About this property

Castle of Lake Shasta - Direct Lake Elegance

The lake is full which puts the Castle just steps off the back deck to jumping in the lake.. This exclusive 3000 plus sq.ft. English Tudor is affectionately called, 'The Castle of Lake Shasta.' Contact Marc - Lakeshastacastle at yahoo.

The Castle has a unique history and setting that attracts people from all over the United States. From New York to L.A., Washington to San Diego, visitors relax and enjoy the best vacation rental on the lake.

Located DIRECTLY on the Lake, this 4/5 bedroom 3.5 bath Castle offers fabulous views of the Lake from every room. With just a 25 to 50 foot walk down 1 of 5 paths to the lake, in seconds after leaving the Castle, you can be swimming in your own private cove or getting into your boat which you have moored at the water's edge.

Whether you are looking for the abundant wildlife of the Lake (bald eagles, osprey and other fauna) or the serenity and beauty of this mountain wonderland (Mt. Shasta, waterfalls, Shasta/Trinity Forest)this Lake Shasta rental has been the perfect getaway since 1992.

And yes, this Castle has a turret topped with a finial!! Each room is decorated as a Castle should be with lots of antiques, yet most comfortable and cozy for a great nights rest!! The Great Room has ceilings 18 feet high with an 8 ft. high fireplace. The breakfast nook area is great for morning coffee and roll and the formal dining room offers spectacular views of the lake!!

The outdoor Bar-B-Que pit with picnic tables offers outdoor cooking/marshmallow roasting in the total family atmosphere while the back deck cooking area/dining table offers yet another delectable selection for Castle dining.

The Castle is located at the end of the cul de sac and is set back away from the street. This feature tends to add more peace, quiet and privacy to your visit.

With notable quotes from former guests like:

'If you are looking for the first and best vacation rental on Lake
Shasta, look no further than the Castle'

'We've tried the others on the lake, but they weren't as fun or
relaxing as the Castle'

and finally..

'The Castle Rocks!!!'

Some R&R - Castle style

The home is exactly as it’s described with exception of the deck. We spent most of our stay enjoying the deck rain/shine. It was extremely peaceful and did not lack privacy - sometime this is something you have to sacrifice when renting right on the lake, but not here! The owner was the ultimate host! Communication was very prompt and detailed, but simple. The kitchen was well stocked with any item needed for your cooking and baking needs. The location of this home also gives its 5 star - you have quick and easy access to 2 private marinas and 1 public boat launch, extremely close to I-5 but not in a negative way where it would make your trip feel less remote & walking distance to 2 local lake restaurant/bars. We rented this home on a spur of the moment after losing a family member. The owner easily accommodated us, as the family was looking for a place to find closure and heal - & this is more than what the doctor ordered between the family meals on the deck, Pictionary games in the living room or ping pong/fousball tourneys in the garage. THANK YOU MARC!
