Savor the gorgeous wooded landscapes of Shaver Lake at this home, an inviting mountain view retreat with an expansive back deck, shuffleboard, and a wonderful location for skiing, boating, hiking, and more!

This alpine home sits amongst the evergreens in a quiet neighborhood one mile south of the village of Shaver Lake. Take out your kayaks and canoes on Shaver Lake two miles north, spend sunny summer days hiking around Huntington Lake 17 miles north, and pass the sparkling winter months on the bowls and trails of China Peak Mountain Resort 20 miles northeast.

Musick Falls is located just below the cabin and is within walking distance. Guests can enjoy the sounds of Musick Falls while sitting on the deck. During winter months, there's a great sledding area that starts in front of the cabin and ends up behind the cabin.

Whether you're a family of skiers or a group of good friends seeking summer adventure, you'll love coming home to the warm, lofty living space. Grab a toasty pair of socks from the private washer/dryer, take a seat on one of the plush sofas, and choose something fun to watch on the smart TV.

Read the sports section at the breakfast bar each morning, and fire up the stainless steel gas range to prepare meals as a family. Linger around the dining room table with your loved ones, log onto the free WiFi to make plans for the day ahead, and hop in the car to spend the morning out on Shaver Lake. Back at the house, you can soak in the sunshine on the large back deck, sip cocktails as the sun illuminates the hills, and head inside for a tournament on the private shuffleboard table.

Amazing cabin that is spacious and comfortable. WiFi is reliable to watch movies and shows for multiple people. Great view and location of a mountainside. A creek is nearby and peaceful to hear the water flow. Great for big families or multiple people.

The house was great. A little outdated from the photos on the website. Overall the amenities were good and the creek in the backyard was awesome.

The layout, location, rooms and open living space were just what we were looking for but needs some TLC. Not as clean and kept up as photos make it appear and deck was not usable due to exposed nails and broken table. We still made the most of it and had a great trip and enjoyed walking around the beautiful quiet neighborhood and the short drive to the lake!

This house is rundown and we had a lot of issues. First, it had snowed a few feet the week before we arrived. The front path to get inside was NOT shoveled and it took us climbing through snow banks to reach the front door. Second, the kitchen was full of not quite clean dishes (we had to re wash everything) and there was NO trash can in the kitchen. Finally, the sheets on the master bedroom didn’t fit the bed — they had used a flat sheet instead of fitted, so it came off the mattress during the night. There were thin blankets on the beds and my daughter said she was quite cold overnight. We will not be back.

Are family had a really nice time in this home. Very spacious. Loved the shuffleboard in the game room and had a big selection of other games as well. We also really loved that there was an area on the side of the house to play in the snow. A couple of cons would be that we couldn’t get the wood stove to light so it got pretty cold in the living room but good thing we brought a couple of throw blankets and the dryer wasn’t working.

10/10

We booked this place with some friends. We had an awesome time! There was plenty of room for the kids to play inside and outside! Outside was beautiful we got to explore with the kids ages 3-6. They had tons of board games for both kids and adults. Again there was so much room! We had a 1 year old and we should have brought baby gates cause he was just going up and down the stairs. But overall a great stay we plan to go again when the snow hits.

Well stocked and great location! We had a lot of fun playing in the snow. Excellent slopes for sledding. My only concern was the floors/carpets were not vacuumed. There were a lot of pet hair on the furniture, floors, and carpets. The hair transferred to our clothes and even our food! The house didn’t have a vacuum so we couldn’t vacuum them ourselves.

We arrived to the home and everything was easy in regards to checking. You receive a code and enter the code to get inside. They even allowed us to do an early check in without us having to ask. However, the owner of the home hired a management company named Vacasa to manage this Vrbo and they were BY FAR the worst of vacation home hosts I have ever dealt with when it came to communication. Before arriving, it took almost three full days to receive a simple response and once we were at the home, they message you periodically to make you think they are there but won’t respond until WAY later in the day when you no longer even need an answer. The home was somewhat clean but you can definitely tell that they did not do a deep clean. There was webs around the home, a lot of dust, used q tips, stains on the bed, used socks, clogged bathtubs, etc. The patio outside is nice but do not believe the pictures you see. The table they have in the pictures is broken and was unusable. The chairs/grass area were kept in the garage and they had a new table that they said we could not use stored in the garage. Highlights of the place: the kitchen is nice but some of the appliances are outdated but not really a huge issue, the living room is really nice and one of the only updated areas of the home. The backyard area is by far the best part of the home and somewhat made up for a lot of the negatives in the home. They have a water fall (Musick falls) in the backyard thats very close (1 minute)

Nice place but just a bit tired. Great location just south of town near a creek and waterfall...The accommodations fit our family well but the place could really use some refreshing. Although the kitchen was decently stocked, most of the utensils, especially the knives, were fairly worn out and old. (Great coffee mugs though!) All the beds were good but there weren't extra blankets around, or at least any we could find. Worked out okay because the house stays warm. The small prep sink's disposal doesn't work, and the lights in the master bedroom that are on the ceiling are bad. (so is the one at the front door) The TV in the living room had some problems too. It froze up from time to time then either restarted on its own, or we'd shut it down and restart it. We loved the sofas and the big dining room table! All-in-all a convenient, nice place that just needs some TLC and those extra touches...the powdered soap and other bathroom items provided were not a hit...no one liked them...but that jetted tub in the master...that's a keeper. Great after a day on skis!

Lovely vacation home, clean and well stocked kitchen. Shuffle board, board games, books etc were enjoyed by all. 5 minutes drive to grocery stores, restaurants

We had to do a last minute change from Three Rivers to Shaver Lake and it was an amazing trip. The house has a beautiful view and even with smoke and drought the Musick Falls still had some water to listen too. Great cabin and well furnished for our stay.

We loved it there! The rooms are spread out enough to ensure quiet and privacy but close enough to still hear your children arguing 😉 so roomy and had all the essentials one would need. It was clean, cozy, and had magnificent views. Will definitely be back to this gem.

My family and I stayed at this cabin this past weekend. The first level was great spacious and clean although the living room furniture seemed a little dated. We did have some trouble trying to just get the cable going. Upstairs rooms also seemed a little dated and dusty, downstairs pool table was not sturdy but I did see prior reviews about that. Overall it was a nice house with a great view, maybe it just needs to be updated a tiny bit more as far as linens and sofa beds.

8/10

The location of this property is exactly what we were looking for. Quiet, unbelievable view of the valley, very close to the lake and town. Because of these things, any issues we had were not really a big deal. The house has an open layout. Lots of beds to sleep in and lots of places to hangout. Very large kitchen with plenty (actually too much) of cooking utensils and pots and pans. The view is amazing and has wonderful sunsets. It’s right on the burn scar, which I personally like, but you will get ash on your shoes if you decide to explore at all. If you don’t mind that and the smoke smell (again, I really like it), than it’s not a problem. Here are the issues: -a little bit dirty inside -some clutter in the kitchen cabinets - pool table needs some work (cues broken, table is old) -broken furniture Ultimately, it’s a big, beautiful house in the mountains. It’s fine if it’s a bit dirty. Not really noticeably either. Just in the details. But it’s well worth the price. We will look for this house again when we come back to Shaver.

Pros: Lovely neighborhood, easy hike/walk to Musick Falls behind property, spacious home, great floor plan for families or couples, sleds for use in the garage, fun sled run beside the house, linens and towels provided, board games, legos, Lincoln logs for the kiddos, kitchen well stocked with dishes, pots, pans, coffee pot, wine glasses, etc... Cons: House is in need of TLC, gutter or roof piece hanging from roof in two places, floors were not swept well, area rugs were dirty, large black ants in kitchen, one upstairs bedroom and master bathroom, several spiders throughout the house, thick dust behind headboards in all bedrooms, pool table, but NO pool balls or pool cues, management said they'd bring some, but never did. This home has so much potential, but unfortunately it's been neglected. The entire group was disappointed.
