About the host

Hosted by Brian Strong

Host profile image
Born and raised in Southern California, we enjoy hiking, taking long morning walks, and living an adventurous outdoor lifestyle.

We have been top rated hosts for over 8 years, we thoroughly enjoy meeting new people from all around the world, and we also enjoy traveling to new places for fun adventures.

Fun fact, we are both Nurses, so besides hosting people in our beautiful home, we love to care for those in need.

Why they chose this property

When we sit outside, we love to have the fountain on and listen to the calmness of the trickling water, and the birds chirping in the background. Also, we love taking early morning walks in the neighborhood and looking at the beautiful Desert Landscape and surrounding mountain view.

What makes this property unique

The Zen, positive energy, atmosphere, and vibe.

Our property stands out mostly for its central location to the Indio Polo grounds and many festivals and concert venues that occur throughout the year.

We love catering to our Equestrian community as well and have made wonderful relationships over the years with our return guests.
