This lake house is one of the closest to Sugarloaf Marina via a short walk on a nice trail and is on the most desired street in Lakehead. The lake house (or cabin) features three stories of living space with wood beam ceilings and large windows looking out onto the lake and mountains. You can normally anchor your boat behind the house or launch it everyday at the ramp which is a 1/4 of a mile away.

Do a search for "Shasta Lakeshore Retreat" Notes: this is a wonderful place but there are a couple things we want to make sure our guests understand: 1. The house has a trail to the water's edge and marina but the elderly should avoid and children should not be left alone. 2. There is wildlife so please be aware for children and pets. 3. Although Lake Shasta is the best lake for watersports, swimming, fishing and general boating in California, it is a reservoir like many lakes in California. The water is let out all year long into the Sacramento river which supplies water to many parts of the state. This pushes our distance from the lake house to the water out as the level drops. For 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 the lake filled to top....in 2020 it was 30' from the top and 2021 is down significantly. Go to our web site and check the "Shasta Lake Water Level" page for latest. 4. The lower water levels might make the boat ramp several hundred yards further. and will make the walk to the marina a little longer or require you to drive. Even in 2015 and 2021 when the lake was the lowest, It still took us 30-45mins minutes to drive our boat at speed from one end to the other.....There was plenty of famous Shasta GREAT water. Although rare, if the water level drops to 140' or more it starts to impact the availability of the local boat ramps and marina. This requires a drive to another part of the lake. We have never seen a situation where there is no access to the lake and all marinas close. PLEASE SEE OUR LAKE LEVEL UPDATE on our web site for latest info. 5. The decks are high off the ground. Although they have railings as you would expect, if you have children, you need to watch them all the time outside as a fall from the deck would be a serious or life threatening fall. 6 If you have elderly staying with you, we do recommend having them stay on the main floor which has 3 bedrooms. 7. Forest fires are common in mid summer and the fall in Northern California. Sometimes as early at June. Obviously we have no way of controlling so please assume that smoke from a fire might impact your stay. It depends on the wind direction. Smoke can blow in from a fire 100 miles away and yet not impact the lake if only 5 miles away. All depends on wind direction. Please do not book our homes or another places in the Shasta area if you are sensitive to smoke. 8. NO SMOKING! NO WOOD FIRES OUTSIDE! 9. Not a good place for a big party but great for family and friends on peaceful street. 10. We are strict about the max number of guests, number of cars and pet policy. See web site. Search for "shasta lakeshore retreat" *IMPORTANT: Distance to water from house varies from 50 feet (when full) to several hundred yards (when low) depending on lake level. Views from house and access to lake, marina, and boat ramps will vary depending on lake level. Check Lake Level on Web Site for info and photos or Contact us for latest status. Summer 2021 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.
