Sierra Thanksgiving!

I wonder if anyone cares to weigh in with suggestions-
several beloved friends (6-10 adults w/ 4-6 kids)
dream of an 11th hour fantasy vacation-
we want to rent a decent cabin with a workable kitchen
on the west slope over Thanksgiving weekend (11/23-11/25).
Preferrably somewhere between Yosemite & Kings Canyon,
distance from neighbors & relative proximity to trails is a definite plus.
Ideal elevation would be 4,000-7,000 feet
Ideal price < $350 / night (Rustic is cool).
Are we pipe-dreaming?
Yosemite seems virtually hopeless,
but we're flexible & would greatly appreciate
wisdom or guidance from someone in the know!
If you'd prefer to keep your secret Shangri-La off the forum,
feel free to email me directly: ventana@surfnetusa.com
I never forget a favor.
Happy trails!

Have never stayed here or know if they can fit you in, but the location sounds about what you are looking for.

Shaver Lake?

A great tip, thank you!
Looks like a very nice spot,
but unfortunately they only have 1 (small) cabin left.
Anyone have recomendations in / near Shaver Lake?
Weather permitting,
could be a fine staging area for hiking & hot-springing.
Only problem I see is that some of the cabins
seem to be in crowded subdivisions.
Is semi-remoteness possible?
