Spent July 4 weekend at this lovely cabin. 10 family members, including a two year-old the cabin was exceptional. It’s a rustic cabin with all the modern amenities really liked the little details. Every switch is labeled what it’s for. Large dining room table was a plus location was great close to everything. host was great to deal with great communication an overall fantastic Fourth of July weekend in a beautiful location. Space is a little tight upstairs, but we managed to make it work. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great place to stay that’s close to everything.

Great cabin for family get-together

The rustic cabin exceeded our expectations for our family get together. The cabin provided comfortable sleeping space for our party of 12. The cabin was well stocked with everything one would need, including cooking utensils and other supplies. Christie is a great host and helped make our trip enjoyable. We liked the large wooden table for our meals. Nice being close to the fun center.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful Lake Shasta cabin. The place was very clean and extremely comfortable. The master bedroom downstairs was spacious, with its own kitchen and sofa, making it feel like a private suite. Bathrooms and showers were modern and well kept.The highlight for me was the extra-large dining table surrounded by round windows, high ceilings, and gorgeous log construction — the perfect setting for making memories with friends. The decorations were unique and charming, from the metal saw art to the bear and deer touches. The marble kitchen was well equipped, making cooking together easy and enjoyable.The only things we wished for were a bathroom upstairs (since we were five older couples and going up and down at night was a bit challenging) and that the cabin was set a little farther back from the main road for added privacy. Still, the elegant spiral staircase and the overall charm of the home made those details easy to overlook.Overall, we 100% recommend this cabin for anyone looking for a clean, cozy, and memorable getaway at Lake Shasta!
