We had our wedding at this property and it was absolutely amazing. House was clean and spacious and just the right amount of space we needed for our families to be able to stay and celebrate our beautiful day with us. Dottie was great and responded quickly to every message I sent. Would definitely recommend for a large family retreat!

This is a wonderful property. We have a large family & love to get together. This home is perfect. The location is quiet & picturesque. Everything you could need is onsite. There is plenty of room to spread out. Some could go for a walk in the forest, others could play games or quietly read their book. Thank you

We had the most amazing time during our family reunion. The house was large enough for everyone to have their own room. Our host was very quick to help with our questions and specific needs. The kitchen and dining room allowed for fun conversations and activities while prepping and eating. Can’t wait to rebook for next time!

Our large family of 11 (7 adults and 4 kids) had a fantastic stay here! The cabin is incredibly spacious, clean, and perfect for a big group. Most of the beds were comfortable, and the kids absolutely loved the bunk bed room. It is also dog-friendly, which was a huge plus for us. The kitchen is a standout feature—large, fully equipped with tons of appliances, and the extra fridge in the garage was incredibly helpful for stocking up. The hosts have a great policy requiring all dishes to go through the dishwasher (which takes about 2 hours) rather than being hand-washed, ensuring everything is perfectly sanitized for the next guests.We loved gathering around the large dining table for family meals. Having attached bathrooms in most bedrooms offered excellent privacy, and we appreciated the abundance of clean towels and the large washer and dryer. To top it all off, the location is ideal—peaceful but close enough to the town and the lake. The neighborhood was perfect for walking with the nearby trail. The host was very responsive to any questions I had and check in was real easy. Highly recommend!

Wonderful place for a large group!

We had a great time at Shaver Lake! We have a group of 15 people and this house fit us perfectly 😊. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, lots of space. Kitchen is stocked with every type of cookware! The ice maker wasn’t working and the host was easy to communicate with. We look forward to visiting again!

Thank you so much, Brandi, for staying!!!! We very much appreciate you notifying of us the ice maker so we can get the repair guys to fix it! I'm so glad you got the "White Christmas" weather treatment while you were there! (FYI: next winter is supposed to be an "El Nino" so we expect more, and even earlier, snow!) --Dottie

Beautiful and spacious

We had 4 families come together to stay at this property. Ages ranged from 8-78. The setup was perfect for us. The kids all got to sleep in the Fox Den and then play pool when they woke up before the adults. The whole area was very peaceful. The dining room table made it possible for all of us to eat together. Amazing place!

Natal Granite is the Real Deal

If you're looking for a place that can accommodate 20 people and each one having their own bed for a business retreat, Natal Granite is it. The location was excellent. The house had everything we needed to cook a dinner for 20 adults. Plus, any question we had met with an immediate response.

Cliff, Thanks for the great review! We have been hosting business, church and workshop retreats for many years now and love doing this! We have a Yoga retreat coming up this weekend, for their 2nd retreat--they love the deck for doing yoga. Glad you had a good trip, and much thanks for how clean you left the house!

Great location for larger group

The property was amazing!! The host is great at communicating details about property check in and check out. She even helped us make a last minute change to how information was shared. We held several planning meetings while we were there. The meeting rooms were perfect. The kitchen was great for making meals for 20 people. Plenty of room to sit and eat. The rooms and beds were fantastic. No complaints at all. We have booked this location several years in a row, and we will keep doing that.

Comfortable Spacious and Charming

This place was perfect for our family!!! The place was spacious, lots of bed, lots of rooms. The man cave was the favorite for the kids. Such a comfortable place. ***Dottie was amazing, there was supposed to be a snow storm and she made our safety a priority. We had to leave a day earlier and made sure we had the day allotted for. She made sure we had all the information we needed for our family trip so that there were no hiccups along the way. By far one of the nicest places I have rented out

Thank you for your kind review! I leave days open in Winter before and after a stay so that it is easier for people to travel if a storm happens during their stay. I was so glad you were able to arrive a day early and were open to possible need to stay a day longer at the end of your trip, due to the storms approaching! I think this is going to be a very nice snowy Winter!

Great vacation stay for a family or group

Our group had a great time staying at the cabin! Lots of space, plenty of beds, fully stocked kitchen, and a great location. Due to the fire damage to the Shaver Lake sewer system, guests are asked to be very conservative with the water use (no use of jacuzzi, no long showers, no running water). It didn't spoil our wonderful stay though. Hope, the issues are resolved by the city soon. The hiking trail goes right by the cabin for a nice walk and the nearby area isn't burnt by the fires. The host was very responsive and proactive prior to our arrival and we didn't have any issues during the stay

Wonderful Multi-Family Retreat

We do an annual trip with a group of families to visit the snow. We loved the Natal house. The pictures do not do it justice. We had 8 adults and 7 children. There was plenty of space for everyone. The large kitchen and dining table meant we could do food prep and eating as a group. The backyard had a little hill the kids loved sledding off of. 20 minutes away we were able to get up a little higher in elevation and have fresh snow for sledding. We had such a great time we are returning next year :)

Fantastic!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay. What an ideal home for a big family like ours. The only problem was that the water in kitchen wasn't very hot and the pressure was low. That made cleaning up pretty difficult. I tried calling the maintenance man Sunday night but he didn't answer. We did our best to adjust. It was so much fun playing in the local snow. Thank you so much for providing our family with such special memories.

So glad you enjoyed your stay! We have had a record snowfall and record cold this winter in the Sierras, and the utility company is having problems with freezing, so our water is just coming through with less volume at the moment. This is the first time in a long time Shaver Lake has had to cope with this much snow! We feel confident that once it thaws out they will figure out a plan for improvement, but in the meantime I am thankful they are delivering water at all. Please come back some time in the summer, too, and enjoy the wonders of the lake without snow!

Fantastic Place

We actually rented three properties in shaver lake this summer and our favorite by far is this one. Dottie does a great job having a clean ready to go great for large grieves with three crockpots tons of utensils and plates lots of beds to sleep in and the most important thing air-conditioning! All for less than the other comparable house cost. This is our second year staying here and we will certainly be back.
