About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A Mountain Rose, Sly Park-LAKE, APPLE HILL, Wine, swim, snow, FUN! EVs welcome

A Mountain Rose is a cozy, two bedroom home in the magnificent pines and cedars of Pollock Pines in the Sierra Mountains. The trees are bountiful, and their smells are relaxing and refreshing! We do allow up to 2 well-behaved pets with prior approval & extra pet fees.

We abide by El Dorado County's Vacation Home Rental laws. VHR PERMIT #07282. All guests are required to provide current addresses and phone numbers to be kept on file per the county.

4 guests, BUT if you have children under 6 yrs, they don't count in the guest total.

You may charge your Electrical Vehicle with prior approval. We charge $30. (240 volt 50amp, 14-50 outlet)

Our home is located two miles from Hwy 50 and about 50 miles from both Sacramento and South Lake Tahoe. Just a quick drive to the famous Apple Hill area or Placerville.

Our little house in the woods is a great place for a romantic getaway, families, or friends. It is decorated in a fashion to make everyone's stay feel extra special. It's not like a musty old cabin in the woods. Our hardwood floors help to make our home even more charming. We have complimentary WIFI for those who just can't leave technology at home. We consider long-term rentals. Please come and enjoy the relaxation and smells of the pines after a day of adventure and fun!

Our well-stocked kitchen is a delight to prepare meals for family and friends. You may enjoy eating at our breakfast bar or at our dining room table that may be extended for larger groups. Maybe you would enjoy BBQing and eating outside instead? There are tables both in the front and backyards. It is so relaxing to eat and chat outside.

We have a wonderful cozy fireplace to warm you up, or you may want to venture outside and enjoy our fire pit and gaze into the night sky to check out the stars. You may want to roast marshmallows and make delicious s'mores! A Mountain Rose is like camping in luxury!

At A Mountain Rose, we have many activities for the family, including an array of board games, croquet, air hockey, and even a ping-pong table. We have a smart TV and offer many DVDs for your enjoyment. Just a short walk away, there is a great playground & disc golf course. There is something to keep everyone busy!

Nearby is the very popular Sly Park Recreation Area with the beautiful Jenkinson Lake. It has 645 acres of surface water and great fishing opportunities. The lake has a boat launch and a boat rental facility. (Kayaks, canoes, pedal boats, and row boats) Of course, if you want to bring your own boat, we have plenty of parking. Swimming and water skiing are allowed, but personal water crafts are not. In the winter, you may go snow shoeing, sledding, or just play in the snow. It's just a spectacular setting for many outdoor activities!

For the Apple Hill (Camino) lovers, we are less than ten miles from this special area! In April, there is the Apple Blossom Festival. In the summer, there is the cherry and berry harvest. In the fall months, the traditional harvest season is in full swing. You can enjoy the cornucopia of fruits, ciders, vegetables, wines, baked goods, and homemade preserves. Of course, in winter, you can start your own family traditions as you cut down your own Christmas tree and enjoy the magic in the air! Oh, I forgot, you may want to visit a local winery and bring some back to enjoy!

Do you love snow skiing? Then, you'll be glad to hear that we're about 35 miles from Sierra at Tahoe or about 50 miles from Heavenly Mountain Resort.

We are about 15 miles from the charming historical 'Gold Rush' town of Placerville. It is a peaceful blend of old and new that offers something for everyone. There is a lot to do, and you can easily spend the day exploring the area.

If you're into gambling, then Red Hawk Casino is about 20 miles away. They have slot machines, gambling tables, restaurants, and entertainment.

There is so much to do! Of course, you can just sit on the front deck, relax, and enjoy a book and your favorite beverage!!!!

That's a perfect place to stay, both for adults only as well as families with small kids. Clean, with a well equipped kitchen, and enough space in one of the bedrooms from put a portable crib if needed. The property is all fenced so you can leave your kids/pets outside without fear of them running out on the street. And there are toys for kids, including some for outdoor play; really great to keep kids busy. We especially loved lots of outdoor space, and hope to come back again in fall and try out the fire pit.

Adorable Little Cabin

Everything we needed, kitchen was fully stocked and labeled. Host was very easy to contact when we had questions. Could use new pillows and cotton sheets instead of polyester. Several of us were allergic to the laundry detergent, maybe a free and clear kind next time. The yard was perfect for our two dogs. We even got unexpected snow which the kids loved.

Enchanting Family Reunion

My husband and I and my eldest daughter (an adult) stayed at this lovely home for two nights. It is a beautifully furnished home with lots of outdoor relaxing areas for seating and/or dining. It was a perfect place for our two dogs to stay with us, as it has an enclosed backyard and areas where they can be with the family, but also the option to be managed in just a couple of rooms (kitchen and garage leading to the outdoor patio.) The house is beautifully equipped for gourmet cooking and for entertaining. We had family members over during the day (one 21 month old, a ten year old, and 3 adults). We loved the toys for toddlers and the supply of games nicely kept in the closet for guests to use. There were lovely games to play in the garage as well: ping-pong, foosball, etc. The baby girl loved the little car and toys for playing outside. The property is immaculately clean and welcoming. I hope to return sometime soon to this lovely vacation spot in the forest.

Very nice house, well maintained, great gateway to El Dorado National Forest

This is a very comfortable house for two couples (2BR/1Ba) with a well-stocked kitchen. We stayed here 3 nights while day hiking in the El Dorado National Forest. Quite close to a Safeway and a couple of good restaurants in Pollock Pines. Good, direct communication with the owner before/during/after our stay. Would not hesitate to stay again and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to stay in this area.
