Loaded with fine workmanship and lots of room for the whole family, this charming Shaver Lake home has it all! From the local pine flooring and glass sinks to the private pool table, this is the ideal spot for group getaways or family retreat!

Perched on a hilltop overlooking the majestic pines, this home gives you plenty of privacy while still having easy access to all of the outdoor fun.

And when the snow is falling, make the quick 20-mile drive to China Peak Mountain Resort to shred the downhill runs.

Start the day with a cup of coffee by the warmth of the gas fireplace, then toss in a load of laundry in the private washer/dryer. Break out the provided board games or have a billiards tournament on the private table (the game room also has its own kitchenette, so grabbing a snack is easy).

Great Large House close to Shaver Lake

Our family had a wonderful stay at this mountain home. There were enough bedrooms for everyone to have their own space. The game room was very fun! The kitchen is very stocked and was a joy to cook in.

Great Stay!

Everything was great, super clean, everything we needed in the house. Over all great experience. Definitely would recommend. Only thing is it’s a 3 story with lots of stares so if you’re not a fan of stares I wouldn’t stay here.

Minor details

Cabin was beautiful and very cozy. Only minor defects such as bathrooms not having curtains, middle bedroom mattress being squeaky and stairs not elderly friendly but beautiful views and perfect for large families.

Infested with mice

This place is huge and a great cabin for a large family. Unfortunately it is infested with mice. The mice ate food on the counters, left droppings on our nightstands, beds, downstairs couch. We could hear them chewing something in the walls at night. I contacted the property management team 3 times while we were in the cabin to get some sort of help. They said their manager would call me back. It’s been a couple weeks now and I still haven’t received a phone call. I’m concerned the owners of the property are unaware of this health concern. I was surprised I wasn’t offered any compensation or to change to a different cabin due to the health concerns and diseases mice carry. Also the house is very dusty. The central air filter looks like it hasn’t been changed in years and the fan in the living room has dust caked on the blades. If they fixed these things then it would’ve been a much different trip for our family.

Mouse poop everywhere!! Filthy, unsanitary house!!!

Terrible, awful experience. Mouse poop everywhere. Trash strewn everywhere inside and outside. Dead mice in cabinets. Filthy sheets, no mattress covers. Only one flat sheet per bed. No cleaners, soaps, coffee, salt… anything. Zero help or solutions from management company (vacasa)

Great for groups or multiple families

Loved the layout of the home. We went with a group of parents and teenage girls. They loved having their own bedroom and lounge area downstairs . Lots of seating and big dining room table was nice. Comfortable furniture, big kitchen with lots of dishes/cooking equipment. Was disappointed in the hot tub. It was one of the reasons we booked this home . It was cloudy and smelled like mold, so unfortunately we didn’t feel comfortable using it. The propane was empty. We planned to bbq the first night we were there and unfortunately had to change our plans since the propane didn’t arrive till the next day. One note would be to hang curtains or blinds in the bathrooms and maybe living room. It made it a little uncomfortable to not have those covered especially with teenage girls showering there. Overall would definitely stay again. Beautiful home with lots of immensities and plenty of space for everyone,

Hill top vacation

Well, the house was nice! And we had a good time with our family, but there was a lot of things not working for instance the WI-FI was bad some TV’s didn’t work the cable had past recording of movies and shows, The gaming machine didn’t work, the pool table was missing chalk and pool sticks where not useable, we couldn’t use the fire pit, the stove wasn’t that great, the main fridge didn’t get cold, water didn’t get hot and some of the sinks didn’t drain well, the light out side to the hot tub didn’t work so we couldn’t use it at night. For the price we paid we should had all the things work. The location was nice but the back of house had a busy road and we can see and hear all the cars fly by.

Wonderful stay

The house was amazing. Everything was decorated well. The beds were comfortable Tons of amenities. Instructions were clear, except how to lock the house up. If we wanted to go somewhere, we were unable to retrieve a key it was not clear how to get it or how to lock up when we left. but the reason for the four is because of the overall cleanliness of the house, there was mouse droppings under the sink in the master bathroom, and in the master bed between the blanket and the sheets it seem like they weren’t washed. We also had to wash the sheets in the extra room, but what really makes me cringe is the last day my niece woke up and found a dirty sock under her pillow & it didn’t belong to any of us. There was also toilet paper rings around the tongs in the kitchen, which is kind of gross. Overall, we made amazing memories &the house was fantastic for us. We would stay here again because of it & just check our bedding. hope that this message helps the owners toget better cleaners

Amazing house, but with a mold/mildew problem. Vacasa is terrible.

We LOVED this house, but Vacasa management is knowingly renting a house that has had multiple complaints of wet, smelly carpet in a bedroom (likely from snow melt intrusion). I called Vacasa daily and never got any help to make the bedroom useable. We rented a 4 bedroom house for 9 guests and were forced to consolidate into 3 bedrooms as the mildew odor in the wet room was not tolerable. I was really hoping to get the carpet dried during our stay, but Vacasa ignored our daily requests. Ultimately we were credited $280 back, but nothing was done about the moldy/mildew carpet. Very unfortunate and potentially unhealthy situation. Renters beware.

Great family get away

This is a very nice property and we had a wonderful time. Our group- 2 adults/ 6 teens. We enjoyed most of the amenities. The home was nicely situated a short drive outside of Shaver Lake. Only 5 minutes from pizza and about 10 min to the marina. The neighborhood was nice for walking. Please note that this property is adjacent to the main highway into Shaver and beyond. If you want to feel secluded, the road noise might be bothersome. If you look over the road, the views and sunsets are lovely. We did use earplugs at night and eye masks as the car lights flashed on the curtains of the master bedroom. Suggestion- Please replace the curtains with ones that adequately cover the windows and light block. Small fix= big impact. We should have been told about the construction next door! Not cool! Heavy equipment was in operation early Saturday morning. Set the expectation to avoid upset guests. The layout of the home was terrific for our needs. Food and entertainment are on the top, quiet rooms are in the middle, and games are below. There is a TV in pretty much every room! After 2 days my legs did notice the trilevel stairs impact so I would not recommend this property if you are mobility impaired. The game room is a blast! Not everything works perfectly, but if you roll or slide with it, all is fun. The kids really wished the video game worked. The card table was also a big hit (needs more chairs). The hot tub was nice. Looked clean and was warm. The lid needs repair/replacement but worked well. There are plenty of dishes for a large group. We did cook a little and found what we needed. Basic appliances were on site and working (toaster, coffee maker, Keurig, crockpot, and cookware). As with most vacation homes, plan to bring your own foil, wrap, dishwasher pods and etc as well as any spices. There was salt but not even pepper. I would suggest a booklet for the house. As someone who does not have DirectTV or cable, initially, the electronics seemed daunting, but we did figure them out and connected our RUKU. I could not figure out how to turn off the light on the firepit side. Minor issues- Internet connection glitched and Vacasa was very responsive. We got it working. The lock box is more than frustrating. The lock is finicky. Check-out was at 10 am which seems early, especially on a Sunday so we booked an extra day so we could enjoy the day. This is a great house for any group. I would book for a week or longer if dogs were allowed.

Great place for a large family vacation

Loved everything about the place but as is the case with most rentals, there were a number of amenities that were in need of repair, upgrade, etc. Most of it was small stuff and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend highly.
