It is fully outfitted for the chef complete with gourmet knife set, spices, small appliances and everything else you might need to prepare your favorite meals. Off the living room is a large private deck perfect for those summer BBQs. Propane BBQ is hooked up to the house for an endless supply of fuel.

Our stay at this cabin was absolute perfection. The amenities, location, and cleanliness were all flawless. We loved how close it was to the lake, and the neighborhood was incredibly quiet. The host was fantastic—very responsive and easy to reach. The cabin had everything we needed, and the neighbors were so kind. We will definitely be back!
Cozy, spacious, and clean. Group of 4 co-workers working in the area. After spending 10 hours with co-workers, nice to go back to a place big enough for us to hang out, but then go to our rooms afterwards. Nice comfy beds!!!

We really appreciate you taking the time to share this.
It’s great to hear the home struck that balance for your group, plenty of space to spend time together, but also enough room to recharge after a long workday. That’s exactly how the layout is intended to function, especially for groups traveling together.
And we’re especially glad the beds delivered. A good night’s sleep after a 10-hour day makes all the difference.
Thanks again for staying with us, and we’d be glad to host you and your team anytime you're back in the area.
Perfect place for a large family. We celebrated our son’s birthday with friends and relatives. Enough space to entertain. Love the deck with gas bbq grill. 20mins away from the Sno Park was perfect. Would love to stay again.

Thank you so much for the kind review. We’re thrilled the cabin worked well for your family celebration and that there was plenty of space to gather and entertain. The deck and gas BBQ are definitely favorites, especially for group meals and special occasions. We’re also glad the location was convenient for easy access to the Sno Park while still feeling like a relaxing retreat. We’d love to welcome you back anytime for another stay and another celebration.
First off the host was great at communicating before the trip. The mountain home is beautiful and welcoming. I didn’t feel like I had to work hard to relax. Plenty of room for everyone to sleep and more than enough bathrooms. My only complaint is that we had to go home.

We’re really glad to hear the home made it easy to settle in and unwind. That’s exactly what we aim for, a place where you don’t have to think too hard about relaxing. Sounds like your group had plenty of space to spread out and enjoy it, which is always great to hear.
And as for having to go home… we wish we could fix that part too. You’re welcome back anytime to pick up right where you left off.
Thanks again for the kind words and for taking such great care of the home.
Property was very clean and had plenty of beds for everyone to sleep. Very cozy cabin for our stay.

About the host
Hosted by Erich Schaefer
We live and work in San Luis Obispo building custom homes but we love to relax at Shaver Lake. It has long been our desire to have a cabin in the mountains. Now that we have it, we look forward to sharing it with you! There are two types of enjoyment when it comes to having a cabin. One is the enjoyment of using the cabin yourself. The second is the blessing of having others enjoy it too!
Why they chose this property
The Sierra Pines neighborhood is one of the cleanest and best planned areas in Shaver Lake! With year round access, luxurious floor plans and spacious indoor garages, these homes are able to meet the needs of a wide variety of guests. From the first time we saw a home in Sierra Pines, our hearts were set on being able to have one of our own and be able to share it with our friends and family!
What makes this property unique
Tucked away among the towering pine and cypress trees, you'll love being in the middle of the beautiful forest while you enjoy time away with your family and friends. The time around here slows down to a crawl so you have plenty of opportunities to take in the beautiful creation everywhere you look!
