About the host

Hosted by Robin Hansen

Host profile image
Robin is a San Francisco Bay Area Native who is a professional violinist in San Francisco. Went to Berkeley High School and U. C. Berkeley. Cliff was raised in Mississippi and the Bay Area. We love the mountains and everything they have to offer: to swim, to hike, to listen to music, to relax.

Why they chose this property

We always loved enjoying the Arnold area, first renting a friend's cabin, then buying our own. It's a true cabin: no drywall, all tongue-in-groove pine, wood beams, and walnut paneling. We love vintage furnishings, everything was procured for the cabin to fit the groovy late 60's- early 70's decor.

What makes this property unique

We have the only year-round stream in Blue Lake Springs running on the edge of our property - Moran Creek. The forest surrounding the cabin is filled with Incense Cedar, White Fir, Douglas Fir, Black Oak, Dogwoods, Alders lining Moran Creek and mountain lilacs.
