About this property

The Knotty Sparrow~Large Deck~Prime Location

The Knotty Sparrow is hidden in the very popular East Village of Shaver Lake. A prime location, walking distance to stores, restaurants, and just 1/4 mile to the lake. 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! For more pictures & our Shaver Lake tips, check out The Cabin Host on IG & FB @thecabinhost!

When you rent our cabin, you will have the entire cabin during your stay.
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 east village is the closest you can get to the lake as for cabin rentals!

The Knotty Sparrow is outfitted to suit the needs of a modern vacationer. Beautiful knotty pine throughout! A fully equipped 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! 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).

Enjoy a complimentary bottle of wine upon your arrival!

Come make some memories with your family. Enjoy the large private deck with propane BBQ, two fire pits, hammock, Smart TV's foosball, and board games.

Perfect Cabin for us

Nice cabin, very comfortable and had everything we needed. It is close to the road so you do hear cars/trucks, but it was fine if you close your window at night. Nicely furnished and they supplied board games for us to play.

Amazing

I think my title says it all. This place was truly everything you could want in a home away from home. Had everything you needed and more for entertainment very cozy feeling also which was amazing considering the storm that came through. Jamie was incredible and I can't thank her enough and everyone else for the hospitality they showed. I'm definitely planning on coming back and spending more time during the winter year. Highly recommend!

Amazing stay

I can’t say enough good stuff about our stay at this cabin. It wasn’t far from the lake/snow area and in a quiet area which is nice for a family. Great area to play in the snow in the front. The inside was extremely clean and decorated so nice. Everything you need is there so it makes it easier to cook the food you take. We are already planning our next stay at this location. You definitely won’t regret staying here.
