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.

Optional Concierge Services (By Request)

For guests who would like to enhance their stay, optional concierge-style services may be arranged in advance, subject to availability and additional cost.

These may include:

Grocery pre-stocking

Romantic or special-occasion staging

Light grocery shopping or restocking during longer stays

Pricing varies based on the service requested. Advance notice is recommended so arrangements can be made prior to arrival. Please reach out after booking if you’d like more information or to customize your stay.

Work From Anywhere — Without Giving Up the View

For guests who wish to combine rest with productivity, DreamView offers exceptional high-speed Wi-Fi, among the fastest available on Shasta Lake. The peaceful setting, reliable connectivity, and inspiring views make it an ideal work-from-anywhere escape—allowing you to stay connected during the day and fully unplug after hours.

Location: Secluded Yet Convenient

DreamView is located just minutes from the I-5 corridor, making arrival easy while still feeling a world away from everyday life. The property sits above the McCloud Arm of Shasta Lake and offers access to nearby marinas, forest roads, and miles of surrounding national forest.

With over 30,000 acres of public land nearby, guests enjoy walking access toward the lake, forest exploration, and the kind of quiet only found far from city lights.

A Quiet, Well-Cared-For Home

DreamView has been welcoming guests for nearly 19 years and has earned hundreds of five-star reviews. The home is meticulously maintained and thoughtfully managed to ensure comfort, cleanliness, and peace of mind. A dedicated local team prepares the home between stays with fresh linens, thorough cleaning, and careful attention to detail.

For convenience and safety, the home offers self check-in and self check-out.

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.

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.

Lovely Relaxed Stay

Our group of 4 was looking for a relaxed New Years stay and that is exactly what we got! The house was comfortable and private, and Ken was a very attentive host. I would definitely recommend this stay to a friend and would absolutely stay again!

Beautiful view

We loved our stay. The view of the mountains and lake were the best we've had of any other property that we've stayed at. The hot tub, pool table, Foosball, and corn hole toss were perfect to keep us entertained.

Very Good

Everything was very good. The views were awesome! The only thing I would suggest is more silverware and some carpet cleaning in the living room. The pet odor was pretty strong. We have pets so I know how that goes unfortunately. But, the house was amazing and will stay again in the future.

Perfect Thanksgiving!

I cannot put into words how breathtaking the views are from the back porch. Every morning and evening were made by watching the sunrise or set in the distance. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful with suggestions of things to do in the local area. Overall would recommend this house to anyone for any occasion. Would LOVE to go back!!

Fantastic Mountain Getaway!

We had the most wonderful time as a family! Thank you so much Ken (and Lori!) for making it truly special. They went above and beyond to answer questions especially for a family with a small child, check in and out was smooth and easy, and even helped set up a birthday surprise for our arrival. The location is absolutely stunning - the view from the deck really outshines any photo you can take! Gorgeous site and wonderful hosts. Thank you again!

Thanksgiving Fun

We had a great stay at Ken and Ashley's home. The view is fantastic. The kitchen and living room are even better than the pictures. The owners were always available. The tile work and hard wood floors make this house very classy for the mountains. It is wonderfully quiet out in the country, but not too far away. Thanks, Jen

Just the best!

This is by far the best place I've ever stayed. The view was incredible!! Everything was so clean and I really appreciated the check- in process. Ken and Lori were so pleasant to work with, they even gave me recommendations to do in the area. Coming from the city, it was amazing getting to see so many stars and being in the absolute silence out on the property. This is my favorite place to get away and I am excited to book again the next time I'm on vacation! Thank you again Ken and Lori for the amazing stay!

Our second stay at Dreamview

This place is as advertised. Great location and well appointed. The downstairs beds are very firm, which wasn't that comfortable for our group, but we were tired from the lake so it was fine-lol. The best feature of this property is the responsive owner/manager. They are really on top of it! Would go back for sure.

dreamy anniversary

My husband and I have been vrboing on our anniversary every spring in good fishing locations throughout northern California & southern Oregon. Our bar for scenic, private accommodation is pretty high & Dreamview is top notch! We were lucky enough to get a sunbathing day, a record setting bass fishing day, a massive thunderstorm day (amazing from this house!), a five movies in the robe couch day, and a double rainbow sunset!! Fully appointed, friendly hosts, convenience, luxury, world class view!

Very Nice Customized House and Great View

DreamView is just like the picture, very nice and tranquil. It's an adults only house. We have a big group with kids, and we rent both houses, so we put the grandparents in this house. I think they have a good time. Location of this house is very convenient for touring around. Cavern and Bridge Bay are all in 10 min driving distance.

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.

Wonderfully Relaxing Getaway

I spent 6 days in Ken and Ashley's place during early October and had a great time. The views are unforgetabally beautiful. I took many great photos that allow me to escape back to that relaxing time. Ken and Ashley were so helpful in helping us plan our sightseeing adventures. There are so many "bucket-lisi" items that are literally just around the corner from this place we needed an extra week to be able to get to all the sites. Thanks so much to Ken and Ashley for all their hospitality. Looking forward to coming again soon.

Quiet & Relaxing!

Life has been non-stop for us & with work & kids & everything in-between it is hard to get a quiet moment alone & almost impossible to get an entire afternoon or evening, but we got just that & so much more during our recent visit & stay at the DreamView House. We highly recommend this spot if you are looking for something that you truly cannot get anywhere else. This place is one of a kind & has an incredibly amazing view & offers a peaceful tranquility that has to be experienced. We will 110% be booking again & looking forward to staying even longer next time! Ashley & Ken were great hosts & made us feel right at home!

Wow! What a great vacation!

My husband and I loved the Dream View. It was even prettier than the pictures. Everything you could need was there. Every room is beautiful and the views are spectacular and heavenly!! We enjoyed our stay and so appreciated the suggestions on places to see given us by Ken. He was so po!ite and friendly, we enjoyed our visit with him. We travel every year and always stay in a vacation home, and we can honestly say this has been the best one yet. Thank you Ken and Ashley for sharing your home with us and for being such gracious hosts. It was a soul renewing experience. We will be back again next year.

My lovely bride and I spent 2 nights at dream view. The views are spectacular, words can't describe, you have to go to see and enjoy! We got to watch the harvest moon along with the blood moon. That' s an amazing memory we will have. Watching the deer was a wonderful treat also! I asked Ashley and Ken to have roses delivered, my wife really enjoyed them! Thank you very much, she was surprised. All in all, it was a wonderful time. Thank you very much you have a wonderful place, we will be back.

About the host

Hosted by Ken or Lori

Host profile image
Know Your Host

DreamView Lake House is owned and thoughtfully cared for by Ken Tellstrom, founder of Shasta Lake Properties. Raised on the south side of Chicago, Ken developed an early appreciation for hard work, craftsmanship, and the outdoors.

With more than 30 years of experience as a general contractor, Ken brings a builder’s eye and a deep respect for quality to every detail of the home. His connection to Shasta Lake runs deep—he spent over a decade teaching wakeboarding on the lake and is a former professional world champion wakeboarder. That lifelong relationship with the water and surrounding landscape shapes the way DreamView is designed, maintained, and shared.

For over 19 years, Ken has hosted guests with a focus on privacy, comfort, and care. He is deeply committed to preserving the natural beauty of the surrounding forest and ecosystem, continually improving the property in ways that complement—rather than disturb—the land.

DreamView reflects Ken’s belief that a truly great stay comes from peace, intention, and creating space to slow down and reconnect.

Why they chose this property

This ridgetop setting offers something increasingly rare: true tranquility. DreamView is surrounded by forest, open land, and sweeping views of Shasta Lake, creating a peaceful escape where nature—not noise—sets the pace.

Mornings begin with sunrise and coffee on the deck, birdsong drifting through the trees. Days unfold quietly, whether you’re reading, exploring nearby forest roads, or simply enjoying the stillness. Evenings are made for sunset views, time in the in-deck hot tub, and nights beneath a sky filled with stars, untouched by city lights.

There are no neighboring homes, no traffic, and no distractions—just space to slow down and reconnect. However you choose to spend your time here, the experience is calm, restorative, and unhurried.

While the setting feels remote, help is never far. Your host lives locally and is available to answer questions or share recommendations for the area, allowing you to enjoy both privacy and peace of mind throughout your stay.

What makes this property unique

DreamView offers a level of privacy that is exceptionally rare on Shasta Lake. Accessed through a gated, private ridgetop road, the home is completely secluded—no neighboring houses, no traffic, and no shared space. Once you arrive, the setting feels entirely your own.

The views are equally distinctive. DreamView overlooks the McCloud Arm of Shasta Lake, widely considered one of the most scenic and peaceful stretches of the lake. From its elevated position, the home enjoys unobstructed sightlines across open water and surrounding mountains, with sunsets that shift the light and color throughout the evening.

Nature lovers and anglers appreciate the proximity to some of Northern California’s most celebrated waters. The McCloud, Sacramento, and Trinity Rivers—known for world-class, blue-ribbon fishing—are all within easy reach, offering remarkable access without sacrificing privacy or quiet.

Two expansive, multi-level decks extend the living space outdoors, creating ideal settings for morning coffee, relaxed meals, sunset viewing, and stargazing. Designed for peaceful enjoyment rather than gatherings, these outdoor spaces reinforce what makes DreamView special: space, stillness, and a deep connection to the surrounding landscape.
