About this property

The Hawk’s Nest is the perfect location for a romantic getaway or a small family vacation

The Hawk’s Nest is the perfect location for a romantic getaway or a small family vacation. The property will feel just the right amount of secluded, yet your still walking distance from all of the shops, restaurants, and activities in the area.

THE SPACE-
The unit provides a well-equipped kitchen that’ll have all the basic cookies supplies and dishes you may need during your stay. There is a dining table for two and a bar area for any additional guests.

The bedroom includes a King size bed that sits near the wood burning making it the coziest in the winter. A large wall-to-wall window and skylights flood the suite with natural light and gives some amazing views of the pine trees.

The living room area has a couch that folds down into a Full-size bed. Families have the option to have it in a couch or bed form during their stay. There is also a TV that has a Roku device connected, so you can stream all of your favorite movies and TV shows!

The bathroom has a very spacious layout and includes a walk-in shower, sink, toilet, full size mirror, and some shelves for your bathroom supplies. We will provide you with towels and soaps during your stay.

In an effort to accommodate our most sensitive guests, we have opted to create an allergen-free environment. This means there are no feathers or down in this home.

The outdoor amenities are just as spectacular! There are two separate firepit areas that offer a bar top, charcoal BBQs, and plenty of chairs for your friends and family to sprawl out and enjoy the fresh mountain air. There is also a large deck that can serve as an outdoor dining area that has a picnic table and another charcoal BBQ.

THINGS TO KNOW-
I like to give my guests their privacy during their stay and let them enjoy themselves. However, I am always available for any questions or recommendations!

While the Hawk’s Nest feels just the right amount of secluded, you’re still walking distance from all of our favorite shops and restaurants. The lake is approx. 1 mile down the road, so it’s a very short drive. You can also take a hiking trail located right across the street from the property that will lead you to the lake, or the museum where you can learn all about the history that makes Shaver Lake what it is today!

If you’re visiting in the winter months, China peak Ski Resort is about 25-minute drive from the property where you can go skiing/snowboarding. There is also a couple of snow parks where you and your family can go sledding.

This building is a 4-plex, meaning it provides four separate rentals each with its own private entrance. The only shared space will be outside the building where the firepits and picnic table is located. There is plenty of room for our guests to spread out and enjoy the outdoors with their friends and family!

Lovely open space living for a small family. We had our kids with us and very thoughtfully the futon bed was made up and ready when we arrived. No bath but that was about the only thing we missed. Central and totally walkable but off the highway. Will happily return.

Family ski trip

Hawk's Nest met our needs for a cozy resting place on our ski trip to China Peak. One highlight was waking up to the snow falling outside the big window by our bed. The kitchen was clean and well organized. We had everything we needed to cook our meals...and we cooked every night we were there. The bathroom is spacious and very clean. Stormy, the property manager, was responsive and made sure our needs were met, too. Highly recommend!

The property manager, Stormy Barnes, is fantastic! The property is not. There were nice touches, like a comfortable king-size bed and nice soap, but they could not make up for the terrible smell of the place and the moldy towels. The property may want to invest in a water filtration system. I could smell and taste the water from 3 feet away. I was worried people could smell it on me after my shower. Stormy is great, but I could not stay here again until a lot of improvements are made.

Hi, my name is Stormy. I am owner/operator of Sierra Sky Property Management. I've been a Shaver Lake local of nearly 10 years and I love to spend my spare time enjoying all the Sierra Nevada Mountains has to offer. After working many years at a hotel, I fell in love with the idea of making sure others are having a good time and encouraging others to get outdoors. I love to share recommendations and hope to provide the best experience possible!
