Location: Cathedral City, Deserts, California, USA (15 minutes from Palm Springs & 5 minutes to Rancho Mirage)
Accommodations: Home, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 8)
The home was built in 1937 and has been kept in excellent condition. We upgraded it in the fall of 2003 to give it all the amenities that you expect in a home!!
These are the reasons I think you will fall in love with the place... It is private and totally enclosed with gates, fences, and stucco walls. It is surrounded by huge bougainvillea in the front, tall, white oleander on the sides, and a wall in the back. There are towering trees, a stone archway, brick walks with low stone walls, two brick patios with furniture (one covered), fruit trees, five person Hot tub, large grassy area, a large, enclosed kennel,and more, on a quarter of an acre!!
This home is charming with lots of antique wooden accents. Inside the house, you enter a spacious living and dining room, with an open kitchen. Most of the house is done in very old knotty pine (ponderosa) on walls and ceilings, with oak floors, and a very large stone fireplace in the living room (all set up with a gas log for cool evenings). You will find very comfortable furniture in the living room, along with a big screen TV, VCR, and DVD/CD in an alcove. Nestled in a second alcove is a cozy sofa bed for reading or sleeping. In the dining room is an oak table which seats eight and an oak China hutch.
The kitchen has a large peninsular bar open to the dining room with a range top in it and bar stools. The kitchen is "loaded",where you can cook and serve a fine meal, or do something simple. All china, silverware, glassware, linens, serving dishes, pots, and pans are included. There is a laundry room off the kitchen, where there is space to fold and sort clothes out of the washer and dryer.
There are three bedrooms plus the sofa bed, which has a pop-up that will sleep two. The master bedroom has a large bay window looking out to bougainvillea, a beautiful queen-size bed, dresser, dish TV, night stand, dressing table and a bath with tub and shower. The second bedroom is separated from the first bedroom by a bath, with a shower. This bedroom has four windows (all antique small-paned, wooden) and a very inviting sleigh bed with matching furniture. The third bedroom has bunkbeds and a desk with a phone that you can plug your laptop into. You can get high speed internet from the house as well.
We hope that you will come and stay and enjoy yourselves. The house is located close to the heart of Cathedral City and in the "Cove," out of the wind. It is several blocks off Highway 111, which is the main artery connecting all of the Palm Springs area cities. We have operated vacation rental homes for over 10 years and look forward to spoiling you with a comfortable, convenient, and well stocked home away from home!!
