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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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!

Forest Get-away

This place is so clean and inviting. It is very stylish while still being welcoming. We travel with our dog, so we appreciated the fenced portion of the yard and the gated deck. I had to try out the bathtub. It was a highlight for me. Plenty of hot water and a tray to hold my book. The kitchen is well stocked, all the appliances work well. Air conditioning and fans were quiet. I liked having the charging cables available so I didn't have to dig mine out. My son loved the guitars. The smaller one was tuned to open G and it was fun to try to play. We all enjoyed the outdoor seating on the balcony and the chairs down in the back yard. It is just a beautiful spot surrounded by trees. The only thing that was unfortunate is there is a road right behind the house that gets lots of traffic. It seemed like every Harley rider and diesel engine truck in the county had to parade past. It made it hard to fully enjoy the outdoors as much as we wanted. Fortunately, during the evening it is quiet so we slept fine. Overall, It was truly everything we needed and we are thankful we got to stay.
