A perfect stay at Serenity Ranch
I arrived on Friday at Serenity Ranch and was met by Rich and Solo the amazing dog who got me all checked in with a great chat and warm welcome. The Tiny Home is a great addition to Serenity Ranch. I have tent camped here many times as well as rented the Glamp tents as well as the main house. I love this place. It's very special, quiet and private. No crowds here. I was very impressed by the Tiny Home with it's comfortable queen size bed, lighting and overhead fan, nice decorative and useful touches such as the shelves and luggage rack/shoe storage. The windows stayed open the whole time I was there and it gets such a great breeze flowing through the place, Very homey. The deck has chairs and a cool round table at which i ate my meals, read and listened to music and to absolute silence. I set my cooking table up on the deck and it fit easily with room to move around freely. There is a restroom/sink building 20 feet from the Tiny Home The Ranch has spring fed showers which I always appreciate having and using after a day hiking at Palomar State Park, 15 minutes further up the road and you are in. All the water taps on the Ranch are spring fed, purely delicious cold water BTW! The history of the Ranch is something very special and which I highly suggest coming up to experience. There are grinding holes here from Native Americans dating back centuries and longer. It is a very special place to come visit and I will keep coming back.
While having coffee early Sunday morning I had a great experience with a beautiful Bobcat who was passing by my place. We acknowledged seeing each other, made eye contact and were both still for over a minute sharing the space. Got a nice pic too...thanks Bobcat!
