We have been going to Shaver Lake for the past 10yrs. we have yet to stay in the same cabin twice. When we left, we all agreed this will be the first cabin that we will be back to. Even though the kitchen floor was dirty, it can be over seen. the beautiful big windows and the fresh outdoor deck, playing pool in the evenings, relaxing, enjoyable and fun. We will be back to this one.

Hoping future guests will not experience all the issues with this property that we had. The list is too long to post here.
The property was great for our group and the location is excellent. We have been coming to Shaver lake since the late 70s.
The Vacasa staff only addressed one of the many many issues during our six days. I believe I had to call them at least six times. They stated they are just gearing up for the season and are hiring. Hoping any future guest will have better luck.

Couldn’t check in at 4. Next day had tree trimmers, people on the roof, guys yelling, weed wackers, and leaf blowers for 1 1/2-2 hours, and my husband wasn’t feeling well. Third day the owners showed up and said they didn’t know we were here. They did their “monthly review” of their home, checked filters, etc and left after an hour.
The home is very musty with old smelling due to old furniture and unclean carpet, jelly and syrup on the front of the kitchen counter fronts, microwave has food stuck on the glass wheel inside, where my paper towel stuck, there is a huge spider and web in the kitchen window corner where it would open the bottom pane. The house was NOT ready for visitors after the winter. Garage had leaves and debris inside, no furniture on the deck, however the owners took care of that one two items. The reviews and listing mentioned no air conditioning, so we brought our fan. The fans at the house have dust caked on, so you would get a dose of allergy dust if turned on. The home could be very nice, just no upkeep by the housekeeping or the owners. We will not rent again.

What was supposed to be a relaxing weekend to unwind and relax was stressful and uncomfortable. The house has a nice layout and the view out the back windows were wonderful. However, upon arrival it was discovered the kitchen was not clean and dirty dishes and silverware had been put away unwashed. Wet laundry was also found in the washing machine. The house was dusty in common areas that should have been wiped down.
We immediately contacted the property manager hoping the home could be cleaned as we still had 4 nights in the property. What ended up being a 4 hour stint to try and complain to the manager and VRBO only resulted in a complaint being filed by each; the only response we eventually received was an email the last night indicating a small credit was being given.
As there were not a lot of other options in the area we stayed, but had to run multiple loads of dishes in the dishwasher and do laundry to feel semi-comfortable with the cleanliness.
The furnishings are getting old and need replacing, and the beds are not very comfortable as stated in other reviews, but those were minor issues after the state of the kitchen. It was a very disappointing trip, after weeks of planning. The property could be lovely, but it does need a deep cleaning and the furnishings and beds need some updating.

Everything was more then we expected. It's was our first cabin rental and it was a great experience. Every room was very clean upon our arrival. We would definitely stay again. Thank you to the owner for an experience we'll remember forever!

The giant windows in the living room are dramatic and luxurious. Beds were comfortable. Carpets and living room furniture are starting to show their age but not bad. Kitchen is adequate but some of the pots and pans are also well used. Shower drains were just a little slow in two of the three. Overall a fantastic place.

The home was wonderful, comfortable and spacious. Each of the 3 bedrooms has it's own en-suite bathroom. We enjoyed the view looking into the forest and watching the stars at night on the deck. We walked Quail Ridge Trail nearby and took our Subaru up to Dinkey Lakes Trailhead and walked up to Mystery Lake. Beautiful!

Close to town and the lake, beds were all hard which was hard to get comfortable at night. Does not have AC causing the windows to sweat and making the house very warm. Other than that great trip and memories.

The cabin was beautiful, clean, and a great location. Unfortunately, we booked two nights and only stayed for one because of the beds and sleeping areas. The three full size beds are so uncomfortable we could not sleep. You can feel the springs in the beds. Please add mattress pads on top! The upstairs game room was fun until it was time to sleep there. No curtains and very bright from neighbors lights and moon shining in large windows. Please add window covers! The rest of the house was very nice, but sleeping wasn't good.

We absolutely loooooved this home. Super cute and comfortable. My only complain is that I would like yo have known in advance that the water system had high levels of asbestos. Also the top floor would benefit from having ceiling fans in the room and pool table room. Other than that it was a beautiful home.

Our stay was amazing! The outside needs to be attended too, weeds are a bit too over grown, trying to get to the front door was a lil hard for some of the family members. ALL ROOMS SHOULD HAVE FANS! TV in living room can be upgraded & all rooms could have TV’s with cable. Would be nice to be able to lock your bedroom door. Corner on the carpet, should be fixed or replaced. Kept lifting causing us to trip & almost fall. Just some suggestions, but overall this house is amazing, big, peaceful!!!! We will definitely be back!!!!

We loved everything about this home !! The deck was great to have morning coffee and evening cocktails. The view from the deck is beautiful and the path to the front door is so cute. The family had more than enough room, we will definitely book the home again.

Winter Weekend Stay
Loved that this place looked like you'd expect in the winter, snow all around and on the roof. Located about 5 mins out of "downtown" Shaver. Every bedroom had a full bath and a 1/2 bath just off the kitchen! PERFECT! Appreciated the detergent pods left so you could do a couple of loads, if needed. Wood fireplace was great! Heater worked well throughout house, except in 1/2 bath. If you leave the door open, heat will enter and you'll be fine. I would stay here again. Family really enjoyed this stay.

Very comfortable & spacious.
The open floor plan was great for our family to be together. The large windows brought the outside in and grandma was able to watch the kids play outside in the snow while keeping warm inside. The beds were comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet. Definitely would book again.

Quiet, great nature views, plenty of space
We stayed here for Thanksgiving. What a perfect place for a family getaway. There were 4 adults and 2 kids in our party. Loved that each bedroom has its own bathroom. The windows in the living room let in lots of light and truly make it feel like you’re away from it all. Even though it’s in a neighborhood. you can’t see any houses. Kitchen had everything we needed. Laundry room was a bonus, especially with kids. We sipped on late night whiskey on the deck and watched the stars above the silhouette of the tall pines. Magical.
I saw some people posting about the carpet in the dining room that they kept tripping on and didn’t think anything of it until it kept happening to us. They really need to take the time to replace that rug. My elderly parents were with us and I kept worrying they’d fall. It’s a major tripping hazard in a high traffic area. Even if not elderly, we kept tripping from
kitchen to table with food. Not great when carrying hot dishes. Would have been a 5 star otherwise.

Peace and Rest
The three pastors from our church stayed here for three nights to get away for a retreat. We had an excellent time. This home is peaceful and quite. The views out of the living room windows are amazing. You feel like you are outside. We even saw a bear cub roaming through the woods from the safety of the deck. The bed are comfortable and it’s awesome that each couple could have their own room with their own bathroom. The pool table was an unexpected bonus. The only negative is the corner of the rug in the dining area is curled up and we kept tripping over it constantly. It became rather comical after awhile. Other than that minor detail we loved it and will likely try to book it again!

Shaver Lake
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here at Shaver Lake. The cabin was very roomy and comfortable. The only one complaint is none of the sockets worked in the downstairs front room. If we were not moving out of California we would definitely stay here again

Great escape in the wilderness
The New England Cottage was fantastic. Very spacious, great view from the deck, and a very nice location. The deck was perfect for outdoor bbq and sitting in the wilderness. The one suggestion I have is to add a big enough table on the deck to seat multiple people.

Really enjoyed our time there. It was clean and cozy. Pool table a plus.
