one of my very favorite places on planet earth. being at valley view is being fully immersed in nature, peace, and community. such a special gem that is authentic, gorgeous, relaxing, and peaceful. i love visiting alone and with cherished friends. my favorite thing in the world is being in one of the pools late into the night (sometimes all night long till the sun comes up!), sleeping a few hours, having breakfast in the pavilion, and soaking some more. i’ve camped, stayed in the oak house, and the other house up by the entrance. if you’re going for the first time, really read through the website as it has a bunch of helpful info that you’ll want to know.
