 "Where The Forest Meets The Sky"

There's unlimited serenity for hikers, mountain bikers, wilderness seekers, and nature lovers. Fishing, bird watching, rock hounding, golfing, and sightseeing opportunities abound year-round. 

Cobb Mountain is the highest peak in the Mayacamas Range, which forms a boundary between Lake and Sonoma Counties. With elevations of 2,400 feet to 4,722 feet, Cobb has annual snowfall. The forested mountain area consists of pine, oak, fir, madrone, and cedar trees. 

The communities of the Cobb area developed in the late 1800s around several famous resorts where many people gathered to enjoy natural hot springs and mineral baths. Popular facilities included Adams Springs, Bonanza Springs, Adams Springs, Forest Lake, Seigler Springs, Howard Springs, and Ettawa Springs. Some have since burned down or been transformed into different uses. After the early establishment of the resorts, areas of small vacation homes and cabins such as Loch Lomond, Whispering Pines and Pine Grove sprang up. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the development of geothermal power stations in the Mayacamas brought a rush of new employment to the area and much new permanent housing was built, so that overtime the population has grown to include more and more permanent residents, who appreciated the unique topography and environment for raising families retirement, home businesses or pursuing an alternative lifestyle. 

MIDDLETOWN 

Middletown is the Southern Gateway to Lake County and lies halfway between Calistoga in Napa County and Lower Lake. With its tree-lined streets, Middletown is framed with beautiful views of Mt. St. Helena and Cobb Mountain. In this tranquil setting residents enjoy the absence of the usual day-to-day pressures of larger cities. Due to the very comfortable and relaxed pace of life here in Middletown it has become one of the most popular places to move to in Lake County, with jobs in the North Bay and "big city" amenities being easily accessible. With an old west charm Middletown serves as a gateway to the gorgeous paradise, which is Lake County, a stunning county of blue waters, hot springs, sports and leisure activities, geological wonders, high-class casinos, and entertainment venues. Middletown sits at an elevation of 1,100 feet above sea level and enjoys the sunniest climate in the north (neither coastal nor valley low clouds and fog invade), California's cleanest air and plentiful water with 45" of annual rainfall.  

HIDDEN VALLEY 

Hidden Valley is located just north of Middletown. Hidden Valley began in 1968 as a new subdivision vacation home and retirement paradise, but over time it has developed into a place where retirees and vacation owners now share the beautiful environment with younger working families who have found an affordable and peaceful semi-rural community in which to live and raise their families. Housing is affordable, and job opportunities are accessible both in Lake County and in Napa and Sonoma Counties to the south. It is only 30 minutes drive to Calistoga, and 60 minutes to Santa Rosa. Population as of January 2003 is about 5,500, but steadily increasing as the subdivision continues to be built out. Hidden Valley Lake is now the second largest population area in Lake County. Just in Hidden Valley alone you will find recreational activities for all types of all ages. Fishing, swimming, sailing and boating can all be enjoyed out on Hidden Valley Lake while many flock to the world class golf course. A very active Home Owners Association, which manages the gated access as well as the other facilities, ensures an attractive and secure living environment. With stunning oak savannahs and 20 mile views from hillside home sites, you can imagine why Hidden Valley has become the choice for so many looking to relocate.
