**Desert Hot Springs Mineral Water**
Desert Hot Springs, famously known as the "Spa City," is home to a variety of naturally occurring hot and cold springs that can help melt away stress, improve skin health, and enhance overall wellness. The mineral water in Desert Hot Springs contains both sodium and potassium, essential minerals that play a significant role in fluid balance within the body and are crucial for nerve conduction and muscle contraction. Additionally, silica aids in wound healing, bone building, and supports connective tissues, especially collagen.
At Koi Springs, all water, including that in the pool, spa, and pond, originates from the Mission Springs Desert Hot Springs Aquifer. Located 150 feet below the Koi Springs house, this water is naturally heated by ancient geothermal forces beneath the earth's surface to temperatures as high as 180 degrees. However, as a residential property, we cannot access the hot water aquifer reserved for spas, so the pool and spa water at Koi Springs are heated using solar panels and natural gas heaters, employing a salt chlorinating system for a gentle, healing experience.
For centuries, people have believed that this water has curative powers, and it is completely odorless. Soaking in hot mineral water, a practice known as Balneotherapy, is recognized for providing valuable nutrients that enhance blood circulation, eliminate toxins, stimulate metabolism, balance the body's natural systems, improve pH levels, and relieve pain and stress. Desert Hot Springs water is highly acclaimed as drinking water and has received numerous awards for its quality.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a coffee maker, and an ironing board. Housekeeping is available on request.

Local Oasis
I really did like the property, I could say that it's definitely better than the description and pictures much more beautiful and fully equipped. Amazing home, beautiful pool, relaxing spa, extra clean, and my favorite part has to be the bed in the master bedroom. It was so comfortable you don't want to get up.
However I must say one flaw. I was not comfortable with the fact that I received 2 messages from the host regarding noise complaint from the neighbors. It was a long weekend with family. We weren't making that much noise and it was early before 10:00 p.m. and again long weekend. You know fun quality family time at the pool of course kids are going to be loud and we're going to have music but I wasn't really that comfortable with the fact that it was brought to my attention twice.
I felt like I didn't have that much privacy even though we didn't do anything wrong and I understand they're taking care of their property and making sure everything's respected and taken care of but it didn't feel like there was that much privacy.

Unique getaway
We wanted an extended getaway in the desert and chose this home. First, the host is the best. Extremely responsive and has pride of ownership.
The home has everything you could need. Very well stocked. Great mountain views and the backyard is everything that you see in the photos.
The neighborhood is very quiet and you can have a good night's rest in peace. Comfortable bed (we only used the master bedroom).
Just a note that this is higher up than Palm Springs or Palm Desert so it's about 5 to 10 degrees cooler and there are times it's windy while it may not be 15 minutes away. While there are some places in the area for restaurants, most of the shopping and restaurants that we wanted were about 20 to 30 minutes away. The house was very well equipped so we often hung at there.

Very Zen with a wonderful view of majestic mountains
The hosts went over expectations with a welcome gift to make us feel special. The outdoor space was detailed as there was much space to relax and enjoy. Inside was clean and hosts gave us plenty of ways to enjoy the house as well. Overall we enjoyed ourselves and did not want for anything more.
