Loved everything about our Stay! Felt like being home

This place feels like if I had a lake house that it should be mine! Feels like home and so comfortable on all levels. Enjoyed being right on the lake and the views are wonderful. Having the paddle boards as an extra was the best, just walking out the of the house revery morning and evening for a relaxing float on the lake was my favorite.

Wonderful Experience at Retreat # 3

We stayed here eight nights and the house was amazing. The home was very clean when we arrived. Well stocked with amenities including wood burning fireplace, hot tub, hammock and kayaks. We had all our meals on the outside deck, which had a beautiful view of the lake.I have rented many homes throughout my years and Lori, the host, is the best. Always got right back to me when I reached out to her. The whole process was exceptional organized and communicated in a timely manor.

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!

Thank you Jamie for your kind words. We appreciated your ease of communication and your understanding of the conditions that impacted the lake level due to our CA drought.

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!

It was certainly a pleasure hosting your family this summer, David.

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!

About the host

Hosted by Lori and David Raun

Host profile image
Shasta Lake has been a special place for our family for more than two decades. What started as summer vacations with our kids became a lasting love for the lake, the outdoors, and the memories families can create here.

We purchased our first lakefront home in 2015 and quickly realized how much we enjoyed sharing the Shasta Lake experience with others. Over time, that passion grew into helping guests find comfortable, well-cared-for homes where they can relax, reconnect, and enjoy everything the area has to offer.

Every home we host is selected with guest comfort in mind, and we take pride in providing a clean, welcoming, and memorable stay. Whether you are boating, hiking, fishing, exploring, or simply enjoying time with family and friends, we hope your visit becomes part of your own Shasta Lake tradition.

Why they chose this property

Incredible lake, mountain, and wildlife views, just a short stroll to the lake, marina, and boat ramp (depending on lake level). Prepare to fall in love with this exceptional home. Your dream getaway awaits! You will love this home. It is a guest favorite and books up fast.

What makes this property unique
