Was everything we expected, quiet and amenities were superb. Perfect in every way, private, modern and exclusive...we.wanted a special place to celebrate our 40-year anniversary
Barbara is an excellent host and the location of this property is one of the best in Palm Springs. I wanna keep it a secret. Peaceful and replenishing. Side note: I appreciate that there a lot of basic items left at this property ie: Sunscreen, honey, soap, toilet paper Etc..The kitchen is well stocked with herbs and spices too. Makes for a very easy stay. :)
Very welcoming host and a beautiful home and location. We had some rain, but it didn’t dampen our spirits. We went on a four mile hike starting just feet from the front gate. Breathtaking views! The property manager was also great!
House is situated in quiet, private neighborhood. 2 couples stayed and we were very comfortable. Home is close to restaurants, groceries, or whatever else you need. Lots of areas to walk. Or take a short ride into iconic neighborhoods for your morning walks. Nice public golf courses very close. Barbara and Ron are very responsive to any questions you may have. Pool area is nice. While sitting in the hot tub we spotted various wildlife on the hillside above. All in all a wonderful stay with great weather in December.
This was our fourth stay at this property. As always, everything was perfect. What keeps us coming back? The consistency in cleanliness, amenities, and comfort. We love the pool and the close proximity to restaurants.
The property was perfect for our 4-day stay. Barbara & Rob were very easy and accommodating and I would definitely recommend staying here if you are in Palm Springs.
What a great house. Just a picturesque backyard with views and nature right there. House was comfortable and had everything we needed. Pool and poolhouse were perfect for just lounging around in the sun. Close to the strip and food and fun things to go do. Would definitely stay again!
Our family really enjoyed our stay here. Great open floor plan, lots of windows/light, nice sitting areas and great privacy in the pool area.

Thrilled to have you back and know you feel a connection to this home. Glad you gals had a super time and had what you needed to enjoy yourselves fully.. Happy Holidays. Barb
We love this house. It works great for three couples that want to hike the mountains in the morning before it gets too hot and then relax poolside in the afternoon. This is a great place that we have come back to 3 times.
Loved everything about the property, amenities were great and bed was super comfy! Loved the pool and outdoor space, great to hear nature in the morning and evenings!
This place has to be one of the best vacation rentals we’ve ever stayed in. Beautifully decorated and the location was ideal. We spent a good amount of time enjoying the pool and hot tub. The kitchen was very well stocked so that we had all the pots, pans, etc we needed to prepare our Thanksgiving dinner.
This was an excellent rental. Everything you need was at the house. The owners and property manager were very helpful. The pool and spa were perfect. We enjoyed the house so much we never wanted to leave. We plan to come back again next time we visit Palm Springs. It is a 11 out of 10!
This house is great for a large group and in a fabulous location, with gorgeous views. It has everything you need for a great time away. Will definitely stay here again if we return to Palm Springs
We enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and quiet. it was very beautiful and relaxing. We enjoyed the pool and its privacy.

About the host
Hosted by Barbara
We live in a cooler, often chilly climate in Northern California. Palm Springs offers us a place to switch gears, warm our bones and provides us a delightful environment to engage nature and enjoy the many enlivening activites in the desert.
Why they chose this property
We have traveled to Palm Springs with friends starting in 2001 who owned a home in the Mesa at the time. We were excited to find a home of our own in a natural desert setting that we could renovate, enjoy and share with others!
What makes this property unique
We bought this home because of the gorgeous views and the mid-century sensibility of the home in this amazing hillside setting. When creating the landscape with its patios, pool/spa, walls and established trees we made every effort to ensure we brought the natural Palm Springs panorama into view. It is something to behold from every room and spot in and around the house!
