Great Property that delivered as advertised
Beds firm but comfy, everything worked well, bright and comfortable abode.
Location was OK - things out of our control were barking dogs, speeding traffic, and dodgy neighbourhood.

Centrally located for easy access to Joshua Tree National Park, Indian Canyons, Tahquitz Canyon, Palm Springs and surrounding communities. Easy to find location and super clean. We would stay here again. Thanks for your hospitality!

Spent the weekend relaxing with friends and chilling in the pool. This was perfect for us! Clean, neat and had a nice funky chill to it. A hot tub in back would be a great addition to enjoy the view of the mountains!

From the moment we walked in we felt happy. The home was bright, fun and very clean. Our teens said it was the best sleep of their life. 😊 Communication was above par! We can’t wait to stay again.

Really nicely decorated and true to the photos and well equipped house about 20 minutes from downtime Palm Springs. Great communication from host. Decent supermarkets 5 minutes away, comfy beds and a nicely set out garden space. The only detraction is there are a lot of barking dogs in the neighbourhood which is the only downside but if that doesn't bother you (doesn't seem to bother any of the neighbours) then this place is perfect for a getaway close enough to Palm Springs.
4.8
Overall good. Responsive landlord. A few barking dogs in neighborhood. Washer and dryer marginal at best.
