Bridge Bay Resort, Redding

This is the most relaxing vacation my husband and I went on. their team of workers was great and very friendly and of course very helpfull since this was our first time there. If you are a fun loving, outdoorzy person then you would love this place, also there is a lot of fish there... just give it a try.... we are planing to go back with my whole family in about 3 weeks :)

We were just driving by and stopped at the Bridge Bay Resort for dinner. The restaurant was located overlooking the lake and marina, a fabulous view. The food was good and reasonably priced. The resort is well maintained and includes a grocery store. There is boat parking in a large dirt lot next to the motel, or better yet you can rent a slip space in the marina and leave your boat in the water for $25 per day during your visit. You then park your empty rig up on the lot. We plan on going back this summer to stay for a week and really enjoy the area and the enormous lake.

Very beautiful area, simple rooms that are clean. Great views. They strive to keep the natural beauty of the area. House boats are wonderful. Staff very friendly. The restaurant is fabulous. Near tours of Shasta Dam, Shasta Caverns, Burney falls and a lot more.

Taking out a houseboat seemed like a large expense with gas prices what they are but, when we weighed the price of a hotel for nine people, eating out, everyone driving around to get there and then sight see, as well as tourist entrance fees to attractions we realized it was great to be able to cook and eat exactly what we wanted. We ate, swam, and slept on our own schedule and our kids did the same. We just came home from what they call off season pricing which made it an even greater deal. We will be going back next fall.
