Our Time at the Pond Cabin
We have stayed at this cabin over 6 times over the years and we keep going back because it is very roomy. It has 5 large bedrooms with king beds! The two stoves / ovens make it great for large groups. The living room and dining room has plenty of seating for large groups. The mud room, and garage make it nice for storing ice chests and snow gear. The back yard is flat which is perfect for snow play in the winter. It is 5 minutes from the town of Shaver. Overall, this cabin is an excellent value.. as long as you don't mind 70's decor. We like it! A few things to note: the kitchen is not well appointed. Really rustic pots and pans and serving dishes. If you plan to cook or prepare a lot of food, bring your own items. It doesn't have a Keurig coffee maker or a blender. It does have an air fryer. They only give you a small dish soap so bring more of that, bring more toliet paper, and several more garbage bags for your big groups.

Accommodating.
A lot of space for a large family. Great layout. Game room was a big hit. The accommodations were exactly as advertised. Will certainly consider it again.

Great no frills cabin
We absolutely loved this cabin and would consider renting again, as long as the weather is cool enough. There is no AC. We knew this going in and brought 6 fans with us. The hottest day was 95, we put box fans in the windows, facing outwards and it helped a lot. There were a lot of cups, plates, silverware, pots and pans, but only 1 cutting board, 1 measuring cup, 1 cookie sheet and all the knives were dull. I would suggest bringing a knife sharpener and cutting board with you. There were a few left over spices in the cabinets, but definitely bring anything you need if you are picky. We were given only 1 travel soap for hand dishes, 3 pods for the dishwasher, 3 pods for laundry, travel size shower toiletries, and 6 rolls of TP for 9 people 7 days. We were told they "start you off" but everything else is on you. I wish I had known ahead of time. We ended up spending over $100 at the local market instead of bringing them with us. No biggie, but I wish I knew ahead of time. There were ample towels, blankets and bedding for a large group. Wifi is the slowest wifi ever! 2 people in our group had to leave early because they could not work on the wifi provided. the TV is a smart TV, so we were able to log in and watch all of our subscription channels which was awesome! I also loved that I didn't have to clean the house before we left. Most places require about an hour of stripping beds and sweeping, etc. This check out was a breeze! Notes to Vacasa on things that need to be attended to: * The toaster doesn't work at all * The screen on the kitchen window needs re-done. A yellow jacket was in our cabin before we realized this. * The fridge was leaking water even though we never touched the thermostat. It wasn't a lot, but you may want to look into it. * The side table in the downstairs bedroom is broken. The bracket is completely hanging off the wall * The side table in the upstairs bedroom to the right of the stairs has a broken side table with a sharp edge * That same upstairs bedroom has broken vinyl blinds that are on the floor * The dining room table needs a lock on it. The table with the leaf in separates and a few times pinched people sitting at the table. * The sliding door in the game room only opens about a foot and then gets stuck * The game room TV doesn't work even after we replaced the batteries in the remote * The ping pong table is not able to be played on. the net is broken and the paint is lifting bad

Beautiful Pond setting
Great check in but walked into horrible smell of 6 bags of trash in garage. Started dinner & found out that 1 stove didnt get repaired/replaced as I wa s told it would be in APRIL when we reserved. Upstairs shower door sticks so bad so hard to open that my 8 & 11 yr old couldnt get out of it wo help. Bottom floor toilet so short my mom had to have help off it. No kitchen towels and for a 5 bedroom house to have 8 towels is unacceptable, should have been told this so we could have brought some and a table on the big porch would be nice as was shown in pictures. My family has rented this house MANY times and not had problems...and the huge kitchen with 2 stoves is a huge draw for us. VERY disappointed this time tho they came and got the nasty trash out within the hour. Was promised a refund on the amenities lost due to stove not working but we will see. Sorry to be a negitive nancy but wanted to be honest on review...had someone said this we would have prob passed on it Thanks

Large house, big bedrooms, fun game room
A little run down but perfect for the kids. Don’t have to worry about them messing anything up. Rude-neighbors We had 5 adults, 5 kids 5 cars and we got a complaint about having a party because someone parked in the road. But there was not enough room for all 5 cars. 1 manager called and threatened to kick us out for having a party. Um.. we had 5 children there... then another manager called and politely asked us to move the one car. The threatening phone call was un called for. We were able to squeeze all the cars in. It wasn’t a huge deal. They said were were only allowed to have 3 cars?? I’m 5 guest coming from 5 locations... duh.. Power went out, nice to have the fireplaces, kept us warm in 30 degree weather. There was firewood there but we also brought 5 boxes to use. The management company literally left us 3 dishwashing pods... but then asked us to start the dishwasher before we left. We stayed fri-Monday- that would need at least 4 pods. One tiny tiny tiny dishwashing soap bottle about an inch tall. I though that was really really cheap of them. I had to go by more soap and pods do do the dishes. Microwave had duck tape on it and a few items in house were damaged but that didn’t bother me. Oh and the TV is old and has a crappy picture. I think they need an upgrade on that, downstairs tv. I don’t watch tv but some people really enjoy it. Overall we had a good time. I don’t sweat the small stuff too much.

Quiet, cozy, amazing views! Definitely a home away from home!
Stayed here with my family and kids! Home is spacious and lots of room! Kids like bed the game room! Us adults loved the large living room! We enjoyed the snow surrounding the cabin! Markets and eateries in shaver are a 5 min drive away! Perfect location! Would highly recommend this home!
