Biskra Oasis in Rancho Mirage is Ideal for Sun Seekers of all ages who prioritize Sun, Space, and Serenity....

Welcome to your perfect desert escape in beautiful Rancho Mirage. Nestled in the highly desirable Magnesia Falls Cove neighborhood, this classic California ranch-style home blends traditional charm with a touch of mid-century modern flair—set on an estate-sized lot designed for peace, privacy, and pure relaxation.

Wake up to sunshine, soak in panoramic mountain views, and enjoy effortless access to hiking, golf, shopping, dining, spas, and theaters—all within a mile of your front door.

The Ideal Desert Lifestyle, Right in Your Backyard

Step outside to a private backyard oasis made for long, leisurely days. Float in the heated pool or unwind in the Jacuzzi. Sip your morning coffee under the full-length shaded patio or practice your short game on the 5-hole putting green. There’s even a regulation horseshoe pit for a little friendly competition. Stay connected with fast WiFi, or unplug and gaze at the stars in a night sky free of city lights.

Biskra Oasis Offers Spacious & Comfortable Interiors

Inside, the main house features three bedrooms and two full baths. The open-concept kitchen, lounge, and living room create a bright, airy space ideal for hosting guests or enjoying a quiet evening. The fully equipped kitchen with a generous bar counter is ready for all your cooking adventures—or fire up the propane BBQ for sunset grilling.

Main Suite: King bed, private bathroom with shower, walk-in closet, and vanity.

Guest Room 1: King bed, large closet.

Guest Room 2: Two queen beds, large closet.

Each room includes a flat-screen smart TV.

The detached Casita offers even more privacy with a queen bed, bathroom, kitchenette, A/C, and smart TV—perfect for visiting family or friends or to use as a remote office.

Evenings Done Right...

As the sun sets, gather around the fire pit or soak in the hot tub under the stars. The 360° views of the San Jacinto Mountains and Coachella Valley will take your breath away.

Explore the Area...

Take a morning walk to The River for shopping or dining, or drive a few minutes to the renowned El Paseo shopping district. Dozens of scenic hiking trails are nearby—keep an eye out for local wildlife, including the iconic Bighorn Sheep.

Quiet, spacious, clean and private.

We loved our stay at this very well equipped and comfortable house with an amazing, private backyard. The hosts went out of their way to make sure that we had everything that we needed during our six week stay. The neighborhood is very quiet and conveniently located close to shops and restaurants. Our house burned down in the LA fires, and we were desperate to find a place where we could collect our thoughts, get organized and process our loss. Their kindness and compassion went above and beyond what we expected.

Everything you could need or ask for in a getaway!

We had an amazing time, from pre-arrival to check-in and throughout our stay there wasn’t anything we felt was missing or could have been better. The property has so much to do, games, areas to lounge, the pool, putting & chipping area, we were outside most of the time enjoying the backyard and the weather. The neighborhood was quiet & safe and close to everything! Inside the decor was fun but functional and comfortable, especially the beds and the kitchen had everything we needed for cooking at home. It was perfect!

Look no further! Book now!

I've rented plenty of places via VRBO over the years. And a few in Palm Springs area. But I can honestly say Biskra Oasis has been my all time favorite. If you are even slightly considering booking, do yourself a favor and just say yes! The house is perfect. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. The pool area is great for unwinding or some fun. The yard has plenty of activiites. And an amazing gas powered fire pit! The location is walkable to coffee, restaurants, and hiking! The owners are so communicative and helpful. I could not have asked for a better experience! Book now!

Great getaway!

We had a wonderful time at the Biskra Oasis! The property is well equipped and maintained with a beautiful pool and hot tub, 5 hole golf course, horse shoes, and a fire pit. Our kids had a great time with all of it! The owners were very responsive to questions and It was a very smooth process! Location is great too- very close to the outdoor mall and restaurants (though we didn’t go there due to the pandemic)

Fun family getaway

Our family of 5 felt right at home in this lovingly decorated and comfortable house! Down to the details, the house is a nice retro mid-century style with cute decor items to complete the vibe. The open floor plan made it easy for everyone to be together, and yet there was plenty of space for each of us to spread out or have some quiet time alone. The pool was clean and the outdoor space was enjoyable and well landscaped- our kids had a blast in the pool, and we could relax in the covered outdoor seating areas. The kitchen and grill were stocked with everything you could need for meals at home- there were even board games and card games to enjoy. In the evening, adults enjoyed the hot tub with convenient main bedroom access- even a comfy outdoor bed for lounging under the stars. We didn’t use the extra casita space, but it looked neat and cozy for another couple (or older kids.) Our host was very accommodating and attentive, and we we felt welcomed as soon as we arrived. The whole family enjoyed the stay, and we can’t wait to return.

Mother's Indian Wells getaway

Definitely a good place for moms to relax and enjoy the relative peace/ quiet of not having to helicopter our own kids for a few days. After a 5 hour day of playing tennis ( Indian Wells tournament was cancelled due to Covid 19), the pool and hot tub was a must. Cute mid century mod theme, just not done with their update at the time we were there. We didn't have hot water for the first 24 hours, but the owners tried to get it taken care of as soon as possible. By the time we played tennis, swam and hot tubbed, water was fixed in time for us to take hot showers in the early evening. All in all, a good place for a moment of respite.

Even better than expected!

Our extended family (2 parents, 3 kids, grandma and aunt) just stayed at the Biskra Oasis and the house had everything we needed and more! The house is even bigger and better than it looks in the photos! There was easily room for the 7 of us, with plenty of space in the kitchen and living room for lots of great family meals and games and the backyard offered SO much! The pool and hot tub were well heated and the kids enjoyed the putting green and horseshoes, while the adults enjoyed morning coffee and evening drinks outside with breathtaking views! The neighborhood is lovely and quiet and close to restaurants, shopping and hiking trails. The homeowners were readily available both before and during our visit with local recommendations and helpful hints and they responded very quickly to any and all inquiries. We had other family members who rented a much more expensive house nearby, but the Biskra Oasis was the clear winner in every way! Thank you especially to Megan, who even offered great recommendations for when we traveled on to LA after Palm Springs!

Great home in perfect location!

Your home was ideal for our 2 families. We loved the location in Rancho Mirage - near a park with lighted tennis and pickle ball courts, minutes from shops and restaurants, and centrally located in the desert to get to golf courses. Tucked into a quiet neighborhood we enjoyed ALL the home’s backyard activities as well as the casita. We would love to return next year!

Very Nice Property

We just stayed here for four nights with two other couples, and found the property to be everything they said it was. Beautiful swimming pool and spa, and almost anything you need inside. 1950's era retro décor. Pretty cute. Room for four couples, if you include the detached casita. The property manage was extremely helpful and courteous as well.

Beautiful Home in a Great Location

We really enjoyed our time in Biskra Oasis. The owners were quick in responding to our rental inquiry and the rental process was flawless. The home is located in a quiet residential area where palm trees and fruit trees line the streets. We loved the view from the back yard as we sat at the patio table with our morning coffee. The home was spacious and all the features of the home (BBQ, spa, pool, coffee maker...) were in perfect working condition. We will definitely be booking this home again.

The property was exactly like the pictures depicted. We had a fabulous Thanksgiving weekend. My granddaughters spent much of their time in the pool or putting on the putting green. The house was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked with cooking pots & pans and utensils. The property is close to El Paseo and other shopping venues.

We loved every minute of our stay at the Biskra Oasis

Huge thanks to Dan, John & Megan for making such a beautiful home as the Biskra Oasis available to us. We loved our time here - this gracious desert home is beautiful and welcoming. Pool and spa time was wonderful. And the special amenities of horseshoes and a putting green gave us lots of fun things to do together right on the property. Really, there just isn't another place as beautiful as this that offers so much! To top things off, Biskra Oasis is situated at the gorgeous top of the Magnesia Falls Cove near Porcupine Creek, surrounded by dramatic mountains and overlooking the entire Coachella Valley - you wil want to be outside on the elegant outdoor seating area, relaxing every afternoon with time to enjoy the amazing magic hour before sunset as different shades and hues are painted on the mountains. For things to do in Palm Springs or down in La Quinta, we found Rancho Mirage to be a convenient twenty-minute drive in either direction. Grocery stores are literally five minutes away - as is the elegant El Paseo shopping district. Biskra Oasis delivered for our week in the desert!

Fantastic Home in Great Location

I have been going to Palm Springs area with the same group of girlfriends for 11 years. This year we stayed here rather than renting the home we previously stayed at our first 10 years. The home is immaculate, well laid out for our group of 5 and the location is fantastic. The pool/golf/bocce areas plus outside seating areas including the fire pit were very much enjoyed. The owners were very responsive when we called to ask a couple questions re: kitchen utensils/appliances. The ease of getting keys and returning them was a breeze. We will definitely be back! Highly recommend staying here.

About the host

Hosted by JOHN HIXSON or DAN LEMIEUX

Both Dan & John are Los Angeles natives. Growing up in the small beach community of Manhattan and Redondo Beach Ca.

Dan is in real estate development and property management, while John works in the film industry. Going to the desert with our family and friends for a quick weekend get away has been therapeutic in so many ways. Book a month and see how this home and all its amenities can change your life :)

Why they chose this property

Our love of golf and the peaceful desert ambience drew us to this neighborhood. The property if far enough from the 111 to avoid traffic noise but close enough to walk to The River for dinner, drinks, or a movie. When we are not renting we are here golfing. hiking, and enjoying all the desert has to offer.
