Shaver Lake Vacation Rentals, CA
I spent two days at this cabin in March of 2011. I can say that without doubt, it was the worst vacation I have ever had in my life. Nothing was working like it should have. The heater was not working properly so it was very cold. Sleep was impossible because of the extreme cold. [...]
