Close to lake - Dog Friendly Cabin
This rustic dog friendly cabin is walking distance to the lake and has a nice floor plan. The kitchen is roomy and the attached laundry room has an extra counter for storing supplies. Great set up for preparing vacation meals and has a wonderful deck with two tables. The bedrooms are a nice size. Has worked well for our family of 8 (4 Adults, 4 kids).

Homey Stay at Casita Villareal
Very comfortable weekend for five adults and two dogs. We fixed two dinners and enjoyed playing games after watching MLB on tv while dogs could run inside and out safely. Breakfast was enjoyed under the pine trees out on the deck. We had an amazing hike to Dinky Lakes on Saturday and enjoyed walking at ShVer Lake Sunday.

Weekend Getaway
There was plenty of space for my 7 guests. With a relaxing view from the back porch. Stores and Shaver Pizza were an easy 5 minute walk from the place which was nice. Kitchen had lots of items for cooking and there was a wide selection of entertainment (board games, puzzles, books, & movies).

Spacious, clean, great location
My family and I stayed here for a ski weekend and would stay here again. The house was clean, spacious and in a great location right next to town. It was a cold weekend and we liked that the house was equipped with a fireplace, a wall heater and enough space heaters for each room plus some. Washer and dryer came in handy as well. WiFi was not the greatest, just slow.
Overall, the house was adequate. Location was close to town and walking distance to the lake. The deck was lovely for outdoor dining and hanging out. The kitchen was well equipped. The beds were quite uncomfortable and the cabin was pretty dingy and dirty. Definitely a rustic cabin. The carpets especially need to be replaced or at least thoroughly cleaned. But overall we had a great trip to shaver lake.
Awesome cabin, clean and ready for the guests ! Can’t wait to return! Close to town and also a few minute drive to the marina .

Great floor plan for family of 8
This rustic cabin has a great floor plan for family of 8. This dog friendly cabin is conveniently located close to the lake and down town. Lots of parking for 3 vehicles and a boat trailer.
Has a ton of games, fenced up backyard which was great for the doggies! The kitchen has all the pots, pans, plates, cups, etc. you need! We were able to cook warm meals, bake, and grill! Amazing place and amazing rooms!

The location was easy to find. The local stores are in walking distance. Very spacious home and clean. The only downfall was the sofa. Very uncomfortable.

Liked: Location, listing accuracy
Great location
The property met the description listed, the cabin is in a great location—close to stores and various spots for hanging out at the lake. We love the area the cabin is at and we have rented other homes in the neighborhood in the past.
