Foxfell At Shasta Lake: A Magical Family-Sized Cabin Near The Lake w/ A+ Views
WELCOME TO FOXFELL AT SHASTA LAKE This enchanting mountain getaway by Shasta Lake is ideally located on 4 private acres in one of the most desirable areas for lake access, and bordered on 3 sides by forest land. Enjoy the beauty and serenity of a remote getaway while still conveniently located just a few short minutes from all the lake's best attractions: Shasta Caverns, Holiday Harbor, and more. Breathtaking nature views, a themed kids' room, luxurious amenities, and a thoughtfully designed interior make this a can’t-miss stay for both romantic getaways and family vacations.
PRIVATELY OWNED This home is owned and operated by a single-property private owner, and cared for by local neighbors. Sleep comfortably knowing your stay supports small businesses.
CAPACITY We can and are happy to accommodate up to 12 guests (max 9 adults,) but we think the space is most comfortable for a group of 8 or less.
SOME THINGS THAT SET THIS HOUSE APART…
SUPERIOR LOCATION We are ideally located on O'Brien Mountain, a highly sought-after area of the Shasta Lake region, with quick access to the widest areas of the lake, ensuring great opportunities for lake fun even when water levels are at their lowest, plus easy access to the nearby towns and cities. From our front door, you will be only 3-7 minutes from: the I-5, Holiday Harbor, Shasta Caverns, and popular public water access/boat launches/fishing and hiking spots. O’Brien Inlet, just below us, provides some of the very best bass fishing on the lake. You can also enjoy paved road all the way from the highway to our driveway.
AMPLE PRIVATE PARKING We have over 1600 sq. ft. of designated private parking space on the property, plus a 200+ ft. long driveway, plenty of room for multiple vehicles and your boats or other toys.
ENHANCED CONNECTIVITY We provide unlimited WiFi and a cell-phone signal booster to help you stay connected during your stay.
PEACE, PRIVACY, & GORGEOUS VIEWS Your only next-door neighbors are the deer, birds, and other forest wildlife. The house features an abundance of large windows, providing plenty of natural light and a restorative scenic view from every single room. Enjoy bird watching amongst the treetops, colorful sunsets, and incredible star-gazing all right from the living room couch if you like.
NEWLY RENOVATED Every room has been either fully or partially renovated and/or refurbished during 2025-2026. We’ve made great efforts to ensure Foxfell is more than just beds to sleep in, but also a combination of rustic charm and modern amenities that feels like home.
THE ROOMS AND OTHER SPACES…
The unique floor plan provides a combination of areas both cozy and spacious.
LIVING ROOM The living room features a wood-burning stove nestled into an impressive floor-to-ceiling stone alcove, a 50-inch smart TV, and giant 2-story windows with a dazzling scenic view. It also features a pull-out sofa for when a little extra sleeping space is required.
BEDROOM 1: THE LOFT SUITE *sleeps up to 3 comfortably* Upstairs, you'll find the primary suite, the Loft Suite.

The bedroom boasts a luxurious California King bed, high vaulted ceiling, and another 50-inch smart TV. The adjoining sun room offers a twin-size day bed, as well as a vintage writing desk. From there, you can also go out onto the private wrap-around balcony deck for some fresh air and deer watching.

BEDROOM 2: THE EXPEDITION ROOM *sleeps up to 7 comfortably (3 adults by local regulation)* Back downstairs, the Expedition Room is a child's dream come true, (and also for the young-at-heart!)

Elaborately designed to mimic a large camping tent in the woods, the room features: a full-size bed, additional full-over-full bunk beds, and a double hammock. The highlight of the room is the campfire coffee table, which features a built-in nightlight that simulates campfire flames. (*Please note that not all furniture in this room may be suitable for younger children to be left unsupervised.)

About the host
Hosted by Michael Priebe
I fell in love with Shasta Lake and the surrounding area after traveling through multiple times to visit family in Oregon. I wanted to find my own place here where we could meet to build memories more often. I love that I am able to provide the same opportunity for other families to build their own memories as well in this very special place.
Why they chose this property
Nothing beats the scenic beauty of Shasta Lake and the Shasta Trinity National Park. Whether you're here for fishing or water sports or just to get some quiet relaxation, the environment is nothing short of magical.
What makes this property unique
This house has been a 4-year restoration project and a labor of love. It was once a jewel of the mountain, but had been neglected for some time before I purchased it. It was a joy, an honor, and a huge pain in the rear to restore the main house back to it's potential. I did at least 50% of the repairs and restoration and 100% of the interior design myself, so I take great pride and pleasure every time a guest tells me how beautiful and comfortable it was for their stay. Your stay helps make it possible for me to continue to expand the amenities available to you during future stays even further.
