We had the pleasure of staying at Valerie’s place for the month a month and absolutely loved it. Checkin was easy and we were always able to communicate effectively with Valerie. Our favourite of course was the backyard, I wish I could take it home! This is a true oasis, is very private and protected from the wind more than most homes would be. Kitchen had everything we needed for meal prep and having a BBQ was great as we tend to grill quite a bit. Bed was super comfortable. Added bonus was the use of the garage, so convenient to park, unpack and added security. We wanted something quiet and away from city traffic. Desert Hot Springs is a low key small town that has all of the amenities yet is close enough for a short drive to major shopping and sightseeing. A stay at Valerie’s home is highly recommended, you will not be disappointed. Just remember it is a 20+ minute drive into Palm Springs/palm Desert as the Valley is very stretched out. If you are looking for a retreat, peace and quiet and a gorgeous yard this is it! Thanks again Valerie and we will see you next year!
