5 bdrm, 3.5 bth Private Luxury retreat with mountain views! Permit #068365

House is lovely, well-located, perfect for larger families and groups. So much space for the kids to play, and the adults love having backdoor access to several great trails.

The kids LOVED this place! The pictures of the property are absolutely accurate. This is a very professionally managed house. (There are even labels on all the drawers in the kitchen.) As light sleepers though, this property was not for us. The close proximity to a very busy road was rough. Zoom zoom all night long. And the trailhead across the street opens up at 5:30 am. There are alarms chirping and chatter starting very early. Overall, it's a fun house for kids, but we wouldn't stay here again.

Pool/hot tub gave most of us bad rash. Alerted the owner and property manager, pool guy confirmed a higher than normal reading. So we were not able to enjoy the pool the entire trip.. Owner did not offer to try and make it right in any way…

This property is really beautiful, next to a great desert hiking trail, in an upscale community, and only 35 minutes to Palm Springs and 1 hour to Joshua Tree NP. We stayed for a week with family friends — 7 adults, 5 kids and 2 dogs in all — and had room to spread out. We used the excellent hot tub/pool twice per day, drank coffee on the porch, played on the basketball court, cooked dinners in the well-equipped kitchen, and watched movies and played games at night. It was a relaxing retreat and a great base for exploring the area..

The photos for this property are spot on so if they compel you to book, I can say you'll be even more pleased in person. We had 5 children 6 years and younger and this home is made for families with young kids. I cannot recommend it enough if you're looking to have a good family getaway in the desert.

We stayed for four days in February. The house itself is largely as pictured, with some mild wear and tear. The pool and hot tub were lovely. The playground equipment and play room were very nice and lots of fun for kids. The house itself is at the end of la Quinta cove at the trailhead. The neighborhood is ok. There is some road noise and noise from cars parking and leaving the trails lot. The back yard has a nice table for dining and grill and heaters. The trash should be kept somewhere else though because of the smell. The kitchen is stocked fairly well with cups and plates and some ok cookware. I think the price point of this house is somewhat inflated due to covid and the kid stuff included on property. It desperately needs nicer linens, pillows, and towels.

The house was well equip. The playroom, pool, and playground were a big hit with the kids. We had a difficult time with the thermostat controls, but the manager, Amanda came right over to help us with it and she checked back with me the very next day to make sure it was working properly. ? The regular coffee pot wasn’t working properly, but they had a Kerig which we used. We had a great time.

We stayed here over Christmas with our family of 10, including 4 children under 5. It was an awesome house to entertain kids during Covid when we were trying to stay in the house as much as possible. We stayed in the house all week besides a couple quick hikes on the great trails that are directly behind the house. The kids had an absolute blast! The room with the built in playhouse/slide also had a cute table and chairs, kitchen toys, and a large castle. Between that kid heaven and the outdoor swings, climbing toys, and of course the awesome (and also super kid friendly) pool, the kids were totally entertained the whole time! Loved that the pool had a fence and a cover for ultimate kid safety. There are also lawn games! Kids would fall asleep early every night from playing hard all day (score!) The adults had a great time too- we all enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and well-appointed kitchen. We had one little issue and the property manager responded promptly and adequately. House is not as spotless/brand new as the pictures make it seem. It’s been “lived-in” a bit since those pictures, but still very nice. Kitchen had everything we needed to make all our meals at home, but could use a few new pans. We’d come again (we might need to soon as our kids are already begging to go back!)

This property is amazing! Truly from the moment you enter the gate you are awed. The house is beautiful and spotless. The layout is a little quirky but works. Since you are at the trailhead, be aware that there is wildlife. My husband came face to face with a mountain lion in the front yard, literally. It took off when he flashed the flashlight on it...but WOW. Beautiful place. The grounds are spectacular. And Amanda was quick and responsive which is really what matters in these rentals. Would absolutely stay there again!

Great well equipped house for families. If you are sensitive to road noise though could be a problem. The road is behind the house. Not very busy road but still can hear. Otherwise great house.
