Excellent Stay!

My stay here was excellent. I needed a weekend away and wanted a private residence with a pool. The location was great, the property was beautiful and the resident cat “Dutchess” was awesome! Margarette answered all my questions and is a great host. I will definitely be coming back soon.

Wonderful, unique property. Margret is a fantastic host. The room was exceptionally clean and well appointed. The grounds (pool, spa, fire pit) were outstanding. Such a great spot to come home to after a busy day in the desert. Can’t wait to return.

Peaceful courtyard garden

The garden courtyard made my stay great! The small pool was refreshing and just long enough for an invigorating few laps. In the garden I met and chatted with fellow travelers and the host. Lovely. The place is quiet but close to Palm Desert's concentration of restaurants and shops. Great location.
