Winter Travel Policy

At Shaver Lake, we love winter weather, but mountain conditions can impact travel. Please review our winter access terms:

  • Official Road Closures: If roads leading to the property are officially closed by local authorities due to severe winter weather, we offer a full refund or free rescheduling.
  • Chain Controls: If chains or traction devices are required but roads remain open, the reservation remains non-refundable.
  • Guests are responsible for carrying tire chains and monitoring mountain weather and Caltrans road conditions prior to travel.
