Owner's Map of Mesa
Pete and I have both grown up in the San Francisco Bay Area and have been coming down to Palm Springs for the past 15 years. What brought us to the desert is the nearly guaranteed sunshine, modern architecture, relative peace from the bustle of a large urban center, and the great hiking trails and mountain vistas. We have seen Palm Springs evolve with a new "hipper" scene including restaurants, cultural events (film festivals, art exhibits, etc.), and a variety of healthy lifestyle options, while still maintaining it's small town charm. At "zen house" we try to capture all of the above with simple, stylish, artful design.

We needed down time!

We stayed in the "Zen House" in early July 2011 after spending a full week in Las Vegas. Needless to say we needed somewhere to unwind and just hang out after running for a solid week. This house was the perfect way to end our vacation - it had everything we needed to make the stay comfortable. It's in a quiet area of Palm Springs but still close enough to everything we needed. The house is clean & comfortable and was the perfect size for us and another couple. We spent the bulk of our time in the pool as Palm springs can be quite warm in July and when not in the pool the A/C in the house was a life saver! The back yard is amazing - so peacefull and well maintained. the owners were very helpful leading up to our stay and made themselves available during our stay. The exchange of fees and depostis was very quick and problem free. they offered many suggesitons on how to spend time in Palm Springs (almost oo many so now we have to come back!) I would reccomend this hose to anybody heading to Palm Springs and if you're going make sure you check out the tramway (the view is amazing and it's a great chance to get away from the heat!) the outdoor market on Thursday night and my new favorite restaurant Las Casuelas Quinta (best Mexican ever!) Thanks again for the hospitality - we'll be back!

My husband and I drove from Washington to PS with our German Shepherd and spent two wonderful weeks at this great house. Loved the pool and spa, yard is completely private and walled, great for the dog. Decor was perfert for vacation home, not overdone but very comfortable. We instantly felt right at home and didn't want to leave. Sean and Peter were great, answering every question we had and suggesting some wonderful resturants. Would book for next year same time, but already booked. Would highly recommend! Neighborhood is peaceful walking and hit Koffi every am with the dog. I miss PS already and have been home a day. Thank you guys for sharing such a "Zenful" place.

Top Five Reasons to Stay Here: 1. Everything in this house is new and pristine. 2. This is a comfortable layout and the kitchen is a dream if you are a cook. 3. The outdoor zen pool area is calm and serene - your stress just floats away. 4. Where else can you start your day taking a walk in Indian Canyons? Breathtaking. 5. The owners are wonderful and responsive. You cannot be in better hands.

We were expecting this house to be fabulous based on previous reviews but it exceeded our (very high) expectations. EVERYTHING you need is there - and more. One little example - in other houses we've rented there are never any staples in the kitchen so you have to go out and buy things like salt & pepper and jam and mayo etc. Here we were delighted to find all the staples plus coffee, tea, bottled water, etc. etc. etc. We were considering buying a house in Palm Springs but now we're just going to stay here!

We loved staying in this house and plan to rent it again in the future. It's decorated in such a sophisticated way without feeling overly "done." We were really able to relax here and can't say enough good things about this property. We've rented a lot of vacation homes and this one was the best by a mile.

We definitely recommend this beautiful spot. The house is lovely and gardens and pool area are just gorgeous. It is very convenient to all of the valley, and a calm oasis to come home to after a day out. The owners have thought of everything you need. We will definitely be back and miss it already!

Wow, this place was exceptional! It is completely remodeled and the owners had everything you could think of. They were very personable and reachable with instructions and information. The house was clean, quiet, and close to town. The pool and jacuzzi were wonderful and well-maintained. From the full kitchen with everything you need, to the monogrammed ZEN towels, these owners were very thoughtful with amenities. My husband and I already miss the comfy pool chairs and the bubbling water fountains. Relaxing and very affordable...we can't wait to go back.

Fabulous home. Maintained in immaculate condition with all of the required amenities for a wonderful respite. Close to town but away form the bustle. It was a wonderful place for our family. The pool and the surrounding grounds are a welcome break from what was a very warm weekend and the afternoon shadows as the sun was setting made the area perfect for cocktails and dinner. Many thanks!

A stressless vacation

The house is a modern home with all the things you can wish for during your vacation. A lovely pool with toys for your kids and lounge chairs to read lots of books on, the bikes for a small trip to downtown Palm Springs, a kitchen with all the apps you wish for and for us Europeans always a decadent luxury: a fridge that makes ice cubes! However what makes the house really unique is its owners that warmed us up to the house and even gave tips for the rest of our trip in the US. We certainly recommend this house to any traveler going to Palm Springs. To stress this even more: we have taken an option for next years vacation...
