We enjoyed our stay in cabin #7. I'd describe the cabin, as cozy. Exactly what their website…read morepictures looked like. We loved the awesome view of the lake, and the patio is a perfect place to sit and relax with 2 chairs & a firepit. We were a late check-in and someone called us before we arrived, to give us information on getting into the cabin, parking and general instructions. Friday night was pretty quiet. Saturday night we could hear some good music playing from the restaurant patio. It was loud enough to hear from inside our room, but by no means bothersome. We enjoyed the vibe. By about 9:30ish, we noticed the music had stopped and it was back to silence. Our trip was cut short for personal reasons, but we'll definitely stay here any chance we get.

We just finished a long weekend at this property and we loved it! The staff are very friendly and…read morethe cabins are cute and nice with close proximity to the lake. The beds are very comfortable and the cabins come equipped with some amenities, plenty of towels and blankets and very high quality linens which is unexpected in a cozy cabin. Each cabin has a theme, we were in the Bear Cabin which is cabin 19, and our friends were in the Eagle cabin. All the cabins have lovely lake views and front porches - perfect for watching the time pass while enjoying the incredible view. Ours is not right on the lake but up the hill so you can still see the view from your windows and front porch. Very quiet, serene and peaceful. There is a general store and restaurant on-sight - making it a very convenient place to stay in a pretty quiet area. We ate at the restaurant and thought it was quite good (wrote a separate review of that). I am only giving the property four stars because there were a couple areas that I think could be improved but it was nothing we felt we had to tell the staff. Again, we were very happy with the place. Overall, the cleanliness of the cabin could be improved. Seems like the porch hadn't been hosed down in ages and was full of dust and cobwebs. The floor also didn't seem like it had been cleaned very well. I'll give some leeway here as the area was quite dusty after a dry summer. There was a giant cobweb insight the bathroom window which was a little unsettling. Also to note, the beach area closest to the resort seems to be very popular for locals on Saturdays so it got crowded. Obviously they can't control that, but wanted to mention here for your plans if you stay. You will need to get space early. Overall, would recommend this cute resort with very cozy cabins for a mountain getaway. We didn't get a chance to explore the area - it was very hot so we spent our time at the lake. We'd like to come back in the fall and do more exploring.

Super cute and affordable cabin rental! It looks like it's been put under new ownership after some…read moreof these older reviews were written, so if it were my business I'd contact yelp and have that changed for a fresh start! Overall, they do a great job with the cleanliness! It's hit or miss with "mom and pop" type places, but the floors, bathroom, and bedding were all fresh! A few suggestions as far as the kitchen and appliances go... If it wasn't available for use, I wouldn't have known any better, but since it was there, it's like come on do a better job. Clean the ashes out of the weber. The open box of pancake mix, ew. The random assortment of coffee packs that appear to have been left by other cabin users, with no expiration date, not the best. Also, if you're going to have a salt shaker... make sure it's full. Like I said, if these items weren't available I wouldn't have assumed they should be. But since you guys put them in there, do a better job at keeping it stocked and maybe consider better quality stuff. It doesn't cost much to put foil, tongs, coffee, and a legitimate salt and pepper grinder in the kitchen. If you really wanna step it up, a 20.00 pack of silverware from target instead of the hodgepodge of forks in the drawer would have been killer. That's why I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5. Overall, if that small stuff is the biggest "issue" than this place is still pretty awesome!! Waking up to a few feet of snow in a cute little cabin, popping a bottle for a mimosa, and enjoying the mountain air.. Not bad! Would definitely recommended staying here, and I would for sure rebook. I'd just bring my own kitchen stuff like for camping next time.

The new owners are reshaping and rebuilding these traditional cabins located in downtown Shaver lake. I stayed in one of the nicest well kept cabins that offered a single Queen bed, roomie bathroom with a wonderfully high shower head( I'm 6'2") and a nice kitchenette. Flat screen TV with local cable. One of the nicest and welcomed amenity was the gas fireplace that was crackling when we entered the room. These cabins are located close to all of the local restaurants and bars with easy walking access to the whole village. I will be making future plans to staying with the knotty pines in the future. I was also told to look forward to a new reservation website and friendlier staff. Thanks again Knotty Pines Cabins of Shaver Lake.

This is one of those places where you're torn. You want to write a great review about your…read moreexperiences (I've stayed here 10 times already), but you don't want to battle with having the place booked when you need it because they are well-reviewed. You don't want to write a bad review because the place is quite amazing. So for as long time, I didn't write a review. I feel bad now that the old owners sold the place and they never got my positive review. There is new ownership here, but nothing has really changed. Everything seems to be the same quality. Every time I'm up in Shaver Lake, I opt to bring my crew here and they love it. Quiet, safe, and we always battle over who gets the upstairs Jacuzzi tub room. The new ownership responds to texts and concerns very quickly. Yes, there are other places in Shaver that look equal to this one, or maybe even more updated and very different, but if you're looking for coziness and "hygge"... This is your place.

They said in a email, not a phone call, that they had strong proof of a pet in the cabin. Absolute scam to get more money out of renters, there was never a pet there and how they can say they have strong proof but won't tell us what the proof is. I would not recommend them. After reading the other reviews it seems common practice to charge renters for made up incidental fees.
