Great house for a friends reunion.

We stayed at the lake house for five nights in October. We had everything we needed! The weather was a mix of rain and sun, and on the rainy days we were perfectly happy to stay home and enjoy the views, the wildlife, the hot tub, and the well stocked kitchen. We appreciated the water pressure and nice hot water in the showers. Plenty of space to hang out and play games or watch movies. Our favorite was probably just hanging out on the deck talking and enjoying the view.

Family Birthday Trip

We stayed at Retreat 1 for our son's birthday. Great location, easy access to water. House was super cute and clean. Nice having master bedroom upstairs and then rest of bedrooms downstairs. Had a great time and Lori and Dave were incredible checking in and answering any questions I had. Definitely will be coming back again. We already booked another of their homes for next weekend.

Amazing Waterfront home

We had a great time once again. Love staying with Shasta Lakeshore Retreat. Their homes are great with amazing views. We enjoyed watching the deer in front of the house each evening. Super close to Sugarloaf marina. Looking forward to our next trip!

We had the best time with family and friends enjoying being right on lake.

Great place to stay on lake. Nothing else like it. Such a great deck to enjoy meals and view. Full moon while we were there. Great moon rises right over the lake. Perfect views. Easy access to water and marina. Really love this is lace.

Perfect lake getaway

This lake retreat is exactly as advertised. It is located right next to beautiful Shasta lake and sugarloaf marina and has all the convenient amenities of home. The wrap around deck was our favorite feature and where we spent all of our mornings and evenings gazing at the beautiful views. We hope to return again in the future!

House was very nice with an awesome view

Lori was a delight to work with, she was able to get us into her home in two days after our previous plans fell through. The home is on the water and we fished each day we were there. The home was in excellent condition and was very comfortable for us. We will definitely look at coming back in the summertime.

Fantastic communication & accommodations

We were pleasantly surprised when walking into cabin on the lake. Pictures do not do it justice. The home was immaculately clean, well laid out, accommodations better than most, and smelled really nice. The view of the lake was awesome! Gift basket a really nice touch! Property management, both Dave & Lori were great from the the selection process throughout our stay. We would definitely stay here again!

Place is clean and comfortable and did I mention it was a perfect location?? This is our 4th year in a row at Shatsa but first year staying at Lori and Dave's place. Already booked next year with them! We have hopped all over Lakehead but not anymore. The hospitality and location will keep us coming back year after year.

Relaxing and Wonderful space

Stayed in October and weather was great- good views of lake and house had lots of space and well stocked with things to cook and not have to leave! Nearby was a good grocery store we used a few times. Plenty of games, plenty of chairs, tv, outdoor bbq, heater, and water fun. The walk to lake can be treacherous ( esp with kids) bc of small rocks so wear good shoes and you do it once and it gets easier! We used the kayaks and paddle board, which are heavy to carry down and up. Very restful Time and we saw lots of wildlife including a family of deer. We will love to come back again!!

Most Relaxing Vacation I Ever Had

We stayed in Retreat #1 - More than enough room for the four of us. Our family vacation was so wonderful that we were all sad to leave. Lori is an amazing host. She was responsive, communicative and very nice! The home was extremely clean and had all the amenities of home. The master shower was so good too. Great water pressure! Our son went paddling on the lake and used the kayaks. He caught a lot of little fish, which he threw back, and a large catfish. The living room view of the lake is so picturesque. It’s remarkable to wake up and get to see that kind of beauty in the morning. Thanks again Lori and Dave for such a perfect family getaway. We hope to be back soon!

Great place to stay at Shasta.

We just returned from four nights in Retreat #1 at Shasta Lakeshore Retreats. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. We (three adults, three kids) found the house clean, nicely decorated, and well-equipped. The views of the lake off the back decks were gorgeous. Lori and Dave (the owners/managers) were so kind and accommodating and have done a great job with all the houses they manage. Sugarloaf Marina is close, which is nice, but we found the marina was not as well-run or maintained as the Lakeshore Retreats. The slips are shared, which made them tight, especially for larger wake boats. They are also short, and several cleats are either broken or missing so securing the boat was a bit challenging. If I had it to do again, I would just anchor in the cove behind the house and skip the slip rental. We give the marina one star, but Lakeshore Retreats five stars. Thanks Lori and Dave!

Amazing Stay in Lake Shasta

We had an extraordinary visit to Lake Shasta. This retreat was everything we hoped it would be. The views were spectacular and the retreat was in great shape. There was plenty of space for all of us to spread out and relax. We took advantage of the short walk to the marina and the ability to use the kayaks provided. We definitely plan on returning soon! And special thanks to Lori for all that she did to communicate with us before and during our stay to make sure everything was going well.

Lori and Dave are wonderful hosts and we appreciate them sharing their piece of paradise with us. Thanks again and look forward to next summer and many more!

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. 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 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
