We found a true gem in the desert. We had a wedding close by and this house was perfect for our entire family to get ready for the big day. The house is very spacious and clean. The decor is also very stylish and still kid friendly. We enjoyed the firepit and hot tub the entire time. The owner is very helpful and quick to respond to any messages. This house was about a 15-20 min drive to the heart of Palm Springs and is a great spot if you have a large group in town. It's quite and a great retreat. We will be staying here again if we are visiting again.
