I'm not sure that this site meet
WP:GEOLAND or
WP:GNG. Found some older coverage stating that this was a resort with 7 cabins. As noted at
User:Hog Farm/springs, this is not mentioned in a directory of natural springs in California. When I search in
An Arcadia press book about resorts in Lake County, nothing is coming up for me. Newspapers.com coverage is a vast string of "houses of rent" real estate listings and a few passing mentions that things happened at the Ettawa Springs resort: the discovery of a dead body, an accidental shooting, and an insecticide poisoning.
Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places, but all I'm really getting are trivial mentions, unreliable genealogy-type stuff, and a crap ton of real estate listings that don't contribute to notability. As a resort, not a community, it fails GEOLAND, and I'm not convinced that GNG is met here.

Delete Seems to have arisen from the Ettawa Berry Ranch which is seen inviting campers
here in 1919. Nothing comes up before that so I think it's safe to discount any long-lost ghost town. Marketed as a resort from the 30s with serviced cabins but by 1995 the site is for sale stating "Lodge/cabins probably not salvageable. Old RV park". No evidence that it was a collection of permanent homes.----

My research yields the same as the nomination, with the addition that the 1972 Woodall's Trailering Parks and Campgrounds gives location data only.

Delete. No
post office. I found the same trivial, non-notable coverage in newspapers.com. JSTOR returns one article about moss with a trivial mention. GBooks has a few trivial mentions - nothing of note. This is a non-notable location without legal recognition and with only trivial coverage so #1 and #2 of
WP:GEOLAND are not met.
