Our group of 8 (5 adults, 2 children, and a baby) enjoyed a lovely Thanksgiving weekend at the house. The master suite was wonderful - the king-sized bed was super comfortable and my husband loved having a double-bowled sink in the bathroom. Our son and his wife stayed in the queen room and found it to be comfortable as well. Two grandkids (ages 8 and 6) stayed in the double/single room, which was perfect for them. The house is beautifully furnished, and the kitchen is well-stocked, enabling us to easily heat up and enjoy our store-bought Thanksgiving feast. We had to move a number of potentially breakable items out of reach of a very active 1-year old. The owners plan to supply the house with a pack-n-play in 2019, but our son had to bring one for our trip. IMO, the house and pool is fine for children 4 and older, but may not be appropriate for toddlers.
The house is located in La Quinta Cove, one block from a trailhead for the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument. Easy and more extensive hikes are easily accessible from the trailhead parking lot. We "hiked" (actually strolled) with the older children to the Bear Creek Oasis, which they enjoyed. We had dinner at a Mexican restaurant in Old La Quinta, a charming little village within a 5-minute drive from the house. Our other day trips were further afield, requiring a 30 - 45 minute drive : Palm Springs Aerial Tram, Taquitz Canyon, and Thousand Palms Oasis in the Coachella Valley Nature Preserve (all highly recommended!).
The pool can be heated for an additional fee, but with highs in mid 70s and lows in the 50s, the pool was still a bit cool for those brave enough to go in. The kids didn't seem to mind, though. Overall, a very lovely home.
