Perfect Family Cabin

We stayed at the Elderberry House for a snow weekend with the grandkids. The home was perfect! The check in instructions were helpful, bedding and furniture were comfortable, and the location was perfect. Everything was provided. We will be back.

Great cabin!

The Elderberry Retreat is a wonderful cabin. There was plenty of room for our family of 4. The kitchen was well stocked, clean, and overall felt very homey. Located is a quiet neighborhood just down the street from the main road. The Foosball table and games were a big hit.

We stayed here over the weekend and everything was amazing. Great decor, comfortable beds, wonderful location, and most importantly 5 star service by the owner Jamie. Jamie was quick to respond with any concerns and very flexible with our time. I would definitely recommend this cabin for your trip.

Great house for our Thanksgiving break

Had an amazing time in this nice cabin near Shaver Lake over Thanksgiving. We were two families with 4 kids, it was perfect for the eight of us. Nestled between tall trees the place is quite and peaceful. Very close to Camp Edison on Shaver Lake which is a great place to spend the day. Thank you Jamie for making our stay comfortable.

Great Location!

My family and I had a great weekend in this adorable cabin! Quick stroll down the street for dinner, up the road to Huntington for hiking to a waterfall and best of all it's less than 10 min from Shaver Lake! Beds were very comfortable, kitchen is super functional and a big enough couch for us 3 adults and 3 kids to watch a movie on! Definitely going back!

Great cabin for ski weekend with friends/family.

We stayed for a long weekend with 2 families with small kids. Great loft for kids to sleep in with 2 rooms for the adults. Short drive to China Peak. Appreciated all the cooking extras in the kitchen like small appliances, spices, and condiments. Would definitely stay here again.

Elderberry Retreat

Our family has stayed in the Elderberry Retreat for two winters in a row now and we cannot recommend it enough. The location is great as its an easy walk into the village to restaurants and coffee shops. The cabin itself is great for a family. The kids love the loft and the front yard is large and the perfect place to play in the snow. The host is fantastic and very easy to work with. We cannot wait to return again next winter!

Lovely Elderberry Retreat

It has cute little touches that enhance the ambiance of the cabin. The Cabin Host provides within the cabine everything you need to enjoy your vacation. We just had to bring our food and clothing and the rest is there. I love that we can walk to town and the lake from the Elderberry Retreat location. This was our second stay in this cute cabin and we'll be back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great location and cozy cabin with all the amenities

My family stayed here for an extended weekend. It was very comfortable with plenty of beds for all our needs, a great coffee corner from which we could all serve ourselves, foosball and games upstairs for the children and a kitchen adequate for all the cooks. Best of all was a very helpful owner available to answer questions and make suggestions and a great trail guide book our hikers and runners found invaluable. Thanks for the great time.

Great Cabin!

We really enjoyed our stay in this rental on our trip to Shaver Lake. The house is spacious, very clean, tastefully furnished, and equipped with all essentials one might need in a home away from home. Communication with the owner was fast and straight forward. They even let us come to the house before 3pm. We would return to this property if we were in the area again and definitely recommend it!

Great Place

Our family had a wonderful time at this cabin. Jamie was very responsive to any questions we had. It has an extremely well stocked kitchen and plenty of room upstairs for the kids. Since we were there during a heat wave, the A/C did make us comfortable in the afternoons. Plenty of room to park boat trailers. Bocce ball was a very big hit!

Great place.

We had a great time in the snow for a last minute trip while our cabin was having some work done. The cabin was as described except for some confusion about a 3rd bedroom which is actually an open loft. If we ever needed to stay again we would. Thank you, Jamie.
