Michele is amazing. I sent a reservation inquiry and she called me back promptly that day. She was…read moreso upbeat and fun to talk to and genuinely excited to host me. She wasn't pushy at all and didn't upsell me anything - just gave me all the tips and info. We decided on a tandem snowmobile for an hour with a guide. We arrived 20 minutes late but she was so professional - she shortened and made the check in process so easy. There was a cabin with fire where you can change since Deer Mountain was quite cold and was snowing that day desolate the snow drought. She was mega attentive and taught us everything and told us exactly where we were going. She took couple of pictures for us and explained what we'll see had it not been so foggy. On the way back when we stopped at a viewpoint my boyfriend accidentally accelerated and we toppled right where the cliff started - Michele rushed over and helped us up and we genuinely concerned for our well being. We're so grateful she was our guide and can't recommend her enough. She's an amazing person with a beautiful smile and we definitely suggest everyone go snowmobile with her, especially first timers!

Do NOT USE this place under any circumstances!!!!! We rented a SeaDoo on Labor Day weekend! First…read morethe owners tried to sell us this 2007 SeaDoo for $4,000. We said, No thank you, we will just rent it. Took the stupid thing out for a total of 6 hours and the light started blinking, the next thing you know it's only running 5 miles per hour. We managed to ride it back to the rental company before they closed and swap it out! They had no problems swapping it out...obviously they knew it had issues! They told us...oh it might be the pump, I'll have my husband look at it, maybe you picked up rocks??? Or maybe NOT! This isn't our first time...we're out on the lake every Labor Day! A week and a half later my credit card it charged over $800 for the repair! I've got no description of work preformed or service done. When my sister called to see what the deal was, she was like oh ya, I picked up the parts today and my husbands going to fix it...save you guys some money ! Really!!!! Then I called and she was unwilling to speak to me and HUNG UP ON ME!!!! I guess I'll see you in small claims court! Not only that...bad yelp reviews are going to cost you a lot more! Stay away from this place!!!!!

Despite the jet skis delivery and pick up to/from the lake being 30 minutes late each way, my…read morefamily had a blast. Why the -2 stars? My family and I have been renting jet skis around the globe for years, and not once did anyone perform a post-use inspection. I have no problem with them performing a post-use inspection, but if you are going to do that, you need to also do a pre-use inspection in front of us. We were on the lake, away from debris and the shore, yet she said the jet ski sucked up something and was damaged. We were charged an additional fee for parts and labor for repairs. The thing is, if you didn't perform a pre-use inspection in front of the customer, how do we know this isn't previous damage? Do they do this to all unsuspecting customers? Who knows. Lesson learned for next time.

I was there at the start of off-season, early October. They have limited hours and even more…read morelimited staff. Most of the staff are busy working on winter repairs of the facility, so if you need someone, call first. Noone will ever answer the phone, so just leave a message. They are responsive. I rented PWC SeaDoo's. They were newer and in good condition. Expensive, but worth it. They are not good communicators, but nice friendly people. Expect to take an hour to rent anything, and another hour to return and process paperwork. It's the only game in town, on the north end of the Sacramento arm, of Shasta Lake. Overall, the marina and docks were in good condition. They have gas too.

The only drawback about Antlers dock, is you can't see the numbers for the slips at all, unless your standing in the dock.

The first time we did the houseboating trip, it was actually quite fun. The boat was pretty clean…read moreand in pretty good shape. For the money you would spend on renting a boat, you expect the boats to be clean and in tip-top shape. The last time we did a boat trip, the boat was really dirty. The rugs and the upholstery on the seating was totally disgusting. It was just not acceptable when you consider the cost. The trip itself fun if there is not a drought. The lake just is not as pretty when it's low. Houseboating is very much like camping. It's a lot of work. And managing the boat can add stress. We had an issue with the speedboat and spotty cell service. When we were able to get through, the office didn't answer. It was really stressful.

The barbecue does not work nor does the refrigerator. Air conditioner not sized appropriately and is at least 20 years old. Paint on exterior is peeling. At the marina, the staff lets dog roam free and are allowed to pee and poop anywhere on the deck where the public is, especially with toddlers around. You check in at 1:30 but can't board until 5 because they have not cleaned the boat, so you lose 1/2 day of your time. Only one quad to unload everyone so that takes 3 hours when you come in. Launch ramp was not ready on arrival so you must pay $15 for the public launch and not reimbursed. Overall a terrible experience since change of ownership. We've been coming here 16 years but the experience this year is so bad we will never come back. Obvious the owners are not putting anything into this business. No star at all is best.

It was 111 degrees when we arrived, the heat slowly dissipated as the days wore on, but the AC kept us cool, even in the two loft bedrooms. The only mechanical issue we encountered was the lake water pressure, but the techs easily fixed it. The marina store had snack items (mainly ice cream treats for us) at fair prices. Our boat was fully equipped with an array of cookware and entertaining pieces, Pottery Barn dishes and quality kitchen gadgets-- even a Pampered Chef garlic press. Our hot tub was clean and fully functional. The staff was professional- Every one of them that we interacted with. I highly recommend this company!

My cousin and I found the honey hole on the Sacramento Point that Bob told us about. We slayed them just like he told us we would. Trolling for trout has never been so much fun for me or my cousin. We know how to use our down riggers. We know how to set up the lines. We didn't know where the fish were. That was until we met Bob Telles of The Reel Thing. I came across The Reel Thing July 27, 2016. My cousin and I had just pulled the boat up into the shade so we could start prepping it for the week ahead of fishing. Shortly after we began our setup a gentleman came down the hill in a golf cart. He circled around the boat and asked, "Are you guys going to be here long?" We replied with a friendly no. The next thing you know this gentleman introduced himself as Bob and began telling us about the fish. Bob gave my cousin and I so much detailed information our brains almost exploded. Bob then let it be known he is a guide on Shasta and has many years on Shasta and other lakes. Bob's friendly demeanor and willingness to provide so much information to non paying people was so amazing. He was not trying to sell us a guided trip. He didn't tell us to get off his lake. He told us that he loves giving out the information because it is what he loves to do. Put people on the fish! Bob Telles put us on the fish alright.
