About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Natal Granite Multi-family retreat, fast WiFi, AC, Shaver Lake forested area

This beautifully maintained home is very roomy. With 2 Calif King beds, 5 Queen beds, 3 full beds (plus 3 full upper bunks) and 7 twin beds (as well as 6 twin and one queen air beds) you can easily fit your family. There are so many options for sleeping arrangements that you can arrange your group easily. Air conditioned--one of the few homes in Shaver Lake with AC.

Worry-free Booking: we provide $1500 accidental damage protection at no extra charge in case something gets damaged!

Instant Booking is available for your convenience; please note that we reserve the right to cancel your booking if we find out your group does not meet our requirements. You will be required to provide a photo ID prior to check in and the address on the ID must match the address on your payment method used for booking. We require a signed contract for renting--you will be emailed the link to the contract. You will be asked for the full names of all members of your group, and the ages by count. No visitors, other than those listed, are permitted at the house at any time.

Just a reminder: CFAR insurance is HIGHLY recommended if you would be upset to lose part, or all, of your prepaid rent for this stay, based on the cancelation policy. Be forewarned: Covid closures of events, travel restrictions and fear of Covid exposure are all invalid reasons for cancelation under our policy. For those not wishing to purchase insurance, other options include (a) renting properties which allow last minute cancelation, or (b) wait to book until right before your trip, after you know your group can make the trip.

What makes our cabin different than others in Shaver Lake? We have air conditioning (rare in our community.) We are in a very quiet area, so you are not right on top of other groups. We are handicap accessible on the ground floor, including a wheelchair ramp and roll-in shower. We have a spacious house that was designed for larger groups so you have plenty of seating for hanging out, we are kid and pet friendly, we have a walking trail across the bottom of our acre plus yard, plenty of parking space, really nice kitchen utensils and place settings, we make up the beds for you before you come, we have a gas BBQ, and--well, so many other nice features!

Nestled deep in the majestic western Sierras (but easily accessible by road) our 4,000+ square foot retreat with its spacious kitchen, 4.5 baths, 8-12 person bunkroom (3 full over full and 1 twin over twin), 3 big master bedrooms (one with an in-room two person Jacuzzi jetted tub), living room, den, man-cave with surround sound hi-res TV, this retreat has an atmosphere of quiet and comfort.

Fall, spring and summer guests enjoy spring skiing, hundreds of miles of hiking and bike trails (one even passes through our backyard), popular 4 wheel drive roads, rock climbing, world class freshwater fishing (lake and stream, stocked and native), swimming and nature viewing.

Winter Guests enjoy spectacular downhill and cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, snowboarding and sledding.

Upstairs and garage are wheelchair accessible, with a bathroom & shower for wheelchair access. The Man Cave offers a place to just hang out and make noise without bothering anyone else.

The constant on-demand water heater never runs out of hot water so you have plenty! Fully equipped kitchen with granite countertops, all cooking gear, and a table seating 12 at a time.

Electric power can be turned off here (and in any other areas in California considered "high risk for fire") by the electric company, without warning. Storms can also turn off electric. This means wi-fi, air conditioning, possibly cell phone connection, lights, TV will all be off. We do NOT offer refunds for lack of electric service. There is emergency lighting and heat and cooking by wood stove available.

There is a hiking trail off the back of the property, so you can hike most seasons (or snow shoe during the winter months) without driving anywhere. This is a very quiet neighborhood so you can really enjoy nature without seeing a lot of people; deer, coyote, raccoons and other creatures amble across the property all day and night. The roads and the driveway are cleared by a snow plow, so you won't be stuck in a large storm. There is a large deck to hang out on and enjoy the woods. A gas BBQ is available for outdoor grilling. Lots of extra chairs and tables available for large events. Dishes and tableware are of high quality.

Please review our refund policy before booking and purchase the appropriate travel insurance, as needed. If you are worried about losing money due to cancelling the reservation, consider Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) insurance.

Beautiful and spacious
We had 4 families come together to stay at this property. Ages ranged from 8-78. The setup was perfect for us. The kids all got to sleep in the Fox Den and then play pool when they woke up before the adults. The whole area was very peaceful. The dining room table made it possible for all of us to eat together. Amazing place!

Wonderful Multi-Family Retreat
We do an annual trip with a group of families to visit the snow. We loved the Natal house. The pictures do not do it justice. We had 8 adults and 7 children. There was plenty of space for everyone. The large kitchen and dining table meant we could do food prep and eating as a group. The backyard had a little hill the kids loved sledding off of. 20 minutes away we were able to get up a little higher in elevation and have fresh snow for sledding. We had such a great time we are returning next year :)

We had a great time at Shaver Lake! We have a group of 15 people and this house fit us perfectly 😊. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, lots of space. Kitchen is stocked with every type of cookware!

Comfortable Spacious and Charming
This place was perfect for our family!!! The place was spacious, lots of bed, lots of rooms. The man cave was the favorite for the kids. Such a comfortable place. ***Dottie was amazing, there was supposed to be a snow storm and she made our safety a priority. We had to leave a day earlier and made sure we had the day allotted for. She made sure we had all the information we needed for our family trip so that there were no hiccups along the way. By far one of the nicest places I have rented out

Fantastic Place
We actually rented three properties in shaver lake this summer and our favorite by far is this one. Dottie does a great job having a clean ready to go great for large grieves with three crockpots tons of utensils and plates lots of beds to sleep in and the most important thing air-conditioning! All for less than the other comparable house cost. This is our second year staying here and we will certainly be back.

Our family had a blast! We loved this property!
This was our first family cabin trip ever. We had a group size of 20 which was made up of 5 families. Our search to accommodate our group size, along with a reasonable rate and available dates left us with little options. We came across this property and all agreed this was the best option. I cannot tell you how happy we were to have landed this gem! The pictures do not do this place justice. The house was very spacious and had everything you could possible need for day to day living. We brought extra cooking items, toiletries and other essentials but we could have save some space had we known the extent of what the property was equipped with. I could go on and on about how much we loved this place. It will def be part of our annual cabin trips. HIGHLY RECCOMEND!!

Spacious place, better than expectations
Photos do no justice for how the place really looks. Upon arrival check-in was easy. House we clean and had a fresh scent as noted by my sister who joined us. Plenty of room for our group of 20. Was pleasantly surprised at how stocked the house was. Have been to several other rental homes and this one far surpassed my expectations. House was much larger than I had expected and internet speed was great considering how many people were on at the same time. Thoroughly enjoyed our short time there. Will definitely recommend and will consider booking again sometime in the future. Kids loved it.

This house just keeps getting better everytime we stay here. It is ideal for groups or large families like we had. Dottie is the absolute best owner and is always available for any questions or issues you might have during your stay. Love the new flooring this year and can't wait to see what she does next with the property. We will be back again next year.

Tons of space and attention to details
This is our family's 2nd time staying at this property. We went as a group of 13 this time, with one toddler, three teens, and nine adults. The kitchen is equipped with everything you could possibly need. We love this property for the fact that it is always well stocked with the essentials - toilet paper, paper towels, coffee filters, trash bags, shampoo, conditioner, soap, lotion, etc. There's plenty of room for sleeping lots of people - extra air mattresses, infant/toddler gear if needed, TV with streaming services in nearly every room... overall top notch stay! We recommend this house to other friends and family all the time and we will be back!

Beautiful Family Friendly Home!
This is a beautiful home that was able to accommodate all our family needs. We loved that baby supplies were available (ex: stroller, high chair, baby gates) as we had an infant and toddler with us. It is very spacious! The game room with the pool table was a hit with our family and the outdoor set up was great! The host is very nice and was able to accommodate our check in and check out requests. The whole family was very please and is already planning our next stay. Thank you :)
