Enjoy your retreat or explore other local desert activities: hike, golf, shop, eat, spa, art/music.

"Village Fest" on Palm Canyon Drive is transformed into a bustling street fair. Artists, craftsmen, food vendors, musicians and entertainers are there to entertain. Stock up on local farm veggies/fruit or enjoy some great people watching.

Also experience, on Friday from 4pm to 9pm, 'First Friday On North Palm Canyon' (every month, year-round), between Tachevah and Amado Road, featuring entertainment, food and fun, where more than 50 antique furnishings and art stores remain open into the late evening.

Hike: Miles of hiking trails are within a 1/4-mile walking distance from the house and there are trails with mountain access at the wash at the end of our cul de sac. Great hiking trails include: Palm Canyon, Murray Canyon, Tahquitz Canyon and multiple trails off the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. Also stroll through Moorten's Botanical Garden less than a 1/4-mile from the property.

Tennis: Ruth Hardy Park has 8 courts in great condition. No charge for use of the public courts.

Option for single players at Ruth Hardy Park: Players from expertise level 4.5 to 3.0 can pick a rotational play court to fit w/ your skill level. Ask someone waiting at the courts for more info about the system and they should be helpful. Single players sit by a court when 4 people are playing. At end of a set, 3 people will stay on the court and one person will rotate out allowing you to play. Shaded benches under mature trees provide relief in the heat of the summer.

Welcome return
Great to find the house in the same condition as our last visit 8 years ago. Well equipped and spotlessly clean it is a joy to stay in. Our 6 year old spent hours in the pool and swam her first full length. Brian and Barbara were very prompt in sorting out a minor problem with the pool and spa. We look forward to returning, Bernard and Jill

Excellent house and excellent location.
Lovely house that backs up to the mountains. Two outdoor living areas are great. One in the back with the pool and one in the front with a view across the valley. Excellent.

I’d live here if I could!!
Wow, what an awesome few days. The home was more than advertised! The location was close to everything yet felt so private and quiet. The home was very well maintained and so easy to use. It had EVERYTHING you need…the most complete home away from home I have ever stayed in. The owners and property manager were very easy to work with and communication was top notch and as expected. I highly recommend this home if you are biting Palm Springs. I know I will be back!!

About the host

Hosted by Barbara

Host profile image
We live in a cooler, often chilly climate in Northern California. Palm Springs offers us a place to switch gears, warm our bones and provides us a delightful environment to engage nature and enjoy the many enlivening activites in the desert.

Why they chose this property

We have been traveling to Palm Springs with friends who have owned a home in the desert since 2001. We were excited to find a home in a natural desert setting that we could renovate, enjoy and share with others!

What makes this property unique

We bought this home because of the gorgeous views and the mid-century sensibility of the home in this amazing hillside setting. When creating the landscape with its patios, pool/spa, walls and established trees we made every effort to ensure we brought the natural Palm Springs panorama into view. It is something to behold from every room and spot in and around the house!
