Retired military family looking to take a vacation with the security of having our home and cat lovingly looked after. We have one inside/outside cat (friendly and loving). We have a small property with plants, window boxes and hanging baskets to water. We have a three tier deck with a Hot Springs Spa (yours to enjoy)in need of light chemical maintenance.
Our lovely little home in nestled in the Sierra Nevada Mountains (4000' level). Our property is surrounded by evergreen trees, with many sunny spots around the house all day long. Our summer climate is warm, but not too hot, with cool pleasant nights. Very pleasant fall temperatures. We have a whole house fan to bring in the evening air and air conditioning if needed. We rarely use it. We have two bedrooms, one with a new king size Casper mattress and the other with and equally new queen size Casper. There are two bathrooms.
We are one hour west of Lake Tahoe, fifteen minutes from where gold was first discovered, and 1 hour east of Sacramento and an international airport. San Francisco and the Napa Valley can be done in a day trip. The town of Pollock Pines has all the basic necessities. We are less than five minutes from a major grocery store and many good restaurants. Down the hill 15 minutes you will find everything you need in the town of Placerville (Walmart, TJ Max, Ross, etc. as well as many fine restaurants). There is also a fully recreational lake just 15 minutes away.
If you enjoy wine tasting, you will find many fine wineries all within minutes away.
You will certainly find our home comfortable and cozy (nicely decorated, too). We look forward to hearing from prospective house sitters and are happy to answer any questions you may have.
