What a delightful surprise. Not knowing anything about this place I booked it on a glance at the listing. A cute little BNB with clean rooms and friendly staff. A little close to the freeway so expect background road noise, but that comes with ease of access. Check in was easy, price was great. Will stay again next time I drive down i5.

This was a beautiful unexpected sanctuary. I stayed in the Nuthatch room and it was beautiful with nice view and huge room! So much space and the bed was extra comfortable. The fireplace was an added bonus for the luxury feel in the cold night! The complimentary room service breakfast was also unexpectedly phenomenal. I would definitely star here again. Staff was friendly and super communicative!

My stay at the Shasta Inn was absolutely exceptional. The property is peaceful, quiet, and the perfect place to relax. The highlight for me was the jetted tub—luxurious and rejuvenating after a long day of exploring. The food was really good, adding to the overall comfort of the stay, and everything throughout the inn was very clean and well-kept. The calm atmosphere, combined with great amenities and attention to detail, made my experience unforgettable. If you’re looking for comfort, relaxation, and quality in Shasta, the Shasta Inn is the place to go. And their continental breakfast is beyond a home-cooked meal. Very excellent served to your room.

New favorite place to stay

This place was amazing! Probably our new favorite place to stay. So many places lack hospitality in a way that the staff here provide. The bed was so comfortable, the tub was very relaxing, secluded location, and breakfast brought to your room. We will definitely be back!

This was a great place to stay, especially for the price in a tourist area! It is very close off I-5, yet secluded and quiet. Self check in is easy and they communicate with you at various points to make everything easy. It was clean, comfortable and had great AC, that was blissfully quiet. Great breakfasts you order the night before and they bring to you in the morning. Convenient access to any extras you need like ice, extra coffee, condiments, etc. Really enjoyed our stay. If you get a chance while there, visit the Shasta Caverns and eat at Huff’s.

Such a treat...on a long road trip.

It was a wonderful treat to discover The Inn at Shasta Lake. The room was lovely. The dinner option was wonderful and delicious, and the breakfast was also quite good and delivered to the room. Such a peaceful atmosphere. There is some freeway noise, but easy to ignore. I will definitely stay again.
