You have access to the entire home. I'll send you a personalized key code one week before check-in. Access is that easy :)

The cabin is for families and friend getaways only, no parties. We are the owners, not a rental agency. We have neighbors who live next to our cabin year round and we want to respect that.

Large deck with table and chairs in the summertime, with a good cup of joe in hand (complimentary selection of coffee and hot cocoa are offered, of course).

We have a crockpot, waffle maker, and flat griddle great for pancakes or crepes! We have a nice covered bbq area with a charcoal bbq. You will need to bring charcoal. Wifi, 2 flat-screen TVs equipped with Blu-ray players so you can access your fav programs via Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, or other, DVD library, bocce ball, corn hole, foosball, and board games.

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.

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 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.

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 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.
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.

Wonderful place close to everything
Love this place! It was perfect for my family and close to the Village and Lake. Jaime was great to work with and very responsive with our confirmation and information about the cabin and surrounding area which was very helpful. The cabin had a lot of movies to watch as well after a day out and about hiking and on the lake. The kitchen had all the things we needed to cook our own meals. We also enjoyed sitting out on the deck at the table and just relaxing. Looking forward to a future stay here!

Great Customer Service!
We loved our stay at the Well's cabin! We especially liked the friendly touch Jaime had with her communication. If it is important to you to have a personal touch, fast communication time, and an accommodating spirit, then this is the cabin for you. The cabin has everything you will need for a wonderful time at Shaver Lake. We plan to rent this cabin again - and we highly recommend it to you!

Great place and excellent communication from owner... will come back
We were 2 small families and had a great time at Shaver Lake. This house has everything we needed (and more) and the owner was very helpful through the whole process... we even got a few extra perks we were not expecting. The outside grill allowed us to cook great food while hanging out on the outside deck. At the beginning we were concerned about not having wifi... now I wish we didn't even have cell phone signal. Thanks for your attentions Jamie!.
