My family of seven stayed here for our annual Applehill trip. Everything was just as Kathleen had described, maybe even better.. There was enough room for all of us. The house has a lot of original charm, but didn’t feel old or in need of attention. The updated kitchen was phenomenal and allowed us to cook two great dinners and a hearty breakfast. Everything you could think of was in the house, and if you couldn’t find it if you just searched a little bit more because there were so many places to look for things you would find it. The property was amazing we had visits each night from about 15 to 20 deer. It was pretty magical. We were close enough to Applehill that we got to go out and explore and come back and enjoy the evening without feeling exhausted from traveling. The only thing that we thought would matter to us, but it ended up not mattering to us, it was the fact that there was only one TV in the house and it was in the primary bedroom. But in the end we ended up spending so much time in the kitchen and at the dining room table, playing games that we didn’t miss a family room television at all. My family has already requested that I book Kathleen‘s place for our trip next year.

Family trip

We had a really nice stay in Pollock Pines. The house was clean with plenty of beds. The kitchen was very large and completely stocked for all our needs. We even made muffins for breakfast! I contacted the host to clarify check in details and directions before we left, and we had no problems. Kathleen gave us very detailed directions, and she always answered my messages promptly. We had a great time visiting with family!

We had a fantastic stay over the Fourth of July weekend! The house was even nicer than the photos—clean, spacious, and very well stocked with everything we needed. It was a quick, easy drive from the Bay Area, and the location was perfect for relaxing and exploring. We saw deer right outside, enjoyed kayaking at nearby Jenkinson Lake, and loved using the community pool. Kathleen was friendly and very responsive. This was the perfect weekend getaway spot—we’d definitely stay again!

Fun for a quick winter getaway

Great place, very cozy. We lucked out and got there after a recent snow, so the kids had about 6 inches for sledding and building forts and stuff. I'm sure it would be equally wonderful in the summer. One bit of advice if driving up in the winter is take the Sly Park exit -- Apple Maps directed us a different way and we had a hard time getting up the road, even with chains on.

Cozy and spacious cabin

We had an amazing stay at Kathleen and Simon's chalet! The house is easy to get to and avoided some of the Tahoe traffic, but was close enough for day trips up to the snow. The kitchen was fully stocked and made cooking for our families easy and convenient. The house was a great size and very open yet provided separate areas for different activities so you didn't feel like you were right on top of each other the entire time. A huge property and large wrap around deck were also a nice plus! The beds were also very comfortable and the place was very clean. We look forward to coming back and staying again, it is a great location for anytime of the year. Providing easy access to snow and a big lake is close by for summertime activities and hiking as well. And it took less than 3 hours to get to from SF! The wifi was pretty spotty and there was not a central tv, which was also a perk for our group since we are avid campers and like to disconnect. The house was fully stocked, but remember to bring your own toiletries ;-). I would absolutely recommend this place to stay and look forward to coming back and sharing more memories here again!

Best family Thanksgiving ever!

We had an amazing time at Kathleen and Simon's home! It was the perfect location for a snow-filled Thanksgiving--sleds were available for us to use and we sure did use them to the max, as the home's front, side, and back yards were the perfect sledding venue; we've never had more fun just playing in the snow (kids and adults both). And despite the PG&E power outage we arrived to on our first day, the entire house was kept warm and inviting by the amazing wood fireplace/oven that was the center of the great room and my family was able to gather around, enjoy each other's company and spend a very nice Thanksgiving together. Once the power outage was over, we were able to see and enjoy all that the house was to offer, which was plenty. It was the perfect size for our family of 10 and it had everything we needed for a truly wonderful family Thanksgiving. Thank you Kathleen and Simon for sharing your wonderful home with us!

Lovely Family Gathering Spot

What a lovely home! It is a little older but has some seriously awesome charm. I saw another reviewer commented that the house was not clean.Not my experience, I was actually surprised how spotless the house was. I didn't even see any dust! The deck is in need of a bit of repair, but we just told the kiddos to not lean on the railing and all was good. I would highly recommend this property to anyone with a big group there is plenty of space to roam and the two community pools are lovely and just a quick drive.

Great Layout and Location

The location couldn't have been better for us as we were spending Thanksgiving with family in the same neighborhood. The layout of the home was great. Very spacious and open. The kitchen was well stocked too. The three instead of five stars is due to the cleanliness of the house. It was filthy. While the sheets appeared clean with a surface clean of the bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms, the dust, dirt and cobwebs were a bit much. Puffs of dust/dirt literally clouded up when you sat on the couches or tapped the arms of the furniture. The bathroom drawers were full of half used toiletries of previous renters. With a deep clean with routine cleanings between renters, this will be a five star rental!

Cozy secluded and peaceful

We only had a short weekend to enjoy the space, but it was so relaxing and we would definitely rent this house again. The deck is amazing, and it was so lovely to sit out at night and enjoy the silence. The owners have put a lot of work and time into giving you all the information you need to arrive there safely and explore the area. Great communicators, great space, well stocked with everything we needed and a perfect weekend ! Thank you!!!!
