San Jose, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/10/2013 -- Gerald Olson announced today that Golden Leaf Pictures has made arrangements to film a new reality show, Extreme Resort Makeover at Hoberg’s Club Resort in Northern California. This historic resort, once an exquisite 53-acre mountain top property in Lake County California, was founded in 1885 as a lodge with a few cottages, and grew to be one of the largest privately owned resorts in California. Golden Leaf Picture’s multi-episode TV Program will chronicle the transformation of Hoberg’s (which over the years has fallen into disrepair from previous ownership) back to its prime. At its peak in the 1950s, Hoberg’s hosted more than 1,000 guests a night. About the program, Olson commented: “In Extreme Resort Makeover, audiences will experience the challenges and triumphs of a colorful cast, as Hoberg’s Club Resort is rescued from a state of disrepair to its rebirth, as a world class resort.”
