Great for multiple groups, your getaway is made up of a main house and a casita. The main house features an attached annex (accessed via an exterior entry) offering even more privacy. The main house features a well-equipped kitchen with a full suite of appliances, a dining area, and a welcoming living area - complete with an office nook, smart TV, and foosball table. A primary suite with a walk-in shower, a second bedroom, and a guest bathroom with a walk-in shower round out this side of the house. In the annex, another bedroom and a bonus room each offer bunk beds, while the bathroom has a walk-in shower. A game room with a wet bar, pool table, and smart TV create even more entertaining space.
Located beside the main house, the two-story casita has a living area and a sink with counter space. Upstairs, find a bedroom, a bathroom with a walk-in shower, and a private balcony.

Good property, but poor customer service
The property was clean and actually a fun place to stay, but the location was a lot farther out from Palm Springs than we realized and issues we had with the pool and communicating with the manager/owner overshadowed our stay. We visited in April, and the temps outside were still quite cool. In the listing it states the pool fees include heating the pool in the winter, but then further down states a $125/day fee (plus tax) is required to heat the pool. The main reason we chose this property was for the pool/hot tub, so after inquiring about the fees/confusion in the listing (and it took 12 days for the owner to respond. They didn’t even respond at all to another question I had), we decided to pay to have the pool heated. We got there and the pool was not warm. I repeatedly contacted the management company, hoping to resolve this issue so we could swim during our stay. They had to contact “local” representatives to get the issue resolved, and we never had anyone come fix it. We were unable to swim for our stay, except the last day, when the temps outside finally got warm enough, the cool water didn’t matter as much. I requested a refund, and we were given a partial refund, which was good (less than half), but considering it was so cold no one wanted to swim, I feel we should have gotten all but one day back, at a minimum, if not everything. This issue, in addition to the fact that communication was difficult, is why I would not recommend staying here, and wouldn’t go back.
