About this property
5 Star Luxury Villa overlooking Palm Springs
Always best to contact Manager prior to requesting booking. Desertknoll d ot ne t
Desert Knoll is a beautiful luxury home on 1/3 of an acre on a great location in the hills above Palm Springs. Desert Knoll isolates its guests from neighbors, street and wind with privacy hedges and trees on three sides, yet it provides sweeping 270* vistas of the desert, mountains and a great southern exposure. From the moment you enter the front gate you'll enjoy the impressive desert modern architecture, high end finishes, stylish modern furnishings, and gorgeous artwork in this steel, glass and concrete masterpiece.
Desert Knoll is conveniently located 5 minutes from downtown Palm Springs, on a quiet street overlooking the Coachella Valley with the San Jacinto Mountains right behind it. Maximum Occupancy is limited to 6 adults and 2 children under 12. Daytime guests are limited to 4 and this is Not A Party or Event House, prior approval required for one pet only. Pool heating is optional and charged separately. City of Palm Springs ID #2392
Desert Knoll is designed with an eye to the classic contemporary architecture that defines the Palm Springs lifestyle; open & exciting. The flat roof, 14' ceilings, clean lines and wide expanses of glass provide panoramic views, abundant natural light, and erase the line between indoors & out for seamless living & entertaining. At first look, the house blends in perfectly with the desert terrain; huge boulders accented with natural landscaping indigenous to the area. As you approach the tall glass entry, you'll immediately understand the scale & volume of the house. The oversized entry hall with towering ceilings is formal, yet inviting. Desert Knoll was built for entertaining in style. The giant sliding walls of glass in the living room disappear into the wall to make a large open-air pavilion facing the new black bottom rock pool and view, providing plenty of lounge seating for everyone, either in front of the indoor living room wood fireplace or around the outdoor fire pit.
The large modern chef's kitchen features high end appliances from A to Z and has a convenient pass-through breakfast bar to the living/dining room. It also provides added privacy for dinner party preparations with a butler's pantry directly behind the kitchen, where you'll find an extra ice machine, wine refrigerator and laundry facilities. For extra flexibility, there are additional large-capacity laundry facilities in the garage. In addition to the generously sized dining table for eight in the main living area, there is an additional outdoor dining table for eight and a gas barbecue grill just outside the kitchen.
Once inside, the walls and gates that secure the property and protect its privacy, the setting is a verdant green tropical landscape dotted with gorgeous outdoor furniture that has a luxurious cooling effect to the eye & the senses.
The Master suite offers a King size bed, walk-in closet and generous private bathroom with jetted soaking tub and walk-in rain shower, as well as a private sitting patio outside the bathroom and second patio facing the pool. The second Master bedroom features a King size bed that can be separated into Twin beds when needed, a private bathroom with walk-in shower, and a private patio off the bathroom. The third bedroom has a King size bed, a built-in desk space and direct access to the pool. In the hallway just outside this bedroom is a full guest bathroom with walk-in shower. All three bedrooms feature brand new comfortable beds and quality linens, so everyone gets a 'good bedroom' in this luxury home.
One of the best features of Desert Knoll is the private pool deck out back. The sparkling blue swimming pool, bubbling spa and shaded lounge area with water misters and a gas fire pit are great places to hang out with a cocktail and enjoy the view to such well-known neighborhoods as Little Tuscany, Chino Canyon, Old Las Palmas and Vista Las Palmas in the foreground, all the way to South Palm Springs in the distance. In New Years, sit back and enjoy the fireworks with a cocktail in your hand.
The house is protected by a 24 hour alarm system and it has high capacity WiFi for the house and grounds. Each room is equipped with a large flat screen HDTV, and a Bluetooth sound bar in the living room next to the 65' HDTV.
The house has a large book selection of diverse topics, various water toys and floats, multiple toys for 1 year olds to 5 or so, a golf rack for your clubs and shoes,
Desert Knoll strives to be as green as possible. It has a 60 panel solar system, LED lighting, desert landscaping were possible, smart appliances and smart home features.
The home is stocked with high quality linens and towels. The baths and the kitchen are stocked with soaps, shampoos and paper supplies to help start your stay.

The hand you for being our guests and can’t wait to have you back again. Desertknoll
The host was wonderful, helpful and responsive. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you would need. The pool and spa has beautiful views of Palm Springs. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms, all lovely. I was introduced to a new neighborhood in Palm Springs that is very quiet and is a true desert experience. This property is absolutely great. Thank you, we enjoyed our stay.
We stayed for 4 nights and it was perfect for our family - kids loved pool and we loved the house. Robert extremely helpful and everything was perfect!
We absolutely loved our stay in Palm Springs. The property was gorgeous and it's in a wonderful location. Robert was a fabulous host and always a text or phone call away. My family highly recommends the property.
Property was as beautiful as pictures denote! Gorgeous property inside and out! And great communication by property manger, Robert! Couldn’t be better!
Robert was very helpful and always available. The house had everything we needed and more. The kitchen was well equipped, the house staples (soaps, paper products, spices) were well stocked. The pool can be heated to 86 and the spa hotter. Loved the seating for dinner. Both outside and inside tables could seat 8. We would rent again.
A lovely spacious property with everything you need for a relaxing vacation. The space is akin to having your own private resort. Very peaceful and serene.
Wonderful home nestled against the mountains. Private and nicely appointed with cathedral ceilings , floor to ceiling windows, pool and jacuzzi , spacious bedrooms and fully stocked kitchen. We enjoyed our visit.
Amazing time at Desert Knoll. Wonderful property and Robert was great communicating everything for the stay there. Already recommended the property to family coming to the area.
Beautiful property - exactly as described. Pool and hot tub were fantastic. Great neighborhood. We had everything we needed and more! Also, great communication with the property manager/owner. Highly recommend!!
The home was amazing, clean, spacious and simply beautiful. We took full advantage of the lovely pool and property with our party of 6. Robert was super responsive and check-in was easy and seamless. I would highly recommend the place and we hope to come back again soon!
