Highly recommend this beautiful rental!We stayed in a stunning house in a gorgeous neighborhood that perfectly combined comfort and adventure. Every day we headed out to explore the incredible 4x4 trails nearby — Mirror Lake, Coyote Lake, and Bald Mountain were all fantastic. Coming back to this house each evening felt like a true reward. We’d shower in the spacious bathrooms and sleep incredibly well in comfortable beds.The layout was ideal for our group. Every bedroom is a private suite with its own attached bathroom and shower, giving everyone plenty of space and privacy. We also loved the pool table — it was a huge hit and provided hours of fun in the evenings.The whole area is wonderfully quiet and peaceful, making it the perfect relaxing base after a full day of off-roading. We felt right at home the entire time.We would book this property again in a heartbeat!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the New England cottage / cabin @ Shaver Lake. The home was clean & spacious & very comfortable! We really loved the big picture windows in the main living area, as well as the pool table upstairs & the wonderful rock fireplace! It was a quiet & peaceful & restful getaway, exactly what we needed! Thank you!!

Hi, Cinda, thank you for your review, we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with your valuable feedback. We are disappointed to hear that we dropped the ball this time, as this is not the high standard of guest satisfaction and cleanliness that we hold ourselves to. We have provided your valuable feedback to our local manager to address with our housekeeping team. We hope to have the opportunity to better impress you in the future!
