About this property

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.

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.

Rustic cabin on west shore

We enjoyed our week in this cabin. The west shore is lovely and the cabin is in a good location in a quiet neighborhood. The kitchen was well stocked and updated. The bedrooms/beds were a little dated but fine for us!

Cozy West Shore cabin

We really enjoyed our four nights at Rustic Sol. The location on Tahoe’s west shore is convenient to many attractions. The cabin is very well appointed and has plenty of vintage charm. We cannot wait to visit 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.
