Why the Owner Chose Auburn
We had a great time traveling Northern California looking for the perfect lakefront spot. We were looking for an inland spot with warm nights. We wanted a lake which was big enough to water ski yet we did not want to be awaken to the sound of ski boats. At first we were looking for sunsets but soon learned from lake dwellers that western facing homes took a toll from the afternoon Sun. Most of all we wanted a place with tranquility and security where we go unwind and get away from the rush of Silicon Valley.
The Unique Benefits at this House
The home is on a quiet cove in the Private community of Lake of the Pines. Although you have wonderful vistas across the main lake you are far enough away from it that you have great peacefulness and tranquility. You awaken when you are good and ready to the sound of signing birds. The evenings are remarkably quiet and the huge sky offers a striking view of the milky way with shooting stars and even orbiting satellites. Sitting by the dock at dusk and watching the sky change probably our favorite thing. A family of deer often quietly sneak by behind you on the lawn. Mallard ducks will wander up to the dock hoping to get a cracker or two from you. It is just about a perfect spot.
Dinners are served Friday and Saturday evenings. Have dinner at sunset on the porch on a warm summer night as skiboats get in the last runs of the day. Weddings can be booked on the clubhouse lawn wi
Moderately priced breakfast, lunches and dinners with a friendly sports bar.
A sand volleyball court next to the lake and a half court basketball court
Big grocery store, Roundtable Pizza, Ace Hardware, Stinky's Sports Bar, other stores and restaurants
Gas station, car wash, Quiznos, Longs Drugs, Steak and Pizza restaurant
Owner's Map of Auburn
Diane grew up on a lake in Traverse City, Michigan where she learned to water ski, snow ski and snowmobile. In the mornings she would paddle her canoe across the lake to meet the school bus with her white lab taking his spot in the bow. John grew up on a bluff over looking the Rock River - a tributary of the Mississippi in Illinois. Both John and Diane learned to value the wonderful calming effect of a home on the water.
