Destination Design: A Cabin by Heath
A modest 1973 Tahoe cabin transformed by the owners of Heath Ceramics into a personal retreat that prioritizes simple, beautiful living.
What began as a simple 1970s Alpine cabin, in the Bear Creek neighborhood of California’s Alpine Meadows Valley, has been given the full Heath treatment by the couple behind the Californian homewares brand, Catherine Bailey and Robin Petravic.
In 2012, nine years after relaunching Heath, the company originally established in 1948 by Edith and Brian Heath, Catherine and Robin began to crave time spent in nature with family and friends. They found a 1970s winter cabin, a 15-minute drive from Lake Tahoe and mere steps from some stunning hiking, swimming and skiing spots and that had a creek running through its yard. With deep respect for the original design by Tahoe architect Charles O. Matcham, they set about making it their own.
With an understated aesthetic finely tuned over nine years at the helm of Heath, today the 1500-square-foot residence is both humbly and beautifully appointed ? with nothing more and nothing less than necessary. It has been Catherine and Robin’s family retreat for seven years and now, for the first time, it is being offered as a short-term rental to guests looking for a sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The cabin sleeps ten guests in four rooms ? there are three original bedrooms, each with a queen bed, and a recently added fourth bedroom with built-in bunk beds.
