About Us
Welcome to Shaver Lake Retreats—a one-of-a-kind mountain experience designed for connection, comfort, and unforgettable memories. Whether you’re planning a family reunion, church retreat, group getaway, or multi-family vacation, our unique collection of four nearby homes offers something you won’t find anywhere else in Shaver Lake.
Unlike typical vacation rentals, Shaver Lake Retreats gives you the flexibility to book one home for a cozy stay or reserve all four properties together for a full retreat experience. When combined, the properties offer 23 bedrooms, 16 bathrooms, and 50 beds—providing plenty of space for large groups to stay together without feeling crowded.
Our homes are thoughtfully designed to bring people together, with spacious living areas for conversation, large dining spaces for shared meals, and inviting outdoor areas perfect for relaxing, playing games, or gathering in the evenings. This isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a place to connect, recharge, and create lasting memories.
Nestled in the beautiful Sierra Nevada mountains, you’ll enjoy peaceful forest surroundings along with easy access to Shaver Lake for boating, fishing, and swimming. Nearby hiking trails, outdoor adventures, and cozy winter snow escapes make this a destination you can enjoy year-round.
Shaver Lake Retreats is ideal for church groups, large family gatherings, youth groups, corporate or leadership retreats, and anyone looking for a shared mountain experience. What truly sets us apart is the rare ability to host large groups of up to 50 guests, flexible booking options, and a true retreat-style atmosphere that blends privacy, comfort, and nature.
If you’re looking for more than just a place to sleep—if you want a space where people can truly come together—Shaver Lake Retreats is the perfect destination. Book your stay and experience the mountains the way they’re meant to be shared.
Why Choose Us
Our Advantages
Exclusivity
One of the most unique aspects of Shaver Lake Retreats is the level of exclusivity we offer. When you book with us—especially when reserving multiple homes or the full property—you’re not just getting a cabin, you’re creating your own private mountain retreat. Unlike crowded resorts or shared lodging spaces, your group can enjoy the entire experience together without outside guests, distractions, or interruptions.
Our four homes are close enough to feel connected, yet spaced to provide comfort and privacy, allowing your group to gather intentionally while still having room to relax and unwind. This setup creates a rare balance—perfect for groups who want both togetherness and personal space.
Whether you’re hosting a church retreat, family reunion, or special gathering, the environment is fully yours. You set the schedule, the atmosphere, and the pace. There are no shared common areas with strangers—just your group, the mountains, and the experience you create together.
This level of privacy and flexibility is what transforms a simple stay into something far more meaningful: a truly exclusive retreat where memories are made without distractions.
Location
Shaver Lake Retreats is ideally located in the heart of Shaver Lake, offering the perfect balance between peaceful mountain seclusion and easy access to everything the area has to offer. Surrounded by towering pines and fresh Sierra Nevada air, our cabins provide a true escape into nature while still being just minutes from the lake, local shops, and dining.
Spend your days enjoying all that Shaver Lake has to offer—from boating, fishing, and swimming in the summer to hiking scenic trails and exploring the forest year-round. In the winter, the area transforms into a snowy retreat, perfect for sledding, snow play, and cozy cabin nights.
Our location makes it easy for groups to experience both adventure and relaxation without long drives or complicated logistics. Whether you’re planning outdoor activities or simply looking to unplug and enjoy the surroundings, everything you need is close by.
At Shaver Lake Retreats, you’re not just staying in the mountains—you’re right where you want to be.
Hospitality
At Shaver Lake Retreats, hospitality goes beyond providing a place to stay—we’re here to make your entire experience seamless, comfortable, and truly memorable. We offer a range of services designed especially for groups, so you can focus on enjoying your time together while we help take care of the details.
Through our partnership with Shaver Lake Deli, we can arrange catering for any or all of your meals, making it easy to host large groups without the stress of cooking. For bigger gatherings, we also coordinate with the Shaver Lake Community Center, providing a convenient and spacious option for group dining and shared meals.
To make your arrival even easier, we offer refrigerator stocking services with food and drinks for an additional cost—so everything is ready when you walk in the door. For those looking for a fully hands-off experience, we also provide optional all-inclusive packages that cover meals, setup, and more.
Whether you prefer a simple stay or a fully curated retreat, our goal is to provide flexible, high-quality service that enhances your time at Shaver Lake and allows your group to relax, connect, and enjoy every moment.
Testimonials
"For the last 12 years, we have rented a place at Shaver Lake every Labor Day for a family retreat. This was my favorite rental. There are extras throughout the house from the plumbed barbecue pit, to the phone chargers on the bef stands, etc… we interacted with the owners on a few occasions, although this is a business transaction, they genuinely want their renters to enjoy their stay. I would definitely recommend."

"Absolutely! This house is great for big groups. With 8 beds and being just 5 minutes away from the lake, it's the perfect getaway. It's fully equipped with everything you need for a fantastic stay. I definitely recommend it!"
- Ronald
"Our family group consisted of ten adults and six children. We were fortunate to have snow so the kids loved the sledding adventures! The house was well equipped with games and entertainment. The tri-level structure with the game room downstairs was so perfect. All we heard was a great deal of laughter! The house has a well stocked kitchen, and the barbecue right on the deck was very convenient. The owners were so patient as we worked our way through getting connected to the wifi. The bedrooms were beautiful, and the view out every window was spectacular! Our youngest child, age six, exclaimed that he wanted to buy the cabin! Amazing family memories were made! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property to other families and friends!"
