Close to lake - Dog Friendly Cabin

This rustic dog friendly cabin is walking distance to the lake and has a nice floor plan. The kitchen is roomy and the attached laundry room has an extra counter for storing supplies. Great set up for preparing vacation meals and has a wonderful deck with two tables. The bedrooms are a nice size. Has worked well for our family of 8 (4 Adults, 4 kids).

Spacious, clean, great location

My family and I stayed here for a ski weekend and would stay here again. The house was clean, spacious and in a great location right next to town. It was a cold weekend and we liked that the house was equipped with a fireplace, a wall heater and enough space heaters for each room plus some. Washer and dryer came in handy as well. WiFi was not the greatest, just slow.

Weekend Getaway

There was plenty of space for my 7 guests. With a relaxing view from the back porch. Stores and Shaver Pizza were an easy 5 minute walk from the place which was nice. Kitchen had lots of items for cooking and there was a wide selection of entertainment (board games, puzzles, books, & movies).

Homey Stay at Casita Villareal

Very comfortable weekend for five adults and two dogs. We fixed two dinners and enjoyed playing games after watching MLB on tv while dogs could run inside and out safely. Breakfast was enjoyed under the pine trees out on the deck. We had an amazing hike to Dinky Lakes on Saturday and enjoyed walking at ShVer Lake Sunday.

Great location.

Overall, the house was adequate. Location was close to town and walking distance to the lake. The deck was lovely for outdoor dining and hanging out. The kitchen was well equipped. The beds were quite uncomfortable and the cabin was pretty dingy and dirty. Definitely a rustic cabin. The carpets especially need to be replaced or at least thoroughly cleaned. But overall we had a great trip to shaver lake.
