Amazing location! We stayed here with 19 people for my sister’s bachelorette party and the weekend was amazing! There was plenty of room for everyone and we had a blast outside in the pool and enjoyed all the amenities. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for something to stay with a big group of people whether friends or family!

The back yard was the highlight of this house. The kids played in the pool all day and into the night. We took advantage of the putting green and all the outdoor games. The game rooms inside were also a blast. We started our family reunion trip at the Palm Springs Tram and spent the rest of the days at this huge house. It served our family perfectly.

We stayed at the Desert Castle for my 55th birthday with my whole family. Everyone from age 22 to 62 had a GREAT time. Vlada explained the many benefits of the home (how to turn the firepit on, the spa, the twinkle lights, etc.) well in advance of our arrival so we were ready to enjoy all the amenities right away. The home was sparkling clean and very well stocked with kitchen items (we LOVED the coffee bar!) as well as games and activities for everyone. It's quiet and feels very private. Everyone said their beds were very comfy. There are plenty of sturdy floaties for the pool as well as a massive amount of parking. We also appreciated the extra refrigerator in the garage for all of our food and extra ice (we cooked a LOT!). There is a washer/dryer on both floors which was very convenient. All the boys went home with clean laundry (which never happens on vacay!) Vlada was awesome and checked in on us on day two just make sure we had everything we needed. It's pricey for small groups (there were originally supposed to be more of us) but for 8 people we had plenty of room and everyone had a private room. I'd definitely stay here again.

Multigenerational family friendly; responsive, helpful, and friendly host; very clean, spacious, and comfortable. Hot tub temp was good, pool temp could be warmer than 85 and is not large but fun! Great range of entertainment!! Gorgeous surroundings and close to El Paseo.

Hot tub and pool were great, easy to heat up the hot tub. Great communication from the host, she answered all our questions quicklyThe house is perfect for a large group, plenty of space and great community areas we could all hang out. Location is a little bit outside of the el Paseo main area but it is an easy 5 minute drive and the house is quiet at night. Highly recommend staying here.
