Cozy cabin perfect for families

We loved this cabin and will definitely stay again. The kitchen was well-stocked with pots, pans, utensils, etc that we needed to eat most of our meals in the cabin. The local restaurants are limited (great pizza, sandwich shop, grill options). The dining area and living room were both big enough for our family of 5 to eat/rest comfortably. The cozy fireplace, tv/dvd player, and beautiful views made relaxing in the cabin a highlight. Bedrooms were comfortable and having two bathrooms was helpful. The renovated kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, and original paneling in this cabin was the perfect combo of updated and vintage. Clean, comfortable, and warm from the heater and gas fireplace. The owner Jill was super responsive to questions. China Peak ski area is not far away, and there are two snow parks on the way. There were mudslides and some road work being done which slowed us down, so leave extra time to get around. Carry chains although we luckily didn't have to use them this trip. We had to leave a day early due to storms, but we had an epic ski / boarding day before we left. In Shaver, Bob's Market is well stocked and he is super helpful. Two sporting goods stores carry sleds, clothing and gear. Many trails to hike/walk (we like the trail behind the Forestry Fire Station on Dinkey Creek, which takes you through the woods and down to the shores of Shaver Lake), although right now the snow is so high you would need snow shoes. We have stayed in several cabins in Shaver, and this was by far our favorite. We will be back to enjoy the beautiful deck with gorgeous views.

About the host

Hosted by Jill Baxter

My husband is college football coach at Fresno State and founder and creator of Academic Gameplan. I am Sports Law attorney/and CEO of our company Academic Gameplan, which teaches students how to learn. We have two adult daughters The cabin is our place to relax. We bring our horses in the summer, hike, boat, and spend time with all the cabin owners we know in Shaver. In the winter we ski, snowboard, sled, and snow shoe. We currently live in Clovis, CA.

Why they chose this property

We looked for two years to find a cabin in Shaver. We wanted to buy a cabin not a house built in the mountains. This cabin has 4 bedrooms but was only 1,800 square feet. However, it felt much bigger, why?
This cabin was owned by the McQuaids for thirty years, a ship builder. Mr. McQuaid knew how to use space efficiently and used high quality building materials. It has great pine walls, well built, lots of big windows, 3/4 acre lot , but just needed some clean up. We spent two weeks putting in new flooring, decorating, and clean up. We found great antiques in the garage that now hang on the wall in the reading room. The cabinet in the reading room is the original kitchen cabinet of the cabin. The stone fireplace is made of quartz. The deck is huge and faces the beautiful trees. We can walk to town, the library, and to restaurants. This cabin is one of kind! We have been renting this cabin for years and everyone loves this cabin including us!! So if you rented this cabin from Bill, he retired. The second property management company isn't renting cabins anymore. So we are now renting this by owner. We love that other families enjoy our cabin, too!

What makes this property unique

We remodeled the kitchen, bathroom, and upstairs. The kitchen and bathroom customer cabinets were made out of a shaver tree my husband assisted well known logger Jeff Young hoist out of the bottom of Shaver Lake. The beautiful stone floors were installed by well known mason Dan Young. A beautiful stone shower in the bathroom makes you feel like you are outside. It is the only cabin in shaver with sinker wood custom cabinets. The upstairs bedrooms have all been recently painted and removed all carpet and put in flooring. The Deck is the same size as main level of the cabin. Beautiful View of Trees from every window in the cabin, Close to town, Not close to other cabins, lots of parking, Pine walls, well built, a cabin not a house built in the mountains, Four bedrooms, reading room, living room, large kitchen, separate mud room.
