This home was huge and a good size for our group of 14 (11 adults and 3 children). We specifically booked this house because of the A/C and the proximity to the lake. We loved the large kitchen, the fact that every room had a bathroom and the large windows/views from the home. The fire pit and outdoor eating area on the lower deck was a plus.A few things that could have been better....The owners asked that we take shoes off in the house, however when we walked around without shoes our feet/socks got so dirty from the floors that we all ended up wearing shoes in the house. Also, the A/C worked great in the bedrooms however the main living space/great room did not cool down. In addition, the A/C units were set to shut off each day at 10am and 10pm so when we left the house in the morning we came back to a very warm house. Also, if you went to bed before 10pm it shut off and the bedrooms got super hot. We did use the outdoor bbq and it was clear it hadn't been cleaned in a really long time. It was dangerous and could have started a grease fire if you weren't careful. Lastly, the trash cans were really full and the dishwasher was full of dishes from the previous guests. Overall we enjoyed our stay but for the price point of this home we were a little disappointed with the lack of cleanliness and maintenance of the home.
Overall, we were able to enjoy our time together as a family but we did not agree with the previous ratings/reviews. Upon arrival, we looked over the property and the railing on the porch/balcony is not safe. I would not allow our little children to go out on the porch without an adult as a safety precaution. We also were never able to find remotes to the tvs nor were the bedrooms very clean. The blankets and sheets were dirty. We could literally feel the dirt on them. There were not enough extra pillows and blankets, nor were there enough towels. While the home did accommodate our family in terms of space, it is in need of some maintenance and cleaning. Additionally, the thermostats were locked to 74 &73 degrees and we had elderly people, one of whom suffers from COPD, which gets worse when he gets hot. Also, the skillets and pans need to be replaced as the Teflon is falling apart. While we enjoyed our time in Shaver Lake, we would not recommend staying here.
Huge home with multiple family activities and just a short drive to the lake. Large kitchen whuch is ideal for meal prep. Outside bbq was lacking, but did nothing to quell family vacation.
We had such a great time at this house with our college friends. Itâs a beautiful wide open house with a huge kitchen and tons of space and things to do. The overall location was great and we went out and adventures each day with fun things to do all around the area. Would stay here again for sure!
Honestly l, this is probably the best cabin we have been to over the years we have done the annual winter retreat! Plenty of space, entertainment, and parking availability. Being able to use the garage was a HUGE plus as we could not only unload much closer, we could keep the cars safe and in close proximity. I have no negative comments, thank you SO much for letting us stay we hope to rent again next year!
The home has a kitchen to die for⊠We had a large group and we loved that there was a bathroom for all 5 bedrooms⊠We would love to stay there again!
The house was beautiful and spacious! The amenities in the kitchen werenât up to par. They stated it slept 17 but only had 9 forks and 6 spoons and 6 drinking glasses so we had to wash utensils every time we ate which was a bit of a hassle. Other small problems were the stopper in the bathroom sink didnât work, hairdryer didnât work and the bbq grill was dirty. Overall we had a wonderful time and I would recommend this cabin even with the inconveniences.
This property was absolutely amazing in every way. I was astonished at how nice it was when we walked through the door. It was nicer than it appeared even on VRBO. The kitchen was to die for. So many amenities, and beautiful windows to look out. The host was so easy to get ahold of and very friendly at all times. The only downfall here was out of anyone's control...the weather was treacherous that weekend and none of my friends were able to make it up, as they closed the road righter after myself and 3 kids made it up. I don't think that is the norm. That was a huge disappointment, but again, nobody's fault. We are determined to stay here again so that we can all enjoy this beautiful place together as planned!
We had a great weekend of outdoor adventures and XC skiing. The home was spacious and kitchen was very large. Sven was easy to reach with any questions we had and responded quickly. There are beds to sleep 14 people and 2 full out futon couches for the other 3 if you plan to have the full 17 people.
The host doesnât supply any common pantry supplies. Be sure to bring you own salt, foil, ziplock bags or other things you may need. There are some random spices and oils left from guests and we did leave a new salt shaker!
We loved staying here. Lots of things inside for everyone to do and great outdoor opportunity to go for walks or hang out on the patio etc. it was exactly what we were looking for.
We were so fortunate to have rented this property. It is located in a very beautiful area of Shaver Lake. The magnificent views from the kitchen window and dining areas are unforgettable. We were all comfortable because of how spacious it was. The kitchen was equipped with everything that one may need for a big group. There were available indoor games and game tables. Each of the five bedrooms have their own bathrooms. Everyone in our family had a wonderful time including our 5 year old granddaughter.
Sven, the owner, was very nice and accommodating. He replied to our communication promptly. He was also very appreciative of how we left the cabin as beautiful and as orderly as how we found it.
We are looking forward to our next stay!
We celebrated an early Christmas with 2 large families. The house was perfect for large families with plenty of beds and bathrooms. The Christmas tree was perfect to have too. Would definitely stay again!
Was a perfect place. Fit for all ages. Kids all enjoyed the gaming stuff. Even though a 3 story was not bad at all with going up and down the stairs. Close to town but couldn't tell.
The place was beautiful, there was still snow around the property during our visit so the kids got to play outside. It was a great place where we could enjoy some of the home games like the billiard table, foosball or shuffle board but even just pound around and enjoy our family time. The host was wonderful and communicated super well and quick. We definitely would stay here again.
We loved this property!!! The kitchen was a chefs dream, very uniquely decorated with copper accents, amazing amenities, air fryer, coffee maker options, lots of pots and pans, spices. Large bar with seating. Special family/dining room we exchanged gifts with a beautiful Christmas tree. We also played family games at this table, it was perfect! Every single bedroom had their own private bathroom. Lots of nooks with a shuffle board and fuse ball. Lots of seating throughout. Downstairs was the pool table and was able to shut out the noise of the balls if wanted to. Everyone enjoyed it! There was an awesome hill just adjacent to the garage that was perfect for sledding! And there was sooooo much snow to make this the perfect mountain getaway. Thanks so much for the great communication with the owner that was very much appreciated. My family and I could not say enough good things about this amazing property!
Place was clean and supplied with the essentials. Close to main highway so there was some traffic noise when outside on the deck. Overall we were happy staying there and booked another stay.
