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.

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.

Lakefront views are the best of any of the dozen or so homes we’ve stayed. Owners are very helpful.

From the time I reserved until after we left the owners were awesome. House is beautiful and has the best views of the lake.

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.

This was an amazing property to share with family. The location is amazing. I would recommend, however, the home could use a little more deep cleaning. I would use the property again.

Wonderful home and property

We had a delightful time here. The home was perfect for our group. Large common areas, plenty of bedrooms, the wrap around shaded deck. The proximity to the lake was amazing. Lori was an attentive host; it was apparent that Lori takes a lot of pride in her property. Highly recommended.

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 :)

comfortable and great amenities

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!

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!

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!

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
