    Diane was very accommodating with our early morning schedule. We appreciated the early check in since our flight from the east coast was in by noon. The house was amazing…exceptionally well located and appointed. I have stayed in a lot of VRBO rentals and never been in one with such a well equipped new kitchen. All the bathrooms are also nicely updated. The floor plan is a bit quirky…and spread out and that gave our large three generation group plenty of room to gather together but also to have space when we needed it. The gardens and pool area are beautiful. Some other guest mentioned a problem with uneven steps …I am eighty years old and had no problem maneuvering the single steps up or down at some of the thresholds. We had a magnificent stay.

    We enjoyed a delightful Old Palm Springs hacienda style home with new Palm Springs features, esp. the large pool and lovely grounds! Very well managed, equipped, and maintained. Newly updated kitchen. Comfortable furnishings, with plenty of room for our family of eight. Plenty of room to park our 3 cars and possibly more. Good location for access to Palm Springs and to the surrounding area. A great choice for us.

    We had a group of 12 adults celebrating a milestone birthday and we absolutely loved this unique, comfortable, and beautiful place! Check in and check out were simple and straightforward, the property manager was readily available for any questions or needs. The rooms were all different from one another in a great way. We enjoyed using the kitchen, loved the pool and hot tub, and found everything great. We even had some unexpected poor weather, but everyone enjoyed spending time in the house, which made it no big deal! I definitely recommend this interesting house!

    This property was absolutely perfect! My family and I (11 people total) stayed in this gorgeous house for a few days and we all were heartbroken to leave. The property is gorgeous, the house impeccable and we were so glad we spent our time here while in Palm Springs. Truly felt like a resort, we didn’t ever need to leave! Communication was timely, instructions were clear. Stay here when in Palm Springs!!!

    Very cool house to stay with a group. Kitchen is fully stocked with lots of pans, plates, glasses etc (we are big on cooking so this was a plus). Two fridges which was fabulous for all the drinks and food. Pool was very clean and spacious. Lots of lounge chairs (this is rare I feel like at house rentals). Large outside table and large inside table that seated our entire group of 12! The 7th bedroom is connected to another bedroom and only has a day bed which would have been awful if we had all couples but it worked out great as one family had two kids that they wanted to keep close. Owner and property manager both respond very quick when we had questions or issues. Perfect location- very quiet area(minus landscapers ) to downtown shopping, grocery store, hiking and yummy restaurants. Highly recommend! Very relaxing space to stay!

    Lovely home with interesting architecture and great paintings and decorations. Big dining room and super comfortable living room with a bar make it a great area to mix and mingle. The pool is exceptional with a lot of seating, lounges and umbrellas, looking out at the mountains.

    Our group had a great stay at this house. It was well stocked with essentials like shampoo, conditioner, and kitchen tools. The space is both beautiful and comfortable, and we enjoyed relaxing by the pool. The proximity to restaurants and bars made it the perfect girls weekend getaway!
