Another Amazing Stay

The Great Escape is our favorite house to stay at in Shaver Lake. It is beautiful and clean and fully stocked. The location is amazing. Jamie, the host, is the greatest and so wonderful to work with. The owners of the house are wonderful as well. It is always a fabulous time when we stay here. We can't wait for next summer!

Relaxation with a view

A prime location! This beautiful cabin sits in privacy with the most amazing lookout for spectacular sunsets! We were spoiled by everything the cabin offered! Such a warm stay with everything you need to enjoy your time away! It felt like home and what we needed. On our last evening we were even treated by a visit from a family of deer in the backyard - simply majestic! Thank you for the communication, recommendations, and such a wonderful stay! Hope to see you again soon!

Wonderful place to stay.

This property was perfect for our annual family getaway. Very clean and welcoming from the decor to the comfy bedding. The house had great amenities for kids and adults.

Hudson Cabin Family Getaway

We absolutely loved staying in the incredible Hudson Cabin. There was enough room for over a dozen family members to spread out, cook together, hang out in the hot tub and play loads of games together. We rented a pontoon to enjoy the lake one day of our trip and spent the rest lapping in peace and luxury. Can’t wait to come back!

This place is a dream!

What a beautiful house! Plenty of space, cozy and clean, fully equipped, and exactly as pictured. You can tell that the owners love this place and it shows. If you want to feel like a welcome guest at your best friend’s mountain retreat, then look no further! A few minutes drive gets you to the town and all of the fun lake activities. The host replies quickly and has lots of tips. Thanks for the memories. We will definitely be back!

This Cabin Has It All

We had a wonderful stay at The Great Escape Cabin and would highly recommend it to anyone! The cabin is located in the ideal location, only 5 minutes from town, 10 minutes to Shaver Lake & Camp Edison, and 30 minutes to both the Mariposa Sequoia Grove and Dinkey Creek. The cabin itself is modern, clean, and full of all the amenities a family could want. Having a large yard with a deck, privacy, and great views was a huge plus for our family since we have young children. We’ve been doing an annual summer cabin stay with our friends for the past 4 years and this was by far the best cabin we’ve stayed in. Thank you for a great stay, we hope to be back next year!!

What a beautiful home!

We loved this home. Beds were comfy & great location with great views! The only complaint that I have is that the house doesn’t have central AC and that was what I was expecting. The master stays cool because of the portable cooler that’s in there but other than that the house was very warm and uncomfortable in the afternoon/evening so therefore I gave it 4 stars. We would go back but not in this heat.

Priceless

Jamie has hosted my family before and knows exactly what our family damanic is. So out all the Amazing cabins she hosts she recommend the "Great Escape" where she said my family would be most comfortable.....my son was home from Airforce and it was soooooooo important that my family spent quality time before he deploys. The Cabin was priceless and beyond our expectations!!! We really felt like we were at home and lacked nothing everything was A A A AMAZING......i cant believe they would rent out such a personal cabin with everything in it that you would possibly need!!! Jamie actually cares about the experience she helps create for the families that she host!!! I give 10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Stars out of five!!!! Cant express in words how greatful we are for our " Cabin Host"

Great house and even better hosts!

We've had several annual trips and reservations hosted specifically through the cabinhost homes. Jamie has consistently provided the best communication and is very helpful when it comes to questions and goes above and beyond to ensure we feel welcome. Each house comes fully stocked with amenities and extra gifts. We specifically reserve homes that are hosted by Jamie/thecabinhost each year. This house has a great open floor in the common areas (dining, kitchen, and family room) where we gather each night. There's plenty of space around the property for our young kids to enjoy sledding. It's small enough where they can climb up themselves and slide down. The backyard is big and spacious. This is the third time we have stayed at this particular house. Unfortunately, the previous tenants or a neighbor did not clean up after their dog and the backyard was littered. We had to pick it up before the kids stepped on it. Overall, I still would book this house again. Our families had alot of fun playing in the snow and made wonderful memories during our stay. Thank you Jamie!
