This enchanting mountain getaway by Shasta Lake is located on almost 4 private acres in one of the lake's most coveted areas and bordered on 3 sides by national forest. Enjoy all the beauty and serenity of a remote getaway while still conveniently located just a few short minutes from all the lake's best attractions; Shasta Caverns, Holiday Harbor, and more. Stunning 360 nature views and a thoughtfully designed interior make this a can’t-miss stay for both romantic getaways and fun family vacations.
We can and are happy to accommodate up to 12 guests (9 adults,) but we think the space is most comfortable for a group of 8 or less.
The house is ideally located less than 1,000 ft from the waters of Shasta Lake with quick and easy access to the I-5 and paved road all the way up to the driveway. From the front door, you will be only 3-7 minutes from; the I-5, Holiday Harbor, Shasta Caverns, and the public water access/boat launch! We have plenty of private parking, with enough room for your boat or other toys.
Once here though, you are surrounded by trees and mountains. The property is inhabited by playful squirrels and many colorful species of birds and visited frequently by hungry deer. Otherwise though, you can enjoy your stay in relative solitude.
Should you need them, however, the friendly couple who co-hosts for us lives just up the road and can respond in a flash.
Inside, the house takes advantage of all this glorious nature by featuring generous window space that provides a scenic view in every single room. (Even the closet for the primary bedroom has a picture window looking out to nature.)
The one-of-a-kind semi-open floor plan is open and spacious while simultaneously providing plenty of smaller cozy moments for your group to spread out to after a fun-filled day at the lake. The “elegantly rustic” rooms are eclectically designed, heavily inspired by European country and mid-century modern aesthetics, providing a welcoming yet stimulating atmosphere with a touch of whimsy and wonder.
The LIVING ROOM features a wood-burning stove tucked into an impressive floor-to-ceiling stone alcove, and a 50-inch flat screen smart TV. But, you'll first have to peel your eyes away from the giant 2-story window and its absolutely dazzling scenic view!
The KITCHEN is equipped with all the major modern kitchen appliances and cooking supplies, as well as place settings for your whole party. It even boasts an additional beverage fridge for your cold drinks. Through the pass-through window, you will find a small prep kitchen with a second sink and additional prep space for your favorite kitchen helper to lend a hand without being in the way.
In the DINING AREA, you'll find a fully stocked coffee station and 3 separate dining tables. You'll also find a large window bench from which to admire the giant oak just outside and the gorgeous mountain range in the distance.
Upstairs, you'll find the primary bedroom, the LOFT SUITE. It boasts a luxurious California King bed, high vaulted ceiling, and another 50-inch flat screen smart TV. It also features an adjoining sitting room with a twin-size day bed and vintage writing desk for working vacationers in need of a work station. From there, go out onto the LOFT SUITE's private wrap-around balcony deck for some fresh air or make your way to-
the spa-like UPSTAIRS BATHROOM, which features a luxurious oversized double-headed shower, toilet with bidet, and double vanity.
Also upstairs, you'll find the LOFT LIBRARY, where you can cozy up with one of our books or find a collection of board games for family fun time. You'll also find the primary bedroom walk-in closet, which doubles as a laundry room, and is stocked with helpful amenities.
Back downstairs, the rest of your group can enjoy staying in our 2 additional bedrooms. The EXPEDITION ROOM is a child's dream come true, (and also for the young-at-heart!) This double-sized bunk room was inspired by vintage summer camps and scout expeditions. Elaborately designed to mimic a large camping tent in the woods, the room can sleep up to 7 people (3 adults) in; a full-size bed, full-over-full bunk beds, and a double hammock. The highlight of the room, however, is the campfire coffee table in the center, which features a nightlight that realistically simulates campfire flames.
Just across the hall, the HONEY BEAR ROOM provides a comfy queen bed, 40-inch flat screen with blu-ray, and glorious view of a tree-lined area of our property where deer often play or graze.
The charming DOWNSTAIRS BATHROOM features an oversized in-ground soaking tub next to an enormous picture window that looks out onto the neighboring national forest land. It's a great place to soak in a nice long bubble bath while watching deer graze, but be warned- they may sometimes watch back (see photos!)
