Cute and cozy

Beautiful location and not far from lake/park. I liked the communication from host, as this was my first time not staying at a hotel. This was new for me and they made it really easy and convenient.

NOT AS ADVERTISED

The location is ideal about 7min from the lake. However, this property is not being kept up. Below are the issues we had: - no A/C despite listing (owner told us that would be removed from listing immediately) - ceiling fan in main room doesn’t turn on - all of window shades broken - either won’t stay up or won’t come down - front door scrapes across floor and doesn’t open beyond half way without significant pushing (fire hazard) - garage door doesn’t open using button (we never found remote); - laundry closet is hanging off hinge and fell on us when opening door - grill is unusable because it is so dirty - fire pit doesn’t work (despite having propane) - shower door in upstairs bathroom broken - no remote for tv in main bedroom so can’t watch tv - almost all towels provided have stains - no ceiling fan and window doesn’t close in upstairs bedroom (heat made it unbearable to sleep there) We reached out to owner and after our messages on the first few problems were not resolved, we didn’t bother reporting the rest as it was unlikely to be addressed.

4th of July weekend

This house has a great location, but this house needs a ton of TLC! Doors don’t open close very good, front porch and back deck are rotted out, back rail on patio is 1 screw from falling over, not many pots/pans. Cabinets are empty, the front door lock is junk had to go through a window to get it! This is like a section 8 rental in shaver.. would not book again.

quick review

The location of the property is fantastic. I think they should tell you the one bedroom is in the garage. the kitchen is a little under stocked and there is definitely delayed maintenance the decks and siding Also the remote in the master bedroom has no volume and the garage door opener doesn’t work.

Best weekend

This place was , the location was perfect. My family and I definitely enjoyed the rental. Just a couple of minor things. Fire pit outside didnt have any propane. We left it half full for the next to enjoy. Also no bbq grill , so bring your own. Also the front and back doors either have to be lifted when opening or it sticks Other than that it was great... thanks again to the host for the hospitality..

Great, cozy cabin!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cabin and will definitely inquire to stay there again. One suggestion would be to have just a few more “cooking staples” in the cabinets like olive oil, cooking spray and seasonings. Overall, however, our stay was great!

Great place, close to town and easy access to China Peak.

We really loved the stay. The location is a quick drive to town and right off the main road. There's a nice little hike down a fire road just a little ways down. And it was really easy to get to China Peak. The property was clean, there were plenty of beds that were comfortable and the back deck was a nice place to hang out.

Amenity condition

The coat rack by the entry door was screwed into drywall and immediately fell when hanging a jacket. I noticed someone else had the same problem and relocated it without success. The out door fire pit was a complete mess and would not light. The burner was filled with wet ash from a prior guest burning wood on top of it. I spent about an hour cleaning it out and was able to get it to work but very little flame would show above the rocks. It needs servicing. The front door is hard to lock when leaving. It needs servicing also. Overall we had a great time and enjoyed your cabin!

Beautiful Cabin

Overall great location & beautiful cabin. Only thing wrong was the fridge was not working. I notified Hal the first night but nothing was done due to timing. Most of my food went bad which was a bummer since we had to eat out & spend more money than anticipated. A little trash under couches and master pillow had a bad smell. Other than that I highly recommend this beautiful cabin. My kids loved it.

About the host

Host profile image
Hello, I'm Hal Sousa

I love to get away once in a while, get to know new places and new experiences.

My family consists of my beautiful 3 year old daughter (Halona), my 13 year old step son (Drew) and my amazing supportive wife (Nana).

I'm a Real Estate Agent/Investor and it is true what they say... "Once you love what you do, you will never work another day in your life!"

I host a few places here and my goal is to make your stay as enjoyable as possible! read less

Why they chose this property

This has always been a dream to own a cabin in Shaver as I love the outdoors.
I named the cabin after my Daughter Halona which makes the place special forever!

What makes this property unique

I love everything about this place from its location to the way it's set up. The tall entry and the dual decks were major selling points when I first looked at it. I Hope you enjoy it and come back again!
