Our family had a wonderful time at this cabin. Jamie was very responsive to any questions we had. It has an extremely well stocked kitchen and plenty of room upstairs for the kids. Since we were there during a heat wave, the A/C did make us comfortable in the afternoons. Plenty of room to park boat trailers. Bocce ball was a very big hit!

Our family has stayed in the Elderberry Retreat for two winters in a row now and we cannot recommend it enough. The location is great as its an easy walk into the village to restaurants and coffee shops. The cabin itself is great for a family. The kids love the loft and the front yard is large and the perfect place to play in the snow. The host is fantastic and very easy to work with. We cannot wait to return again next winter!

The Elderberry Retreat is a wonderful cabin. There was plenty of room for our family of 4. The kitchen was well stocked, clean, and overall felt very homey. Located is a quiet neighborhood just down the street from the main road. The Foosball table and games were a big hit.

It has cute little touches that enhance the ambiance of the cabin. The Cabin Host provides within the cabine everything you need to enjoy your vacation. We just had to bring our food and clothing and the rest is there. I love that we can walk to town and the lake from the Elderberry Retreat location. This was our second stay in this cute cabin and we'll be back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We stayed for a long weekend with 2 families with small kids. Great loft for kids to sleep in with 2 rooms for the adults. Short drive to China Peak. Appreciated all the cooking extras in the kitchen like small appliances, spices, and condiments. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Location - Fun Place
A clean, bright cabin-home, filled with fun games including bocce ball, foosball ball, all the necessary things (laundry, kitchen, good beds), plus a bottle of wine.
A very relaxing spot and lovely neighborhood. The games were a big plus. We laughed so hard we cried! Highly recommend.

Super Stay in Shaver
Jamie went out of her way to help us book a last minute getaway for New Year's. Shaver was beautiful with the recent snowfall and the Elderberry Retreat was perfect. In a great location with a 5-10 minute walk to restaurants and the pub. There were families sledding all around the neighborhood. Enjoyed the fireplace with hot chocolate every night. Jamie-The Cabin Host manages a number of cabins and I would definitely look at renting one of the others if this one is unavailable for the time you want. Thanks again Jamie!

Updated and well stocked cabin
My family had a wonderful stay at this updated cabin. It is very close to the lake and the main area of town. The cabin is stocked with many items (large pots/pans, spices, wii, movies, foosball, bocce ball) and has an open floor plan for all to gather. I have stayed at many Shaver lake cabins over the years, but this cabin has been the best by far. I hope to rent again next year.

Comfy cabin
The cabin was so comfortable and had a perfect floor plan! The kids loved the upstairs loft with the games! A little disappointed in the WiFi/cable (not sure) connection to the TV....we were unable to watch a movie all the way through because it kept buffering all the time. But overall the stay was great 👍

Cozy and clean right next to Shaver Lake
This listing was the perfect place for our getaway! Very close proximity to Shaver Lake and the shops in town. We could walk to both. Quiet and warm with the old school fireplace. Can cook s’mores inside the living room. Jamie and her husband were the best hosts who could be reached on my first call. They both checked in to see how things were. Thank you both!

Gem in the middle of everything
Beautiful cozy cabin that was great for a family getaway. Everything we needed was provided. Stove in fireplace provided warmth for the whole cabin and was supplied with ample wood we appreciated. Centered in the middle of shaver village, we walked around frequently enjoying the neighborhood and town. We look forward to returning, thank you.

Great place.
We had a great time in the snow for a last minute trip while our cabin was having some work done. The cabin was as described except for some confusion about a 3rd bedroom which is actually an open loft. If we ever needed to stay again we would. Thank you, Jamie.

Amazing Place!
This place was great. Jaime was such a great host. Allowed us for an early check in, which really helped out. Place was very clean and cozy, and stocked with just about anything you need. Plenty of linens and places to sleep, and soap and shampoo in both showers. Location was amazing, although roads were pitch black at night. Make sure you bring a small flashlight or phone LED if you will be walking down to the bars or restaurant. (Maybe a 7 minute walk....?) Super close. Everyone was great in Shaver, great place to take a mini-vaca. Will def be back, and hope to rent this same place next year. Thanks again Jaime!!!

Great house for our Thanksgiving break
Had an amazing time in this nice cabin near Shaver Lake over Thanksgiving. We were two families with 4 kids, it was perfect for the eight of us. Nestled between tall trees the place is quite and peaceful. Very close to Camp Edison on Shaver Lake which is a great place to spend the day. Thank you Jamie for making our stay comfortable.
