Has potential

The cabin itself is relatively clean, beds are comfy, sheets and blankets are abundant, towels are plentiful, water pressures are good, appliances work. Upon first impression, it was amazing… But then… slight nuances started to present themselves and shift that initial impression. The top drawer in the kitchen, which holds knives, is broken, no rail guide, no stopper, the drawer pulls all the way out and will fall, which is extremely dangerous. The propane grill on the deck will hold a flame but is not working properly, the flame in the front of the grill is taller than the rest of the grill which makes for uneven cooking. Beneath the grill is an overfilled bowl of grease/oil from the grill, which looks like it has started to flow onto the beautiful deck. On the deck is a nonfunctional folding chair, sunburnt and ripped down the center. The listing stated no ac and no WiFi. I knew that and was more than content not having those amenities. Ample amounts of fans were provided throughout the house. HOWEVER, it was warm and even hot at various times throughout the day. The weather was in the 80s during the day, I cannot imagine being inside if the weather was hotter. The tv in the living room is extremely small, 19 inches, maybe smaller.

Place Was Filthy

The location was great and the cobin itself was not bad at all, however, the cabin was filthy. The property management company does not clean at all and there was still lipstick on cups, trash on the floors, food on the nightstand, and fresh makeup on the sheets. There were also insect bait traps everywhere so it wasnt initially safe for young kids. They also filled the soap dispensers with water which is crazy and cheap. Check-in isnt until 4pm with a 10am check-out time so you'd think the place would be clean given all of that time. Vacasa the management company is a mess.

Good for families and theres sledding near by

The property itself was great! Cozy and plenty warm for the winter. The beds were comfortable. We are a family of 4, our kids fought for the loft beds. Good thing its two kids for two beds. My complaints are: The rugs were laying in the hallway, instead of placed back in the bathrooms. The dishwasher was completely full from the previous guests, although they were clean. I just thought there were not many silverware in the cabin. There was also a bag of trash in the cleaning closet from previous guests. Other than those annoying discrepancies, we had a blast.

Deck

Just a heads up on the deck. There are raised nail heads that could be a trip hazard. Also feels weak in one area, like it needs to be reinforced. Otherwise, this was awesome and we will be back.

Great time at Shaver Lake

We had a great time. The cabin was cozy, in good location and clean. It sure could use some updating, but overall we enjoyed our stay. I’d take my own pillows for more comfort. For the fireplace you need to take your own supplies to start a fire, but the store nearby has wood and everything else. The bedroom upstairs was cozy and pleasant. The big windows of the house allow you to enjoy the beautiful view of the nature. We love Shaver Lake.

Great, convenient cabin

Very easy check in. Directions were slightly off. Information said turn right onto the road and the cabin is on the left. However the cabin is actually on the right. Accurate pictures and clear posted address helped . Very comfortable cabin with great location.. perfect for me n kids to use as a home base for hiking and fishing.

Would stay there again!

The property was in a great area. It had parking for a few cars and the beds were pretty comfortable. The only downside was that there were ants. They were scattered all over the kitchen counters and even some on the kitchen table. We would definitely stay again but ask they treat for ants or leave out those bait traps first.

House was beautiful and in a prime location

The sliding screen door kept falling off the rails so we could not keep it open to cool off the house at night. The GFI's in the bath rooms were not working. (fixed later) The TV needs instructions on how to use it. The barbecue only had three of the five burners working. The house needed a good cleaning. Dust and spider webs everywhere. The carpet smelled like dust.
