Mountain Retreat Near Town
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!

Mountain Retreat close to City Center
Just as Described, great quiet private retreat just blocks from Hwy 74. Pup friendly next door to dog park. Owners are very accommodating and respect visitors privacy, they are very friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful stay. Paige provides nearly every small appliance imaginable. Property was clean, well stocked, washer and dryer were great. Excellent stay. Hope to visit again.

Winter escape
I loved the remote, yet so close to everything location! The space was very charming and ambience was just my vibe. Being close to the hiking trails and off leash dog walking area was perfect for my pup and I. Paige and Calvin were very attentive to all my needs. Weather was just about perfect.

Nice property, central location
Paige was so nice and responsive to make our stay easy and enjoyable! The patio is very nice with a view of the valley and we grilled several times during our stay. We look forward to returning and enjoying this property again. Thanks for making us welcome!
