Welcome to our magical desert setting on open space in B-Bar-H Ranch. Our setting is a mix of the old and new - modern homes within an old cowboy ranch. Off the beaten path, our home is in the country and is a rural, relaxing getaway.
The space Join us as we celebrate the wonders of the Coachella valley in a modern and well-designed desert home with comfortable furnishings and a warm and welcoming feel.
Stunning sunrise and sunset views of Joshua Tree National Park, San Jacinto and San Gorgonio Mountains. Our beautiful home allows you expansive views of it all from a well-appointed living space.
The Modern Living Spaces homes of B-Bar-H Ranch were offered in 5 striking models. Our home is the "Brandy Alexander" and is one of the more popular models. It offers a spacious living room and kitchen area which is open to the front entrance. Both sides of the living area have sliding glass doors to private and serene settings. To the west, one sees San Jacinto and San Gorgonio out of the courtyard, while to the east one sees the open ranges of the Little Bernardino Mountains. This setting will compel you to meditate, create or just leave it all behind and relax.
Palm Springs (8 miles down the road) San Gorgonio Wilderness (Mission Creek and Whitewater) Pacific Crest Trail Joshua Tree, Pioneertown, Twentynine Palms Excellent Birding (Tanangers, Burrowing Owls, and more). Experience the great history of Desert Hot Springs, including the Cabot Yerxa Museum, shopping in the Desert Cities, and the great dining of the valley.
We love the history of B-Bar-H Ranch, formerly a Hollywood get-away. We believe in the darkness at night so that we can see the stars (and sometimes even satellites!). We love the ranch-like setting, with no security gates and a feeling of openness. Our neighborhood is an open place where friends and loved ones join in the evenings for short walks.
The Sunline #14 is available from Palm Springs and runs three times per hour along Palm Drive and Gene Autry.
The entire home is yours for the stay. Fully equipped kitchen Pool and spa (pool or spa heat additional charge based on use) New Washer and Dryer Private patios and open spaces.
The short walks with neighbors really makes the place special. We enjoy meaningful relationships with our friends in the neighborhood, yet we respect each others' need for privacy and retreat.
This is not a "gated community." Nor does it have "covenants" or other restrictions which make our home look like others'. B-Bar-H Ranch neighborhood is rural, in the country. As such, it has a mix of residents - people from all walks of life. If you are interested in peace and quiet (albeit with a few barking dogs), stunning views of mountains all around, and a relaxing place to recharge, this property will be great for you. We will do our best to accommodate our guests and make their stay a pleasant one.
We love our sense of community in the neighborhood. We respect each other's privacy yet we all keep an eye on each other. It is truly a friendly community.
Neighborly Respect - we maintain a no-noise/no-disturbance policy. Please make sure to keep voices and music to a minimum at all hours. We can't assure others will be as respectful, but we wouldn't want a noise problem to come from our house. Thank you.
Two cameras on property which record audio and video: Front Doorbell Nest Camera - captures entry and driveway. Garage Nest Camera - captures persons entering garage by car or on foot (side door), as well as workout area in garage.
Weather - our home is located in the desert of Southern California. In this region we can experience long periods of wind and sand. While we pride ourselves on the weather, periodic conditions can be less that optimal for outdoor enjoyment.

The home is lovely, the setting is peaceful, and the hosts provided for all our needs and were friendly, responsive and not at all intrusive…would go back in a heartbeat!
This location was so peaceful and nice. The hot tub and backyard area were so lovely to hang out in. Everything was very clean and well-organized. Will definitely be making it back!
Hosts were wonderful (welcomed us and gave a tour before they left).
Amazing modern villa, a luxury home away from home.
Pool and spa were amazing.
Truly a pleasure!!!
The house was very clean, spacious and welcoming, with a lot of nice touches. Beds were great, and kitchen well stocked. The owners were very nice and readily available. We loved the location - just short drives to Palm Springs and to Joshua Tree park. We loved staying at this property and would definitely stay there again!
It was the oasis I was hoping it would be. The hosts are very communicative, accesible and kind. The place has a thoughtfully styled and elevated in its charms. The pool area is private with a relaxing view of the desert. Really loved our stay.
We wanted convenience to Joshua Tree and all Palm Springs has to offer, but to be in the desert in a pool setting with mountain views and quiet solitude. This is exactly what we got in an upscale home. Hope to stay here again.
Comfortable, quiet, beautiful place in Desert Hot Springs
We really enjoyed the location which was quiet and private, but only a few minutes to Desert Hot Springs for coffee and breakfast in the morning. The house had everything we needed for a great long weekend stay. The hot tub was lovely and provided a good contrast to the um heated pool (refreshing!) The kitchen was well stocked with equipment, and it was great to have a washer and dryer. The neighborhood felt safe and the location was great for hiking and checking out restaurants in Palm Springs and surroundings. We would definitely stay here again!
The house has this mid century kind of look that you see in this area, and you can tell that the hosts have taken a lot of care with their decor. We liked hanging in the living room, and in the back patio in the mornings. There’s a nice pool and hot tub but it was cold and we didn’t want to use it. We had a look at the moon through their telescope at night, that was fun and might push me over the edge into astronomy. I had hoped we’d be able to see more stars, but there’s still a bit of light from the city. It’s only 15-20 minutes from Palm Springs, so we would go for dinner there at night, and went to Indian Wells for the tennis tournament during the day, which is 30-40 minutes away. The hosts were very conscientious and it was a pleasant stay.
This is truly a top-notch vacation home. The owners/hosts obviously work relentlessly to provide a comfy and inviting house and yard that makes you feel like you’re staying at your own private Ritz Carlton.
The pool and spa were sparkling clean, large spa with amazing powerful Jets. Great patio furniture with chaise lounges.
Inside, huge couches, smart tv, more than fully stocked kitchen, incredible beds and bedding, sparkling clean bathrooms, fast air conditioning, even a fast charger in the garage where a guest may park.
There’s so much more like the art on the walls, the architectural lines and aesthetic touches, and the amazing reading materials.
Most of all, the house had good vibes from the love given to it and its guests by Walter and Miguel, two of the nicest gentlemen in the valley.
Having VRBO and other vacation rental experience over the last 25 years, we can say with confidence that this place is one of the best of the best. Enjoy!
The hot tub warmed up fast! The pool was amazing & fairly warm (we did pay to heat it worth it)! The owners were quick to reply to any questions. It is a beautiful home & we will stay here again!
A wonderful welcoming to a beautiful nourishing place. The host is great…. I highly recommend this….. our stay was so soothing and delightful and gifting.
The home is clean and relaxing. All amenities as shown. It was a perfect getaway and central to all the valley. Thank you for an amazing stay and we hope to be back soon!
Really enjoyed the house and the kitchen (well equipped), very comfortable for 2 couples and 40-60 minutes from all the major attractions (Joshua Tree, Salton Sea, Golf, excellent birdwatching, hiking, hiking etc.
The property is beautiful, remote and quite. Any questions or concerns we had were addressed immediately. The set up of the home and layout of the house fit our families needs just right and the pool was a nice amenity that we enjoyed. Plan to visit again.
We had a wonderful stay in Walter’s house.
Communication went smoothly, everything was easy, convenient and clean.
The house is beautiful and cosy, and the view is amazing!
Would love to come back!
Beautiful, comfortable, clean and well-stocked house.
This house is a gorgeous, clean and comfortable desert home with nice mountain views. Excellent for two couples (two king beds) or a family. The home had everything you would need, including a lovely pool and a well-stocked kitchen. It is in a nice, quiet neighborhood 20 minutes or so from downtown Palm Springs. The owners were delightful and very easy to communicate with. We really enjoyed our stay, thank you!
Beautiful home; so stylish & clean. Walter & Miguel were wonderful & gracious hosts, checking in on us to be sure we were comfortable. Highly recommend!
