My Side of the Mountain ~ Rest. Recharge. Repeat.

My Side of the Mountain is named after my favorite childhood book by Jean Craighead George. It is such a great book filled with adventure, mountains, creativity, courage and independence along with sharing with us the beauty of nature. The cabin is located in the very popular, Ockenden Ranch. A prime location, just a mile to stores, restaurants, and short distance to the lake. Shaver Lake is the perfect place to vacation. The climate is ideal with cool summers and mild winters.

I am available via the app, phone or email during your stay.



This is the perfect place for your family or a small group of friends. Enjoy close proximity to Shaver Lake's amenities. Keep your eyes peeled for a deer passing by. Sit on the deck as you gaze at the stars in the crisp mountain air. You will find yourself relaxing and enjoying the beautiful surroundings while spending quality time with family and friends. During vacations, I love to recharge, read a book, experience nature, enjoy good food, eat lots of ice-cream, explore, hike and have deep conversations under the stars.

We are located less than 2 miles from the restaurants of Shaver Lake and just 3.5 miles from the marina. Whether summer, fall, winter, or spring is your favorite time of year, there is always something to do in Shaver.





My Side of the Mountain is a relaxing mountain getaway on a beautiful lot. The cabin is a tri-level 3-bedroom, 3 baths with plenty of space to stretch. A fully equipped kitchen provides a user-friendly space to cook a meal. A washer and dryer in the cabin are perfect for sandy beach towels in the summer and for damp ski clothes in winter. The cabin has Wi-Fi and 2 flat screens that allows you to get cozy with a good movie next to the fireplace! Both TVs are equipped with a ROKU so you can connect to Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime or other (not equipped with cable TV). The cabin boasts a large deck with table and chairs in the summertime, where you can enjoy a good cup of hot chocolate or coffee in the early mornings. The deck also has a new propane BBQ so that you can enjoy the night stars and amazing summer weather while you BBQ.

The cabin is for families and friend getaways only, no parties. We are the owners, not a rental agency. We have neighbors who live next to our cabin year round and we want to respect that.



Ockenden Ranch is 5 minutes from Shaver. Our cabin is minutes away from the entrance to Ockenden. The driveway is somewhat steep, and, in the wintertime, you will want to make sure you have chains. I do have someone plow the driveway, so, if you need help, please let me know.
