About this property

Travel Back in Time to this Gorgeous 1950's Remodel

Beautifully appointed 2 bedroom, 2 bath home at the top of La Quinta cove. Two blocks from hiking trails and bike paths. This 1950's home has been completely remodeled and updated with designer finishes. This cozy home comfortably sleeps 6 and is great for small families or a romantic couples getaway. There is a large great room with the original stone wood burning fireplace for those cozy desert evenings. The home is on a double lot with a large grass yard for youngsters to play (rare in La Quinta cove) and the dog to run. A beautiful stone waterfall feature will lull you to deep rest and relaxation as you enjoy the beautiful desert days. Two blocks from the Cove Oasis trailheads and the Fred Wolff Bear Creek Nature Trail where you can walk, jog or ride a bike.

Two bedrooms have brand new comfy memory foam mattresses as well as a Queen sleeper sofa and a twin sleeper sofa in the Great room - both have brand new memory foam mattresses as well.

There is also an outdoor living area with seating for six, high top bar table, lounge chair and BBQ. The designer kitchen is completely equipped with all necessities including spices and cookware, utensils, and full barware.

We welcome you to come and be our guests in this very special desert retreat.

It doesn’t get any better when you’re surrounded by natural beauty in the La Quinta Cove. A short block from this mid century modern home are walking & hiking trails in mountains. We walked with our dog Scooby at least twice a day & never tired of the experience. The large, grassy backyard is out of this world with privacy & a dark sky at night. The stars are amazing. Many places to eat out, in both Old Town La Quinta & on hwy 111. At the same time, buy groceries & head out to the wonderful yard. The kitchen has everything you need. Lastly the hosts are amazing & respond quickly to any questions. We’ve stayed at this property 4 times, over the years, in early spring & loved everything about it.

Hi Mary! We are just a bit confused about your review. It seems you enjoyed the property and even personally shared with us that you would like to return in the future. What concerns me is only 1 star. Was there something that you were unhappy with? We are genuinely concerned about it as we strive for guests to have an excellent experience in our home. Respectfully, Tim and Catherine

Beautiful Home

Due to our travel lifestyle, I stayed at over 20 properties last year, and this was the cleanest, most well-stocked property I have ever been to, and the beds were comfortable! If you like being outdoors is close to hiking trails and downtown La Quinta is just a few minutes away.

Hidden gem with incredible back yard

This property looks just like the photos. Charming decor through out and very well maintained. We felt cozy and at home. Unfortunately, we were there for dog shows so we didn’t spend that much time relaxing and hanging out. The dogs absolutely love the yard and were more relaxed than being at a hotel.

Perfect for our likes and needs.

The house and location are great. The proximity to the Santa Rosa mountains, the walking /hiking trails, the views, and the nearby oases, are outstanding. The grassy back yard, is private and relaxing, for us and our dog. The house is equipped with most everything we could need. It’s also a short drive to restaurants and services. All of the above are reasons we have made repeat visits, for weeks at a time.

Clean and quiet, nicely equipped

Very clean, beautiful backyard with comfortable furniture, super quiet. Owner is responsive and generous, lots of coffee capsules, paper goods, streaming TV etc. Extra clean sheets and towels. One thing to know is that the bathroom for the second bedroom is not adjacent— you have to walk through the kitchen, dining room, down three steps and across the living room to get there, quite a hike in the middle of the night.
