About Geri Lennon
We are freelance writers and video producers. This is a fabulous place for creativity and exploration. Since we write and do documentary work worldwide, Serenity Central is filled with photos from many cultures.
Geri Lennon purchased this house in 1988
Why Geri Lennon chose Dutch Flat
The Sierras are spectacular all year round. It is a perfect place for nature, hiking, winter and summer sports and just plain chilling out. If you are an author, this is the place to write you next best seller. If you are a meditator, even the squirrels will meditate with you. This is a magical site in nature. It's not a party pad so if a deck and a quiet glass of wine don't call to you, then you might try somewhere else.
What makes this house unique
Exquisite nature is one of our favorite benefits. No freeway traffic jams while enjoying pure relaxation. This is a perfect writer's haven. Small writer's workshops and meditation retreats with a comfortable few are perfect as well. And for working online, the wifi is fast and reliable (except in power outs which are rare).
