Vacation with family and friends

Absolutely breathtaking!!! Went up with my daughters and friend. Im already planning to go back next year! The wildlife was to die for we saw a white squirrel, bunch of deer, amazing birds along with some cool critters. They have trails down to the water. I would suggest 100% bring water shoes to make getting out easier. There is no shade to keep your dog down there but just for a dip and back to the house. I left with tears of joy in my eyes!! Until next year Lake Shasta!! Thank you for this experience!!!

We stayed at Retreat 1 for our son's birthday. Great location, easy access to water. House was super cute and clean. Nice having master bedroom upstairs and then rest of bedrooms downstairs.

What a great place! Exactly as described; the house had everything we needed as we enjoyed a relaxing weekend. The view of the lake was priceless. Great walking distance to the marina to watch the boats and get some ice cream with the kids. Would definitely love to come back and rent a boat next time. Dave & Lori were great and friendly hosts.

Great house for a friends reunion.

We stayed at the lake house for five nights in October. We had everything we needed! The weather was a mix of rain and sun, and on the rainy days we were perfectly happy to stay home and enjoy the views, the wildlife, the hot tub, and the well stocked kitchen. We appreciated the water pressure and nice hot water in the showers. Plenty of space to hang out and play games or watch movies. Our favorite was probably just hanging out on the deck talking and enjoying the view.
