Blue Sky Cottage
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Once featured on the hit HGTV show House Hunters (season 131, episode 4), this recently remodeled family cabin is beautifully tucked at the foot of towering evergreens in Shaver Lake. Here in the East Village - one of the town's most spacious, desirable, and private neighborhoods - you can spend your days out on the water and come home to play bocce and cornhole on the private 40-foot court. Light the gas grill and prepare dinner in the fresh mountain air, and spend your evenings gazing at the pristine night sky from the comfort of the front deck.
What's nearby:
This darling, 1,050-square-foot cabin is located on Aspen Road in the East Village of Shaver Lake, a five-minute stroll from the main village restaurants, bars, a market, cafes, and shops. The lakeshore and the Dorabelle Trailhead are within a 10-minute walk, allowing you to swim, fish, hike, and kayak with ease. If you do decide to use your car at all, you'll be a scenic 19-mile drive from the ski slopes of China Peak Mountain Resort. The natural wonders of Mono Hot Springs are 39 miles northeast, and the southern boundary of Yosemite National Park is 59 miles north.
Things to know:
Free WiFi
Full kitchen (without a dishwasher)
A 4x4 is not required in winter, but it is highly recommended (cars must have chains or snow tires at the very least)
Cell service can be quite poor in areas around Shaver Lake

We found it easy to relax when we were not out and about during our weeklong stay. Kitchen was adequately supplied with dishes for cooking and eating, but larger containers for microwave warming were lacking. Bring everything you need for cooking including salt and pepper, as well as coffee additives, as nothing is supplied.

Dirty used feminine hygiene products all over the front deck, trash all over, trash-can was not emptied before arrival, no propane in bbq, bbq filthy, dirty linen's, used towel inside bed under blanket and filthy coffee maker. Hot water only worked in one bathroom.
4.5
Here we go. The bathroom with the tub had a dirty floor, toilet, and when taking a shower the tub would leak. The other bathroom shower only go semi warm water max. The dishwasher had a load in it, whether that was clean or dirty, who knows. The Router and Modem was under the master bed on my side. Sweet, never saw that before! Really, under the bed. Hope the radiation and waves didn’t harm us too much. Speaking of bed. When I moved the comforter, crumbs and hairs. Moved the sheet down and more hair in the sheets. I slept in sweats, a hoodie, and snow socks, on top of the sheets, so the only skin touching were my hands. Ridiculous! Sent pictures to Vacasa, who manages, starting Thursday and still haven’t heard anything from the local team, and it’s Monday. So ridiculous and unacceptable.

Cabin was cute and clean and perfect for my needs. I would definitely stay here again and recommend this anyone looking for a place to stay in Shaver Lake.

This place was a great place beds were comfortable. The amenities were great. The house was cool when it was on the decks were nice to sit in the shade. This will definitely be my cabin for future when I visit Shaver Lake.

We really love the location of this cabin. A short hike to the lake or 10 min walk to town but we did not hear any commotion from the main road. The layout is the perfect size for 4-6 adults. Cornhole and fire pit area are a nice addition to keep kids occupied. The small heater worked well but it was not too cold outside. Stove, microwave, everything you need. I just had to go get matches because the lighter was out of liquid. A potato peeler or pairing knife would would have been a plus but obviously that is being picky. Really they have so many cooking utensils, dinnerware, extra blankets, tons of towels, and even a toddler chair for eating. We had the best time. Thank you!

Beds were what you would expect from a rental but not the most comfortable
-kitchen supplies such as paper towels and trash bags are very thin
-website says gas fireplace but is actually an electric fireplace that does not work
When vacasa contacted took many hours to get a response (thank god there was another heating source) received a canned response for how to light pilot light. Company does not take time to actually know about the properties they are representing and respond appropriately
External:
- roof over entry way is visibly cracking and separating under weight of snow. Seems like a hazard
- 2 weeks prior to our stay we realized how much snow the recent storms left behind and contacted vacasa regarding safety concerns. We were told under no circumstances could we cancel and that as long as roads were open would be safe. So our assumption was that they would not allow guests if it wasn’t safe conditions. Upon arrival we were hopeful because roads were plowed and most driveways were plowed. Unfortunately ours was not. It appeared that there may have been a half hearted attempt to clear a smallish space in driveway however, it was just ice and sludge making it very slippery. There is an incline to get up to what is supposed to be stairs to enter the home. There was no effort whatsoever to plow the entry way. How they expect people to get safely from their vehicle to the front door is beyond me. We had to haul our luggage and belongings up hill in the snow. This was a Huge safety hazard as we had a very pregnant person with us and a toddler. 3 of our five guest fell and another sunk waist deep in the snow and took great difficulty to get him out when trying to get to front door and lock box.
- None of the listed amenities were available such as corn hole, bbq, firepit etc.
- I truly believe vacasa does not have the safety of their guests as a priority and would not recommend renting from them or this property in any sort of inclement weather. It’s too bad because the home itself is beautiful and with a little care from vacasa could be an amazing vacation spot.

This cabin was just right for us and we had all the amenities we could have asked for, including internet, bocce ball, and a fire pit. The cabin was very clean and the furniture was comfortable. Our only complaint was the coffee maker water reservoir needed a good cleaning and the larger bathroom would have been more comfortable if it had a vent fan.
Other than that, our stay was wonderful and we were easy walking distance to the town of Shaver Lake. The heater worked great for the chilly nights in fall. Thank you!

Loved all the simplicity of the home and location. Did enjoy the whole area. Would recommend to anyone. House did need some light dusting few spider webs but not a big thing.

The house was cute. There is no A/C which is fine, we just had the windows open at night. The surrounding area was quiet and very close to town.

We were impressed with how cute the cabin was, it looked just like the pictures. The cabin was clean and tidy. Great location and walking distance to town! The neighborhood it’s in, the East Village, is a nice neighborhood and quiet. They have a lot of plug-in fans available as there is no AC unit in the house. Beds were comfortable. There are several chairs on the patio, and around their outdoor fire pit area. The bbq they have is very old and has seen better days, but it still works! They do have a small area on the north side of the house where you can play corn hole, however the corn hole boards they have are falling apart and not playable…so we had friends being there’s up! In the kitchen they had a few normal essentials, but bring you own foil, baking sheets/pans to cook with. The pans in the cabinets were nasty and left unwashed, and the baking sheet we covered with our own parchment paper. OVERALL this is a good cabin to stay at, and we plan on staying there in the future.

One of the best locations we have stayed in at Shaver Lake. Cabin was spacious enough for our family of 4 and we still had a spare bedroom. Our kids loved it! Close to town and shops and just a short drive to the lake and China Peak. We had the best time.

Very nice space and comfortable. beds were comfortable. everything was clean without any smell of residual chemicals.
Kitchen was fine and updated as described. Couple of areas that needed attention was the window in one bedroom that would not open and then when I finally got it open would not lock again....so we had to hide some of our stuff. The stairs walking up to the cabin need to be addressed as someone is going to fall through them. But all in all nice cabin and would return as long as the window is fixed. I like to sleep with the window open and have access to air, that is a priority.

Beautiful setting, cute town, super close to a couple beach locations to play with kids, cozy house. Only feedback that needs some attention is the BBQ outside didn’t work, we couldn’t find the cornhole bean bags to play, and wishing there was cooking sheet to bake food. But no problem, we were able to improvise. Kids loved the bunk beds!
