Family-friendly holiday rentals in Shaver Lake

Good location, good house. The outside area is a bit overgrown and it's difficult to get to the swing and slide. Bummer that there is no washer and dryer. I was able to charge my car. It was very quiet at night and close to the shops and restaurants

Our family didn’t want to leave! The river/waterfall outside is gorgeous, and gives such a peaceful sound that can be heard up at the house. We brought out 4 kids and they loved the playground, waterfall, private bedrooms, and board games. Beautiful kitchen as well!

Awesome place, place matched to every detail in the listing. If you are looking for a quite getaway after all day hiking in yosemite, this is your place to chill.

We were fortunate to find Cabernet's house at the last min while looking for a place to ring in 2025. Nestled at the top of the perimeter of the Yosemite valley in Oakhurst, the house is a rare find. The weather was beautiful, we got to breath refreshing fresh air and got to enjoy all the amenities at the place. Things we enjoyed. <> Wood burning indoor fireplace. The house was nice and toasty. Perfect for end of Dec/Jan temperatures. <> Large fenced yard for our fur babies. I must say this was the highlight of the trip as it's not easy to find properties that have a completely fenced backyard. Our two husky girls sure enjoyed running around a clean grassy hard. Thank you or WOOF WOOF ! <> Beautiful furniture, clean carpets, well stocked kitchens with a lots of pots and pans to cook. <> Cabernet is super responsive. Very happy about this since a host that communicates well makes the entire experience special ! Thanks Cabernet. Looking forward to visiting again !

Stayed for a couple of nights with my parents. Had a lovely stay. The house was clean and had all resources. Enjoyed the surroundings, beautiful for walks.

Great spot for visiting Yosemite. Good accommodation for a bigger group, 3 bathrooms was very nice, good dining area for whole group. Easy access to park.

Overall very comfortable stay and great view. Relatively close drive to Yosemite as well

Overall great stay in a wonderful home. Spacious with enough beds and bathrooms… did not feel lacking in space even for our big group. Kitchen is well stocked. We made good use of the fire pit, grill, hot tub, and the games in the garage. Stacy was responsive and tried to make things right even when we had a couple of issues. (The dishwasher pods were missing. Dishwasher wasn’t working too but was fixed next day.) We had a fun vacation and left with many wonderful memories!

We enjoyed our stay. Quiet, peaceful. Beautiful view from the patio overlooking the Lake. Would definitely return in the future. The family would all go there own ways during the day hiking and sight seeing then return and gather on the patio deck over looking the lake, very nice!

Terri reached out and made sure we made it safely. The home was very relaxing and peaceful with the hot tub, hammock and surrounded by trees. The pickleball court, tether ball, air hockey and table soccer were nice additives for entertainment. We booked this place to relax after our planned trip to Yosemite, the hot tub helped a ton with recovering our sore muscles from the intense hike. There is a binder with instructions for check out and any extra info we might need, I loved the fact that there is restaurant recommendations and even an itinerary for Yosemite in that binder for anybody that stays there and doesn’t know what’s around. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it to others! I appreciate the extra detail in recommendations and messages making sure we are safe and comfortable during our stay!

House was perfect! location was great exactly what we wanted on a mountain get away. House was clean everything we needed was available. Accommodations were great beds were comfortable.

The location is in a quiet rural neighborhood near a creek. The grounds are woodsy with lots of lovely plants and a hummingbird feeder outside the kitchen window. Upon arrival we found fresh baked cookies and fresh cut little flower bouquets. Walking down by the creek scratched our itch for our love of the mountain creeks near our favorite camping area. Inside is a cozy mix of Victorian cottage and modern amenities. It’s close to town for shopping and dining options. Yosemite National Park is an easy 1-1/2 hours away. Kadi is a great host!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It was perfect for our group of seven. Everthing was clean and organized. Although we only stayed a few days, we enjoyed the firepit and bbq and the beautiful rustic wooded environment. We also appreciated that the south entance of Yosemite Nat'l Park is only about 30 minutes away. You can tell that our host Heather really cares about her guests having a great stay. Also, after learning that we had left a cell phone in a bedroom Heather got the phone quickly sent back to us. We were so grateful!

Beautiful property! Amy and Josh were very responsive. The airbnb was well stocked as well. We had some Difficulty with heating the house but it was better on the second day.

Stephanie was an excellent host. Met us at check in to go over home and we greatly appreciated. She even left a little gift for us and our doggie Wrangler. We felt right at home. Highly recommend. Home was clean and as described.

Phil and Lisa's place is such a gem. The best part about the property was the outdoor space. We enjoyed having breakfast on the patio and walking through the gardens in the morning. We had everything we needed and Lisa and Phil were extremely friendly and very responsive. They gave us great recommendations on things to do in the area and were quick to respond anytime we needed something. It was the perfect place to stay for our group of four exploring Yosemite and Sequoia. Highly recommend!

Beth was a great host and met us on arrival, her home was a home from Home and the big sofa and large tv was a great way to relax as a family after a long day in the Yosemite valley. Teenagers loved the tub and we also played some ping pong

It was a wonderful experience! This was one of the cleanest places I’ve ever stayed in through Airbnb. The host prepared so many thoughtful amenities, and there were so many heartwarming touches throughout the trip. Especially, the homemade cookies were amazing ! so delicious and full of love! I truly appreciated the care and attention to detail. it made the stay even more special!

We stayed here to avoid a long commute to the children’s hospital. It was just 10 minutes away, and the area was peaceful and beautiful. The property was excellent for my children (6 & 8) and they took full advantage of the pool, swingset, and toys in the yard. Additionally, the casita was neat and had everything we needed. The cold AC was welcome on a hot day. Chuck was clear, responsive, and made us feel right at home. Should we have additional visits, we will definitely be returning!

Loved staying at this house! Christina was very responsive and we felt like we were at home. Definitely made our trip to Yosemite even better!

We had a magical stay at this cozy cabin! The cabin was spotless and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable and relaxing vacation. The views a night from the deck were breathtaking!! The location was also perfect! The host was also very helpful and responsive. Making our stay seamless! We can’t wait to come back!!

The house is as described and as in the photos. Check-in was very easy, as was check-out. The house is very nice and comfortable, with everything you need for an excellent stay (we even grilled on the BBQ). A special mention for Christine, who was very kind and very attentive!

I’ve stayed at numerous hotels/airbnbs since my first solo trip to Yosemite 6 years ago, & Sierra Meadows is now my go-to after I booked my first stay. Easy, thorough & flexible check-in process, amazing/responsive staff, & has accommodations for any type of travel plans— whether it’s a solo-, couples, or friends/family trip. The site is such a win for so many reasons- they have their own store for essentials/food+drink & if that doesn’t work out, the grocery stores/restaurants are just 5 minutes down the main road for whatever else you need for your trip— **the selling point for me is that the entrance to Yosemite from this site is the iconic Tunnel View, it’s the most convenient, no-brainer site to book ever!!

If you like being far away from people, having a pool, hot tub, spacious house, and picture perfect night skies this is the place!! Yosemite was a little under an hour away and not very much traffic. Hung out a full day in between days at Yosemite for a break with kids and grandkids and it was just perfect. Tchukon and Carolyn answered all my questions promptly and even gave me recommendations for food in Oakhurst. Smithers road would have been nicer paved but it wasn’t that bad. We wanted to cook/ eat most of our meals there at the cabin so We shopped in Fresno the morning of our first stay and we purchased a cooler to keep fridge items cooler for the 1.5 hour drive. The master suite was very spacious and separated from all other bedrooms so that was nice. It was a little more than I wanted to spend but overall it was a fantastic time for all of my family.
