Lakefront, 3300 Square Feet, 4 Bedrooms, Sleeps 12 - Shasta Lakeshore Retreat 20
Unforgettable Lakefront Living at Shasta Lake, Retreat 20
Create lasting memories at Shasta Lake in this exceptional lakefront home, one of the few newer residences located directly on California’s largest lake. With clear, open views of the Sacramento Arm from both the home and the expansive deck, this is a true front-row seat to lake life.
The location is hard to beat. You will enjoy convenient access to two nearby boat ramps and Sugarloaf Marina, featuring a floating store and fuel station just minutes away. Antler’s Marina and boat rentals are approximately 15 minutes from the home, making it easy to spend your days on the water. Guests also have access to multiple kayaks and paddle boards, making it easy to enjoy the lake directly from the property.
Designed with both comfort and practicality in mind, the home offers easy access and parking for up to four vehicles or boats. The spacious two-story layout provides plenty of room for families and groups to spread out while still gathering together.
The gourmet kitchen is a standout feature, fully equipped for large meals and group cooking with granite countertops, a Viking range, and a double oven. Whether you are preparing a casual breakfast or a full family dinner, the space is designed to handle it with ease.
Sleeping arrangements are thoughtfully planned:
Two bedrooms downstairs, including a primary suite with a private en-suite bathroom
Two additional bedrooms upstairs
A loft area that adds extra flexibility for relaxing or gathering
In addition to the primary bath, the home includes one full bathroom downstairs and one upstairs, providing easy access for everyone.
This is not simply a rental. It is a well-cared-for family home, and you will feel the difference the moment you arrive. The kitchen cabinets are stocked with quality dishes, the beds feature comfortable, high-quality mattresses, and the home is outfitted with the everyday comforts we expect in our own homes. Reliable Wi-Fi, comfortable temperature control, and a clean, well-maintained environment are all standard here.
As part of the Shasta Lakeshore Retreat collection, this home is professionally managed by a local, hands-on team known for well-maintained homes, proactive communication, and exceptional guest experiences. Across our portfolio, guests consistently rate their stays 4.9+ stars, and Retreat 20 is held to the same high standard.
Whether you are here for boating, paddling, family time, or simply to relax by the water, Retreat 20 offers a rare combination of lakefront location, quality construction, and thoughtful amenities, all designed to make your Shasta Lake getaway easy, comfortable, and memorable.

About the host
Hosted by Lori and David Raun
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. All three homes required significant investment and remodeling as they had been neglected for years.
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 19 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
