About this house rental
Always best to contact Manager prior to requesting booking. Desertknoll d ot ne t
Desert Knoll is a beautiful luxury home on 1/3 of an acre on a great location in the hills above Palm Springs. Desert Knoll isolates its guests from neighbors, street and wind with privacy hedges and trees on three sides, yet it provides sweeping 270* vistas of the desert, mountains and a great southern exposure. From the moment you enter the front gate you'll enjoy the impressive desert modern architecture, high end finishes, stylish modern furnishings, and gorgeous artwork in this steel, glass and concrete masterpiece.
Desert Knoll is conveniently located 5 minutes from downtown Palm Springs, on a quiet street overlooking the Coachella Valley with the San Jacinto Mountains right behind it. Maximum Occupancy is limited to 6 adults and 2 children under 12. Daytime guests are limited to 4 and this is Not A Party or Event House, prior approval required for one pet only. From June 1st to September 1, there is a $15/day electricity fee. (System will automatically add to other dates, we will take off when that happens. ) Pool heating is optional and charged separately. City of Palm Springs ID #2392
Desert Knoll is designed with an eye to the classic contemporary architecture that defines the Palm Springs lifestyle; open & exciting. The flat roof, 14' ceilings, clean lines and wide expanses of glass provide panoramic views, abundant natural light, and erase the line between indoors & out for seamless living & entertaining. At first look, the house blends in perfectly with the desert terrain; huge boulders accented with natural landscaping indigenous to the area. As you approach the tall glass entry, you'll immediately understand the scale & volume of the house. The oversized entry hall with towering ceilings is formal, yet inviting. Desert Knoll was built for entertaining in style. The giant sliding walls of glass in the living room disappear into the wall to make a large open-air pavilion facing the new black bottom rock pool and view, providing plenty of lounge seating for everyone, either in front of the indoor living room wood fireplace or around the outdoor fire pit.
The large modern chef's kitchen features high end appliances from A to Z and has a convenient pass-through breakfast bar to the living/dining room. It also provides added privacy for dinner party preparations with a butler's pantry directly behind the kitchen, where you'll find an extra ice machine, wine refrigerator and laundry facilities. For extra flexibility, there are additional large-capacity laundry facilities in the garage. In addition to the generously sized dining table for eight in the main living area, there is an additional outdoor dining table for eight and a gas barbecue grill just outside the kitchen.
Once inside, the walls and gates that secure the property and protect its privacy, the setting is a verdant green tropical landscape dotted with gorgeous outdoor furniture that has a luxurious cooling effect to the eye & the senses.
The Master suite offers a King size bed, walk-in closet and generous private bathroom with jetted soaking tub and walk-in rain shower, as well as a private sitting patio outside the bathroom and second patio facing the pool. The second Master bedroom features a King size bed that can be separated into Twin beds when needed, a private bathroom with walk-in shower, and a private patio off the bathroom. The third bedroom has a King size bed, a built-in desk space and direct access to the pool. In the hallway just outside this bedroom is a full guest bathroom with walk-in shower. All three bedrooms feature brand new comfortable beds and quality linens, so everyone gets a 'good bedroom' in this luxury home.
One of the best features of Desert Knoll is the private pool deck out back. The sparkling blue swimming pool, bubbling spa and shaded lounge area with water misters and a gas fire pit are great places to hang out with a cocktail and enjoy the view to such well-known neighborhoods as Little Tuscany, Chino Canyon, Old Las Palmas and Vista Las Palmas in the foreground, all the way to South Palm Springs in the distance. In New Years, sit back and enjoy the fireworks with a cocktail in your hand.
The house is protected by a 24 hour alarm system and it has high capacity WiFi for the house and grounds. Each room is equipped with a large flat screen HDTV, DVD players and Bluetooth docking radio clocks. There is Netflix, Amazon, HBO and more available in every room and living room. There is a 2 zone Bluetooth high end stereo system that covers the whole house, plus a Bluetooth sound bar in the living room next to the 55' HDTV with DVD. There is also a printer, scanner, fax for your basic office needs and a small 10 bottle wine refrigerator for your better vintages.
The house has a large book selection of diverse topics, various water toys and floats, multiple toys for 1 year olds to 5 or so, a golf rack for your clubs and shoes,
Desert Knoll strives to be as green as possible. It has a 60 panel solar system, LED lighting, desert landscaping were possible, smart appliances and smart home features. It also boasts a large back up gas powered generator for the more than occasional PS power outage.
The home is stocked with high quality linens and towels. The baths and the kitchen are stocked with soaps, shampoos and paper supplies to help start your stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed the peace, quiet and privacy offered by Desert Knoll. The house is well stocked and is unquestionably one of the more complete rentals we've stayed at. Robert's communication, flexibility and warmth was outstanding, we'll definitely be back.

This luxury home is everything it is described to be and Robert was a wonderful and gracious property owner. The views from the patio and pool are ahhhmazing and the pool itself is an oasis of calm and relaxation. The neighborhood is among the best in Palm Springs and the home was filled with confirta included thick towels, soft bedding and a fully sticked kitchen. This home is a wonderful gem and a step above your typical vacation rental.
5.0
Throughout the years, we have vacationed at many rental homes and by far this property has been the best. We appreciated the privacy that this property offers and the quiet neighborhood. All of the amenities on the property are of high caliber. Almost all of our meals were enjoyed by the exceptional backyard pool area. You'll love the manicured backyard garden area and the inside of the house is very roomy. We would recommend this property to our family and friends without hesitation.. We love this place so much that we plan on vacationing here every summer.

Could not have been more perfect! We stayed 11 nights at Desert Knoll and had such a wonderful time. The home is beautiful and perfectly located just a few miles from downtown. Desert Knoll is spacious, clean, and fully equipped. We spent most of our time on a raft in the pool surrounded by palm trees and silence! :)
Check-in & out went smoothly and communication with Robert was easy and efficient. We would definitely return!!
5.0
This well appointed home was open and quite spacious and nicely decorated. It has a well-stocked kitchen and nice outdoor furniture not only around the pool area but also in intimate nooks around the property. The grounds themselves were designed well and provided lots of privacy. The location is close to downtown yet very quiet.
We happened to visit during several days of high winds but because the home was angled thoughtfully, we could still enjoy the patio and pool areas. We were very happy with this home and would recommend it for anyone looking for a wonderful get - away.

The home was lovely. Very nicely furnished, very well stocked with everything you need for your stay. The pool was smaller than it appeared in the photos, but we enjoyed it nonetheless. Robert was very helpful and responsive with any of our questions. We would highly recommend this home!

This house was perfect for our 3rd Annual Girlfriends Getaway! The pool/hot tub quickly became our hangout spot nearly all day! Robert was very responsive before and during our trip. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. Each bedroom was big enough for two girls to share.
This was our 3rd trip to Palm Springs and hands down Desert Knoll was the best place we’ve stayed! We will be returning next year for sure. Thank you for making our trip so relaxing and fun!

The is by far the very best vacation rental I have ever experienced. we had a wonderful and relaxing time. Robert is an amazing host and even contacted us twice after check-in and once before check-out. He really went above and beyond. This villa was amazing and worked very well for our three generations of family at the holidays. Five stars are not enough - I would give it ten stars!

Really nicely appointed, clean property. Comfortable place to hang out with our adult family. Enjoyed both interior and outside living areas. Robert's communication was superb! He texted at arrival to ensure we got in ok and had found everything to our satisfaction. He also texted mid-stay to see if everything was good.

This Property is amazing. My wife and I spent 3 weeks in October 2023 . Very relaxing. Everything you might think of needing it was available. The property was very modern and clean. The house was located in a unique area of Palm Springs , slightly up the mountain side and extremely quiet. Heated pool/Spa and lawn maintenance occurred on schedule. This house is the best my wife and I have rented in the PS area the past 5 years. The Property Manager/owner is very accommodating and easy to deal with on any matter. He even offered to have maid service within our stay if we wished. Would return in the future to this house if our schedule works out . Good value for the $.

Our stay here was absolutely peaceful, beautiful and met every expectation. The host Robert was so kind and readily available in a timely manner, for any and all questions. Not only is this home gorgeous but also very clean and had plenty of supplies. We had a fun stay with our adult son and enjoyed the beautiful pool & spa daily. The neighborhood was so quiet and peaceful. Everything is in working condition. Also the gorgeous landscaping enhanced the whole vibe. This is hands down one of our favorite stays from VRBO. Not only will we be returning customers but we will recommend to our friends & family!

Our adult family of five enjoyed this home. The pool, hot tub and garden were a treat. We spent a lot of time enjoying the hot tub, as well as in the spacious living room watching the World Cup. An ideal home for our family Thanksgiving vacation. Thanks Robert.

We are 3 women college friends celebrating a 60th birthday and wanted a really nice house to stay at while celebrating in Palm Springs. The house was beautiful, clean, quiet and high tech! The owner Robert is a really nice man who even gave us suggestions as to where to get excellent pastries! Robert had a manual laid out by the front door that helps you with how things worked in the home which could be a little overwhelming as there is a lot of information, so make time to read it! We did have a problem in that the water heater was not turned on upon arrival so we were a little shocked to get in the showers and have it be cold! But...Robert does address what to do if the water heater is off in the manual so we were able to remedy this issue without bothering him. We were also a little confused as to how to heat the jacuuzi and texted Robert who immediately turned it on (remotely) for us, so he was on top of it and readily available. We did figure out how to turn it on after referring to the manual in subsequent uses. If you are looking for a party house, this is not it. The neighborhood is beautiful and really quiet (which we wanted) and it is stressed that there is to be no outside music or loudness. If you are using the jacuuzi, we suggest speaking really quietly as noise carries and this is a quiet, residential neighborhood. So if you are looking to get raucous, this is NOT the place. But if you are looking for a lovely, clean, quiet, well located home, THIS is it!!!! It says in the contract if you leave the property in excellent condition you can receive a partial refund of your cleaning deposit! We will see as we left the property pristine, with dishes washed and put away and even started the wash of the bedding...So...you never know, it can't hurt to try!
Thank you so much Robert for a wonderful stay in your beautiful home! You helped make my friend's birthday stay a one of a kind experience and really special!!!

Our stay was great. The house is beautiful and as advertised. Amazing indoor/outdoor living. Pool and hot tub were great as was the massive fire pit. Any issues were quickly addressed with excellent communication the entire stay.

My wife and I just returned from two wonderful weeks at Desert Knoll. Our host, Robert, was a delight. Very responsive and quick to politely answer even our most basic (read that as stupid) questions ( yeah, the air conditioning does not work when a door is open, JUST LIKE IT SAYS ON THE STICKER ON EVERY SINGLE DOOR). The outdoor areas were amazing - a view of the mountains or the valley in every direction, with glimpses of the lights from the tram at night. Wonderful large, modern, fully equipped kitchen, huge living room with comfortable seating, great dining area - could not ask for more. The location is great - up the hill enough to feel like you are out of the city, but close to everything. We loved our stay (as you can tell) and hope to return next year. It was our favorite visit to PS to date, thanks to Robert and Desert Knoll.
5.0
Home was very well maintained and clean. Location - close enough to drive downtown and to restaurants in a short few minutes, however, enough off the beaten path that it was very quiet and relaxing. The outdoor entertaining area was amazing! Pool was great and outdoor fire pit and hot tub was great for the cooler fall evenings. Kitchen was extremely week equipped. Home owner provided bottled water and fresh fruit, wonderful touch. Beds were a little older, however, toppers were comfortable and a nice added touch. Plenty of towels for pool and showers. Come to PS twice a year and will definitely be back to visit and book again.

We had a nice time with our parents and son. The location was clean and well appointed. The only minus was that the hot tub did not heat due to a fuse issue. Otherwise, Robert was responsive and timely.

This house is a wonderful rental. It was extremely clean and felt like a resort. Robert was helpful and we had zero problems with check-in. The house is clean with everything you can possibly imagine to make your stay comfortable. The beds are extremely comfortable and there were great pool towels. The house is located only a few minutes from downtown Palm Springs in a gem of a neighborhood. It is extremely quiet and if I could give this property 10 stars, I would! You will love this home and location for a Palm Springs getaway!
