The Great Escape - Chef's Kitchen - AC*

Shaver Lake is the perfect place to vacation. The climate is ideal with cool summers and mild winters. The list of activities is long and includes, hiking, fishing, skiing, sledding, boating, snowmobiling, horseback riding, and more! The Great Escape was given it's name just after surviving the Creek Fire in 2021. Built by the owners, who can't wait to share this great place with lots of room

Lovely 3 bedroom, 2 bathrooms, with a large chef's kitchen, dining area, and living room. You will love the outdoor space. Covered patio, ping-pong, hot tub, bbq, flat grill, all nestled in a quiet cul de sac in the mountains of Shaver Lake. Modern amenities in the woods, truly a Great Escape!!

The Great Escape is outfitted to suit the needs of a modern vacationer. Beautiful hardwood flooring throughout! A fully equipped chef's kitchen provides a user-friendly space to cook a meal. A washer and dryer in the cabin are perfect for soggy ski clothes. Entertainment options like flat-screen TVs mean you can cozy up with a good movie next to the fireplace!

We have a crockpot, waffle maker, and flat griddle, great for pancakes or crepes! We have a nice covered bbq area with a propane bbq.

This Cabin Has It All
We had a wonderful stay at The Great Escape Cabin and would highly recommend it to anyone! The cabin is located in the ideal location, only 5 minutes from town, 10 minutes to Shaver Lake & Camp Edison, and 30 minutes to both the Mariposa Sequoia Grove and Dinkey Creek. The cabin itself is modern, clean, and full of all the amenities a family could want. Having a large yard with a deck, privacy, and great views was a huge plus for our family since we have young children. We’ve been doing an annual summer cabin stay with our friends for the past 4 years and this was by far the best cabin we’ve stayed in. Thank you for a great stay, we hope to be back next year!!

What a beautiful home!
We loved this home. Beds were comfy & great location with great views! The only complaint that I have is that the house doesn’t have central AC and that was what I was expecting. The master stays cool because of the portable cooler that’s in there but other than that the house was very warm and uncomfortable in the afternoon/evening so therefore I gave it 4 stars. We would go back but not in this heat.

This place is a dream!
What a beautiful house! Plenty of space, cozy and clean, fully equipped, and exactly as pictured. You can tell that the owners love this place and it shows. If you want to feel like a welcome guest at your best friend’s mountain retreat, then look no further! A few minutes drive gets you to the town and all of the fun lake activities. The host replies quickly and has lots of tips. Thanks for the memories. We will definitely be back!

Warm and Inviting
We took our annual before Christmas get together with all our kids and grandkids. This property was by far one of the best places we’ve stayed. The house was well equipped with everything and anything you could need! Everything was comfortable and cleaned. The location is phenomenal and the outdoor area and yard was amazing we spent quite a bit of time out there! The home was decorated for Christmas tree and all which was the icing on the cake!

Such an awesome cabin with great hangout spots, kids loved the hot tub after a cold day at the lake. Fresh flowers and a bottle of wine was a very nice thought, the cabin was very clean inside and out.... so glad to see it was spared in the recent fires. I would highly recommend this spot to any small gathering, very comfortable !!!!
