Ask a questionAbout Robin Latta
I rent in the Bay Area, since I can't afford to purchase a home there, I decided to purchase a vacation home in the mountains. We love to hike, fish, ski and just hang out in Arnold. It's a super-family friendly area and everyone I meet here are incredibly nice.
Robin Latta purchased this House in 2016
Why Robin Latta chose Arnold
Arnold is a great town. There are quite a few lakes (public and private) that are fun to swim and fish in. It has excellent hiking and smack in between Murphys where you can wine taste and Bear Valley where you can ski. Only a 2 1/2 hour or so drive from the Bay Area, it's a great place to unwind without the hassle of driving all the way to Tahoe. I looked for almost a year when I decided I wanted to buy in Arnold. I thought I wanted the classic chalet, but when I saw this house, I was immediately drawn to it because of the views and the ability to see trees in virtually every room in the house. It's really not a cabin, it's a cozy home in the woods. I will continue to improve on things as I go.
What makes this House unique
This house is in a unique location. Many Blue Lake Spring homes are close to each other - this one is super private. Sitting on the deck you can watch the pines sway and listen to the tranquility of the woods. The kitchen is perfect for cooking and gathering with friends and family.
