Our Stay in Pollack Pines

This was an excellent choice for a VRBO. Many members (younger) of our family were camping at Sly Park. The "older" relatives really enjoy being with them, however, want a home and cozy bed at night-- worked out perfect. GREAT LOCATION/ CLEAN HOME/ WELL SUPPLIED in lovely KITCHEN -- can't wait to return

Sister’s get away

This place was perfect for us. We had two dogs with us so it was nice to have the fenced in yard. We spent time in the yard and on the deck. The place was clean and cozy. The only downside is the traffic noise but we knew about that from prior reviews and it didn’t really bother us too much.

Apple Chalet is a gift that keeps on giving. We were instantly impressed with the cozy feel of the chalet. The gas fire feature provided a warm glow, and we found all the comforts of home, even for our boxer, Keeva. It was clear the house was put together with furry friends in mind, the kinds of things non-dog owners might never think of. Keeva loved having the run-of-the-roost, and we were grateful for the fences to contain her. Attention to detail and cleanliness was incredible. There was everything you needed and more with instruction labels everywhere. Thank you for a wonderful experience. We will be back!

Perfect snow getaway

Apple Chalet is a bright, elegant, well appointed cabin that had everything we needed to enjoy a cozy stay during the recent snow storms, handyman to shovel the driveway included! It is far enough off the freeway to offer a respite in the Sierras while still being close enough to anything you might need.The fenced in yard for our small dog to roam was much appreciate as well. We would easily visit again!

Clean and nice house near the Sly lake

Loved the property. Only thing that prevented five star is noise from the Sly Park Road. It gets quite noisy when bikes and trucks pass by. The property is located right next to the road.

Wonderful little cabin

Apple's Chalet was a wonder place for us to stay for my wife's birthday. She wanted snow and she got it! We absolutely loved the charm, and really appreciated that everything was labeled. Lots of blankets for cold weather and all the floors heated up nicely. Plenty of room for the kids and adults to spread out. We asked for an extra day because of the snow and they even snow plowed the driveway so we could get out once it's stopped snowing. We want to come back in the spring or summer!

Cozy escape

This cabin was a nice escape from the heat of the valley summer. Our host, Erin was communicating with us prior to our check in and was quite friendly via text. Check in process was a breeze. Overall, it was a very nice stay. the home had everything we needed and more. Our 3 year old daughter loved the game room and the playground. We were hoping there would be a trail to walk on directly from the house but you need to drive to the start of any trail. The drive was not far at all but it was a hassle with 2 children under 3. It was right next to the main road so it can get noisy at night with the windows opened.

Pine Perfection!

We enjoyed a week at the Apple Chalet and enjoyed exploring the surrounding area! Located in Pollock Pines, the area offered a beautiful lake for recreation, and an easy drive to Tahoe or Sacramento for more adventures. The home was well stocked with anything you would need and lovely decor! We enjoyed the deck off the living area and the safe, fenced in yard for our pup. My kids spent most of their time either swinging on the swing set, or hanging out in the game room! There are steep stairs to get up to the queen beds, and downstairs to the game room; however, the fenced yard has gate accessibility from the outside walkway as well. On our cool morning walks through the neighborhood we saw deer almost every day! Don’t forget to grab a burger at the Burger Barn in town, or drive down the road for gelato at Shorty’s in Placerville!

Very clean sweet house

Cute cabin home. Very clean which I appreciate. Good communication from the host. Nice outdoor area great for dogs. Unfortunately no fire pit (not even a gas one) although I thought the photos showed one. wish they had a hot tube outside (: There’s a great tube inside for relaxing though. Honestly was not a fan of the reservoir, very busy and not the cleanest water. But that’s not related to the house just the general area. It is right on the corner of a pretty busy road. because it’s on a hill, when you sit outside you sometimes can’t hear what the other person is saying because the vehicles are so loud. Bring gear plugs for sleeping if you’re sensitive. Nice for a family for sure, not ideal for two couples because the upstairs doesn’t have a door and the living room doesn’t have a nice big couch . Over all had a wonderful stay and enjoyed dinners and breakfast on the patio.

So cute and so clean!

What a cute house! My family of three loved our time here and will definitely be back! The house is exactly as pictured, but even more charming in person. And SO clean! Definitely as clean as any five star hotel, which we are trying to get away from in favor of more space, quiet, and privacy. I even went under a bed to access an extension cord and it was immaculate underneath - not a dust bunny in sight. It’s also so organized with labels everywhere so you know exactly what’s what. We had hoped for snow during our trip but missed it by a few days and the owner recommended a place to find some nearby which saved us a trip to a traditional crowded snow park. We also found the area cute with enough to do for a long weekend with great food nearby. It’s also quiet despite being on the corner of a main road, and we’re fairly sensitive to noise. I’d love to find a more powerful heater in the downstairs game room as it was pretty chilly in winter, but my 12 year old son played down there fully content regardless (all the other spaces have great heaters). There are also two spiral staircases in the home to be aware of if that’s of concern, but the master bedroom is on the main floor with a wonderful clawfoot tub. All three beds were extremely comfortable as well, which is truly appreciated. 5 stars all around and we’re looking forward to more time here in the future!

We booked this place because it was pet friendly and we have kids. The property has a nice fenced yard and small play structure in the back for the kids to play on. Inside the house was very well stocked with everyday things and had multiple chargers for electronics. We really loved how this felt liked an actual home. Definitely look forward to returning

Apple's Chalet is gorgeous and welcoming

This cabin was absolutely amazing! It was so beautifully decorated it was fun to just sit by the fire and look around and get ideas. Beyond that the owner seemed to think of every possible detail. There was everything you could possibly need here from coffee, to chargers for all your devices to perfect linens in every room. The Wifi was strong and given that my husband and I both had to work, it just made everything that much easier. I would highly recommend this cabin to couples who need to recharge themselves, as well as to busy families. Plenty of room with a rec room for the kids, and lovely outdoor areas as well. Fabulous retreat! Thank you so much for being such thoughtful hosts.
