Guest access
Our guests have full access to our property! The large 3 level building you see in one of the pictures, is all yours to enjoy during your stay at the Shasta Lake Zen House! All we request is that you be mindful of our neighbors below our property on the hillside. This being a house surrounded by nature, sound travels fast and wide here. Hence keep your volumes low, especially after 9 pm.
And yes, we offer a keyless entry to the house via touchscreen using access codes that we will share with you before your arrival.
Other things to note
Shasta lake levels vary dramatically from year to year and season to season. But you will still be amazed by the views from this house regardless of the season as property truly enjoys one of the best views in this area! It’s located just a few minutes walking / driving distance to the lake and the marina below, but since we are at a slight elevation on the hillside, our rooms and decks and patios enjoy the most beautiful views of the lake, the canyon and the surrounding hills, thereby offering a mesmerizing view of nature all around.
The lower level two bedrooms have a common bathroom between them and you have to go through one bedroom to get to the other one, thereby impacting privacy of one of those two bedrooms. However, the upper level two bedrooms are master suites with Shasta lake views and have their own private entrance and private bathrooms.
