About this property

Two Bears Basecamp | Views, Trails, Flat Parking

Summary:
"Two Bears Basecamp" is located in gated Bretz Mill community with a pool, spa, sauna and trails! It's the perfect location for a couple's retreat or small family. Cozy and bright!

The Space:
Incredible cabin just the right size for a couple's getaway or small family retreat.  You'll love the updated kitchen with new appliances and everything you'll need for a home-cooked meal.  The living room and breakfast nook are open and airy with vaulted ceilings, a propane fireplace, and large sliding glass doors to view the gorgeous forest off the back deck.  Upstairs, the bedroom features a super comfortable king size bed with memory foam topper, a Smart TV to stream your favorite shows, and an attached bathroom.  A second space upstairs is perfect for storing your luggage, getting ready in the morning, to use as a work space, or to put the pack and play if you're traveling with little ones. The community offers a pool in the summer, and a spa and sauna all year long.  Community dumpsters ensure you don't have to deal with trash removal issues which are common in Shaver. Come for a stress-free visit to Shaver Lake, we know you'll love Two Bears Basecamp!

Guest Access:
Guests have access to the entire property, deck, and *seasonal* pool and spa. There are paved streets and walking trails that guests may use. There's ample parking that is first come first served, located along the front of the unit. Trash dumpsters are located a short walk from the cabin.

The Neighborhood:
Located in the quiet and friendly gated community of Bretz Mill, Two Bears is likely to become your favorite Shaver Lake destination! Access to the pool and spa during the summer, and large snowy areas during the winter, are just the icing on the cake. The pool and spa area are just across the street! Only 5 minutes from downtown Shaver Lake and 10 minutes to the lake, you're close enough to enjoy restaurants and activities, yet far enough away to relax on a busy weekend. This condo backs up to forest ground, so the deck faces beautiful towering evergreens and walking trails. Walk toward the main road to take advantage of the horseshoe pits, bbq area, and stream in Ockenden. Just a 30-minute drive to the Dinkey Creek swimming pools, wind surfing at Huntington Lake, and China Peak Ski Resort. About 45 minutes to fishing at Wishon and Courtright Reservoirs.

Getting Around:
We suggest using your own vehicle to get around.  Traveling in the winter? 4 wheel drive and tire chains are strongly encouraged, and may be required by California Highway Patrol when there's snow in the forecast.  The main road (Rockledge) is plowed, but we still suggest bringing a snow shovel and preparing to walk through snow if you're coming during a snowstorm.

Other Things to Note:
Two Bears Basecamp is a condo in a gated community. We have neighbors that are full time residents, please follow the "Bretz Mill Rules" of no fires, no parties, and quiet hours begin at 10pm.
The pool is seasonal- open only for the summer. The spa is open year around, weather and elements permitting.
Because of heightened fire danger, there are no open fires allowed outside. The grill provided is propane.
Since the Creek Fire, there has been an influx in wildlife in the area. Make sure you do not leave food outside, and clean the BBQ after use. Be aware of your surroundings during walks.
Pitch and sap will accumulate on your shoes after walking around outside, please remove your shoes indoors.

Interaction with Guests:
We have a 100% response rate!

We are available from 8am-9pm by messaging through the app or calling/texting the Customer Service phone number provided in your check-in instructions.

While we’re not available in person, we do have amazing neighbors and friends in the area who can make themselves available if absolutely necessary.

Beautiful place to stay!

We had such a relaxing weekend and really enjoyed all the comforts of home. The place itself felt very comfortable and clean, the hot tub was nice, the area around was peaceful and had a nice walking trail right by the cabin. They thought of pretty much everything in the kitchen too! We usually bring our own food to cook and realize there's something missing when we get where we're going, but this kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. I would absolutely stay there again!

Great place to visit, we will be returning

Very nice place. I brought my wife here for our 20th wedding anniversary and this place didnt disappoint. Many food options close by and if we wanted to cook, there was a bbq supplied & a beautiful 5 burner stove in the kitchen. Not any traffic which meant we could hear nature. We will be back with the family for sure. Clean & warm.

One week stay

Typical of photos that represent a cabin/house in better condition than it really is in person. This facility needs more/better maintenance and updating.

The condo/cabin needs upgrading and a lot of TLC. Unfortunately, couldn't get the TV to work properly without any instructions provided.
