WELCOME TO FOXFELL AT SHASTA LAKE
This enchanting mountain getaway by Shasta Lake is ideally located on 4 private acres in one of the most desirable areas for lake access, and bordered on 3 sides by forest land. Enjoy the beauty and serenity of a remote getaway while still conveniently located just a few short minutes from all the lake's best attractions: Shasta Caverns, Holiday Harbor, and more. Breathtaking nature views, a themed kids' room, luxurious amenities, and a thoughtfully designed interior make this a can’t-miss stay for both romantic getaways and family vacations.
PRIVATELY OWNED
This home is owned and operated by a single-property private owner, and cared for by local neighbors. Sleep comfortably knowing your stay supports small businesses.
CAPACITY
We can and are happy to accommodate up to 12 guests (max 9 adults,) but we think the space is most comfortable for a group of 8 or less.
SOME THINGS THAT SET THIS HOUSE APART…
SUPERIOR LOCATION
We are ideally located on O'Brien Mountain, a highly sought-after area of the Shasta Lake region, with quick access to the widest areas of the lake, ensuring great opportunities for lake fun even when water levels are at their lowest, plus easy access to the nearby towns and cities. From our front door, you will be only 3-7 minutes from: the I-5, Holiday Harbor, Shasta Caverns, and popular public water access/boat launches/fishing and hiking spots. O’Brien Inlet, just below us, provides some of the very best bass fishing on the lake. You can also enjoy paved road all the way from the highway to our driveway.
AMPLE PRIVATE PARKING
We have over 1600 sq. ft. of designated private parking space on the property, plus a 200+ ft. long driveway, plenty of room for multiple vehicles and your boats or other toys.
ENHANCED CONNECTIVITY
We provide unlimited WiFi and a cell-phone signal booster to help you stay connected during your stay.
PEACE, PRIVACY, & GORGEOUS VIEWS
Your only next-door neighbors are the deer, birds, and other forest wildlife. The house features an abundance of large windows, providing plenty of natural light and a restorative scenic view from every single room. Enjoy bird watching amongst the treetops, colorful sunsets, and incredible star-gazing all right from the living room couch if you like.
NEWLY RENOVATED
Every room has been either fully or partially renovated and/or refurbished during 2025-2026. We’ve made great efforts to ensure Foxfell is more than just beds to sleep in, but also a combination of rustic charm and modern amenities that feels like home.

Smoking and vaping are permitted only within the designated smoking area (found on the back deck, look for the sign.) All butts must be deposited within the provided disposal container. Do not flick or toss them nor allow them to drop between the deck boards where they may create a fire hazard.
There are no fires, candles, nor fireworks (including sparklers) allowed anywhere on the property. The only exceptions are the indoor wood-burning stove and the provided propane BBQ. Please do not bring your own fire pits nor charcoal/wood grills. They cannot be used on the property.
If using the BBQ or indoor wood stove, please be knowledgeable and experienced with their proper use. Always turn propane off when finished BBQ-ing. Burn only firewood (provided) in the wood stove, and always be sure the flue is open and the stove door closed.
