10 Vacation Homes That Bring Nature Inside

Iconic Californian homewares brand Heath Ceramics embodies thoughtful craftsmanship thanks to the extraordinary vision of founder Edith Heath—and it's this approach that the company drew on when transforming a cozy 1973 cabin in the Bear Creek neighborhood of Lake Tahoe’s Alpine Meadows Valley into a year-round getaway. Designed by local architect Charles O. Matcham Jr., the interiors have been given a sleek makeover with a focus on handcrafted details, while existing details—such as the fireplace crafted from local rocks—bring tactile touches of the rugged wilderness inside.
