For more information please see our website by doing a search for "shasta lakeshore retreat". Due to a great number of returning guests we tend to book up early especially for the summer months. Our 2026 and part of 2027 calendars are open. *IMPORTANT: Check Lake Level on our website for info and photos or Contact us for latest status. Summer 2021 and 2022 Lake Level was lower than recent years. Although most of our guests still have a great time at any water level, we want to make sure you understand the dynamics of this reservoir. The lake may or may not fill up any given year but we will keep guests posted as we always do and offer a full refund up to 60 days before arrival. Although rare, if the lake drops below 140' down, this starts to impact the availability of local boat ramp and marina requiring travel to another part of the lake. Again, see our web site for latest info and photos of lake at different levels. Forest Fires are also common in Northern California which may blow smoke in the area during the Summer/fall. Sensitive parties should avoid visiting Northern California during this period of time. Check our web site for current conditions and warnings. BEST INFO WEBSITE FOR SHASTA AREA: Even if you don't stay with us, make sure you go to our #1 Shasta Area Information Page. It will provide you links to almost everything including info on lake, marina, lake level, boat ramps, things to do, places to visit, place to eat and so much more.

Everything worked well for us. Clean house, spacious for a group. The downstairs is separated from the upstairs. It may have been in the description but I’m not sure. Exterior stairwell on the deck connects the upstairs and downstairs. It fit our needs and we were satisfied

We stayed in retreat #6 this past Memorial Day and had a great time! We were two families, one family of 5 and a family of 4. The kids loved having the large room downstairs all to themselves. Kitchen was stocked with everything needed to cook meals, short walk to where we had rented a boat slip for the weekend. We've already booked for next year and can't wait to go back!
