About this property

The Happy Bear Lodge

This dreamy log cabin has everything you need for the best family vacation! Make your trip to Northern California one to remember with The Happy Bear Lodge as your home base! From skiing or wake boarding to fishing, hiking and boating! Happy Bear is sure to leave you and your family feeling refreshed and fulfilled after your stay! You will truly leave with memories of your time at The Happy Bear Lodge as one of the greatest family vacations you and your kids have ever had!



You will have full access to your new home! The Happy Bear Lodge has 4 bedrooms and 2 and a half baths with plenty of space to spread out and read a good book by the cozy fire or in the large 2 person soaking tub. Grab your kiddos and head down the little trail around the cabin to the fire pit for s`mores and stories while observing the fully lit fun center just across the foliage. From the sauna to the old movies and the kids play area. We`ve thought of everything so you don`t have to. This cabin was made for kids to have fun and parents to relax and it`s the perfect blend of those two things. We can`t wait to host you.



The Oasis Fun Center is not part of this property but it is right next door and we have a great relationship with them!



* Please keep in mind that because we are so close to the Oasis Fun Center, there is a potential for noise during their hours of operation (Su-Th 12-9 and Fr-Sa 12-10pm)`

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful Lake Shasta cabin. The place was very clean and extremely comfortable. The master bedroom downstairs was spacious, with its own kitchen and sofa, making it feel like a private suite. Bathrooms and showers were modern and well kept.The highlight for me was the extra-large dining table surrounded by round windows, high ceilings, and gorgeous log construction — the perfect setting for making memories with friends. The decorations were unique and charming, from the metal saw art to the bear and deer touches. The marble kitchen was well equipped, making cooking together easy and enjoyable.The only things we wished for were a bathroom upstairs (since we were five older couples and going up and down at night was a bit challenging) and that the cabin was set a little farther back from the main road for added privacy. Still, the elegant spiral staircase and the overall charm of the home made those details easy to overlook.Overall, we 100% recommend this cabin for anyone looking for a clean, cozy, and memorable getaway at Lake Shasta!

Lovely

My family stayed couple days next to house arcade and speed car for kids and mini golf. It was a great experience, the house was warm, and the arcade/mini golf area was great for our kids. They loved it.

Great cabin for family get-together

The rustic cabin exceeded our expectations for our family get together. The cabin provided comfortable sleeping space for our party of 12. The cabin was well stocked with everything one would need, including cooking utensils and other supplies. Christie is a great host and helped make our trip enjoyable. We liked the large wooden table for our meals. Nice being close to the fun center.
