Getting around Shaver Lake is simple and convenient from our centrally located condo in the gated Bretz Mill community.

Parking: Guests have parking near the unit inside the secure gated community.

Guests should expect to drive to explore Shaver Lake, nearby trailheads, and local restaurants. Roads are well-maintained, and the condo is just a quick drive to town and the lake.

Winter Travel: During snowy months, 4WD/AWD or chains may be required. Mountain roads can become icy, and CalTrans often mandates traction devices—plan ahead for winter conditions. The community HOA services the roads/parking in the community.

Guests must arrive during check-in hours because you will need to be buzzed in at the gated entrance.
If you expect to arrive later than the designated hours, please contact us in advance so we can confirm that someone will be available to grant access.

After that, you’ll be provided with a Key Card that allows you to freely enter and exit the community and access the pool and spa.
Please note:
This Key Card must be returned at checkout.
A $250 replacement fee will be charged for any lost or unreturned Key Card.

Self Check In: Your personalized door code activates at check in time. If you try to check in before, it will not work.

Thank you for helping us maintain smooth access for all guests! Let us know if you plan to arrive outside regular check-in hours so we can ensure someone is available to assist.
