Yucca Loma Ranch- 13342 Rincon Rd
Catherine Boynton of Colorado Springs, Colorado, had a vision of a peaceful place where she could provide spiritual and medical help to these who needed it. She found just the place in 1911, a few miles east of Victorville, that was to develop into the famous Yucca Loma Ranch. In the Ranch's heyday of the 1920's, Los Angeles papers regularly published accounts of the comings and goings of the Hollywood set who visited. The 160 acre homestead, boasted about 20 unique structures, including guest cottages, residences, a barn, a pumphouse, a pool, tennis courts and servants dwellings. The only remaining ranch structure is the David Manners house, former home to the flamboyant movie star who lived to be 98 years old. He claimed the best years of his life were spent in his little adobe house built in the early 1930's.
