Beautiful Property

We had a wonderful stay in this cabin. We have returned year after year in February and have always loved the snow-covered wooded views from the deck. The house is perfect for multiple families with five bedrooms and three full bathrooms. The heater works well and we have always been well supplied with fire wood for the wood stove. The kitchen is well stocked. The sofas and beds are very comfortable. The hosts were very communicative and helpful both before and during our stay.

Great times!

Let’s start by saying this place was such a great place for our family get together. There’s things for everyone to do, the space was big enough for all 13 of us. Our second night there it snowed on us and the kids were able to play right on the patio. Everything was great the only thing is the beds were just a little uncomfortable. Overall our family enjoyed it and we are planing on renting this same spot next time.

Gorgeous Mountain Home

Shari's house was exactly what we wanted for our New Year's stay. The cabin was huge and incredibly clean. The kitchen had literally everything we could need, and the neighborhood was quiet and beautiful! We really enjoyed our time here and would absolutely love to come back next year. Thanks Shari!

The House On The Rock

This home is big, beautiful and cozy! We come to Shaver yearly as a family trip with my four grown sons. They had so much fun with the pool table and the eating and sitting quarters are all large enough for a big group! Shari was so good at answering any questions or concerns!! The only downside is, there’s no central air so if it’s in the hotter summer months, it’s pretty warm. We came early this year, in June, so it was perfect! Bring a can opener, that was the only thing missing for us! I hope we can stay here again!!!

Cozy Mountain Home

We really enjoyed our stay at Shaver! We opted for the easy button the last few years and rented homes instead of taking our trailers up. We rented a couple houses very close to each other. Owners of this property are extremely responsive and kind if you have any questions or need any clarification. There was some confusion or info that needs updated on the rental site which I assume is a third party so just go with the messages/instructions from the owner. PS- If you have little ones (or bigs!) the neighbor has an ice cream truck and happily stops by for an after dinner treat!

Was okay

The place was spacious. But it was very dark in the house during the day time with the windows open and lights on. The beds and couches were very hard and uncomfortable. There was no wifi or cable. So the tvs were a bit useless, we didn’t find the dvds until way later. Over all the place was okay but I wouldn’t book there again.

Unfortunate issues

We had some issues but above all, our host tried very hard to resolve this issues and reimbursed us for nights we were unable to stay. This saved the rating but I could not give it higher than a 4 star. This is the first rental property that we ever stayed in that was not fully ready when we arrived. You had to turn on the water, turn up the water heater and turn up the thermostat which was set to 45 degrees. Unfortunately, the heater never turned on. Despite many attempts, the heat was not able to be repaired and we left early. The house was equipped with space heaters and a wood burning fireplace insert which helped. Additional items: The water in the kitchen sink never warmed up. The laundry room had water on the floor which the owner also cleaned up and attempted to fix but it continued to be wet. The pre-check in instructions noted the breakers may trip when using kitchen appliances. This is true. However, the breaker box is in the laundry room so we had to stand in water when flipping the breaker back on. Again, we had some unfortunate issues which affected our stay. The house otherwise is very spacious and has a well equipped kitchen. The driveway was cleared when it snowed and there was plenty of wood for the fire. If you stay here - reminders - you must bring you own towels and your log on to your streaming service if you want to watch TV,

Recent yearly stay

This will be our second year staying on the property and last year we mentioned the lack of cleanliness (spider webs and dust). So we returned thinking things may have improved, however things did not improve it was actually worse. Multiple beds look made but under blankets sheets are messy and have crumbs in bed. Plus spider webs and food wrappers under bed. The owner is kind and even let us in early, however the cleaning people need to be reevaluated since we pay a cleaning deposit. Unfortunately we will not be staying again. Plus the beds are getting really bad.

Great place for a group

We stayed here with our family of 8. Plenty of bedrooms with comfy beds for everyone and the living area had ample seating. Everyone really enjoyed the pool table and hanging out on the deck. We brought our dog with us and appreciated the fact that the deck was completely enclosed so we could let him outside without worry. The only small complaint would be the water pressure and temperature in the showers and the fact that we had to bring our own bath towels, shampoo, conditioner, and hair dryer. Overall, we had a great time and really enjoyed our stay!
