Shaver is a beautiful lake that has a neat little town. There’s places to do some shopping, restaurants, and water activities. You can go rent a boat or some jet skis for the day. This is one of my favorite places to go relax and enjoy the smells of the pines. It’s about a 1 hour 15 minute drive from the suite.

It’s about 1.5 hour drive from our suite. It’s a National Treasure. If you plan on going on a weekend it best to be INSIDE the park before 8am. Any later and you could wait for entry for several hours. Parking is difficult during peak season. Plan to park in a central area and leave your car. Biking around the park from your vehicle is ideal during peak season.

Great Teppanyaki! Get the hot and spicy sauce.... it’s not that spicy. Fresno has the best Teppanyaki places in the nation. Or so I’m told! I kinda believe it though because outside of Fresno I’ve always been disappointed. There’s quite a few places but this is the closest!
