The space
AmenaLand is a secluded 70-acre retreat high on Cobb Mountain in Lake County, California — about 2 hours from San Francisco and an hour from Napa. The centerpiece is a private 3 1/2-acre spring-fed lake, built in 1960 by the Army Corps of Engineers as a year-round water source for Cal Fire. During the 2015 Valley Fire, helicopters dipped from this lake every two minutes to fight the blaze — it saved the property and the neighbors.

The lake shares an aquifer with Kelsey Creek, which borders the land, and there’s a beautiful stretch of creek with a private swimming hole and trout fishing. The water here is what locals call “blue” — calcium-rich, drawn from volcanic rock, and considered the best in Lake County.

Wildlife is everywhere: foxes, coyotes, eagles, hawks, ravens, wild turkeys, families of Canada geese, and other wild animals. The National Audubon Society has recorded 52 species of birds on the property. The lake holds bass, bluegill, lake trout, catfish, and crawdads — an angler’s paradise on one of the most prolific trout streams on the mountain.

The Space
This uniquely elegant country, 5 bedrooms and 4 1/2 bathrooms, 3,600 sq. ft. home sleeps 10 or more. It is perfect for families or individuals looking for a fun and relaxing getaway. All beds come with a fluffy down comforter and feather/down pillows. Every TV includes Prime Video, Netflix, and YouTube, with casting and streaming from phones, computers, and tablets. There are 3 sound systems in the home: the main suite, media room and game room, and bluetooth speakers in the game room and Lakeview bathroom mirror. The 2 wood fireplaces & fire pit are supplied with seasoned oak and fire starter during your stay. The entire home is climate-controlled with 9 individually operated units, giving ultimate temperature control — so every room stays comfortable whether you’re in the kitchen or the Lakeview bedroom.

Enjoy access to a private dock, hot tub, BBQ, kayaks, and more in a quiet outdoor setting on our private lake. A garden grows herbs, vegetables, and fruit in season — strawberries, apples, romaine, peppermint Swiss chard.

The dock extends the deck onto the lake with a canopy, lounge chairs, rocking chairs, a propane gas fire pit, and an optional Queen air bed for an evening and morning on the water. A full propane tank is provided at check-in, but please note that propane is not refilled during your stay.

We’re happy to share our 2 kayaks and other water toys with you! These are well-loved and regularly used, so please note they may show signs of wear and are not maintained to commercial rental standards, like those you might find at local rental shops.

For your safety, we ask that you always wear a life jacket when using any water toy. After use, please return them to where you found them to help keep the property tidy and organized.

The dock is a floating dock, which can become rough and unstable during windy or choppy conditions. Please always wear a life jacket when on the dock and avoid using it during rough water.

Enjoy the lake and have fun — safely and respectfully!

If you enjoy live music, the upper deck has a dedicated 50-amp circuit power supply box that specifically handles musician’s equipment and lighting, providing ample power to handle a 10 piece band. Bands of up to 10 pieces have played here, with fire dancers on the lawn.

Guest Access
When you rent the entire property, you have complete access, with the exception of the garage, upstairs storage, and a closet in the main room, which are reserved for owner use — the host will stay on an adjoining property just two minutes away. Scheduled maintenance may happen during your stay: watering, feeding the cats and the fish. Fish feeding is every day, 20 minutes before sunset — you’ll have to see it for yourself.

Other things to note

Horses are also welcome: there’s a horse barn on the property, and you can trailer your horses in for your stay. Ride the miles and miles of trails with panoramic views. The property is home to four resident friendly cats. A husky belonging to the owner wonders the property which helps to keep wildlife away from the home.
