Secluded Romantic Getaway Overlooking Shasta Lake
DreamView Lake House — A Private Romantic Retreat Above Shasta Lake
DreamView Lake House is a rare, secluded ridgetop retreat overlooking Shasta Lake in Northern California. Set on 140 acres of private land and surrounded by forest and open sky, this peaceful escape offers sweeping lake and mountain views, complete privacy, and a quiet atmosphere designed for couples, small families, and guests seeking meaningful time away from everyday life. Well-behaved dogs are welcome with prior disclosure.
From the moment you arrive, the pace slows. There are no neighboring homes, no traffic, and no city noise—just forest, water, and stillness. Mornings begin with coffee and birdsong. Evenings end with sunsets, stargazing, and long soaks in the built-in, in-deck hot tub overlooking the lake.
A Setting Designed for Romance, Rest & Reconnection
DreamView was thoughtfully designed for romantic getaways, anniversaries, honeymoons, intimate birthdays, and quiet escapes. Unlike most vacation rentals located in residential neighborhoods, this home offers true seclusion and uninterrupted views, creating a sense of retreat that’s increasingly rare.
The home features abundant indoor and outdoor living space, expansive windows framing the lake, and a warm, comfortable layout ideal for slowing down together. Whether you’re cooking an unhurried meal, enjoying a quiet evening on the deck, or relaxing together in the in-deck hot tub beneath open skies, DreamView invites you to be present.

Work From Anywhere — Without Giving Up the View
For guests who wish to combine rest with productivity, DreamView offers exceptional high-speed Wi-Fi, among the fastest available on Shasta Lake. The peaceful setting, reliable connectivity, and inspiring views make it an ideal work-from-anywhere escape—allowing you to stay connected during the day and fully unplug after hours.
Location: Secluded Yet Convenient
DreamView is located just minutes from the I-5 corridor, making arrival easy while still feeling a world away from everyday life. The property sits above the McCloud Arm of Shasta Lake and offers access to nearby marinas, forest roads, and miles of surrounding national forest.
With over 30,000 acres of public land nearby, guests enjoy walking access toward the lake, forest exploration, and the kind of quiet only found far from city lights.

DreamView has been welcoming guests for nearly 19 years and has earned hundreds of five-star reviews.

Nice house. Best for a couple. Two bedrooms; downstairs had two beds, but a nice bathroom. We used upstairs room then went downstairs for shower. It had a great view of the lake and a nice deck. There were a lot of cleaning rules for the stay, which was interesting because there was a cleaning fee and a pet fee. It was a nice place though. Very Private. There is a pool table we used a lot. Didn’t use the hot tub because temperatures outside were 109 degrees.
Everything was very good. The views were awesome! The only thing I would suggest is more silverware and some carpet cleaning in the living room. The pet odor was pretty strong. We have pets so I know how that goes unfortunately. But, the house was amazing and will stay again in the future.
The property was gorgeous and the view from the deck was breathtaking. Living near a major city with all the light pollution that comes with it, I don't get to see the stars much. I loved laying out on the deck at night, looking at the shooting stars and the Milky Way. The beds were comfortable and the rain shower was a great way to wake up. The only complaint is the book full of rules that wasn't mentioned in the listing. There were a lot of rules.
Absolutely lovely property with amazing views from both decks. A wonderful way to spend a quiet weekend with a couple of friends. Property is clean and owners have thought of everything you might need in the kitchen down to ZipLock baggies. The only negative was the TV downstairs did not work during our entire stay and when I contacted the owners, they were unable to get someone to look at it while we were there. Not a huge deal, but it was a bummer. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our long weekend away. Thinking of making it an annual occurrence. Thank you!
Dreamview is exactly as Ken describes it - breathtaking, private and the perfect retreat. Sitting in the hot tub at night in the midst of the rolling clouds that made way for the starts was perfect!Communication, cleanliness and ease of directions as well as entry made our weekend getaway seamless.

Best view I’ve seen yet. We were able to see a deer roaming in the field. The property is well kept and the owner was very helpful. Definitely coming back.
Our group of 4 was looking for a relaxed New Years stay and that is exactly what we got! The house was comfortable and private, and Ken was a very attentive host. I would definitely recommend this stay to a friend and would absolutely stay again!
We loved our stay. The view of the mountains and lake were the best we've had of any other property that we've stayed at. The hot tub, pool table, Foosball, and corn hole toss were perfect to keep us entertained.

Perfect Thanksgiving!
I cannot put into words how breathtaking the views are from the back porch. Every morning and evening were made by watching the sunrise or set in the distance. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful with suggestions of things to do in the local area. Overall would recommend this house to anyone for any occasion. Would LOVE to go back!!
A gorgeous spot, well kept, very comfortable. Nicely stocked kitchen and bathrooms. Views are incredible! Pictures could not do it justice. Breakfast and dinner with the deers roaming. Ken and Lori are attentive.

Stunning
The house is modern with magnificent views. Lori is amazing! She is very nice, and handles all of your needs. I highly recommend Michele for a massage. All around 5 star treatment!
We had the most wonderful time as a family! Thank you so much Ken (and Lori!) for making it truly special. They went above and beyond to answer questions especially for a family with a small child, check in and out was smooth and easy, and even helped set up a birthday surprise for our arrival. The location is absolutely stunning - the view from the deck really outshines any photo you can take! Gorgeous site and wonderful hosts. Thank you again!

Thanksgiving Fun
We had a great stay at Ken and Ashley's home. The view is fantastic. The kitchen and living room are even better than the pictures. The owners were always available. The tile work and hard wood floors make this house very classy for the mountains. It is wonderfully quiet out in the country, but not too far away.
Thanks, Jen
This is by far the best place I've ever stayed. The view was incredible!! Everything was so clean and I really appreciated the check- in process. Ken and Lori were so pleasant to work with, they even gave me recommendations to do in the area. Coming from the city, it was amazing getting to see so many stars and being in the absolute silence out on the property. This is my favorite place to get away and I am excited to book again the next time I'm on vacation! Thank you again Ken and Lori for the amazing stay!
This place is as advertised. Great location and well appointed. The downstairs beds are very firm, which wasn't that comfortable for our group, but we were tired from the lake so it was fine-lol. The best feature of this property is the responsive owner/manager. They are really on top of it! Would go back for sure.

dreamy anniversary
My husband and I have been vrboing on our anniversary every spring in good fishing locations throughout northern California & southern Oregon. Our bar for scenic, private accommodation is pretty high & Dreamview is top notch! We were lucky enough to get a sunbathing day, a record setting bass fishing day, a massive thunderstorm day (amazing from this house!), a five movies in the robe couch day, and a double rainbow sunset!! Fully appointed, friendly hosts, convenience, luxury, world class view!

Very Nice Customized House and Great View
DreamView is just like the picture, very nice and tranquil. It's an adults only house. We have a big group with kids, and we rent both houses, so we put the grandparents in this house. I think they have a good time. Location of this house is very convenient for touring around. Cavern and Bridge Bay are all in 10 min driving distance.

Wonderfully Relaxing Getaway
I spent 6 days in Ken and Ashley's place during early October and had a great time. The views are unforgetabally beautiful. I took many great photos that allow me to escape back to that relaxing time. Ken and Ashley were so helpful in helping us plan our sightseeing adventures. There are so many "bucket-lisi" items that are literally just around the corner from this place we needed an extra week to be able to get to all the sites. Thanks so much to Ken and Ashley for all their hospitality. Looking forward to coming again soon.

Quiet & Relaxing!
Life has been non-stop for us & with work & kids & everything in-between it is hard to get a quiet moment alone & almost impossible to get an entire afternoon or evening, but we got just that & so much more during our recent visit & stay at the DreamView House. We highly recommend this spot if you are looking for something that you truly cannot get anywhere else. This place is one of a kind & has an incredibly amazing view & offers a peaceful tranquility that has to be experienced. We will 110% be booking again & looking forward to staying even longer next time! Ashley & Ken were great hosts & made us feel right at home!

Wow! What a great vacation!
My husband and I loved the Dream View. It was even prettier than the pictures. Everything you could need was there. Every room is beautiful and the views are spectacular and heavenly!! We enjoyed our stay and so appreciated the suggestions on places to see given us by Ken. He was so po!ite and friendly, we enjoyed our visit with him. We travel every year and always stay in a vacation home, and we can honestly say this has been the best one yet. Thank you Ken and Ashley for sharing your home with us and for being such gracious hosts. It was a soul renewing experience. We will be back again next year.
