My family loved the home and had a wonderful vacation! The owner and property manager were very responsive and accommodating. My only note is that the beds and couch are a bit firm. Otherwise, the house was perfect for a family getaway. We would absolutely stay here again and have already recommended it to friends and family!

We come to PS yearly for post-winter getaway. We came to this property this year and had an idyllic experience! Location is FABULOUS as you are close to downtown yet tucked into the foothills and the evenings are quiet and serene. We went south to do some hiking, which was wonderful. The trails are so close. The house is lovely…fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and great en suite baths. The pool area is perfect, wonderful for a refreshing dip. The birds serenade you each morning on the front patio as you enjoy your coffee. We loved the home!

Barbara is an excellent host and the location of this property is one of the best in Palm Springs. I wanna keep it a secret. Peaceful and replenishing. Side note: I appreciate that there a lot of basic items left at this property ie: Sunscreen, honey, soap, toilet paper Etc..The kitchen is well stocked with herbs and spices too. Makes for a very easy stay. :)

House is situated in quiet, private neighborhood. 2 couples stayed and we were very comfortable. Home is close to restaurants, groceries, or whatever else you need. Lots of areas to walk. Or take a short ride into iconic neighborhoods for your morning walks. Nice public golf courses very close. Barbara and Ron are very responsive to any questions you may have. Pool area is nice. While sitting in the hot tub we spotted various wildlife on the hillside above. All in all a wonderful stay with great weather in December.

Perfect Thanksgiving

This place has to be one of the best vacation rentals we’ve ever stayed in. Beautifully decorated and the location was ideal. We spent a good amount of time enjoying the pool and hot tub. The kitchen was very well stocked so that we had all the pots, pans, etc we needed to prepare our Thanksgiving dinner.

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 traveled to Palm Springs with friends starting in 2001 who owned a home in the Mesa at the time. We were excited to find a home of our own 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!
