What a gem of a place! The "Bunkhouse", as it is called, is located in Littlerock CA and overlooks the Antelope Valley. It is only about 70 minutes north of Los Angeles but feels a million miles away. Here is a place where you can relax and unwind, gaze up at the dark and starry sky, marvel at the huge expanse of desert spread out before you, and enjoy the cool evening breezes of the high desert on your own patio.
Nancy, the very gracious and accommodating host, has designed the "Bunkhouse" or "Writer's Retreat" with an artist's touch. Clearly she takes great pride in the place! This is a place of simple but carefully constructed luxury. It resembles a ski chateau with the cozy wooden walls, kitchenette, soft raise-able bed, and comfortable bathroom. There are screen doors that open to the patio and allow for beautiful breezes and light to filter in. Waking up in this place is like heaven!
Here are some great tips when you visit this place:
1. Check out the grounds around the Bunkhouse. There is a place of mediation, called a Yurt, on the property that is quite impressive.
2. Bring a mountain bike or even an ATV! There are fantastic trails that go off into the Juniper Hills and will even take you to the Littlerock Reservoir and Recreation Area.
3. Spend an evening on the Patio watching the breezes and seeing the stars and moon come out. This is a sky you do not see in LA.
The Bunkhouse is first-class retreat, in a beautiful setting! I recommend it HIGHLY!
