Families, friends, and colleagues can all enjoy some well-earned peace and quiet with a stay in this stunning Lakeshore, CA home! This spacious abode for 12 balances the natural peace and quiet of the area with a great selection of activities for visitors year-round! This getaway lies in a secluded cul-de-sac fifteen miles northeast of Shaver Lake Village. The town's shops and restaurants are only moments away when you need them, but you'll be surrounded by swaying trees and stunning views of the forest from the decks on every level. There's space enough in this home for everyone to get nice and comfy. Find a recipe in one of the cookbooks to try in the well-equipped kitchen. You can dine indoors or bring your food out to the deck for some fresh mountain air. When night falls, gather around the wood stove and challenge everyone at one of the many board games available before heading off for a good night's sleep.

Visiting in the summer, make sure to stop by Shaver Lake (15 miles away) for some fishing, swimming, water sports, or simply picnicking on the shore. You can also head over to Huntington Lake (only 7.2 miles away). If you're into off-roading, Red Mountain OHV trailhead is less than one mile from the cabin. China Peak Mountain Resort is open for mountain biking in the summer and also has become a popular wedding venue for summertime weddings! Mono Hot Springs is 26 miles away and is home to over a dozen natural mineral hot springs along the San Joaquin River. There are plenty of nearby hiking trails. Visiting in the winter? Head over to China Peak Mountain Ski Resort, only 6 miles away, where you can enjoy the pristine ski trails! Visit one of several nearby Sno-Park areas to enjoy sledding with the family. The Red Mountain OHV trails are a popular destination for snowmobilers in the winter.

Another great stay!

We had another great time returning to this cabin and we were happy to see some small upgrades from our last visit. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the needed cooking utensils and pots/pans. We can’t wait for our next trip back up to the mountains and will definitely be staying here.

Austrian wonderland, best cabin so far!

This cabin had everything, good neighbors, all the amenities, lots to look at inside, 4th story loft for a huge family with kids. Nice 2nd story quiet 3 bedroom area, master has a 2 person tub or should i say hot tub. 3rd story kitchen, fully equipped! We took advantage of the movie collection, Chess and poker tables while there. Plus it is the first 3 rights to China Peak for skiing, 15 minutes with chains on. Wear chains 2023 or you'll be skiing in your 4x4 but even 2wd made it with chains/cables.

Great family friendly rental

We had a family gathering for this stay. Be prepared for a lot of stairs. The kitchen was very nicely equipped. We had to wash everything before we used it. The shower portion in the kitchen level bathroom was broken. Overall the place was very well kept. There is no Wi-Fi and very little cell signal, so be prepared for that. We wish we could have stayed longer. It was extremely peaceful. There was a bear there one night and the next night there were a bunch of beef cattle roaming the area. Pretty cool to watch.

Peaceful Retreat

I recently stayed at this beautiful log cabin, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience! The cabin’s rustic charm combined with modern amenities made it the perfect place for a peaceful retreat. The natural wood interiors gave it such a warm and inviting feel, and the craftsmanship throughout was impressive. The cabin itself was cozy, impeccably clean, and beautifully furnished. The kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals, and the outdoor propane fire pit was a great spot for relaxing in the evenings. The owners clearly put a lot of thought into every detail, making sure guests feel welcome and comfortable. One of the highlights was the nearby hiking trails—perfect for anyone who enjoys outdoor adventures. We hiked Rancheria Falls and enjoyed lunch at the China Peak Landing at Huntington Lake. Whether you're looking to explore the area or just relax on the porch with a cup of coffee, this cabin is the ideal retreat. I can't recommend this place highly enough and can't wait to return for another peaceful escape!

Great Family Cabin

We had a wonderful time up the with family and friends. The cabin is set up perfectly with and abundance of space and a huge kitchen. The 4th floor loft is great for families with kids. The Starlink Wifi works great. The cabin is only 15 minutes from China Peak and the main road to the cabin is plowed (chains ALWAYS recommended, but we didn't need to use them). The kitchen had some new pans to cook with on the beautiful gas stove and loads of plates/cups/etc. The dishwasher was nice to have with such a large group. We brought our own wood to use the fireplace, but the heater keeps the whole place very cozy. The Tamarack neighborhood is quiet and beautiful to walk around the road (which is one big loop). Highly recommended!

Beautiful Home

This mountain log home felt like a retreat! Everything about the home is custom, warm and welcoming. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots, pans, gadgets and small kitchen appliances! The oven was brand new and in perfect working condition. I really appreciate that there was enough soap and dishwasher pods for our whole stay. The rooms were warm with lots of blankets, which were great for snowy winter retreat! The game table was a fun! There are games there but we brought our favorites. We had a slight issue with the T.V. But the property manger work with us. The only thing I’d recommend is bring your own firewood to enjoy the beautiful fireplace!! We really enjoyed our stay and we thank the owners for sharing their home with us!! 5 ⭐️

Isolated

It would have been better if the description would explain the distance from town, the elevation and that there is no internet or TV. The lock boxes on the door described in the instructions did not work. Luckily, after about 45 minutes, I found another lock box around the back on the gas meter. The Keurig coffee maker and the CD changer did not work. The grout in the master bathroom was missing/loose.

Great stay for a family Headed to China Peak

We very much enjoyed our stay. The house has a great upstairs loft for kids to hang out, play and sleep, even a big group of them. The kitchen counter was large enough to accommodate our entire group to sit for a meal. The living room is comfortable and the wood burning fireplace is working. The location is easy to get to and close to China Peak if you’re headed out for the day. It’s a quick drive down the mountain to get into the town of Shaver for any necessities that you may have forgot, or passes for sled parks. Some things are a bit dated, but I believe the owners are updating those items. The stove is fun, but the oven door sounds like it’s going to break every time you open and close it. The sheets on all the beds could do with an upgrade in quality but the blankets are warm. Some of the cookware has been used roughly but overall the kitchen is stocked with all items that you will need to make and enjoy a meal. The cupboards are not stocked with things like ziplocks, coffee, seasonings are minimal etc. We would recommend this day to a friend, or come back ourselves .

Horrible service

Where to start … this cabin could be amazing , prime location to China peak however vacasa the company that they use to take care of their cabin is HORRIBLE. Check in was supposed to be at 4 at 430 they were still cleaning it .. my family of 10 just waiting outside after a long day of snowboarding.It was still dirty . They left us 9 towels not even 10 for. 4 day stay , no laundry pods to even wash the towels they gave us . 3 nights 4 days no trash bags and the worlds smallest trash can in kitchen . I reached out to the company they eventually brought towels and said that they were doing it to be nice that they actually don’t have to and then told me I needed to buy my own trash bags that they are not provided lol what ?!? We book a cabin every year for a snowboarding trip this was the worst stay . So rude and upsetting . If 10 ppl are staying in a property for 4 days and u are not providing trash bags let us know also 9 towels for 10 ppl is not even realistic. My sheets were dirty there was nasty napkins soaked in the poker table cup holders no hand towels in the kitchen . I reached out trying to get any of these things and they were u helpful. I hope the people who rent out this cabin drops vacasa as their agency because it could be wonderful.

Rent from another company.

Don't rent from Vacasa. I will say the house itself is beautiful but not worth all the trouble. We had our stove explode two times, it was something I had never heard or seen before. We will never forget it, that's for sure. I immediately tried to reach out to Vacasa, when I finally got a hold of someone they told me no one could come out to take a look at what was going on. Which was concerning because this was a safety issue. They told me in this case to cook on the BBQ grill outside(in the cold). I found an electric griddle and that DIDN'T work either. So we only cooked whatever we could outside. (We were left with so much food we weren't able to cook). The oven didn't work either. Apparently, it hasn't been after reading other reviews. The next morning all of my calls were forwarded to a voice-mail. Vacasa did provide compensation but it was not suitable in my opinion. I have made several attempts to have someone call me back regarding this matter and no one has called me back. This is a lesson learned , I will never rent from this company again. Extremely unprofessional.

Great location bad property management

We arrived at our check in time of 4pm and the cleaning person was still there. She was by herself and continued cleaning for 45 more minutes. When I asked her how much longer until she was done she said she would leave the sheets for the loft and I could make the beds myself so she could get out of our way and go to another job. I said no she could do it. We also had to ask her to empty the trash compactor as that was full. The place was large and the location was amazing. It was not cleaned very well and could use a deep clean and some maintenance. One of the sliding glass doors doesn’t lock, the railings are very wobbly on the decks, and there was a rusty nail sticking up on one of the decks. Both can openers in the kitchen didn’t work. A lot of the drawers/cupboards are dirty as well as some of the items were dirty-example pans were greasy and needed to be washed before use and a glass had lipstick on it. The worst thing about this place was the sheets. They are terrible quality and are all flat sheets. Everyone in my family thought they were terrible. The sleeping loft also could use curtains for the sliding doors so you don’t wake up with the sun. The place is very unique and could be amazing. The property management company is terrible about responding to questions. I will be very careful not to rent a property managed by Vacasa in the future.

Beautiful Beautiful home! Stocked kitchen was disappointing

The home is extraordinary. The kitschy design and decor appealed to me very much. The bathrooms were stocked with crisp white towels and the basic shampoo and conditioner. Our favorite part was the vast DVD collection. The kids enjoyed that very much. We also appreciated the baby gates for the stairs. Now for the negatives. I hate to emphasize these, however I think it will help others make accurate decisions for themselves and their families. The boardgames were very disheveled, and were either broken or had missing pieces. The kitchen was the biggest disappointment for us. There were ziplock bags in drawers that were either empty (already used) or half full of items such as sugar, coffee grounds, etc. The pans were all worn. The plates were chipped and not organized. And the shelves and drawers were dirty with crumbs and stains.
