Such a cute little home and nicely decorated. So close to the pools and made it really handy for getting around. Well furnished and stocked with everything we needed! Loved the bathroom wallpaper!!
We had a lovely time. It was perfect for two people, wellequipped with everything we needed from beach towels to cookie sheets. The grounds are beautiful and pools very nice. We played some pool and ping pong in rec hall just across the street and walked on the trail. Thank you for a enjoyable stay.

We stayed here while attending the Indian Wells tennis tournament. It was perfect for our needs, with lots of thoughtful touches. While not super close to our ultimate destination, it was a great spot to crash in the evenings with some nice little hikes close by. Easy check in and check out and peaceful spot. Wish we’d had a chance to check out the pools!
This was our first time staying in a tiny house, aka a park model home in California. Overall a very nice stay and experience. We did miss some of the modern conveniences we are used to (dishwasher, disposal and ice maker), but those gaps were pretty minor for a one week stay.

The space was very nice, and host very responsive. Great location with the pools/spring across the street. Unfortunately the water was temporarily shut off the morning of our departure. We were given an extra hour for late checkout, and water was turned back on.
Location was awesome, right across the street from 6 pools, and the other 7 pool complex was 2 blocks away. There was a nice desert walking area 1 block away which was a RC car paradise. We had champagne by the fire in the fire pit area one night. The house was comfortable. Kitchen had all we needed, bed was comfortable, nice sitting area on the front porch. Great communication with the owner. Overall we had a very nice trip.
Went to Sky Valley to visit with others, including another couple who owns a residence there. The resort is wonderful but the unit is really dated. Needs a lot of updates and a good deep cleaning. Owner was nice and responsive.

Veronica, of the several years of hosting on VRBO, I have yet to receive a 3-star review and hear of the unit being dated and in need of cleaning. You would be the first. I go above and beyond for my guests to have a wonderful experience and keep the home clean and cozy. I'm glad to know you were happy with my customer service.

Yes, it's "tiny" but fit our needs: within 30 minute drive of Indian Wells Tennis Garden; great WiFi; nice little community (Sky Valley Resort); great value compared to any hotels in Indian Wells. Notably, it's in a mobile home resort so if you're looking for the Four Seasons, keep looking. Great communications from Liz on the booking. The bed was okay but not great. I would definitely do it again. Stayed there 3/9/23.
We had a great week at this tiny home! After some difficulty accessing the lockbox, Liz was quickly helpful, and easy to communicate with throughout our stay. The place was the best-equipped VRBO we have stayed in, providing everything from assorted spices to pillow spray! The mineral pools were fabulous after a day of sight-seeing, and we were pleased with the variety of attractions Palm Springs and area had to offer. The quiet and dark of the resort were appreciated, and well worth the extra drive to get there! We would definitely recommend this property.
Compact size just right for two people. Good location, all amenities either in the property or on site. Especially liked the choice of pools, even got my wife to swim a couple of times. Recommended.

Truly a Gem in a Desert.
The place was just wonderful. Bed was comfortable, and my wife and I enjoyed our time relaxing over the new years weekend. Though it was located on a main road, it was pretty much quiet (as per property noise rules). Located close (cross the street) from one of the property's mineral pools easy less than 5 min walk. Very clean property. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.
My friends and I really love the property, it is very cozy! There is a lake at the back of the property where u can just chill and stargaze! Property is very clean.
Liz, the owner, was also very patient with my questions since it is my first time using a vrbo property.
Would definitely stay here again! :)
The property is so cute and well decorated. The "tiny house" was still very spacious and very comfortable. We had a great time lounging by the pools and spas, as well as enjoying the lake views from the property. Our host made us feel so comfortable and welcome, can't wait to book again!
