OUR STORY

Over two decades of cherished family vacations at Shasta Lake brought us to a momentous decision in 2015. We found our hearts intertwined with a beautiful home, now affectionately known as Shasta Lakeshore Retreat #1. Our love for this retreat led us to invest and enhance it, but since we couldn’t be there more than a few times a month, we decided to share this exceptional haven with fellow travelers. This decision bore fruit, and our home quickly became one of the most sought-after vacation rental homes on Shasta Lake.

Inspired by our first success, we acquired the neighboring, even larger home, creating Retreat #2. In 2017, we took on a significant remodeling project, transforming this home into a lake inspiring getaway for all.

The legacy continued when our two sons purchased a fantastic lakefront home on the same street in 2019. By May 2020, Retreat #3 became available to guests. Managed with the same love and care as Retreat #1 and #2, it has won the hearts of many travelers.

The year 2021 marked the addition of Retreat #4, followed by #5 , #6, & #7,  in 2022.  In 2023, Dave joined Lori full time as he retired from hi-tech management roles to enjoy more the organization they built together.   With that we decided to double in size offering a bringing our total to 18 homes.

Demand for our outreach and 2x-4x revenue per home drives an ever increasing interest in our services.  Although we continue to review opportunities for very special homes (especially lakefront), we decided to hold at 18 since that point in time.

For many areas, the days of counting on Airbnb and VRBO alone are over.  All of these homes meet the exacting standards that have become synonymous with the Shasta Lakeshore Retreat experience. Whether it’s the lakefront charm of Retreat #4 or the picturesque views from Retreat #5, there’s something for everyone.

In late 2025, Dave was asked to be the President of the Shasta Lake Business Owners Association (SLBOA) which is an organization promoting tourism to Shasta Lake and the 30 businesses in the area including Lodging, Restruants, Marinas, Local Merchants and more.

At the Shasta Lakeshore Retreat, our commitment to quality is affirmed by our guests, the high percentage of returning visitors, and over 1100 five-star reviews. Our objective is to ensure you have one of the best vacations of your life at the Shasta Lakeshore Retreat.
