About the host

Hosted by Brian L Petty

Host profile image
We feel very fortunate to have this home and we love sharing it with others. It is wonderful to hear the stories of families and friends, enjoying the house AND Palm Springs as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because it is very convenient to all that Palm Springs has to offer, but at the same time feels very private. You can be in center of it one minute and relaxing by the pool the next.

What makes this property unique

We really wanted the outdoor area to be the main attraction. A good size pool with mountain views was a must. One of our favorite things about the house is enjoying a nice glass of wine, sitting in the spa while taking in the magnificent mountain views. We hope you will do the same!
