房源位置

Our home is located in Apple Country Estates, a quiet residential community less than two miles from Highway 50. While Sacramento and Lake Tahoe are each less than an hour's drive away, there's more than enough to keep you busy right here in Camino. The Blackbird is ideal for small groups of family or friends attending weddings or other events in Apple Hill and our scenic deck is the perfect space for engagement and bridal photos.
The "Apple Hill" area spans the towns of Placerville, Camino, and Pollock Pines and includes more than 50 family-owned fruit growers, bake shops, wineries, breweries, pumpkin patches, Christmas tree farms, and event venues. Keep your eye out for the red apple signs outside of farms—these denote members of the Apple Hill Growers Association, most of which are within 5-10 minutes of The Blackbird. Check out the Grower's Association website to find out what fruits are in season, which farms are open, and where to go for events and activities during your visit.
For history lovers, Placerville is less than 15 minutes away and brimming with relics and
lore from times past (don't miss Placerville Hardware, the oldest hardware store west of the Mississippi). Sutter's Mill in Coloma—the place where the California Gold Rush began—is a must-see and provides easy access to world-class whitewater rafting on the American River.
If it's the high country that's calling to you, the slopes at Sierra-at-Tahoe are a straight, 50-minute shot up Highway 50 (be sure to start with breakfast at the historic Sportsman's Hall on your way up). South Lake Tahoe is just a bit further, where there's always plenty to see, eat, drink, and hike in every season.
Our guidebook provides detailed recommendations for everyone from kids to wine connoisseurs, but we are also always delighted to provide more tailored suggestions to guests looking to get the most out of their time in gold country.

Driving is the best way to get around Camino, Apple Hill, and El Dorado County. We highly recommend bringing or renting a car with four-wheel drive and snow chains if you are visiting the Sierra Foothills during the winter.
We also advise guests to keep a close eye on weather and road conditions before and during their visit; between fires, wind, and precipitation, weather events arrive and change quickly in every season and can significantly impact travel mobility. Search the web for "Caltrans Highway Conditions" to keep up with the latest from from the California Department of Transportation.
