Great stay for our family
We have stayed at many places over this years this was by far the cleanest. The house has everything you need for a great stay at Shaver Lake. I think parking instructions should be included with the check in process due to parking spots only being accessed from a different street than the address but otherwise can’t wait to come back! Thanks for having us!

Cozy Cabin with Great Location
We love this cabin and all of the cozy features! There is a cute breakfast nook just off the updated kitchen as well as seating at the island. The comfy sofa is situated perfectly so you can still be engaged with anyone in the room. All of the beds were very comfortable & well equipped with extra blankets for chilly nights. The upstairs bathroom has a unique claw foot bathtub and shower combo, plus the main room is extremely spacious with a loveseat. We definitely loved access to the updated dryer once we got back from skiing & the close to town location for a quick drive/walk to local restaurants & stores. Our three boys (3-10) really loved the authentic cabin decor & the wrap around deck for amazing views. Parking is tricky & could be better explained. The biggest set back this trip was that upon arrival we immediately saw too many signs that the cabin hadn’t been properly cleaned from previous guests. We are still working with the property manager to resolve th issue. Overall we’d still recommend this cabin for its excellent location, updates & overall coziness!

Ski trip
Overall, very cozy home. Parking wasn’t explained well in the description, could be quite difficult for some people to get up or down to the house. Good supplies, a beautiful view of the city lights down below from back deck.

Snow day
Property was great. Was clean, good layout and had everything we needed. Parking was a little confusing as access to parking spaces was from another street?
