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.

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!

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!

6/10 Okay

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!

2/10 Terrible

Great from the outside-but we never saw the inside

Poor communication of access details left us unable to get in."Ah well, one of those things, we'll sort it out when we finally get hold of the owner". But no, for the first time in nearly a decade of using HomeAway we find ourselves placing a negative review as the only comeback we have. This was a late booking for 3 nights which was paid upfront. The owner confirmed by email & promised to be in contact with access details prior to arrival. With nothing received we prompted her just before we left but got only a contact number. By chance we also downloaded the new HomeAway app to "find & book your next holiday". It seems this was our downfall! The whole process instantly becomes automated to the app, not that anyone told us! With no further contact & limited connectivity abroad, we got ourselves to the property using the address. Numerous phone calls, voice messages, email, knocking on neighbours got us nowhere...no worries, we had the app! Using the house wifi from the doorstep we searched but still no success. After 2hrs & the sun going down we gave in. 2 days later the owner finally returned our calls. Apparently the crucial app did indeed have the info we needed! How did we miss it? Maybe poor set up with critical info illogically filed? There were many links & we opened most...the welcome, the check in...in fact all that might be vaguely relevant. But strangely enough we didn't open "need driving directions?"...after all, we were already there! Naively we thought we'd be able to come to some agreement with the owner & that would be that...the information was badly filed/we were not told where it was/we had not found it. But no, we have lost the tax, service charge & rental fee (she did return the cleaning fee & security deposit). We had to find alternative accommodation & wasted fuel & food bought for our stay. So we are left feeling cheated whilst the owner profits, keeping the full rental fee & losing nothing. Could we have done more that day? Possibly...but should we have had to? She may argue we blocked another potential booking, but this we doubt as we only booked 2.5wks earlier. So, fellow traveler, you may choose to book this property based on other reviews. Will she stand by her belief that the fault lies with us alone & leave the app just as it is? Or will she add the access code to a more relevant link or improve her notification of this vital info in other ways? We will watch future reviews with interest...do let us know!!

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!
