Secluded Romantic Getaway Overlooking Shasta Lake
DreamView Lake House — A Private Romantic Retreat Above Shasta Lake
DreamView Lake House is a rare, secluded ridgetop retreat overlooking Shasta Lake in Northern California. Set on 140 acres of private land and surrounded by forest and open sky, this peaceful escape offers sweeping lake and mountain views, complete privacy, and a quiet atmosphere designed for couples, small families, and guests seeking meaningful time away from everyday life. Well-behaved dogs are welcome with prior disclosure.
From the moment you arrive, the pace slows. There are no neighboring homes, no traffic, and no city noise—just forest, water, and stillness. Mornings begin with coffee and birdsong. Evenings end with sunsets, stargazing, and long soaks in the built-in, in-deck hot tub overlooking the lake.
A Setting Designed for Romance, Rest & Reconnection
DreamView was thoughtfully designed for romantic getaways, anniversaries, honeymoons, intimate birthdays, and quiet escapes. Unlike most vacation rentals located in residential neighborhoods, this home offers true seclusion and uninterrupted views, creating a sense of retreat that’s increasingly rare.
The home features abundant indoor and outdoor living space, expansive windows framing the lake, and a warm, comfortable layout ideal for slowing down together. Whether you’re cooking an unhurried meal, enjoying a quiet evening on the deck, or relaxing together in the in-deck hot tub beneath open skies, DreamView invites you to be present.

Dreamview is exactly as Ken describes it - breathtaking, private and the perfect retreat. Sitting in the hot tub at night in the midst of the rolling clouds that made way for the starts was perfect!Communication, cleanliness and ease of directions as well as entry made our weekend getaway seamless.
Best view I’ve seen yet. We were able to see a deer roaming in the field. The property is well kept and the owner was very helpful. Definitely coming back.

Nice house. Best for a couple. Two bedrooms; downstairs had two beds, but a nice bathroom. We used upstairs room then went downstairs for shower. It had a great view of the lake and a nice deck. There were a lot of cleaning rules for the stay, which was interesting because there was a cleaning fee and a pet fee. It was a nice place though. Very Private. There is a pool table we used a lot. Didn’t use the hot tub because temperatures outside were 109 degrees.

Beautiful location
The property was gorgeous and the view from the deck was breathtaking. Living near a major city with all the light pollution that comes with it, I don't get to see the stars much. I loved laying out on the deck at night, looking at the shooting stars and the Milky Way. The beds were comfortable and the rain shower was a great way to wake up. The only complaint is the book full of rules that wasn't mentioned in the listing. There were a lot of rules.

Beautiful property and amazing view!
Absolutely lovely property with amazing views from both decks. A wonderful way to spend a quiet weekend with a couple of friends. Property is clean and owners have thought of everything you might need in the kitchen down to ZipLock baggies. The only negative was the TV downstairs did not work during our entire stay and when I contacted the owners, they were unable to get someone to look at it while we were there. Not a huge deal, but it was a bummer. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our long weekend away. Thinking of making it an annual occurrence. Thank you!

Wow! my wife and I spent our 37th Anniversary at this amazing house that has one of the most spectacular views of lake Shasta, on top of that it is in a secluded area we’re you hear no one and no one can hear you! Ken was more than a gracious host he answered all questions and had one of the most amazing book collection I seen in a long time. My wife took a picture of most of them to add to our collection. If you want the most amazing time to relax unwind sharpen your axe this is truly a Dream House!

Spectacular views and location
Overall, we loved this dog-friendly property and our 7-day stay and would definitely return.
The owner was gregarious, communicative, and informative regarding the history of the vast property (book the venue to be similarly informed). The owner called and texted a number of times to follow up during and near the conclusion of our stay.
The 180-degree views of the mountains and Lake Shasta were beyond our expectations. Acorn Woodpeckers, Steller's Jays, Columbian Black-tailed Deer including juveniles, and Western Gray Squirrels were each almost daily visitors.
Nearby marvels included first snows at Mount Shasta and Lassen Peak. Our friends and family members marveled at our photo posts. The recovering burn scar at the Whiskeytown-Shasta-Trinity National Recreational Area was spellbinding with recovering flora and fauna. Osprey nests were abundant, and we sighted several Turkey Vultures and Osprey.
We enjoyed adult beverages on both decks and/or in the jacuzzi every evening at the rental.
The one and only downside was that neither the washer nor the dryer were functional and there were no alternatives. Since we had only packed for 7 days on our 14-day vacation, we had to hope against hope that our subsequent 7-day stay had an operational washer and dryer.

Views for days!
The view in the pictures is exactly what you get - awe inspiring! The double deck with glass was perfect for us and our dogs. Lots of welcome notes, candy, treats for our dogs were there to welcome us.
Two story setup was perfect for staying with a group. I don't think I fully understand the set up downstairs, as it's two beds in one room and another room within that room with another bed - everyone shares one bathroom. It just means people in the outside two beds have to share a room, no privacy. Great for people who bring kids, a little awkward for adult couples.
We really enjoyed our time here. Spacious living room, super quiet location, hot tub, pool table - awesome. We hope to be able to come back in the summer when we can enjoy the lake.
Ken checked in daily, to see if we needed anything. Great host, amazing house, highly recommend. **

Unsafe, please don't go
The property is fairly remote on a mountainside. We experienced a snowstorm that cut the power. This would normally be fine, and isn't unexpected for a winter in Shasta, but the owners neglected to install a fireplace, stove, generator, backup kerosene heater, or any other auxiliary heat source. There weren't even matches or lighters in case of a true emergency. We explained the power outage situation to the owner and were simply told to vacate the premises.
The road is not maintained by the city, so on our way out we were driving over 4-5 inches of snow. We had to drag a bunch of downed trees out of the way to escape the mountainside. Luckily they were small enough for two people to move because the owner didn't store an axe or chainsaw, either. Things could have gone really, really badly.
This property is irresponsibly equipped and should not be rented out in the winter.
The owners expressed no concern, offers to help, or refund.

AMAZING VIEW and outdoor amenities
The view from pretty much anywhere on the property is so breathtaking it feels almost unnatural. The house is very clean and very well taken care of by the owner. The kitchen is stocked and well equipped for cooking. We really enjoyed our short stay.
My problem with the description of the property is that the house has 2 actual bedrooms. The supposed 3rd bedroom is a common space on the first floor that was converted to look like a bedroom. The room doesn't have a door to the upper floor and is the only way to get into the second bedroom . We rented it for just our tiny family of 3 + 2 grandparents so the space worked for us. It won't work for anything more so people should be made aware . The bedding provided felt very old and insufficient for the luxury level of the property this is.

Amazing View and fun family games
You never get tired of staring at the beautiful view of the lake, hills, and forest. Home has a lot of games to play like corn hole, foos ball, and pool table. Home has everything you need. Great vacation home for teens and adults. My two large dogs loved the daily hikes and swimming in the lake. Couple of things to know if you bring your dog. There is no place to play ball or frisbee with your dog at the house. The designated place for your 4 legged baby to go is open and right below the pave road where cars and UPS trucks go up and down. For being on 140 acre private forest there really is no hiking trails next to the house due to the pave road being narrow and used by cars to get to other homes that are on the private road. To be safe you are driving to the hiking trails. Friends and other family love the pictures and memories we share that they are looking at reserving the house.

Owner answers questions quickly and helped whenever asked. The view can't be duplicated. Abundant supplies for the house... toilet paper, paper towels, tin foil, zip locks, etc. Clean and open. One bedroom downstairs is totally open and you can hear everything. So early morning talking must happen outside... and with the view it's not a bad deal😁
