Shaver Lake, California
Welcome to My Side of the Mountain!
My Side of the Mountain is named after my favorite childhood book by Jean Craighead George. It is such a great book filled with adventure, mountains, creativity, courage and independence along with sharing with us the beauty of nature.
This is the perfect place for your family or a small group of friends. Enjoy close proximity to Shaver Lake's amenities. Keep your eyes peeled for a deer passing by. Sit on the deck as you gaze at the stars in the crisp mountain air. You will find yourself relaxing and enjoying the beautiful surroundings while spending quality time with family and friends. During vacations, I love to recharge, read a book, experience nature, enjoy good food, eat lots of ice-cream, explore, hike and have deep conversations under the stars.
We are located less than 2 miles from the restaurants of Shaver Lake and just 3.5 miles from the marina. Whether summer, fall, winter, or spring is your favorite time of year, there is always something to do in Shaver.
My Side of the Mountain is a relaxing mountain getaway on a beautiful lot. The cabin is a tri-level 3-bedroom, 3 baths with plenty of space to stretch. A fully equipped kitchen provides a user-friendly space to cook a meal. A washer and dryer in the cabin are perfect for sandy beach towels in the summer and for damp ski clothes in winter. The cabin has Wi-Fi and 2 flat screens that allows you to get cozy with a good movie next to the fireplace! Both TVs are equipped with a ROKU so you can connect to Netflix, Hulu Amazon Prime or other (not equipped with cable TV). The cabin boasts a large deck with table and chairs in the summertime, where you can enjoy a good cup of hot chocolate or coffee in the early mornings. The deck also has a new propane BBQ so that you can enjoy the night stars and amazing summer weather while you BBQ.
The cabin has three bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Bedroom 1 located upstairs has a king bed. Upstairs on the loft area are a full bed and a twin bed. Bedroom 2 located on the main level has a king bed. Bedroom 3 downstairs has a king bed and a twin bed. We provide linens and towels.
Our family had a great stay here! Highly recommend!
Cheerful, spacious family cabin ready for fun! Great place, to created familia memories and relaxation for everyone. The property manager is a great host, appreciate her communication.
We enjoyed our stay at this cabin. There was plenty of sleeping spaces available. Check in and check out process was very easy.
We loved the home, it had every thing we needed plus more. It was functional, great location, which worked great for our big family. We all enjoyed her story, we would definitely stay again.
Our experience at this home was great! We love the location of the cabin, just minutes away from town and the lake. The home itself has plenty of plenty of bed for larger families to stay. Thank you to the Host who accommodated our stay, making check in and check out easy for us. Overall enjoyed our stay and we were happy about our cabin choice!
Property was beautiful and full of fun. Anne was extremely responsive and accommodating. 10/10 would recommend.
We had a great time, enjoyed each other and the property. Well laid out and quiet.
We found our stay in this home to be exactly what we were looking for, and the listing is pretty spot-on. In fact, the only differences are upgrades to the amount of bedding; as two of the beds pictured as single twin beds, are now twin bunk beds. All beds were comfortable for our family, and the living room & dining room furniture were also comfortable and met our needs. There are several games, books, and puzzles to enjoy ... in addition to the outdoor space on the patio. Town is just a short drive (maybe 2 miles) away. We didn't need anything from Anne during our stay, but she informed us we could reach out to her for questions, etc. and she reached out to us confirming we had the access info and wished us a safe drive home. She is very hospitable. The home has three floors with a bedroom on each floor, and a twin bunk and a full size bed in the loft space on the 3rd floor. The kitchen was stocked with the cooking utensils and cookware we needed and some seasonings, tea, and coffee. Check-in and check-out was easy and we wish we could've stayed longer. We will recommend this home to friends/family and would love to stay there again. One note to future visitors, we arrived in the dark, and our map kept saying the home is on the right side of the street, but in actuality, the home is on the left side - we were using google maps. We had a great 4th of July holiday here!
The cabin is great for a large group. Plenty of sleeping space! Our host was very attentive and the neighborhood is really nice. However, it was not very clean which is the most important thing to me. There was food on the floor of the kitchen and pantry closet. Chips and food behind the couch and dead bugs in every window sill. I wiped off the stovetop before we used it and there was food stuck on it. We went to make coffee in the provided coffee maker and the pot was not only filthy, but cracked, so unusable. The kitchen faucet was broken and only provided super hot water. The cold didn’t work at all. The only heat beside the fireplace (which works great to heat the house but takes awhile) are two wall heaters and one was broken. We were there during the big blizzard so initially it was pretty cold, but warmed up eventually. Overall, the space is good and bathrooms were pretty clean which made things a little better. And, the beds were soooooooo comfy! All linens were really nice too! And again, our host was lovely and got someone to plow so we could get our cars out to leave. Otherwise, we’d still be there! We were very grateful for that.

My family and I enjoyed a three-day weekend at this cozy home. It was our first time there and would definitely stay there again. A large table for meals together. We spent a day at the snow park and then another just right outside the door. Three levels makes it helpful to separate the group for younger kids and older to visit. Very nice beds. Thank you so much.
I want to thank you for being a very gracious and helpful host. My family and I were able to spend the holidays together in your beautiful home and made many memories. The home itself was spacious for my large family, and had many things to keep us busy. My children enjoyed going to the nearby snow park and the adults enjoyed the many hiking trails. Even during the snowfall we were able to connect and stay warm with the many games you had provided. Our annual family trip to the mountains is a highlight each year for my family and staying here was a great experience. We appreciate the attention you put to the many details in the cabin and are very grateful for your many updates amidst the winter storm. We definitely had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this space to our loved ones. Happy New Year!
We had a great stay. We have rented for many years in Shaver Lake. This is one of our favorites.
