This place was so inviting, from the time we pulled into the drive, we knew we'd love it. The charismatic owners & their pets (2 dogs, cat, bird & turtles) were all very welcoming. The value/rates are unbeatable! The rooms are clean, cozy, comfortable & quaint w/modern amenities like flat-screen TV's & wi-fi, & mini-fridge. The large grounds are filled... More

I found this clean, comfortable, cozy, and homey place about 7-8 years ago. i now stay there 3-4 nights a week twice a year after my two major tax prep deadlines. I get a major wind-down and lots of rest and relaxation. The owners, Jay and Stephanie, are friendly, warm, and helpful. On my most recent visit, there was a... More

This year my husband and I had to accept the fact that he would have to commute several hours from home. By the second week we realized it was too difficult for him to drive back and forth every day from where we live, which is how we found this pleasant motel. The room we like has a small kitchen...

We had the pleasure (and I do mean "pleasure") of spending a night on the road at this quaint, lovely motel in the small village of Lakehead, California. Up until this night we had stayed in a couple of motels in Salinas, California and Stockton, California. Neither one of these motels could hold a candle to Shasta Lake Motel. It... More

We booked this place for 2 nights after seeing some good reviews and the pics make the motel look nice enough. Make no mistake this motel is far from nice. The room was dusty with cob webs and spiders. The furniture was old and poorly maintained. It looked liked the room hadn't been cleaned in weeks. We brought some of... More

We had a real nice time during our stay in this motel. We stayed for three nights, used the small kitchen to the fullest, and really had a pleasant stay. The owners: Jay and Stephanie were truly cordial, friendly, and helpful. The room was clean and adequate with necessary goodies, the bathroom was fine and the little kitchen had enough... More

I feel like the reviews here are a little skewed. It's obvious that people are looking for "rustic with a hammock." All other needs are secondary. That's fine, I do rustic - a lot - but I just wasn't too impressed. There's a pool. Yep. The lake is close. Uh-huh. The owner even has a bird. Woo-hoo. Still, I didn't... More

This small motel is super cozy, and the price was affordable. You can hear a little road noise from the room, but it is very minor and somewhat expected when you aren't very far off the freeway (but it's really convenient). The owner checked us in and was super friendly. The room and bed were comfortable and very clean. The... More

Taking an off-season through California allowed us to stop at will. Shasta Lake Motel was a great find just off I-5! It is a classic, quaint motel situated near the lake in a small, friendly community that reminds me of days gone by. We loved the smell of cedar in our paneled room that felt more like a comfortable cabin... More
