Ridgeview Retreat - AC + Location!
Jamie’s place was great! Walkable to the nearby restaurants and shops. Highly recommend the Hungry Hut for their burgers and milkshakes! Jamie’s place fit 12 of us comfortably. Kitchen was filled with everything needed to cook all weekend long. We took the kids mainly for snow fun. There were two Sno-Parks about 20mins away, but the scenery is so beautiful that trip feels shorter! We brought our own sleds for the kids, also highly recommend. There is also China Peak about 30mins away where kids were able to take snowboarding lessons.

Lakeview Cabin 4
My husband and I loved staying here, 1 small room with a bed and a small bathroom. Perfect for the two of us on our little snow trip. So beautiful here especially with the sunrise by the lake. Will definitely stay again!

Blue Jay Cabin - Walk to town/lake, New hot tub!
Our family of five enjoyed the cabin for 5 days. Easy access to the lake every day for activities and we went horseback riding. Cute neighborhood for walking around everyday and getting to town. Felt right in the middle of town so we pretty much ate and drank at every single establishment we could! House was cute and had a grill for cooking lunches, fire pit with wood for hanging around at night. Loved their dishes and fully stocked kitchen. Kids enjoyed having the upstairs to themselves as well! Hot tub was perfect for hanging out in everyday. Couldn’t want for more.

Creekside Cabin *Pup-Friendly with AC*
10 out of 10! This place was amazing, from cleanliness, stuff to do, great views, stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, family friendly living space, it had it all. My family had a great Christmas vacation here and we are already looking at coming back over summer.

Heidi's Apartment - Pet Friendly - Sleeps 3
Perfect home in shaver within walking distance of all restaurants. Will definitely stay again

Fir Cabin at Camp Sierra, near Shaver Lake
We had an amazing time! Rae, Beth and everyone was so accommodating and friendly. Cabin was cozy and clean, camp sierra was a nice place to be during our down time visiting Huntington lake. There’s a waterfall and a waterhole walking distance from the cabins and a fun playground area in the middle of the camp. The small general store had ice cream, knick knacks and games and puzzles you can borrow. It was beautiful and peaceful and was fun visiting with other families staying in the camp. Thank you camp sierra, we will definitely be back again.

The Hideaway- Walk to DT, Hike to the Lake!
I stayed at this beautiful cabin for two nights to celebrate my fathers birthday with my family. I fully enjoyed this space and the surrounding locations. This cozy cabin provided great views and amenities. It is two bedrooms and one bathroom so keep that in mind when booking for any larger parties. Host was great, cabin was very clean and comfortable. The store was a small walk away with restaurants and bars near by as well as a 7 minute drive to Shaver lake. I will definitely be back!

Leopard Lilly Lodge ~ 2 Master Suites + AC*
My family and I enjoyed our stay very much. the cabin was perfect, it had an open concept that allowed us all to be in the mix together. The two master bedrooms were separate from the game room and other bedrooms that allowed us parents to have some quiet while our teenagers stayed up late. Jamie was very detailed about the ends and outs of the cabin in her messages and also provide a binder with that information as well. Jamie added a few nice touches by giving us suggestion on things to do and how to navigate the town. We have been vacationing in shaver for 16 years and we've stayed in many different cabins. This cabin is at the top of our list to book again.
Your guide to Dinkey Creek
All About Dinkey Creek
Ninety minutes northeast of Fresno, in California’s southern Sierra Nevada range, Dinkey Creek is an unincorporated community located on a stream with the same name. The creek flows for nearly 30 miles through the Sierra National Forest and is said to have gotten its name from a dog who once fatally battled a grizzly bear. It goes without saying that nature looms large in this neck of the woods. Soaring sequoias, cascading waterfalls, lush Ponderosa pine, cedar forests, and scenic hiking trails are all on the menu here. Anglers have a field day fishing the creek’s rainbow-trout-filled waters.
The Dinkey Creek Recreation Area, which runs along Dinkey Creek, features the Dinkey Historical Bridge. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it was one of the first wooden bridges in the country to use steel to give it the strength needed to handle heavy loads. Sprinkled throughout the dense forest landscape are plenty of scenic picnic areas for a bite break. Dinkey Creek is also blessed by its proximity to some of California’s biggest and best national parks, including Yosemite National Park and Kings Canyon National Park, both roughly two hours away in opposite directions.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Dinkey Creek
The warm spring and summer months provide pleasant weather for enjoying outdoor recreation in Dinkey Creek. The fishing season spans the end of April through mid-November, and you’ll need to possess a valid California state fishing license if you plan on catching some freshwater game. Many of the community’s hiking trails pass by waterfalls, which are best seen in the spring and summer after the winter snow melts. In the fall, Dinkey Creek’s lush flora and the Sierra National Forest are dazzling in vibrant reds, yellows, and oranges.
Top things to do in Dinkey Creek
McKinley Grove
McKinley Grove, near Shaver Lake, is a natural gem featuring a short loop trail that leads to an isolated patch of around 20 centuries-old soaring Sequoias. Nearby, you’ll find a picnic area where you can enjoy lunch or a snack near the magnificent grove of trees. You may even spot the deer, chipmunks, and squirrels that roam through the area.
Rancheria Falls Trail
Rancheria Falls Trail is a four-mile round-trip hike 20 miles past Shaver Lake. The trail leads to Rancheria Falls — a 150-foot waterfall gushing over granite cliffs. The falls are an especially spectacular sight in the spring and summer months after melted winter snow feeds the waters. Much of the well-maintained trail is lined by towering red and white fir trees. And at certain points, the serene waters of Lake Vernon are visible through the thickets.
Dinkey Creek Bridge
The historic 1936 Dinkey Creek Bridge stretches above its namesake creek. Its whimsical design, which features a bowstring arch made of redwood, complements the surrounding natural landscape, especially the towering pine trees in the background.
