The cabin was extremely cozy and had everything we needed. We loved the location nestled amongst the trees and the deer visitors, the beds are comfy and the kitchen well stocked. Shannon was a great host who explained everything we needed to know and gave lots of recommendations for local places to visit.

This cabin was perfect for my daughter and I, and our 3 dogs. The yard is fully fenced, no escape holes, and it’s so big for them to play and explore. The patios are amazing! We bbq’d, roasted marshmallows at the fire pit, just hung out looking at the stars, drove down to the lake, which is less than 5 mins. The home is clean, check in and out was simple, and Shannon was easy to contact when needed and provided plenty of details for everything. We will absolutely be back!

Host is communicative and helpful. The cabin is well-stocked, adorably decorated, cozy and comfortable. We had fresh baked pumpkin bread waiting for us when we arrived. The yard was perfect for our small dog to run around and the neighborhood is peaceful and calm. Perfect getaway if you are looking for a relaxing mountain vacation.

Wonderful cabin!

We took our little family here to celebrate my husband’s birthday! It was the perfect location, close to Apple Hill activities and nearby Placerville to explore. The owner was so lovely to work with. We definitely would stay here again. Note to those with really young kids - it is child friendly but certainly not baby-proofed. Might be better for families with slightly older children.

Weekend in Pollock Pines

We had a family weekend in Pollock Pines. We enjoyed our stay. Very good level of communication and attentive to our needs. Aside from that the one thing that stood out was the house had all the supplies we needed on hand. We were met with some goodies when we first arrived, which was a nice touch.

Great host and cozy cabin!

We had a great time at the Little Green Cabin. Shannon goes to great length to ensure her guests feel welcome and have a delightful stay. She provided detailed information about her vacation rental prior to our trip and surprised us with tasty treats upon arrival. Shannon was very accommodating when we made some requests before, during, and at the end of our stay. She also immediately contacted us when the power went out due to a winter storm. The cabin is clean and nicely decorated including holiday decor, which made it feel homey and cozy. It is well-stocked and has all the pots and pans as well as spices and condiments needed to prepare meals. Everything is in good working order and well maintained. On one of the days during our stay we were stuck inside due to weather and it was nice to veg out on the couch and binge watch TV. The cabin is located in a quiet neighborhood nestled among pine trees. It’s close to Jenkinson Lake and the Mormon Emigrant Trail with some nice options for walking. You’ll see damage from the Caldor fire in the area, but not in the immediate neighborhood. And there are plenty of spots that have not been affected. For example, the area around Ice House Reservoir north of the 50 is nice. If you are coming in the winter months and have only a 2wd car, bring chains. We hit some slush upon arrival and had to put on chains to make it up Rainbow Trail, which leads to the cabin.
