We had a great time over four days and a birthday. Stayed in the RV campground, very nice and quiet. Rented a pontoon boat and had a blast out on the lake.We will be back soon!!

I reserved two kayaks at this place. Due to a change of plan, I canceled my reservation more than 7 days in advance. Instead of giving a full refund, they charged 50% of the total cost on my credit card. This is completely unreasonable. I would never use this place again.

The houseboats are ridiculous priced for what you have to deal with. No room for docking the boat and the fact you pay all that money and have to clean them when you return it, not like a motel room that cost so much less. And you have to pay for the gas that you use. So for the 4 days cost us almost $3000 dollars. We could went to Jamaica and would've been cheaper so no we don't recommend the houseboats.Safety: The docks are old and so many tripping hazards. Completely unsafe especially for older people that already have a hard time getting around.

Everything was great with Holiday Harbor. The ladies when making the reservation were always very nice to talk when calling. The guys down at the dock when you check in and get orientation were great too. Rusty did a great job explaining the operation and functions of the houseboat. Randy helped us back out of the spot where we loaded the boat with our supplies and took us down to the gas dock to leave from there where there was more room to maneuver. The houseboat ran very well and everything worked without any issues. We explored a good part of the lake and came back to get gas and were surprised we had only used half a tank so far.

First time to Lake Shasta and first time to holiday harbor. Spent 5 days in the RV park with our 24' boat slipped adjacent to the campground. It was fantastic - the marina & RV park are run like a well oiled machine. Every staff member we encountered was extremely nice, friendly & helpful from the ladies in the office to the gas pump attendants to the amazing shuttle driver (Doug?) and can we talk about Sammy - such a cool dude and so helpful. We will definitely be back and will probably rent a houseboat and bring our kids and their families too.

This was our fist time renting a houseboat so I dont really have anything to compare it to. The houseboat was old but everything worked. The ski boat throttle was horrible but that is about the only complaint we had. We rented the Empress with 2 other families, 12 people total and had an amazing week at the lake. Can't wait to come back. All of the staff at Holiday Harbor were super friendly and helpful!

Beautiful nature. Houseboat was old but had all facilities and the staff was helpful when the waste water tank was full just after 1 shower (16 guests). Had to change plans as we had to visit center for flushing the water water out.It's a fantastic holiday location.

14th time w Holiday Harbor over last 20 years. We are a creature of habit and Holiday Harbor use to reward for repeat business… no more. Boats are old and problems always arise (this trip no hot water for four of the seven days). Good value still in comparison to other houseboat companies.Noteworthy details: Loading and unloading is always difficult but worth it if you want everything at hand for a good Vaca! The lake is the best. 100’s of miles of coastline to choose ‘your spot’.

We love houseboating on Lake Shasta and have been loyal customers of Holiday Harbor for literally decades. The reservation and office staff are lovely. We were a bit disappointed with the condition of the boat (they are very old at this point) and we had a couple of minor mechanical problems that, while easily resolved, made for a less than perfect experience. Our primary complaint in this regard was the lack of clear communication from the maintenance staff. As it happens, we eventually learned that we had the ability to resolve the problem (a generator issue) on our own, but weren't told this when the problem first surfaced. The lack of good information became a real concern when the generator problem recurred after hours and in a place where we had no cell service. So, we spent a night worrying unnecessarily about our battery. All's well that ends well, though. And we ultimately enjoyed ourselves, as we always do at the lake.

From the moment we arrived we encountered boat problems on our personal boat, then car trouble at the same time. The team here at Holiday Harbor went above and beyond to repair our boat within a an hour, plus helped take care of fixing the car issues as well.I love the people at that place and would highly recommend renting from here in the future.

We had so much fun camping here. The dogs got into some pokeys and there's no wifi, but I had T-Mobile service so I shared my hotspot. We stayed in site 17 which had a view of the lake behind us. We already made reservations for next year!

The Marina folks were very nice and accommodating. The RV Park could use some rules, maintenance, and management, but we made the best of it and had a nice time!Nearby activities: Lake Shasta is the best for water sports, relaxing, and exploring!
