We rented this home over Memorial Day weekend. It was a perfect space with the downstairs dedicated to the kids and upstairs for the adults. The game room was awesome for our teenagers to hang out and play games.
The home is comfortable and reasonably clean. The towels were a nice quality and bathrooms very clean. The kitchen is on the smaller side but plenty of room for two cooks to make meals. It was very helpful having two refrigerators. The washer and dryer were very useful, as we had lots of wet towels and bathing suits after spending the day at the lake.
We would rent again. Great time overall.

We arrived at 4:45 pm for a 4 pm check in to find the cleaning lady there and a DISGUSTING mess. Whoever rented before us should be forbidden from ever renting again! Our family helped the cleaning lady clean the house until after 7pm. The cleaning lady was wonderful, and Vacasa made it right by us in refunding one night's stay. Worst I have ever seen a property, BUT, that was the fault of the prior renters and I appreciate Vacasa and the cleaning company making this right!

Cabin was challenging getting into, electronic entry instructions not clear. The cabin was well furnished and looked clean as you first enter BUT, several areas of the cabin were dirty and did not look like it had been cleaned in awhile.

Just as described. We loved our stay and wamt to come back.

We really liked the home for its size. The downstairs was nice and spread out for the kids. Virtually no noise upstairs which made it nice. Also, the games were played constantly...air hockey is great. Hot water for all three showers going at the same time is a plus, stuff you normally don't think about.
Not a lot of space for food as all the cabinets were taken with stuff...which was nice as the kitchen is fully stocked with what you need.
The negative - AC is a smart unit controlled by owner and it took over 3 hours for them to release it so we could cool the house. The first night was HOT.
The front door push button code wasn't right so we had Vacasa get us a new code.
The master bedroom lock stayed locked so we could never close the door fully.
The can lights downstairs doesn't have a switch so we couldn't use those and lastly, the downstairs TV didn't have a remote.

Perfect property for our family vacation. We come to Shaver every summer but have never stayed in Ockenden Ranch. This is a quiet nice neighborhood with upscale houses. This house was perfect size, well equipped, and very clean. They also allow pets so we brought our dog. She loved the back yard full of sticks! There are 6 bunk beds, 4 in one room and 2 in an open area for kids. The master bedroom is huge and very comfortable. There are 2 additional bedrooms with a queen and a twin so there are a lot of options. The bunk beds are not really comfortable for adults. The kitchen is very well equipped and there is a new grill on the upstairs deck. Overall great place to stay in Shaver.

Very clean and large cabin. Great place for children especially for games on the lower floor. We were lucky to get snow on the first day and there was plenty of room to play and sled right out in the back yard of the cabin.

I had initially booked this place for 13 people. Due to unforeseen circumstance I made the attempt to cancel and get a refund. I didn’t realize that I was booking a place that did not allow a refund. I called vacasa and they stated they would be unable to give me a refund despite the face that I was asking for it weeks prior to my reservation date. Do not book here unless you are absolutely certain because the company will not provide a refund under no circumstance. They do not care, all they care about is not losing money. I have definitely learned my lesson and will never book with this company again.
Overall, the cabin was nice but, the blankets in one of the rooms had dog hair all over it!! I think it was just folded and put up in the closet. We also had an incident where the house alarm randomly went off. It was blaring for like two minutes straight as we scrambled to look for a number to call or instructions on what to do. We found nothing! Luckily it randomly just stopped going off. Also, The bottom floor of the house is separated from the top area and you have to walk through the garage (super cold) to get from the top floor to the bottom floor.

I booked for Christmas and this house was perfect! Quiet area with plenty of space for the 11 of us with room to spare. It snowed the entire time, which is what we were hoping for, and the kids loved it. There are lovely trails in the back of the house to explore and the kids to play in. The house is well stocked so if you forget something they will probably have it for you to use. The game room was also great with plenty of board games as well as the air hockey table. This house is EXACTLY as advertised; it's a beautiful home.

Pros: Nice vacation rental for large families. Roomy and comfortable. Large refrigerator.
Cons: scratched, flaking cooking pans in kitchen, dull knives.
Luckily I had two of my own skillets, and a couple of sharp knives.
That being said, we enjoyed our stay.
