The condo is in a nice gated neighborhood about 1.5 miles from Shaver Lake town. The condo itself is functional. My only gripe was that there was no key fob for the hot tub and the gate to get into the neighborhood. This meant that I had to dial in every time I went in and out of the gate. My kids were also disappointed to not be able to use the hot tub.

Overall our stay was a 6/10. The location and place was great. The views were perfect. Although it didn’t have a heater the fireplace kept it nice and cozy. The kitchen had a few imperfections(dirty dishes, broken cabinets and minimal pots/pans). The porch was covered in snow which we shoveled to use the grill, as we shoveled there was a ton of dog poop left over from who knows when which just smeared across and was stepped in also coming up the walkway which we didn’t notice till the next morning since we had a late check in. I messaged them and they were quick to respond which was appreciated. The rooms were nice, just no cable. This place was nice for a big family but if youre traveling with littles i would not recommend this place dude to the amount of stairs and visible cords. We love shaver and this was a last minute trip but i would totally stay here again.

Unfortunately, there was a snow storm a couple of days before our scheduled check-in & we were canceled the afternoon of check-in, after one group from Monterey County had begun their drive in that direction. My group was driving from 3 hours south of China Peak. We were offered to change dates for no additional fees, but our reservations at China Peak were non-refundable for that wkend & changing our dates would've been too much of a $$$ loss for our group. We had made it to Fresno when we were notified. The road was open & chains were required. We made sure to check w/caltrans. Airbnb explained to us that the snow at the entry way of the cabin wasn't removed & the cleaning crew hadn't been able to clean the cabin on time. I was refunded for 1 night & on standby for updates on the following night. 3 group members opted to return home due to this. Fortunately, we got to keep our 2nd night reservation & book an additional night after. We made the best of it. Cabin was beautiful &spaciou
