Great Place to Stay!
Our group of 14 had a wonderful time. The house is big and well laid out. Plenty of room for everyone. We loved the outdoor areas, 2 living rooms, and the game room. The lake is literally in the backyard. Although the walk to the lake was somewhat steep in parts, almost everyone in our group was able to make the walk down and back up even carrying a toddler. The kitchen was pretty well-equipped. We floated in the lake, used the firepit, played badminton, shot pool, had ping pong battles and played games. Having 3 bathrooms was great! Being able to bring our 2 dogs was definitely a bonus. Excellent communication with Nancy! Thank you for a relaxing and super fun stay!

Best spot on the Lake!
We absolutely loved our stay! We were 17 in total. The house and grounds were perfect for all of us to be able to do what we want. We had badminton tournaments, we played on the swings, had bonfires, sang karaoke at the amphitheater, and of course we loved the lake! Our stay was absolutely magical! The home being older was great. It was lived in and well taken care of. We can’t wait to go back next year!

Excellent getaway place for large group with plenty of things to do
Nancy was such a great host, she was very responsive and was available for anything we needed. She went out of her way to direct us to a cool spot with a beach access that looked exclusive, we had the place all to ourselves! The place of stay was very welcoming with enough activities for kids as well as adults. We had a great time at the property.

Great Experience
The property is spacious and can accommodate a large group. The location is perfect for many outdoor activities, or just relaxing on the outdoor balcony with beautiful views. I had to bring my dogs last minute and Nancy the owner was so nice and very accommodating to my needs. If you are looking for a great vacation spot, I would recommend this lake house.

The house is on a quiet street lots of trees and trails to walk ,a store nearby within walking distance everyone we met was welcoming. Shasta lake water was very low and we understood that but overall we had a wonderful time. It was nice to wake up and have coffee on the deck and look at the forest scenery.

Was a wonderful home with tons of sleeping options and room for everyone. Very kid friendly and kept the kids busy! Really enjoyed the fenced yard. The lake is dry which is the reason we wanted this location was for a lake experience, but we made due.

Great place to stay for larger parties
Working with Nancy was amazing. She was really easy to communicate with, and gave us advance warnings on things that we can/can't do within the area of the property. Unfortunately with the drought, the lake was very low, but we still had fun walking down to through the dried up lake and exploring. Will definitely consider staying here again when the water levels get back to normal.

Great home in a great location!
My family and I had a great weekend here. The home is cozy and has plenty of room for a large group to spread out. My 5 year old enjoyed the swings and learned to pay ping pong in the game room. Although the water in the lake was pretty low, we enjoyed exploring the area behind the house and the path to the lake. Nancy was a pleasure to work with. She was so nice and welcoming, she made sure we had everything we needed and made herself available if there was anything we needed. We would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Nancy J. Rennekamp

Host profile image
Hi! My name is Nancy, I live in Lakehead, a few miles from the Shasta Lakehouse. I work at a nearby restaurant/bar, and I know the local marina owners, store owners, fishing guides, and so on. I've lived in the area for almost thirty years, so I also know the lake and the surrounding areas well. I'm available and happy to help if you have questions about what to do, or where to go, or if you have special needs, such as catering, or renting equipment. Lots of vacation rentals are run by out-of-towners, but I take pride in being available to make sure your vacation is the best! I HAVE to run a great house, because if anything wasn't just as I said, you'd know where to find me!! I'll prefer to meet your group when you arrive and show you around. It's always fun to see the look on people's faces when they arrive and see how amazing our whole layout is. And it's even more fun to hear from them later about what a great time they had, and how much they loved the house, with something for everyone. They're always amazed at how everything is provided for them. I love what I do, seeing families come together, and hearing how folks get a rare chance to enjoy the great outdoors. It's the best. Come see us!!

Why they chose this property

IT IS SIMPLY THE BEST!!!!!!!!! AND THE SECOND HOME TO BECOME A VACATION RENTAL 20 YRS AGO. I HAVE IT DIALED IN. (a quote from my guest book)

What makes this property unique

The recreation area with luxury tents gives you the best of both worlds. The property provides for whatever your likes may be.This house is truly the best LAKE FRONT place to be. It sits on the shoreline of a quiet finger of Lake Shasta. The cove is a 5 mile an hour zone with no other marina's sharing it.The location is perfect on the lake and in the area. The house is very private but yet within easy walking distance to all the venues in town. With it encompassing two lots an empty lot on the other side, & the forest & lake behind it, you are in your own paradise. It is not crammed in a tight neighborhood and there is more off street parking than any other one around. Not only are we one of the closest houses to the lake but THE ONE with the MOST off street parking. Private yet an easy walk to all the great spots. Walk out the back gate to the water's edge. Sit on upper deck in swing and watch lake activities in cove.
Beautiful surroundings all around.. It is living in a Natural Forest. Private, but within easy walking distance to everything Lakehead offers ( bars, restaurants, markets, many venues. Views of lake from all the window in back of house. Full lake or low lake....You will get complete enjoyment from the house, it's location, and all there is to do.. You simply get the best of the best at this mini resort. You never have to leave to have fun. Everything is spread out so when you want some privacy you'll have it. The house is unique for being close to everything yet very private and surrounded by trees. You have the feeling of being in your own world. There are many special touches added over the years of having lived there. A good time at the Lakehouse does not depend on the water levels
