Serenity View Ranch Guidebook
Neighborhoods
The location is off the beaten path in a very quiet area with a total Valyermo population of 450 people. St Andres Abby, Crystailaire Golf course, plane gliders are all within a few minutes' drive. Below us a working ranch with cows, donkeys, deer, and llamas. On Valyermo Road is an old fashion, functioning Post Office, and lots of photo opts locations. Big Creek Rd leads to the creek and snowcapped mountains during winter. @ 20 minutes or so away is Wrightwood, one of our local skiing resorts. Las Vegas is maybe 3 1/2 hours away. Valyermo is quiet, great for hiking and meditative time. There are no businesses like stores, gas stations in the Valyermo area. Just country life as it was 100 years ago. Properties still use old windmills to pump their water and quail are everywhere. To access amenities Pearblossom Highway is only a short 15-minute drive away.

Sightseeing
Visiting St Andrews Abby can be fun. They have a manmade lake where you can feed the ducks and turtles and Koi fish. Lots of old growth trees and grassy areas to sit and have a picnic. Mass is once a day at noon and there are chairs to sit outside under the trees if you prefer. You can arrange to eat lunch with the monks at 1 pm. But please make your reservations well in advance. Seating is limited.

Dette bør du pakke
Bring food and drinks.
Bring comfort foods and drink, comfortable walking shoes, suntan lotion, binoculars. It is a romantic place so a good bottle of wine could be nice. Even a super cozy cuddle blanket from home. and if you have a dog, make sure he/she has their own sleeping cushion. Small dogs need to be protection from coyotes, bob cats, big owls, etc.
Slik kommer du deg rundt
Having a car or a bicycle are easy ways to get around.
We are located on a sandy, dirt road with a short, windy section to be cautious driving on. But we are only a very short way to the paved road. A lot of bicyclists' rides through Valyermo all the time. We are one of the routes for organized bike rides and races.
