your lovely home.

About the host
Hosted by Lori and David Raun
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
