We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the New England cottage / cabin @ Shaver Lake. The home was clean & spacious & very comfortable! We really loved the big picture windows in the main living area, as well as the pool table upstairs & the wonderful rock fireplace! It was a quiet & peaceful & restful getaway, exactly what we needed! Thank you!!
Great place to stay. Very comfortable good location. However the floors could use a good cleaning.

Peaceful Forest View
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!

Shaver cabin
Loved the cabin it was in a perfect location just 5 mins from the town. The cabin is huge with a bathroom in every bedroom which is very nice. The dryer does not work and the propane was out but they did bring us some propane right away but it will be perfect if the dryer worked. It also needs a can opener I didn’t bring one thinking it would have all of that but over all loved the place. Also the fireplace was nice and the views were amazing I will definitely be back.
Great Home - Majestic Views - Been Here Before and will Be Back Again
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.

Enjoyed
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.

Excessive Deferred Maintenance Needed
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.

Disappointing
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.

Nice home with beautiful large windows
This home had three full bathrooms providing plenty of space and comfort. The kids enjoyed the loft and pool table. The family room has large windows to enjoy the beautiful trees surrounding the property.
This place was great. The location was beautiful. Very comfortable home with a well stocked kitchen. Will be returning.

Great location
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.
Great place for families or groups of friends. Pros:
* The three bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms
* Big kitchen table
* Nice layout where everyone can be together downstairs or go upstairs for some separation.
Cons:
* Couch was a bit old and not super comfortable, but not bad overall.
* Internet was kind of slow and sometimes seemed stop altogether. Was a little bit of an issue when trying to do some video calls.
We had a fabulous time in Shaver Lake. The marina is minutes away and the house has large rooms with a bonus room for the kids upstairs. My young adult kids really enjoyed the pool table. The 3 master suites were perfect! The kitchen was well stocked and everything was meticulously maintained and decorated to create a warm welcoming feeling. We were excited to see the spa- but unfortunately, were told it wasn't included- would have been awesome to be able to soak this bod after a long day of water skiing! LOL Overall, just a lovely welcoming home.
Absolutely Perfect Getaway – Can’t Wait to Return!
We recently stayed 6 nights and 7 days at the Cozy Mountain Home in Shaver and truly didn’t want to leave. This home was absolutely beautiful—spotless, spacious, and full of charm. The stunning mountain views alone are worth the trip!The layout was perfect for our family, with every bedroom having its own private bathroom—a huge plus! The kitchen was a great size for cooking and gathering, and the propane BBQ made for fun outdoor meals. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, allowing us to fully relax and recharge. We also loved that the garage was available to us; it was perfect for storing our bikes safely.We spent our days playing games, exploring, relaxing, and most importantly—bonding as a family. It was a much-needed escape, and we made memories we’ll never forget. Being just minutes from the lake was the cherry on top.One small tip: if you're staying more than a couple of days, it’s helpful to bring a few extra kitchen trash bags and dishwashing soap, as only a couple of each were provided. Not a big deal at all, just good to know in advance.Overall, we cannot say enough good things about this rental. It felt like home the moment we walked in, and no one wanted to leave. We will definitely be back!
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.

Perfect Mountain Getaway That Brought Us Together
We had an incredible stay at this cozy mountain home just minutes from Shaver Lake Village. Every bedroom had its own private bathroom, plus an extra one downstairs — which made things so convenient for our group. The large dining table was a highlight: perfect for shared meals, card games, and late-night conversations. It brought us together in a way that made this trip truly special, and we created some of the most amazing family memories here.
The home was clean, inviting, and well-stocked for a comfortable stay. The game room was a hit, offering plenty of entertainment for both kids and adults. The spacious deck was ideal for relaxing in the fresh mountain air, enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning or stargazing at night.
The location couldn’t have been better — tucked away in a quiet wooded area but still just a short drive to town and Shaver Lake. It’s a perfect base for hiking, boating, or simply unwinding in nature.
While the washer and dryer weren’t available for use (which we knew beforehand), it wasn’t an issue for our short stay. If you're staying longer than two nights, just plan ahead and bring a few extras like dishwashing pods, soap, and trash bags. We made a quick store run for a couple of items, but honestly, it didn’t take away from the experience at all.
This home exceeded our expectations, and we’ve already decided it will be our go-to rental for future visits. We absolutely loved our time here and can’t wait to come back!
