Sleeps 24, The Gathering Place at Shasta Lake

Nothing else like it, just 10 minutes to Redding! 5000sf lodge on 22 ACRES has 8 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, is designed perfectly to host your large family/friend gathering! This modern lodge is seconds from the freeway, minutes from Shasta Caverns and Shasta Lake, and a quick 50 minutes (traffic/weather depending) to Mt. Shasta for Skiing/snowboarding, and 15 minutes to Bethel! You’ll love the MASSIVE single-slab redwood table that seats 22, and beautiful pool table, and much more!

We stayed at this property for our church family camp and really enjoyed our time here. The location is very convenient, with nearby shops like Costco and Safeway just a short drive away. The property itself is spacious, clean, and well-suited for group gatherings, which made our stay comfortable and enjoyable.The only area that could use improvement is the air conditioning. There are only two AC units for the entire property, which was not sufficient during our stay, especially with temperatures reaching 105–108F. Even at night, it remained quite hot. Aside from that, everything else was great, and we had a wonderful experience. We would definitely consider coming back in the future.

Aimee the host was great. The house was exceptional for a large group. Kitchen was furnished and well equipped to prepare food for a large group. We were fortunate to use the fire pit. The access was easy. Our entire college team thoroughly enjoyed their stay, they thought it was the best VRBO we have stayed in.

Annual family trip

The house was perfect for our needs, plenty of beds and space. It was a short 5 minute drive to Baily cove where we launched the sea-Doo's everyday. Holiday harbor was only a few minutes further where we rented a day cruiser for some of the time we were there. We all had a wonderful time and I would definitely stay here again!

I can’t say enough good things about the host. Anytime I had questions she would answer almost immediately. We absolutely loved the home. It’s easily accessible from the highway but yet you get to experience local wildlife right on your front porch. The home layout is perfect there is one bathroom for every two rooms which is a game changer. There were plenty of towels, linens, blankets for our entire party of 20. The home is also well stocked with all the necessary kitchen tools and appliances. I highly recommend this home for your next family gathering.

Excellent group gathering spaces. Several of them.Kitchen was big and well stocked. Two dishwashers. Bedrooms were a bit tight fitting—Two queens into one. Lighting could use improvement in the bedrooms. Fabulous location to see the sites in Redding and Mt. Shasta area. Nice fire pit. Great covered porch with Adirondack chairs.

Beautiful House, Great Host!

The house itself is beautiful with a great, open layout for large groups to have enough space for everyone (group of 30+) while still feeling connected. The host was excellent with communication and was very helpful during the reservation process and throughout our entire stay. 10/10 would recommend.

Family and friends reunion

Fabulous layout of house facilitates small groups and large groups to visit and catch up. Also, the floor plan is comfortable for large groups to stay overnight and enjoy one another. We were able to fix many meals and enjoy them together as one large group and make very special memories. We look forward to scheduling another family vacation at this property.

First Guests!

Aimee and Andrew were very kind and considerate hosts. They were very communicative and were always happy to help make our stay as comfortable as possible. This home was new, clean, and in great shape. I appreciate their customer service and would most definitely be interested in returning for another stay at The Gathering Place.

Works well with Adults & kids

Despise some malfunctioning hardware (fan & lights & A/C) this stay was a blast. Lots of room for our 9 littles, plus 13 adults! Lots of space for everyone & that table was really perfect!! We had a great time on the lake for a day renting a pontoon boat at Holiday Harbor (so close!) and going to Shasta Caverns the other day. This house is perfectly named, it is a fantastic “gathering place”.

"THE BEST EVER"

WOW! What a large and spacious place with 8 BR and all sorts of different arears for every age. The premier item was a table that was made of one slab of wood. It was fabulous and seated all 22 of us. We ate, played games and just sat around and talked. We spent 3 nights playing in the sun at Shasta Lake. This is a "must do" at least once in your life. My family felt it was well worth the journey. We loved it so much we plan to return again!

Great for family reunion!

Description does not do this place justice! Third floor is specifically geared towards kids with big nets to play on and multiple beds. We had a family reunion with 27 people and it accommodated us no problem. Super close to Shasta caverns and multiple marinas and 15 minutes from Redmond. Great kitchen with all the amenities. Would have been nice to have additional fans for additional air flow in the home with so many bodies but besides that it was a wonderful place. They also had multiple barbecues and ample storage for recycling and trash.

Family Reunion

This place is amazing and delightfully surprising because it is so unique. We had adults and children of all ages and everyone found a place to have fun whether it was playing pool, foosball or finding a quiet corner to read a book. There are nets on the second and third floors that spread like very sturdy hammocks across spaces. We have a lot of Spider Man fans in our family and they were in 7th heaven as they struck poses or danced across these nets. We didn't see photos of the kitchen in the listing but it was big enough to cook for a crowd. We could have used a second refrigerator, but the large cooler in another room did the trick. There are so many things to do in the area! We enjoyed Shasta Caverns that are just down the road. If you stay, don't miss the incredible waterfalls like Burney and McCloud! This was a very memorable stay for us and we would highly recommend staying here! The home is well maintained and was immaculately clean!
