Special $ Now - Awesome Lake Views - Single Floor - Shasta Lakeshore Retreat #5

SHASTA LAKESHORE RETREAT #5. This home is one of the 18 fine lake homes part of the Shasta Lakeshore Retreat collection supporting up to 220 guests.

Warm, clean retreat with different themes in each room. Great views of the lake and mountains. This home was remodeled in 2022 in the main area (living room & kitchen). Lots of windows, high ceiling, open and beautiful wood flooring. Three large sliders open up the area to the wonderful outdoors and large covered deck. This deck is fully covered which is great year around to get out of the hot sun in the summer and enjoy outside a winter or spring rain shower sitting next to the heat lamp and gas fire pit.

The home is all on one floor which is nice for those that do not want to use the stairs. Access into the home is easy.

Each of the three bedrooms have a specific theme. Two full baths and laundry room just across the hall.

Unlike most vacation rentals, this home has two large refrigerators for those guests staying the week or have large groups.

The home has great views. It is just set back a little with a trail down to the water for your use.

If you have a larger party, Retreat 1 and Retreat 2 are directly next door. Those three homes will support up to 34 guests. Retreat 3 and 4 are also a few houses down on the same street.

All our homes have central air conditioning and heating.

- Truck/Boat/Car/ATV Parking on good sized level driveway. No Rv'S or Campers.

- Sugarloaf Boat County Boat Ramp is close by. The marina location and moorage availability is dependent on lake level. This house is the closest to the marina of all our homes.

- Shoreline anchor also available. Use caution.

- Majority of boaters choose Shasta as their favorite Lake in California! Warm water during summer, many fingers to ski/board with calm water, massive dam, fishing everywhere, and multiple marinas to fuel the boat. Over 365 miles of shoreline to explore. Most shoreline in California.

- Plenty of relaxing time to view wildlife from the deck while you have a cup of coffee in the morning or favorite drinks in the evening.

- Multiple forest service country roads for ATV's and hiking to explore close by. Bring your ATVs!

- ADDITIONAL PHOTOS (over 1000) and multiple videos can be found on our website plus lots of information about the area, marinas, boat ramps, lake level, places to eat, things to do and so much more.

We book up early...the 2025 and 2026 calendars are open.

BEST INFO WEBSITE FOR SHASTA AREA:

Whether you stay with us or not, make sure you go to our heavily used Shasta Area Information Page. It will provide you information and links to almost everything including info on the lake, marina, lake level, boat ramps, things to do, places to visit, place to eat and so much more. To get there, do a search for "shasta lakeshore retreat" and then "Area Info." Over 35 thousands of people visit this page monthly.

For more information please see our website by doing a search for "shasta lakeshore retreat".

*IMPORTANT: Check Lake Level on our website for info and photos or Contact us for the latest updates. Summer 2021 and 2022 Lake Levels were lower than years prior. Although most of our guests still have a great time at any water level, we want to make sure you understand the dynamics of this reservoir. The lake may or may not fill up any given year but we will keep guests updated and offer a full refund up to 60 days before arrival if any guest has concerns on water level. If the lake drops below 140' down, this starts to impact the availability of the local boat ramp and marina requiring travel to another part of the lake. Again, see our website for the latest info and photos of lake at different levels. Forest Fires are also common in Northern California which may blow smoke in the area during the summer and fall. Guest with health concerns or worry about air quality should avoid visiting Northern California during the peak summer seasons. Check our website for current conditions and weather alerts.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Peaceful area with beautiful views

The property was clean and comfortable. There was a gorgeous view off of the deck and we spent some time just relaxing in the comfortable chairs provided out there. The neighborhood was quiet. We saw deer every evening when we returned to the house. The host was excellent! On the first day, they checked in to make sure that ever was good and they were helpful with questions/easy to reach and quick to respond.

Great Week at Shasta Lake

I've stayed at several properties through VRBO over the past 20+ years and usually have a few gripes I think to myself. But I was pleasantly surprised with Retreat #5. It was a great lakehouse with everything needed and the AC kept churning in 110 degree heat the whole time. The cell service isn't great, but it was good to tune out for a while. And when the lake is full and beautiful it just makes the whole trip. Great job by Lori and Dave with this property and all those neat little marketing touches they apply. Highly recommend.

Family retreat

This place was great! The owners thought of many extras that made the stay enjoyable. The extra fridge out on deck, the seating on deck, the black-stone and b que, the ping pong table the corn hole and the bedrooms and house had so many little decor details that just made it perfect Loved the large patio doors that overlooked the lake and pines. We had deer in the am and rabbits and woodpeckers all come greet us in the early morning it was just great!

Wonderful Visit to Lake Shasta

We had an amazing time in Lake Shasta and the house was just awesome. There was plenty of room in the house for all of us and the kids loved playing ping pong. It was only a short drive to our boat each day, which was great. Most importantly, Sherri was a fantastic host. When we had questions, she would respond immediately and she made everything really easy. I am definitely looking forward to returning next summer.

Hasta be shasta

It was great—to no fault of the hosts the water is super low so our lakefront rental was more of a in the mountains rental. But we were able to rent a slip nearby for the week so we made the best of it. Love the way the house was decorated. The two fridges were a definite plus. My advice is to go shopping before you get there. Had to go to Redding which is about a half an hour away.

Perfect Lakeside Spot

This was an excellent location just minutes from the lake. It was perfect for our family 5 adults and 3 kids. Ample amount of space. We really enjoyed having the lake so close but also being able to cool off indoors. It was perfect for kids as well - 1 year old could safely toddle around and the older kids enjoyed cornhole and ping pong. Sherri was incredibly communicative from booking to our stay. Highly recommend!

Perfect

The home is located perfectly for a family fun vacation on Lake Shasta. Close to boat launch, store, gas, restaurants and most of all the lake. The neighborhood is a cute little community that takes pride in their homes. The house was perfect for the 6 of us and we decided there was plenty of room for more. The house was clean with plenty of seating and comfy beds. The deck is large and overlooks the lake, it was our favorite spot to hang out. The kitchen is situated nicely so you can be cooking and still feel like your with the group. The host was easy to contact and was very friendly. We will definitely book this beautiful home in the future.

Relaxing getaway

This place accommodated two families conveniently. The weather was in three digits when we stayed, but the AC kept us cool. We thoroughly enjoyed relaxing at the deck after a full day of swimming and fishing activities at the lake. The only downside was not being able to receive or place a call, for our cell phones had no bar. Glad Wi-Fi was available. Overall, I would highly recommend this lakefront house.

Great house for family with teens

Our family of four just spent a wonderful week here. We all agreed it was perfect. We spent most of our time out on the deck: early morning reading with coffee and tea (ok, the teens were still sleeping), dinners (the chairs were super comfy) and game nights. The AC was much appreciated when the heat got too much. Wifi was excellent. We were a late booking and all the speed boats were booked for Shasta Lake so we ended up booking at Trinity Lake. The 1.5 hour drive was worth it as Trinity Lake was lovely and perfect for tubing/waterskiing. Also got up early one morning to go paddling and a refreshing swim at Castle Lake further north. The house is really in a great location!

Great house and easy access to lake

We had a great time at Lake Shasta. The house was well equipped with everything we needed. The decor was fun and my teenage kids loved the ping pong table and overall vibe of the house. It was a super fast and easy walk to the lake and our boat (we kept it at a slip at Sugarloaf Marina). The owner was great to work with and very responsive. I would highly recommend this lake house.
