About this property

Rustic Sol........All warmth and coziness

The name of the cabin, Rustic Sol, captures its essence. Modernised and comfortable, the cabin retains its rustic Tahoe charm and soul. And atop a rise and south facing, it basks in glorious 'sol' (sun). And yet there are many more outstanding features……..

The land to the north slopes gently down over conservancy and forest service lots providing privacy, forest views, and excellent tobogganing opportunities.

The 2 storey cabin has been renovated and appointed with a thoughtful combination of antique and modern furnishings to provide a comfortable stay while maintaining the rustic character. Some qualities include:
- Gas fireplace/stove for ambience and to protect the air quality in the Lake Tahoe basin.
- Triple pane windows for a draught free and warm stay.
- Central heating to ensure that every room, including the bathrooms, is comfortable.
- 46in LED Smart TV with access to internet apps such as YouTube, Pandora, etc; HD free to air TV stations; and a large library of movies and TV series.
- A chef's kitchen with granite counter tops and all new appliances
- New king and twin mattresses, bedding, and down comforters for a good nights sleep
- High speed internet, wifi and a telephone to stay connected.
- Access to Chamberlands private beach (beach ONLY, no pool or tennis access).

Rustic 'Sol' is the ideal mountain getaway regardless of whether it is outdoor adventure or relaxation that is on the agenda. The cabin is convenient to amazing skiing, hiking, mountain biking, and spectacular sandy beaches on the lake. In the summer, take the free shuttle to the beach, or in winter, call Homewood Mountain Resort for a free pickup.

Please note that the driveway is narrow and curves upwards to the house, hence, AWD or 4WD cars with tires suitable for snow are required in winter due to the likelihood of snow.

Beautiful location

We enjoyed our stay. The cabin is in a beautiful location, and it was relaxing to sit on the patio and look at the scenery. The beds were comfortable, and the upstairs master was very roomy. The kitchen had all that we needed to cook our meals there. Thank you!

Amazing

We loved our mini-trip to Homewood/Tahoe! We'd stay at this cabin again in a heartbeat. The manager was more than helpful, and the location couldn't be beat. There's a great market down the road in Tahoma, and you're within minutes of so many quality trails for all age ranges.

Cozy stay

It was cold and snowy for our visit but the house had a wonderful heater that worked great so we had a cozy time. Description of the driveway is accurate- narrow and can get icy. Since he had only one car we could easily turn around at top of driveway, this could be an issue in snow for multiple vehicles. House is well stocked and upstairs bed we slept in was comfy and large. We enjoyed our stay!

Charming property in gorgeous neighborhood!

Stayed a few nights before the Christmas holiday. Was a last-minute booking, but the property management was lovely and accommodated our needs! Comfy beds and helpful amenities. Very cute place to chill and relax. Was nice to walk around the neighborhood in the snow. Close to a lovely beach, and not a far drive from Emerald Bay and Tahoe City. Wish we had the time to stay longer.

A Great Place to Stay!

It was a wonderful stay and the house was perfect for us and our adult children. The house had everything we needed, except for 1 towel per person for the weekend, so if you think you might need a towel for the lake or water sports, you’d better bring a beach towel or an extra towel for yourself. Check out if the area has anything extra going on that would increase the traffic. There was a celebrity golf tournament going on when we were there that made for a lot of traffic. But that’s no bearing on how nice the stay in this particular house was. We would certainly stay here again!

We Had to Wash Our Own Bedding and Dishes…

While the house itself was decent and accommodating in terms of beds and baths, it was incredibly disappointing to have had to clean it ourselves before being able to settle in the first night. We had to wash the bed linens, then put the bedding together, as well as clean the dishes; as none of this had been done prior. We did receive a phone call prior to checking in the day of, stating that there had been a weather alert and they needed to take shelter (nothing actually became of it- it’s not Kansas), but it was specifically stated that we would simply need to, “put the beds together” as that had not been able to be completed. That was it…assemble the bedding. To our overwhelming dismay, that was NOT it. Incredibly disappointing to have traveled more than 8 hours on the road, only to arrive, and then need to do laundry and dishes before we could even go to bed. We paid the full fees, which included an amount for cleaning…we should get some money back!!! Decent house, decent location, but questionable cleanliness.

Lovely long weekend

A lovely place to get snowed in!

We had a wonderful 3 night stay that turned into 4 nights thanks to an abundance of snow... we loved it and the kids loved it! Clean, well appointed, and private, with a great little sledding hill close by. The owner and local property manager were very helpful and super nice. We'll definitely be back!

Dirty and full of dog hair

Unfortunately we did not have a good stay. Upon arrival, we found that the house was FULL of dog hair- all over the couches, floor, and rugs. We were cleaning dog hair off of our clothes all week. There was also dirt and dust everywhere (shelves, floor, blinds, etc), random chewed dog bones left around, and it did not seem like it was professionally cleaned at all. One towel rack literally fell off the wall, and another towel rack was being held together with masking tape- general upkeep was lacking. Additionally, it wasn’t that important to us during this stay, however I know it can be important to others especially if they want to work- the wifi signal was weak and very slow. Overall it was a disappointment and not worth the money.

Beautiful Secluded Cabin!

This beautiful cabin is nestled on the Western boarder of Lake Tahoe. My wife and I visit Lake Tahoe annually for our anniversary, and this cabin suited our needs perfectly. There was plenty of room for our two small children, with all of the amenities you could ask for. I would definitely recommend this property to prospective vacationers, and my family and I would relish the opportunity to stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Mike Eseltine and Ling Ng

We are a family of four living in Australia, but with Californian roots. This is our mountain getaway, which we hope to get back to at least once a year. In the meantime we hope you enjoy the cabin and mountain air as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

How many ways do we love the mountains?

We have hiked, backpacked, snowboarded, skied, camped, and soaked in hot tubs throughout the Sierra Nevada mountains.

We completed the John Muir Trail.

We got engaged at the top of Mt Whitney.

We named our daughter Sierra.

And now we have Rustic 'Sol' to continue to build and sustain mountain stories and memories.
