Great family home near ski lifts
Had a really good time - home is just right for our family of 6. Loved the ambiance of the fireplace with provided wood. Vinyl flooring great for our two dogs. Just a note - neither of the baths are ensuite. This has its ups and downsides.

The Sparrow’s Nest Getaway
This property is absolutely perfect for a family getaway in Shaver Lake! We thought the cabin was lovely. The 3 bedrooms are roomy! The beds are all comfortable with incredibly soft sheets. The cabin looks new and is decorated so nicely! The kitchen was great for family meals with everything you need and a nice big table. The location was great. We walked to town easily. We will be back!

Awesome experience in family friendly cabin
This cabin was great for 4 adults, 2 kids over holiday weekend. Jamie (host) was available and accommodating during our whole stay. They made sure we had everything we needed to cook thanksgiving dinner, including new pots and pans. Firewood was included so we could stay warm all weekend. Cabin was clean and fully stocked… no complaints! Highly recommend this spot for a memorable vacation!

Our confusion turned in to blessing
Well when we got to the cabin we find out that it’s haven’t been serviced after previous renters so I called the manager and let them know what is going on and she was very sorry about that and immediately start figuring things out. So in less then half hour we were placed in cabin across the street which was very nice and clean and cozy and beautiful!!! We had very good time celebrating my husband’s birthday with family.

Wonderful cabin!
This cabin was not only immaculately clean upon our arrival but it really does have everything you need from the kitchen to the linens. We relaxed in the comfy living room and enjoyed the deck, fire pit, and yard surrounded by the beautiful trees. The rooms are nice and big. Jamie is a fantastic host. Check in and out was easy and communication was timely and helpful. We would definitely stay at this cabin again and also would love to stay at the other cabins Jamie hosts. This was an amazing vacation rental experience!!

Great location. The cabin was clean and spacious inside. We enjoyed the outdoor fire pit while the kids played in the snow. The host, Jamie, was very kind and responsive.

Great time had by all.
Hoped for a great cabin experience with snow for the grandkids. Hopes were realized. No fancy resort, no long lines, no grumpy vacationers. The cabin was just right for our needs. We were broken-hearted by the fire damage down the hill from Shaver but thankful for the efforts of Cal Fire so that Shaver Lake was spared.
