:|: Samadhi’s Birdhouse ~ Nature’s Wonderland!

Samadhi’s Birdhouse is a quiet retreat perched atop a tiny peninsula that juts out into the southern portion of Clear Lake reaching toward Mount Konocti [Mountain Woman in Pomo]. Water surrounds you on all sides as birds abound. You’ll see pelicans streaming past; egrets finding their familiar ground; eagles, hawks, and turkey vultures looking down in curiosity. Deer, jackrabbits, and wild turkey graze together while melodic birdsong fills the air.

Creek House - Water Front

Home has direct access to a year long running creek in the back yard. Water is coming from a spring in the mountains. Feels like your in Yosemite, but we are only 50 miles from Los Angeles. We are located inside the San Bernardino Forest tucked away in the mountains less that 5 miles from the freeway. You are still close to all the shops and restaurants, but a world away nestled inside the mountains. Fall asleep to the sound of the creek.
