The Emerald Cabin - Pollock Pines

Perfectly positioned 5 minutes from town center & the tranquil Sly Park Recreation Area/Jenkinson Lake, this cozy cabin makes it easy to dip your toes into adventure. With Apple Hill farms just 10-15 minutes away, Placerville 20 minutes down the hill, and South Lake Tahoe a quick 45-60 minute drive, you’re never far from fun.

But the real magic happens right at home. Wake up to crisp forest air, unwind on the deck with a cup of coffee, and let the tranquility of nature be your daily soundtrack

The backyard is an entertainment delight. Fire up the grill on the spacious deck, sway your day away on the balcony swings and deck hammock, or toast marshmallows around the firepit. Little ones will love the slackline playground, and you can challenge your friends to a game of horseshoes.

Inside, whip up a feast in the fully equipped kitchen with double ovens that makes food prep a breeze, then kick back and enjoy movie night on the 70-inch smart TV—or one of the bedroom smart TVs if you’re craving some solo screen time.

Families will find all the comforts of home, with a mini crib, Pack N play, high chairs, and plastic eatware ready for the little ones.

Plus, enjoy easy access to Jenkinson Lake with a parking permit included!

Whether you’re here to unwind or get out and explore, this retreat has you covered for a memorable mountain escape.

Welcome to the Emerald Cabin in the El Dorado National Forest!

The neighborhoods lush landscape, nostalgic flavor, and signature-designed homes are ideal for individuals and families interested in enjoying a simple, unencumbered experience amid a pristine setting.

The community has placed special emphasis on providing enough recreational space to fully enjoy the outdoors. The Emerald Cabin is situated on 1/4 of an acre with easy access to nearby common areas. In addition, nearly 1/3 of total acreage in the community has been set aside as common green space, affording residents and visitors plenty of opportunities to appreciate the unmatched beauty of a mountain setting.

Be our guest! Please let us know how we can accommodate your stay.

We can cater groups and multi-families as we have three bedrooms with a den (housing 4 single beds) but our cabin is still cozy for those seeking solitude. We can accommodate up to 10 people, but our vacation rental permit is limited to 8 guests aged 6+. Children five years of age or younger are not counted toward the maximum occupancy limit of 8.

The cabin is equipped with a Standby Generator so you will not be affected by those pesky power outages that are part of living in a mountain community.
