Welcome to the great outdoors! This home features several amenities to help you enjoy your time out in this little mountain town. The entire group can come together on the deck and cook up some delicious grub on the private gas grill while the sun shines.

Come and enjoy the sounds of birdsong from this delightful mountain town retreat!

Location was excellent. The town was short walk and offered everything we cld need in the mtns. Cabin cld use some TLC. It was nice but dated. Combared to other VRBOs I've used, it was on the lower end. All in all, it worked for my boys and I as a base for us to explore the region.

Comfy home in great location
The house was perfect for my work/vacation. I work remotely and need fast internet access and the Wi-Fi was perfect. The house has a living room, master bed room, kitchen and bathroom on the first floor and two more bedrooms upstairs. I think it’s the perfect size for 4-6 people. I never used the car and walked to restaurants and to the lake. Around the neighborhood are very nice trails and everything is in pristine shape. The lake has everything for boating, fishing and swimming. Yosemite is ~2 hours away and a great national park to visit. I hope to come back some day …

March in Shaver
Finding the cabin was easy enough and just enough space for a family of four with 2 small children. We went at a time when there was just enough snow on the ground to keep a toddler busy and not be overwhelmed by too many vacationers. The cabin, once heated, stayed nicely warm and was well furnished without feeling cramped. If the shower stops when you first turn on the water for the cabin, remove the shower head and clear out the rust and you’ll be good to go! A peaceful stay overall. Beds are firm, the pillows poofy and there is a very comfy recliner with soft extra blankets.

Relax at the bird house
Over all was a nice stay. Wish it was advertised as what the true cost was. The late check in was a bit annoying. However, we did enjoy ourselves. It was nice. Clean definitely a mountain cabin as long as you stayed inside.

Very cute cabin
This cabin was very cute and located close to everything! We really enjoyed our stay, and it’s the perfect place for a family. My only complaint would be the cleanliness of the cabin it’s self. It was pretty dusty, lots of cobwebs and the pot holders had dried food on them.

Convenient location, decent space
We came up here for a little mountain time and to enjoy the snow. It was a nice-sized space and the location was really nice and close to downtown Shaver Lake. The bed in the master bedroom was very uncomfortable, but otherwise the space was nice. We got the standard communication from the owner but I had tried twice to contact them about asking about an extension and they never replied.
