Great for a big groups!

Our group was about half adults and half kids. This house was perfect for us to accommodate everyone’s needs. PLENTY of space for all of us to not feel crowded. The dining room was the perfect size for us all to enjoy a meal together. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the play room and the adults appreciated all of the different tables for games. Everyone was able to enjoy the hot tub as well! It is a quick drive too from downtown Shaver. The neighborhood was very quiet too, which we appreciated. Shortly after arrival, I had noticed that one of the stairs rails was broken. After alerting the host, she promptly responded noting it would be fixed. There was also some basic kitchen supplies that were missing that the host also reimbursed us for very quickly. While that was likely an accident from the house cleaners, it was a slight inconvenience. The biggest drawback from this house was the back deck. We were very disappointed with it. It is very old decking wood, and when our kids played on it, they got splinters almost every time. It is also a multi-level deck and the different transitions are hard to see, so many of our kids were falling often. Several screws holding the decking down were old and starting to poke up out of the wood. We quickly learned to not walk barefoot outside. We would have loved to spend more time on the back deck, but the condition of it was not conducive to that unfortunately. I would not recommend letting kids play on it.

Impressive and enormous mountain family getaway

Our first impression as we walked into this house was impressive. The home is massive with plenty of space for all our family to spread out and relax. There’s also spaces for our large group to congregate for dinner at a massive formal dining table (seats 16 people comfortably). The large living room has several couches to sit back and visit. Windows in every room with gorgeous views of the large open back yard. The house was clean,well maintained and well stocked with whatever we needed. Our host Amanda was was extremely helpful during our stay. She stayed in constant contact and responded quickly to our needs. She even responded personally within minutes to check on a small issue (outstanding service). We have been coming to Shaverlake for years on our annual family getaways. Amanda and this house were the best we’ve experienced. We would book with Amanda and stay at this property again.

Wonderful stay in Shaver Lake

It was meticulously clean…even the forest backyard! Beautifully decorated and so spacious. The family room and the game room is where we spend most of our time and even though there were 10 of us it did not feel crowded. Amanda was wonderful, provided good communication and was very accommodating. We all loved our our stay!!! Thank you!
