Just ok

The location of this property was great. The communication with the property manager, not so good. The house itself was doable, just what you'd expect for the cost, but there were a few issues. The first evening there, we found that the main bathroom sink and shower were having issues draining. The shower would back up enough to cover your feet. The next morning we attempted to flush the upstairs toilet and it was clogged, and not from our use. As we we left the cabin, the first 3 steps were solid ice where the water dripped off the roof. That wasn't bad but a little difficult to get passed those steps and there was no salt to put on the ice. When we returned, that evening, the keypad was gliching and it took several minutes to get in, despite using the correct code each time. Also, the dead bolt didn't work. There was a snow storm a couple days before we arrived and that was to be expected, but the back porch with the fire pit and bbq pit was buried in snow and nobody attempted to clear it before we arrived. There was no snow shovel for us to clear the snow to use the area. Our checkout instructions said to start the dishwasher and strip the bedding, there was no dishwasher tablets, I didn't know we had to bring our own. The shower issue got worse so we left a day early to avoid the potential of any other issues with the rest of the plumbing. it took 2 days for the host to respond to my messages about the issues we were having.

Responsive management company

The management company was very responsive when we reached out about cleanliness concerns. Overall, the cabin needs some TLC and deep cleaning. Parking was a little confusing and should be explained upon check in.

Great little cabin with a wonderful deck. Enjoyed the gas fire pit and the BBQ. Kitchen was nicely stocked. Would have been nice to have extra blankets but the space heaters worked well.

Cute Cabin

Cute cabin, quiet location. Shaver lake itself is beautiful but unfortunately the shoreline had a lot of trash. Beer cans, cloths, dirty diaper. Very sad and disappointed with the lake area. Just hung out at the cabin and played games.

Disappointed

The cabin was cute, but very stuffy, no ceiling fans… strong odor of paint, or shellack. Stairway carpets were very stained, there was a dead spider in the freezer, soiled sheets upstairs (they had mucus on them), and a used paper bowl on the TV cabinet.

Not quite up to par this time

The downstairs bed had no pillowcases. Deck and porch looked like they haven’t be swept for quite awhile. No umbrella on deck this time. Just thought you’d like to know….

Winter Vacation

Fun, uncrowded, lots of snow, great cabin...maybe get a better mattresses and change the directions on Google maps to "your destination is on the right" instead of "left". Thank you and we'll be back !!!

Nice little Cabin

It was comfortable, a little hard to find at night and could have been cleaner. There were dirty dishes in the dishwasher and wet dishes in the cabinets. Location was great and everything worked as expected. Overall no issues with our stay.

Nice Location

This house is it a nice quiet neighborhood and let us bring our dog which we liked. We also appreciated the gas fireplace, powerful wall heater, and plenty of space heaters to keep everything warm during a cold and stormy weekend. Overall the house is dated and quite worn, and was not super clean, but nothing we couldn't live with. Zero instructions or guidance upon arrival, no checkout instructions or anything like that which we found strange. Important to note that Google maps thinks the house is on the plot of land across the street so be prepared to spend some time looking, especially if you show up in the dark. I would probably shop around before staying here again but overall it was fine and we had a nice vacation.

Week in the Woods

This house was great for our family for the 5 days. The only things I would mention is that they do not provide any additional household items if you run out. After 3 of our 5 days we were getting low on TP, and told that they do not restock Toilet Paper or papertowels. There are also no kitchen towels, we ended up using bathroom handtowels. There is also no clear identification of what to do with trash. We had a few bags and were told to use the provided cans on property, but there were none. I dont think the person answering text questions, is actually local, or has any idea what the property situation is. Other than that it was a great stay and we had a good time in the mountains with family.

Cozy simple cabin

This cozy simple cabin is in a quiet area just a 5-7 minute ride by car into the town of Shaver. The place is functional and clean, however it does not have enough warm bedding — we went into town and bought blankets. There are several space heaters and an electric fireplace, but it snowed so the summer bedding didn’t cut it! The owners definitely need to invest in new door handles/locks. The doors were difficult to close and lock from the inside and the top locks on both doors did not work. Overall we enjoyed our stay, thanks!

Very much a cabin in the woods

This place had very much a cabin feel, which is what we were looking for. The indoors looked like it had been updated recently and we were very happy that it was not in the burn area.

Cozy cabin with great outdoor space

Loved the outdoor space, the wifi, the washer/dryer. Good enough space for a family. I do feel like a few small updates could make a huge difference. There wasn’t any extra toilet paper or trash bags, so we had to buy some; coffee maker didn’t work; dishwasher was literally falling over.

Cottage in Shaver Lake

We loved having two sledding trails nearby, yet would have liked closets in the bedrooms. Also the back door to the deck/balcony was difficult to pull open, and there were not enough towels in the upstairs bathroom.

Very cute cabin nestled into a quiet neighborhood. Great back deck with fire pit. Kitchen could have used an extra pot or two and better lighting (it was almost cooking in the dark)!
