About Leah

I am a retired county school psychologist who specialized in working with autistic children. I moved to the desert as a single mom to get away from the bustle of city life. My years in the Caribbean and later England lent to the inspirations that helped in the design of my home. The design process was a Mommy and Me project shared with my 13 year old daughter Bodhi. Bodhi's design ideas allowed for the playful lines that only a child can add and hence the home is called Bodhi's Lake House. My son Zen added the technical supports allowing this home to accommodate future smart house advances. Steno Designs made the elegant graceful flow all possible.

Leah purchased this house in 2005
Why Leah chose California Desert

We started out as a Mommy and Me project with my then 13 year old daughter. We designed our home to have a peaceful and tranquil place away from it all. The children and I had planned to open it up to guests in the future and now the future is here! Bodhi’s Lake House is A Home Away from Home with all the luxuries and then some. Come be our guests..

What makes this house unique

This is like an all-inclusive vacation. As a guest at Bodhi's Lake House there is free golf, kayaks, bikes, tennis, game room and more. Once our guests pay for the reservation they can put their wallet away there is no extra expenses except for food! Since we designed and built this home from the ground up it is unique. There is no other. I enjoy the interplay of reflections that are displayed at different times of the day.

The property and views were amazing and exceeded our expectations. Leah, the owner, was very accomodating and helped to make our stay exceptional. There was a little confusion concerning association cards and check out procedures but everything was resolved. We would definitely stay at this beautiful property again in the future.

This was a very nice place, to stay, all the amenities were great. The owner is very nice and accomodating. Our family had such a great time, my 3 year old loved going on the dock and fishing and going out in the paddleboat. Nobody wanted to leave. I would definately recommend this place. The only down fall was the town was very small and not a lot to do, but other than that everything was PERFECT!

Great place for families to spend fun quality time together

The house was lovely and well appointed in a quiet suburban neighborhood. We really enjoyed all the wonderful things the website said would be there - kayaks, paddle boat, pool, jacuzzi, pool table, air hockey, ping pong, bicycles, fancy jetted bathtub, and seven TVs (!), and the bonus 3D TV. The lake was a joy, and the neighbors were kind.

The owner was very nice. We had a number of techno-problems with the Wi-Fi, televisions, pool and the like, and she was very prompt in addressing them. She did not offer any discount for the partial lack of availability (just 1 day on the TVs and 5 or 6 days with no WiFi) or the need to work on those things at the house while we were there, but she did get them fixed.

You should probably know that this place is ideal for folks who like to stay in. There's not much to do in the surrounding area, though we really enjoyed bringing the kids to Calico ghost town that was less than an hour away. But if you're foodies, this is not the right place for you - our big night out was at the Olive Garden at the mall in Victorville, about 20 minutes drive away. It was perfect for us, but that's just a useful thing to know if you're used to urban conveniences like we are. This is not a town for takeout.

In general, all four of us (ages 5 to 47) agree that we definitely recommend this place. It's difficult to find such a lovely home with so much to do. And while the prices are higher here than in other desert towns we've been to, it does have better weather than the Palm Springs and Lake La Quinta areas (in my opinion), because it cools down to the 60s at night, even in July. And it's great to have the high temperatures in the daytime because that makes the pool just that much more inviting.

The only beef I had the whole time was that the house wasn't fully ready when we arrived at 4:30 and the cleaning folks arrived an hour before checkout time. Not a huge problem, but it just wasn't relaxing to do it that way.

Otherwise, the trip was fantastic, we're glad we rented this place, and Leah, the owner, was a pleasure. A unanimous thumbs up.

a. Leah (the owner) was a pleasure to deal with. Very accomodating, reasonable and understanding owner.
b. The house was spanking clean when we entered the house and very tastefully decorated. It had all the amenities for comfortable living.
c. The view of morning sunrise from the patio iss just breathtaking. I conjured the view every morning. I just could not get enough of it.
d. The game room in garage has enough entertainment stuff in it to keep an entire family busy and entertained for days.
e. Very lovely and cozy rooms

This place is a "must stay" in a nice community. We even walked on the riverbed which is just 2 miles away. The views from the riverbed were breathtaking.
