Beautiful Lakehouse with immediate access to Shasta Lake

Come and stay in our lovely, updated home, you won't be disappointed. Perfect place for a winter getaway to the mountains for a ski/snowboard. Best place to stay to relax in the summer on the lake!

This Lake Front Vacation Rental on Lake Shasta was acquired in 2008. We recently renovated our home again in 2023 complete with new flooring in the master bath, fresh paint, and new decor. This is an exquisite retreat!

The property is a very roomy 2,300 s.f. family vacation rental on a third of an acre lot, with a game room in the garage with a pool table and on-site parking. This resort house is located in the quaint community of Lakehead and backs to Shasta Trinity National Forest Land with a private gate to the Forest Service trail directly to the Lake. There is nothing between you and the Lake except your desire to get there!

The lake is full this year and the water is right behind the house! Currently, you can not get a boat under the bridge in Doney Cove. The closest marina to moor your boat is Antlers.

The house sleeps 9 adults in very comfy beds with plenty of room for additional children. There is plenty of room in this house to accommodate large groups.

You will be more than pleased with our well-stocked home. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and serve gourmet or quick easy meals. There is a second full-sized refrigerator in the garage.

A large shaded private deck looks directly into the forest and the lake cove behind the property. The patio area is set up for outdoor meals or relaxing with a table, chairs, and barbecue.

Our property is family-owned and operated. See our rate schedule and calendar for more info.

Responsible renters must be at least 25 years old and present on the property during the rental period. Well-behaved dogs are welcome with an additional deposit (leash laws are enforced in the community). This is a Non-smoking house but there are designated areas to smoke outside.

My family celebrate my birthday and my brother in laws birthday at this home and had a wonderful time. The home is very spacious and clean. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the items we needed for cooking and serving. There is a short 2-4 minute walk to the lake. The home had paddle boards we were able to take down to the lake with us. The game room in the garage was perfect for the kids. Elizabeth was very responsive and great to work with. We will definitely book this home again if we are in that area!

Perfect lakeside accommodation

This was the perfect spot for our family and friends annual lake trip. Besides backing to the lake and being walking distance to the water where we anchored the boats there was plenty of parking for 4 vehicles and two trailers. The house had plenty of room and all the amenities one could need. The garage game room was an absolute plus with the pool table and dart board. Will definitely be booking for next summer!

Great property!

Extremely impressed with the owner and the property. The house was very well stocked with everything we needed and was very close the to lake (walking distance via the private trail in the back). The RV pad allowed me to park my 21 ft. Bass boat and truck on the property. Also, this proptis walking distance to the bar, restaurant, grocery store, and ice cream shop. Will definitely be staying here again!

Great stay but it was too short!

Wholeheartedly recommend this rental home for your Lake Shasta stay. High water this season provided access to Doney Creek w/ a short 2 min walk through the back yard trail lined with luscious greenery. Easily walk to the water for wading, swimming, fishing or playing. The location is very close to the Doney Creek train trestle, so many daring folks were jumping off both the trestle and bridge. *Added bonus for those trainspotters. The Union Pacific freight trains come regularly.* Driveway is good for two vehicles. Then resort to street for any additional vehicles. There is a parking pad on the side of the house too that can be used for a vehicle. An experienced boater can back a rig there but not advised for someone new. Check with mgmt and get their okay first to park boat there. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed to cook minus spices and seasoning. Fridge was big, clean and empty ready for your groceries. We didn’t BBQ but both a charcoal and propane was available. All appliances worked as should. We came the weekend of a massive heatwave, with temps in the 105-110 range. The AC kept up and provided relief when we got off the water. The shower in the main communal bathroom posed a challenge to my 14 yo to balance water temp. Aside from that, the 3 bathrooms were clean with good water pressure. The beds(!), they were some of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept on! Master had California king while the other two rooms feature 2 full beds.

House was great! For 20+ years we have rented a houseboat on Lake Shasta but decided to change it up this year. Best decision ever. After a day on the lake it was heaven to come back to a real shower, nice beds and good air conditioning!

A great getaway!

This place is great. Lovely home. So clean, well cared for. One more night would have been great. Two more nights would have been perfect if there had been more water in lake Shasta. Temperatures were 100-105while here. Hot. The house was nicely air conditioned to the best it could be under the circumstances. We went to mount Shasta for a look see. We went to McCloud falls and hiked from the the first to the second fall. We had a picnic at lake siskiyou. There was much more water there and we put our kayaks in. Fabulous. We had one dinner out at the Cook House at Lakehead. It was great. A good time was had by all!

We were a group of 4 adults and two teens plus a dog and the house was perfect for us. A very nice cozy place with all the amenities, and tastefully decorated interiors. The kitchen was well stocked and all the appliances were in great condition. There were plenty of towels to use for everyone and the property manager Elizabeth was very prompt with responses which made the check-in and check-out process smooth. Overall a great find.

Beautiful and very comfortable home!

We had a wonderful time on our visit! I found the house to be very clean, modern, and spacious. It was a great location for us to go on adventures each day to explore the Shasta area. Down the road was a great place to fish. We brought dinner and fished at dusk...it was so peaceful and beautiful. The house was very well stocked. Everything you need is there! Nice thick towels, too! My family and I were very comfortable. Even though I do understand why, the only down side for us was the audio/camera in the backyard, It made us feel a bit uncomfortable and awkward to sit outside, so we didn't enjoy the backyard much. Overall, it is a wonderful place to stay!

Wonderful Home Away from Home

Our stay at this property was outstanding; just a bit disappointed that the lake level was so low. However, with that said, the property listing accurately describes all amenities. The house is in a quiet neighborhood; as mentioned from a previous reviewer, there is an RV campground next door - not an issue for our stay - quiet hours were maintained by the campground. There is a train that runs periodically near the house, again, for us not an issue. The house is immaculate, very clean. The communication with the property owner outstanding - she was always available to answer any questions we had and answered promptly. The setting of the home is very calming as it is on the edge of a nature preserve and the backyard takes advantage of this with plenty of seating on the patio. The house has everything you need for a wonderful stay, including being pet friendly. For access to the lake, you really couldn't be any closer, you just may want to consider going earlier in the summer for the lake level to be higher. We were very satisfied with renting this home and we would stay again.

This is a lovely home-seems so spacious for 2000 square feet! There are lots of corners for people to have some distance if you have a bigger group, and everything is so nice but not so fancy that you feel like you can't relax. Really does feel like a home. We had a few minor issues, but Elizabeth was very prompt and helpful in her response. There aren't a lot of places to stay where you can actually walk to the lake, and this place has that which is really nice. It's a bit rocky getting down and not much of a beach area, but because it's a mountain lake not sure if that can be helped. The neighborhood is a little bit run down in parts, but maybe that's just how it is in a lake town. It seemed safe, and that was our main priority. There is a RV campground right next to the house. It wasn't a problem, and the area was really quiet in the evenings, but I didn't see that in any of the other reviews so just thought I'd mention it as an FYI. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this home.
