The location was convenient and tranquil. Off the highway but not too far to make it inconvenient. We booked two rooms and both were very comfortable and very clean. The staff were extremely professional, friendly and helpful. The breakfast that is included with your stay was well prepared and the presentation was very good. We highly recommend this inn if you’re driving this way and need a great overnight stop on your way north or south.

The Inn at Shasta Lake is a true hidden gem! The property is clean, charming, and tucked away in a peaceful setting, making it the perfect place to relax. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The resort is small, cozy, and has a warm, inviting atmosphere that we really enjoyed. If I had one suggestion, it would be to book one of the larger cottages next time for a little extra space. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the Shasta Lake area. We look forward to coming back!

We stayed in the Hummingbird room and it was absolutely delightful! The room is spacious and so clean and comfortable. The garden view is superb and peaceful. The walk in shower and jet tub is luxurious. We ordered dinner and it was superb and very reasonable especially for the amount of food. The breakfast was delicious especially the overnight oats! Staff were very communicative and accommodating. I am so happy I found this gem in the forest. My husband and I will definitely go back for a longer stay!

Wonderful pre-checkin communication. Very clean accommodations. Lovely setting. Much more isolated than anticipated. We were tired after driving all day and didn’t realize there weren’t dining establishments close to the inn. You need to get back on the highway and drive at least 10 miles for restaurants. There was a pizza restaurant that delivered to the hotel which we opted for.

I have traveled quite a bit in my 65 years and this is truly one of the nicest places that I have ever been to. The location is soooo convenient--just a turn or two and you can be on the freeway. But even though it has a close proximity to traffic, we were far enough away not to be bothered by noise. Our room was delightful! It was like a suite with a bathroom almost bigger than my first apartment! We also had a little seating area outside where I sat and read my book, drank a glass of wine and watched the deer in the yard. For breakfast you fill out a paper with lots of choices and submit it the night before. It was served to each individual room in a basket tray and was so delicious!! Nothing was too much trouble! There was plenty of parking and we never felt crowded or rushed. I highly recommend this inn for anyone going to Mt. Shasta, Lake Shasta or any other place in-between!
