Beautiful property; well appointed--very clean and well maintained. Nice layout with separation of bedrooms for greater privacy. We were three families with kids and 4 young grandkids. We used the separate living room as the "play" room giving the adults a little "space"! Great kitchen with everything we needed to cook for a week. The owner gave detailed instructions on everything including operating the spa/pool which was the center of activities. Even the light switches are labeled which was appreciated! We loved the view of the lake and took the electric boat out daily. It's a bonus that the property is relatively close to shopping.

Owner response:What can I say? We are certainly blessed to have had the wonderful guests we have had. Helen is another example of a purely delightful and thoughtful human being! - Bob (Owner)

Multi generation family vacation

We just got back home from a wonderful week at this beautiful home. Three generations shared food and fun, the pool and hot tub. And additional family members and friends came over to visit. The kitchen was ample for food preparation for a crowd and we "made do" for our wheelchair guy using the hall bathroom. It was easy for him to get around in the house and enjoy the outside as well. The listing description was accurate and the pictures showed us what the home looked like but it was more beautiful and spacious when we were actually there to see it. Our daughter made all the arrangements with the owners and we would most definately come back to this home again. Thank you so much..

Owner response:We are so glad that you had a wonderful time with your family! Family is all what it is about! We shall look forward to your return! - Owners, Bob and Bonnie

We stayed in this lovely Lake LaQuinta home for 2 weeks to celebrate our fathers 100th birthday. What a great house for such a party. We had our immediate family in the ample bedrooms and friends & family (26) visited for a party on the patio and pool. We enjoyed the boat and beautiful lake. Dad even caught a fish! We will definately stay in this home again. There was plenty of room - we did not use the formal dining or living rooms, and still had enough room. The kitchen and greatroom are set up for entertainment and the kitchen had everything I needed. The owners were great to work with and I received my damage deposit back promptly. Thanks for a fantastic family memory.

We stayed for a wonderful 9 days at this exceptional home. This was our second time staying here and we may have even enjoyed it more. The house is beautiful, spacious, well kept up and really well stocked. We loved being on the lake and the use of the boat is quite a nice perk. Thank you Bob for sharing your beautiful home with us once again! I'm sure we will be back!

Owner response:Thanks Claudia, we look forward to having you and Scott return! Bob

Paradise In The Desert

Our family stayed at this wonderful property Thanksgiving week of 2010. The home was spacious, immaculate, extremely comfortable, and nicely furnished..Beds and linens were top quality.The unique setting (on a lake) was an added bonus, as was the boat that was available for our use. The owners were extremely pleasant and very professional in the handling of the rental. The nicest property we have stayed at in the Palm Springs area by far! Would definitely return again.

We spent a week in this lovely home and really enjoyed everything about it! The home was very clean, spacious, well organized and well maintained. It was very easy to make our reservation and Bob has been extremely helpful and nice to work with. We really loved taking the boat out on the lake and having a pool and hot tub of our very own. We would definately come back and in fact have already booked for next year. Thank you for making your vacation home our home away from home in the desert!

Owner response:Claudine was so nice and great to work with! My wife and I feel blessed to have had such wonderful renters as we have had including Claudine! We look forward to welcoming them back for their next year's vacation in our home! Since our home in not just a property that we bought for rental income but in fact where we will retire one day, my wife and I keep up our home there so it stays nice. That is why we are so appreciative to welcome Claudine back as well as other past renters, since they treated our home respectfully and left it in very good condition. Thanks again Claudine! - Bob and Bonnie (Owners)

Just returned from our FANTASTIC two week stay at this beautiful home! The location on the lake is spectacular. We have been to the Palm Desert area many times over the years and have never had a more comfortable and lovely holiday. Waking up to the beauty of the lake and having little boat rides with our morning coffee was so special. This home is spacious, extremely comfortable and well equipped. We loved Old La Quinta with all the restaurants. Fantastic golf near by and watching Polo in Indio. Can't wait to return and wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else. Thank-you to Bob and his family for a very special holiday!

Although I had to cancel the trip to La Quinta at the last minute, my golfing buddies loved this wonderful residence and would return without question. It is close to all the main golf courses, the residence is in immaculate shape and Bob is a great person to deal with.

We stayed here for two weeks and had a wonderful time. The house is spacious, and so relaxing. The kids had a great time in the pool and spa and loved going on the boat. It's peaceful and quiet, we loved having coffee over looking the lake.
