It is spotlessly clean, neat, and tidy and has many great amenities. The sheets (so soft) and towels were white fluffy and high quality. The kitchen was perfect for morning breakfast (BEST COFFEE) and evening appetizers. We ordered an amazing Shire-charcuterie board. The second breakfast was wonderful! It was perfect fuel for a long day of hiking. We went to Whiskeytown Area and Shasta ghost town. Wonderful! Thank you for sharing, Diane & Mark

Just had a lovely stay at Connie and Rick Apple's Riverhouse Bed and Breakfast…read more We stayed in the West Room which offered an en-suite bathroom with a large tub and shower, two comfortable sitting chairs, and a deck overlooking the backyard and trees beyond. The bed was very comfortable and quiet location made for a very restful night. Breakfast was basic fare but ample and tasty. Great way to get us on the road. Coffee to go was greatly appreciated too. Both Connie and Rick were welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and certainly would stay here again whether we were traveling through or staying in the area for several days.

Staying at the Apples' Riverhouse when I (we) ended up in Redding for the weekend was very much…read morelike suddenly remembering that I have casual friends in Redding, calling them up, and having them invite me to use their place as my own for the weekend. My friends would say, "Sure, stay here when you're in town. Not a problem at all. We have a guest room, and a really nice backyard. Oh, you're bringing your bicycle(s) too? That's fine; we have a garage where you can keep them safe and dry." What would probably happen next is that we'd avail ourselves of all of this hospitality: my friends would cook us eggs for breakfast, give us glasses of wine in the evening, and let us go about our business in between the breakfast and the wine. And then, not ready to say goodbye to the weekend yet, we would probably go off on a long hike and not come back to collect our bicycles until nigh dark. When we finally made it back, my friends would be worried about us and would have already called around to try to find out whether we were okay. All in all, quite nice. It's good to have old friends in Redding.

This place is under new ownership, the rooms are decorated so cute and cozy, the food is amazing!…read morewe rented the smaller room for extra guest that could not fit in our vacation house. They had a little trouble with the heating and the room was a little small. We went back for Valentine's four course meal at $18.95 per person and $5 dollar cork fee ( I only like sulfate free organic wines) And for Easter Brunch BEST CLAM CHOWDER EVER since I moved here from the east coast and trust me I have tried a lot of places. I will say the rooms are a bit pricey yet the food is amazing for the bucks! So if you need a New England clam chowder fix take a nice drive and check this guys out. Oh and their hours for dinner are only Thursday, Friday, Saturday and awesome brunch on Sunday.

We will return if life calls us back to this vicinity. Plenty of dining options within walking distance. Off street parking too. Don't second guess yourself. This is place is worth it. Much nicer than staying at a generic hotel.

I stayed here in lieu of other hotels in the area since I would be attending a wedding in Redding…read more Needless to say, Yelp did not steer me wrong again! I was so happy with my bed and breakfast experience that I definitely will trust my fellow reviewers in the future. First, Janelle was super accommodating and let me check in early because I would be attending the wedding and needed to get ready. She followed up with me on text message as to my arrival time to make sure that she would be there to greet me. When I walked in, I noticed my phone number was coded to the key pad entrance to the B&B. So cool! Janelle was there to greet me and give me an envelope with my key and instructions. I went up with her to the bedroom and needless to say, was so impressed with her style and quality that she brings to her B&B. The room seemed to be flawless in the way that she spent time picking out pictures and linens. The linens were even washed in a very nice fabric softener and didn't have that normal "hotel" smell. I was able to get the Sun Dial Room, and even though it was the most expensive, it was definitely worth every penny. There was a fresh, large bottle of water in the room with chocolates. I had free wifi and a nice flat screen TV. A jacuzzi tub. And oh, did I mention.. the best, most comfortable bed that I never wanted to leave? Top it off.. breakfast in the morning makes me giddy just thinking about it. I had french toast, a vegetable frittata, potatoes, chicken/apple sausage, fresh juice and coffee. Janelle served breakfast promptly at 8:30 and I was definitely there with bells on. Everything was served family style and while eating breakfast you are able to enjoy the company of other guests, which makes breakfast that much more entertaining. For a few bucks more, stay at this bed and breakfast. Completely avoid the Howard Johnson or other chain hotel. You will not be disappointed.

If cleanliness is important to you, I wouldn't recommend staying here. We had to have cleaning crew…read morecome in and address months worth of dust, after everyone was up all night coughing. There were spider webs everywhere, ceiling fans looked like they hadn't been cleaned. Even their own cleaning crew said it was bad. This was concerning to me because they charge everyone a $265 cleaning fee. Then when this was discussed with Lori, she was confused as to why we didn't bring it up at check in. I didn't know I had to thoroughly inspect the cleanliness of a rental upon arrival. I thought it was standard. Not here apparently. Lori was responsive but continued to make comments as things came up like "I'm surprised you're deciding to stay", as if we didn't pay $800/night to stay there. Their stove burners had issues the whole weekend, the slider wouldn't lock, they were using a PVC pipe for safety. House was very dated for the price. Views were beautiful but Wasn't impressed with the house at all.

We came in March while it was raining so we stayed inside most of the time but we can imagine coming here in the summer. There is so much to do and explore on land and on water. There are two lakefront retreats to choose from. We stayed in retreat #1 which sleeps 10 people. You can stroll down to the marina and boat docks. They also have a hot tub that you can use. We really enjoyed it on the cold day that we stayed.

It feels safer and community-like in person. The check in was smooth. The associate was polite and very helpful. The room had way too much perfume air freshener. Fortunately, the windows opened fully and the room aired out quickly. We stayed in the Nuthatch room. There was a relaxing patio out front. The room was super spacious. It had hardwood floors, a king bed, loveseat, a bistro table with 2 chairs, an armoire, chest of drawers, and the standard room amenities. The bathroom was away from the living area which was nice. The shower was huge! Everything was clean which was impressive for such a large room. We ordered two Indian dinners from the limited menu. The price was very reasonable, it was delivered to our room, the portions were large, and it was delicious. There was an air conditioner outside that was audibly off and on all night, but once we were asleep it was a non-issue. Breakfast in the morning was terrific. We asked for a specific 30-minute time-frame for delivery. The time could not be guaranteed, but breakfast was delivered as requested. The only negative was the many texts and emails prior to arrival. We plan on returning just to try a different room. We would definitely recommend The Inn at Shasta Lake!

They allow pets in certain rooms which is nice if you're traveling with dogs! I enjoyed how communicative the staff were. If you needed something, you can text a number and they were on it! They advertise that you may not have service here, but we had service and they also had wifi. They had great views outside on the deck. The grounds were nicely maintained. It was very easy to get here and right off highway 5. On the other hand, being a bed and breakfast I was expecting breakfast to be a bit better tasting. Breakfast is included in your stay. They provide fruit, yogurt, granola, juice, coffee, and toast. You get to also choose one main entree served with a side of potatoes. The main entree rotates so it's different daily. Overall breakfast could definitely be improved taste wise, but it's very convenient and nice of them to do this. Another downfall was the temperature in the main lobby/ dining area. They ran it hot in there and if you needed to get ice (they don't have ice machines, so they provide buckets of ice) it was all melted. This happened twice. Minor complaints!
