Absolutely Amazing Stay!

Lori and Dave were incredible hosts—responsive, thoughtful, and welcoming. The cabin was absolutely immaculate and stocked with everything you could possibly need. This is by far the most impressive rental I’ve ever stayed at. The kitchen was fully equipped, which made it so easy to cook without having to improvise or bring extra gear. Communication was top-notch before, during, and even after our stay. We loved it so much, we’ve already booked our return trip!

Nice house, great location, breathtaking views!

I rented this house for a girl's trip, for my daughter's 30th birthday. There were 7 of us staying at the house. The house was clean, well stocked and easy to find. Plenty of comfortable beds, and the living room / dining room easily accommodated us all. The water level was low during our stay, but the lake was still just a very short walk to get to. We all really enjoyed our weekend - I would rent here again.

Love being walking distance to the water. With the large deck we can enjoy the great views and have easy access to the water. This year we anchored the boat off shore so were able to play on the shoreline while having easy access to the boat, music, etc. Just hope the marina w/gas comes back soon!

Fantastic Lake front multi-family rental

We had the BEST time at Retreat 3. It is right on the lake, very easy access down to the water (when lake is full). It is super safe for children and parents can watch from the porch. The house is VERY well equipped. We wanted for nothing. The entire house was comfortable for our group of 8 - had plenty of room to spread out and hang around. The outside mini fridge, bbq and patio set were awesome for late nights. We will be back again soon!

Perfect!

Our Shasta vacation was perfect thanks to having a house that met all of our needs. Plenty of room for everyone to gather together or find a quiet space. All of the beds were comfortable and clean. The master bedroom felt like it's own guesthouse! The covered porch was perfect for dining, playing games and watching the action on the lake. We'll be back for sure!

Cozy Family Getaway for the Holidays

The house is beautiful! Great view, right next to the lake. We stayed in the winter during the holiday season and loved looking out and seeing the snow-covered mountains and trees. The house was clean and well maintained. The owners were kind, helpful, and communicated often. We have a large family so it was nice getting to spend the holidays relaxing under the same roof. Highly recommend!

Amazing View and comfortable house

We loved Retreat #3. Very clean when we arrived and smelled clean. House was comfortable and very well equipped. Newly remodeled kitchen was nice. House is older but you can tell it has been well taken care of. The view of the lake was absolutely AMAZING! Very close to Sugarloaf Marina. The driveway was very steep and not ideal to park your boat in the driveway, but not bad for your cars and trucks. If I had any complaint at all, it would be the bed pillows were very flat. That’s just not my thing and I will bring my own next time I stay. We will be staying here again.

Great Family Lake House

We have a large family and this house was perfect, everyone fit and had plenty of space to spread out. We loved The fact that it is lakefront makes it so easy to access the water. We loved having the extra water toys the house supplied, every kid had something to use in the water. Kitchen was fully equipped and had everything our family forgot. All in all we had a great time. Will stay again for our next family function. 5 stars! Highly recommend for families :)

The wooden floor is beautiful, but it felt a little greasy. I'm not sure if it's from the cleaning or care product used on the wood, but as someone who likes to walk barefoot, I could really feel it. On the last day, I also found a couple of insects in the main room, though fortunately they weren't anything dangerous.The view of the lake is amazing and very relaxing. However, it looks very different from the photos. The drought has significantly lowered the water level.Overall, the cabin is very cozy and spacious, with everything you need for your vacation. The hosts are very kind and respond promptly.
