Cozy Family Cabin with Great Outdoor Space in Ideal West Village Location
About this cabin rental
Situated in Shaver Lake, this attractive cabin for $279 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. Welcome to our family cabin, in the hills of Shaver Lake’s old West Village and the heart of the Sierra National Forest! Our cabin offers easy access to all the area has to offer. Restaurants and shops are just a five-minute walk into town. And beautiful Dorabella Cove on the lake - perfect for relaxing, fishing, swimming, or setting out on a local hike - can be reached in an easy 10-15 minutes by foot. Boat launches, water-sports rentals, and the local free museum are just a five-minute drive up the road. And China Peak is just 19 miles away, making the cabin a great home base for skiing, snowboarding, and back-country adventure. The cabin itself also ideally blends modern comfort and convenience with old-time authenticity and charm. We bought it fully renovated in 2019, and have enjoyed adding amenities since. But it was first built nearly 75 years prior and retains many original details. The cabin’s present-day amenities include: - A cozy back patio with a fire pit, an old stone grill, and Adirondack- and bench-style seating, perfect for roasting hot dogs and marshmallows or enjoying an evening around the fire. - A new (in fall 2023) six-person hot tub, set on a covered patio overlooking the fire pit. - A large front deck with a covered, bar-style eating area, two separate lounge-style seating areas, a comfy two-person hammock, and a full-sized gas grill connected directly to the cabin’s main propane line. - A well-equipped kitchen stocked with everything from dishes and utensils to cookware, a crock pot, a blender, baking sheets, and spices. - A large, thermostat-controlled gas fireplace capable of delivering both ambiance and heat (a lot of it, depending on the settings) at the touch of button. - A tankless hot-water heater capable of delivering unlimited hot water - and thus showers - on demand. - Reliable high-speed internet on a well-meshed Google-Home system capable of streaming video to at least a half dozen work, school, and/or entertainment devices at once (we all lived, worked, and went to remote school from there for months at a time during the pandemic). - A cozy loft workspace situated under a large roof-window balcony that overlooks the deck while delivering natural light, fresh air, and upstairs access to the outdoors. - A full office in a separate outbuilding on the property, featuring a large, live-edge pine desk, two leather office chairs, two high-definition monitors, a leather recliner, a TV, a portable A/C unit, and a thermostat-controlled gas stove for both ambiance and heat - perfect for remote work or schooling (or even just gaming or relaxing) and available by prior, separate arrangement (normally in connection with a longer stay or for a small additional fee). - A laundry room in the same outbuilding, featuring a full-sized washer and dryer and similarly available by prior, separate arrangement. - A Level 2 EV charger for easy overnight charging (currently set 20A for our PHEV, but wired at 70A and adjustable with just a bit of notice). - Security-camera coverage of both parking areas and the outbuilding area, including the adjacent hot tub (privacy matters; the cameras are just for security, and no living space or either the front deck or the back patio is covered). We also love pets! And our pets love the cabin. The place is set up for them, with retractable gates at the front and back stairs to the deck and food and water dishes available just inside the back door. We do require advance approval of any pets and generally charge a $25 fee per pet per night, to help defray additional cleaning and wear-and-tear costs. Please don’t hesitate to message us any time, with any questions at all. This truly is our family cabin, where we ourselves stay regularly for anywhere from days to weeks (and in one instance months) at a time as an escape from the city and a base for exploring the area. We love our cabin. But we’ll be candid about whether it seems like a good fit for you. And we’ll be happy regardless to share relevant insights we may have into what the area has to offer, from markets and restaurants to recreation and exploration. Cheers, Janneke and Reuben

Great location and very well cared for cabin. Has everything you might need or want. Level of cleanliness 10/10, not an easy feat given it's a cabin in the woods (zero dust, zero critters inside the property). I had one question during my stay, host answered immediately and was very helpful. Hope to stay here again.

We stayed in this wonderful cabin the first few days of spring break. It had snowed an inch or two the morning before we arrived. It was beautiful! We loved the ease of check-in. House was as stated on listing. Fireplace was amazing and kept the house cozy. My husband and I stayed downstairs, bedroom has a dble bed and not much room around bed. We handled it fine. Our two boys stayed upstairs. Since there are four beds upstairs they we’re excited not to have to sleep together. We cooked most of our meals at the house which was great. We did walk to dinner one night to a local restaurant. We loved that the house was close to town so we could walk! We loved our time here!

We could not have asked for a better cabin or a better travel experience to shaver. The cabin was so clean from top to bottom. We didn’t even see one bug or cobwebs which is huge for a cabin rental. Everything in it seemed to be upgraded and nicer quality than every rental we’ve ever stayed at. There were nice dishes, high quality cookware, appliances were newer and everything worked perfectly. The attention to detail was amazing and we had everything we needed for our stay. Reuben was very open to our communication and was so gracious with us. This was the first time that the entire family including our pups felt right at home. We finally found the cabin we want to return to in the future and are so grateful for the memories we created on this trip. Thank you for everything!

Four of us arrived for a girls weekend (even with an impending snow storm)… cabin was located in the village of shaver lake and very well situated.
What I loved most Is that the cabin was comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with all the necessities to cook nice meals!
The hosts did not miss one special touch!
Would definitely stay again, thank you Reuben for a great place to get away and enjoy the snow!!!

My family and I loved our stay at this cozy little cabin in west village. Great property with a great deck and backyard. Interior is the perfect size for a family or two to get cozy together and have a good time. The property had everything we needed plus more. All the local restaurants are within a 5-10 minute walking distance making it a fun and easy walk with the kids to get food. We will definitely be returning to make more memories!

This place was everything we had hoped it would be. It was well stocked with some things we forgot. Stores are really only 5 minutes away though. We took dreamy walks in the snow and it was just what our hearts needed during a busy Christmas season. The cabin is so cute and comfortable. We loved it.

The cabin is very well maintained and cared for. The owners take a lot of pride in their property and were very friendly and accommodating to our family. The cabin is well-equipped and had everything we needed for our stay. The kids had a lot of fun sledding and hanging out around the fire pit on the property. The location cannot be beaten and the Shaver community is very friendly. We will absolutely be staying in this property again in the future.

This cabin is what vrbo is all about. The accuracy of the description was amazing. Loved the cabin. However, what makes this cabin above all others is the host Rueben. Rueben is quick to answer all questions and is amazing!
Major kudos for allowing dogs and making it such a dog friendly rental. From pet gates to dog bowls already there, it is amazing. Thank you for opening your cabin to others. We had a great time!!!

Even though our trip started out rough for us, it was great to arrive at such a nice cabin! We enjoyed our family time and the cabin had everything to offer. Our kids LOVED the upstairs and thought it was just the coolest. We enjoyed card games on the deck and walks to town. Just enough boat parking for our boat as well! Thank you Reuben for the great communication (and help) and letting us enjoy your cabin!

My wife and I stayed here for five nights, joined by my stepson for two nights and our two dogs for the duration, during an unexpectedly cold spring break. Though we had hoped to spend more time outdoors, including on the large deck, we had a very nice stay keeping warm inside. The cabin is very comfortable and, to our surprise, had solid WiFi and satellite TV. We were even able to stream a movie one night. The gas fireplace kept the cabin nice and toasty in addition to looking like a real log fire. The kitchen worked well for the nights we ate in and there are restaurants within walking distance for the nights we wanted to go out. We hope to return some day to enjoy warmer weather and all the recreational opportunities that Shaver Lake offers.

Wonderful location, a bit over priced
The cabin is very nice, although it is smaller in person than the pictures make it look. This cabin would be perfect for a family with young children, but not so much for adults. The bedrooms and beds are very little. The back patio/fire pit area and the large front deck is very cool.
I will say I thought it was unfair that I paid a pretty expensive cleaning fee, even though I had to strip all of the beds, clean all of the dishes, take the garbage cans out, put all the dirty laundry alway. I basically cleaned the entire place myself.

This cabin fit our needs perfectly. It is well stocked in every room, and has been remodeled with the cutest rustic design theme. The owners take pride of their property and it shows. All of our questions were answered almost immediately. All was clean and ready for us upon arriving, no surprises as the owners have been mindful and created a small binder for renters to read and learn about the property, local stores, restaurants and what you may find at these locations. We found this weekend to be so relaxing, even with our three grand babies! Thank you Stob Family for being so gracious and trusting us with your beautiful cabin.

Great Stay!
Great location! The cabin is walking distance to the main town and lake. Everything was well stocked and clean. There was plenty of snow during our stay, and a nice area out back for the kids to play and enjoy the fireplace.

Nice quiet cabin
This is a nice cabin. The owner communicated well on how to check in and out and how to use the amenities. We walked into town. The kitchen and bathroom was stalked with everything that was needed. I am definitely going to come back.

Super cozy and great fit for our family.
We loved this home. It was our first time ever staying at a cabin so we didn’t know what to expect. I had questions and Reuben Stob would answer right away and was very helpful. The location of the home was perfect. We walked to the store and back and was beautiful with all the snow in the neighborhood. It had a nice size yard full of snow where my kids made a snow man and slid down with their sleds. We went to the snow park but if we wanted to we could of stayed at the cabin the whole time there was plenty of snow there. I really recommend this home, it had everything you need to cook inside and outside. We are looking forward to booking this cabin again in the future!!!

I was a first timer renting a cabin for a family trip and the process and rental exceeded my expectations. Cabin is cute and cozy and was very clean during our stay. Neighborhood is quiet and very close to stores, restaurants, and the lake. The owner was flexible and had great communication. I definitely recommend. I look forward to renting this cabin again for our family trips in the future.
