We stayed at Paige and Calvin's house in Palm Desert, in March, 2024. Of the many lovely places we've stayed in the Coachella Valley over the years, this was the nicest. And as cliched as it sounds, Paige is the consummate host. In touch ahead of time to make sure she had the kind of coffee we like? Check. Homemade ice cream, brownies, and fresh-squeezed juice on arrival? Check. Available if you lock yourself out of the house? Check. We came to the valley for tennis, hiking, and cultural events. Paige and Calvin's place is perfectly located for all of this and just up the road from Whole Foods and the El Paseo shops and restaurants in Palm Desert, five minutes from the McCallum Theatre, an easy drive to Indian Canyons and Tahquitz Canyon. And if you just want to walk out the door and go for a walk in the morning or evening, the house sits on 5 acres which border a public park with hiking trails. We loved the backyard, with the citrus trees, numerous avian guests, and garden for relaxing with a book or visiting with a friend. We can't wait to return next year!
