About this property

Palm Springs First 420 LGBTA Shiloh Pet-Friendly near downtown

he vibe is reminiscent of Tales of the City by Armistead Maupin. While there are many exciting and high-energy hotels and vacation hotspots, there are times when we crave a relaxing retreat from the craziness of daily life—a place for peace and self-reflection. This unique retreat house offers just that, along with a touch of the unexpected and an experience you won’t find anywhere else in Palm Springs.

Shiloh means "a place of peace," and that perfectly captures the essence of this retreat.

Excellent host and great location.

I enjoyed my 11-night stay. It was a great location, and Jeff was friendly and accommodating. Mark ( the dog ) was fun to be around—a nice, friendly dog. Certainly would recommend this place and look forward to a visit sometime in the future.

Wonderful Oasis in the Desert

My partner, our dog and I had a wonderful time at the property! The manager Jeff was incredibly friendly and did everything to ensure our stay was comfortable. The property is pet friendly, and we loved having the ability to let our dog socialize with the other dogs at the property. If you're looking for a relaxing, clean, aesthetic environment close to downtown Palm Springs where you can bring your pet and relax in the pool or hot tub, you cant go wrong staying with Jeff! We will definitely return in the future.

Weekend getaway

We arrived from a long drive and were greeted warmly by the property manager, he was very helpful. We only stayed overnight and were not able to really enjoy the property fully as our flight out was very early. The bed was very comfortable and we will stay again.

Exactly as Promoted

Our Host, Jeffrey, was most cordial, knowledgable, quickly making several recommendations, but discrete and not over bearing, as can sometimes be the case. We found our room to be very agreeable, as to the cleanliness, design, layout, appointments, amenities +++ The complex was as charming as it appeared in the photos; privacy was acceptable. However, due to our personal preferences, the pool water was too cold and the jacuzzi too hot. We very much enjoyed our stay. Looking forward to an encore. Thank you, Jeffrey.

Weekend get a way

We drive from San Diego with our new 5 month puppy. Loved our stay. It was a very cool and artsy place with a very calming relaxing vibe. The host was welcoming and delightful. We had a small gated area for our little pup, and we could also open the sliding doors and the pup would go out to the large area and play with the one of the hosts dogs. The neighborhood is delightful to walk around and talk to other people walking. We are planning another trip for a longer stay.

We needed to unplug and unwind. This beautifully styled oasis provided the perfect location to relax. Jeff was so friendly and accommodating. We will plan another trip. The location is ideal, and the neighborhood is perfect for taking a walk. The pool was so refreshing.if you are considering it, Book it. Our fur babies loved it too. 🌺 🐾

This property is terrific!

Jeffery went above and beyond our expectations. From check-in to checkout, everything went so smoothly. All communication was prompt and informative. The property itself is an oasis from everything surrounding. "Cottage" is the best description of the place. We really enjoyed the time spent there, and look forward to returning. Thank you so much, Jeffery.

Gorgeous, serene, private haven

Jeffery's little corner of paradise is even more lovely than the listing indicates. He has devoted SO much effort into the luxuriant gardens that surround the stunning (and BIG!) pool and the cozy hot tub. The unit itself is historic, eclectic, and super comfy. There was a pod coffee maker, coffee, and sugar provided...a small 4 burner stove/oven, microwave, and enough pots and pans to pull together pretty much anything you need to cook. (I'm a chef and I fed 6 people out of it on my first night.) It's an easy 30 minute walk to gay-central at Arenas, but the neighborhood is quiet and serene, and the pool area feels light-years away from the bustle of downtown. A gurgling fountain sits outside within earshot of the comfy bed and the private little patio outside the unit...you could spend the rest of your life here and think you had attained Enlightenment! Jeffery is a warm and friendly host. If you're dog people, he has some wonderful pups he'll let you play with, but if you're dog averse, he tends to keep them inside when guests are in the courtyard. (We wanted to play with them every chance we got, and he let us.) We were utterly enamored with the place and plan to return for a longer stay. We were only in town for 2 nights to see friends, and are now eager for a return.

About the host

Hosted by Jeffrey Nichols

Host profile image
I’m a calm and sensitive soul who values solitude as a space to recharge, reflect, and reconnect with creativity. Honoring this need allows me to fully embrace my individuality and bring imaginative flair to everything I do — including the art of hosting.

I’m a longtime Palm Springs local who’s drawn to all things fun, forward-thinking, and a little magical — like the concept of VRBO itself. With a vision for a more compassionate and inclusive world, I approach hosting with empathy, fairness, and a deep respect for personal freedom. I believe everyone deserves a safe, welcoming space to be themselves.

When I’m not walking my dogs or tending to my vintage-inspired garden, I’m often lost in thought, dreaming up ways to make each guest’s stay more restorative and memorable (which means yes, I do startle easily!). Hosting allows me to channel that energy into a peaceful guest experience, where every detail is curated with care.

Helping others feel at home isn’t just a passion — it’s one of the purest joys of my life.

Why they chose this property

420 Shiloh is nestled in the historic and soulful Tahquitz River Estates, one of Palm Springs’ most charming and walkable neighborhoods. Framed by mountain views and classic mid-century architecture, this area is ideal for guests seeking both tranquility and proximity to the action.

Just steps away, you’ll find the scenic Tahquitz Canyon Loop Trail — a 1.7-mile journey through sacred Agua Caliente land, ending at a stunning seasonal waterfall. It’s an easy-to-moderate hike with an entry fee, and well worth it for the desert beauty and spiritual serenity.

You're also less than five minutes from downtown Palm Springs, where palm-lined streets brim with art galleries, retro boutiques, and vibrant restaurants like Copley’s, Workshop Kitchen + Bar, Birba, and the charming Cipollini, known for fresh Italian flavors. Local gems include John Henry’s, a hidden supper club with old-school charm, and Bar Sisla, a stylish haunt for craft cocktails and conversation.

For nightlife and community, stroll lively Arenas Road, home to iconic LGBTQ+ bars like Quadz, Tool Shed, Hunters, and festive favorites like Oscar’s. Enjoy wine and small bites at Dead or Alive, or venture to the nearby Palm Springs Art Museum, VillageFest, and the Spa Casino for a taste of the town’s cultural and playful spirit.

Awe-inspiring Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, where rotating cars carry you 8,500 feet up into the cool alpine wilderness of Mount San Jacinto State Park — a perfect escape from the desert heat with hiking, dining, and breathtaking views..
420 Shiloh offers a peaceful home base in a neighborhood rich in history, charm, and accessibility — a sanctuary to unwind, explore, and truly celebrate your authentic self.

What makes this property unique

The Palm Springs 420 Retreat is a hidden gem — a quaint Spanish-style mini compound built in 1938, the same year Palm Springs was officially incorporated. The charming casitas, once humble garages belonging to the neighbor’s estate, have been lovingly transformed into soulful sanctuaries that whisper stories from the past. Local lore even claims that the legendary Jimi Hendrix once owned the property during its time as a bohemian bed and breakfast — and that lingering aura of creativity and freedom still hangs sweetly in the air.

Today, it lives on as a 420-friendly LGBTQIA+ retreat — a safe, welcoming space for seekers, dreamers, and free spirits to rest, recharge, and reconnect. This is not just a place to stay — it’s a place to exhale. Guests are embraced by lush gardens, vintage charm, and a deep sense of peace that comes from a home lovingly curated by someone who honors individuality, spiritual grounding, and the art of true hospitality.

As your host, I bring an empathetic, artistic touch to every detail. My goal is to create a haven where guests feel completely at ease, whether you're sunbathing in the private courtyard, stargazing from the hot tub, writing your next chapter, or just soaking in the stillness. 420 Shiloh isn’t a typical vacation rental — it’s a living storybook of healing, joy, and soul-level restoration.
