Disappointed. Very friendly staff, but old failing equipment that could not keep up with the extreme summer temperatures. Boat broke down twice on the lake and we had to call for repairs. Continuous issues with the boat and poor AC performance forced us to abandon our vacation early. With over 2 days remaining on our rental, we were refunded less than $250.

We love going to Lake Shasta. Holiday Harbor does its best to take good care of customers. We had a long delay at check in but they helped make it right in the end for us.

Had an alright experience with them. House boats are old 30 plus years. So we arrive for check in when were suppose to3:30 pm. We are told theyre working on the boat and theyll tell us when theyre done . It takes about 3 hours for them to finish. What they were doing was swapping out a engine and temping in a generator. After that one of the light, radio and horn wasnt working so they said theyd come back on the next date to finish it. Three guys had to come back and forth to finish the light. The second day we were leaving a cove and lost hydraulic pressure for the steering wheel

We rented the Marquis houseboat from Holiday Harbor and had a blast! Plenty of room for 5 adults, clean and comfortable and loaded with amenities. Lake Shasta was beautiful even with the low water conditions, and we were able to find plenty of privacy to "park" and enjoy our time together. The staff at Holiday Harbor are the best - friendly and helpful! We will definitely be back.

We've rented our houseboat for several years from Holiday Harbor and always had a great experience. The boat is always ready and all the workers are very friendly as well as the counter folks.

Holiday harbor was amazing. First time renting a houseboat and they took really good care of us. I was uncomfortable driving the houseboat in and out of marina so they did it for me!!! Everyone was so nice and the boats were worth it. Next time we will rent a bigger one!!!

Absolutely had a wonderful time on our Holiday Harbor trip. The company was very professional and friendly and great to work with. The boat was clean and had everything we needed. The prep for the trip was easy as they gave us a list of exactly what we would need. We will most certainly be back!
