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.

Home well stocked with amazing views and lake access

Our family rented two houses for a mini family reunion. Everyone had a great time, ages 1 to 73 years old and an array of ages in between! We all agree that this was one of the most well appointed VRBO homes we’ve ever stayed in, including anything one would need in an emergency. We all loved the layout of this home, the big windows and wrap around deck, especially the spacious master bedroom. I absolutely love that kayaks were provided as well as life vests in all sizes. The only thing we’d change is that next time we will come when the lake level is higher so that we don’t have to haul the boating gear as far up the hill when we’re finished on the water.

Awesome!!

We stayed here in July and it was awesome to anchor the boats in front of the house! Water was close enough for many daily swims and paddle boarding ❤️ the host communicated instantly and we had a wonderful time.

Small family reunion with ample space in house number 3

Writing this review for house number 3. We had more than enough room for everyone, and the house was very comfortable. The front decking was a gem. We did a lot of hanging out here as it was well shaded and plenty of chairs and a couple of tables. It was quite warm so only a couple people use the jacuzzi but commented that it was clean and well kept. It is a two story so the very top room is a loft with open air which made this room a little hot.The air conditioning doesn't work as well up there. But all in all was still comfortable. Like I said I think it was 102 the second day we were there. Which brings us all down to the lake for happy memories. The terrain is a little sloped all around so be aware of this especially if you have small children. We had one. A bit rocky but the benefit of having rocks over sand is that you don't have a lot of muck being stirred up so I did appreciate that. It kept the water clear and nice for swimming. Had a great time and had great hosts. Thank you! Response time for email questions was quick as well. Great family reunion at Shasta Lake House number 3.:-)

Always a great stay!!

Lori & Dave do a fantastic job with their rentals. They go out of the way to provide a great experience and stay in communication to ensure you have no issues or questions. The place was fantastic! We have not been disappointed with any of our stays. This is our 4th year renting here.

Working Retreat!

My company had a three week project in Redding and thought this retreat would be a great opportunity for the men to stay instead of typical hotel rooms for 3 weeks. My installers really enjoyed the space, home cooking and relaxing on the porch! A little fishing at the lake in the evening! Everything was outstanding, the home, the condition of everything and the hosts Dave and Lori! Would not hesitate to book this great retreat again. Thank You!

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 :)

Beautiful house

This house is absolutely beautiful. It is a little dated as others have stated, but it adds to the charm. Plenty of room for everybody in our group. Very quick walk down to the lake and we enjoyed the kayaks out on the lake for multiple days. Having satellite TV was a huge plus for my family who loves sports. They even left us a bottle of margarita as a welcoming gift. I would definitely recommend this house. You won’t be sorry.

Our favorite vacation

We’ve been renting retreat number three since summer 2020. It’s become our absolute favorite vacation! We come for 10 days and bring our two small babies and our family and our dogs. The house is so amazing and we love the location. We are so grateful that the Rauns allow us to bring our dogs to enjoy the lake too! This has become our family tradition and we can’t wait to come back next summer 2024! Thank you to Dave and Lori for being so accommodating. Love the Penna family ❤️

You will not be disappointed

Stayed here for 15 days. With the water up so far this year you could not be closer. The home needs updated baths and kitchen but we knew that going in, no surprises. Level into the home, once you drive down the driveway, 3 bedrooms on main level which is great for those who cant deal with stairs. 2 other bedrooms upstairs that can get warm but a supplies air conditioner and fans helped manage the heat. We were able to store our SeaDoo in the water with our own buoy which was fun. We opted to rent a slip at the dock that was an easy walk from the home. Owners were amazingly attentive and I cant wait to see how they spruce it up over the off season…we will definitely be back

Nice place on the lake

House has a great view of the lake and is conveniently located. As others have stated, house is dated, but very well kept. Was immaculate upon our arrival. The hosts were very accommodating and friendly. They include a well thought out welcome basket with your stay. Most of our time was spent on the lake, so we didn't enjoy many of the amenities that are available with your stay. Overall, a good experience and wouldn't hesitate to rent from them 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!

A functional property

The interior was clean, comfortable and spacious. Attention should be paid to the rollaway bed downstairs. The cloth that supports the mattress has come loose from the springs that connect it to the frame in some places. And the frame is quite wobbly. The exterior needs some work. The deck surface was muddy and deck furniture was dirty. There is a large, blackened stump in the yard, next to the hot tub.

Wonderful location! Will definitely be back

Loved the location of the property. Even though the lake is only 30% full, the view was still amazing. The house is slightly older but well kept. The host was responsive to all our inquiries. You could walk down to the lake, which was super convenient. Our little pup had a great time, along with our teenage boys. We had a Tesla Model 3, so we were not able to adjust the suspension to get down to the driveway but if you have a X or S, it might be ok. The nearest Tesla Supercharger is 30 minutes away in Mount Shasta, so keep that in mind.

Beautiful and peaceful place.. we stayed there for 3 nights at retreat #3, my mistake was not booking for the whole week. Windy and cold in spring but the house is very cozy. Our destinations are driving distances away.. i was worried about lake levels but we got to do what we wanted to do like kayaking.. backyard have an access to walk to the lake and that was pretty cool.

About the host

Hosted by Lori and David Raun

Host profile image
With over two decades of cherished family memories at Shasta Lake, we, David and Lori, came to regard Shasta Lake as the highlight of our summers. It's a place where families can bond, and where the range of activities appeals to every age group, making it the perfect spot for a family getaway.

Our love for Shasta Lake runs deep, leading us to make a life-changing decision in 2015 when we purchased our first lakefront home, known as Shasta Lakeshore Retreat #1. The incredible experiences we had here were simply too good not to share and we knew our houseboat days were over after staying in this home.

A year later, we acquired the property next door, now known as Shasta Lakeshore Retreat #2, bolstered by the popularity of our first home, which had become a year-round favorite.

In 2019, our two grown sons also fell in love with this wonderful place, prompting them to buy a home on the same charming street, christened as Shasta Lakeshore Retreat #3. They entrusted us with its management, a responsibility we take to heart.

After many requests from dear friends and neighbors, in 2021 we started managing other properties, which further enriched our collection. Although we only own two of them, today, we proudly represent 18 remarkable homes, each carefully selected for its unique charm, quality, and comfort. We firmly believe that an extraordinary home is the foundation of an unforgettable getaway, and we want nothing less than perfection for our valued guests.

Our journey doesn't end here; it's an ongoing adventure inspired by our passion for Shasta & the surrounding areas. We are committed to carefully expanding our offerings, reviewing additional unique homes to provide more options for all the wonderful families that come to visit this recreational area year after year providing them a much needed lodging option.

Warm regards,
David and Lori
