Communication with the property manager was always great and friendly. We had a bit of a hiccup checking in, but Juan was always supper attentive and responsive. We needed a place where our kids would be comfortable for a couple of days as we were in and out of a wedding and this was perfect. We would definitely stay here again if needed. ##### Lupita L.

Dog was welcomed with a special bed that she loved. People beds were comfortable too. Kitchen is well equipped and, if we had chosen to cook extensively at home, we would have had what we needed. It's about a 20 minute drive to Palm Springs which gave us the ability to enjoy a spectacular view of the snow capped mountains. Would recommend this property highly. ##### Dori F.

When I had questions the host Juan was on it. Thank you again Juan. ##### Joe G. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Samuel 26 Jul 2024 All door ways to bathroom and bedrooms were very small especially the bathrooms not wheelchair accessible, stains on furniture and a lot of things need to be looked at especially the front door gets Jamed and hard to open also WiFi passwords need to be displayed and last thing as a a person who went through 3rd person vendor communication was a little confusing never got a response on Expedia when I messaged ##### Samuel Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Brooke M. 16 Apr 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Hottub Mildew Machine The property looks mostly as advertised. My guests and I came to relax and get in the hottub. Unfortunately, we weren't able to enjoy that amenity, as it was dirty, smelly and covered in mildew. The owner claimed it is cleaned weekly, but that seems to be untrue as there was dirt on the walls of the hot tub and Grey bubbles. There were other cleanliness issues, including the general smell of the house, towels left in the washer and dust that looks like it's been there since before Covid was an issue. Smell is generally an easy issue to remedy but the candles were all empty and set out purely for decoration. The bedrooms appeared as advertised but there were crumbs in the sheets at the foot of the bed, an indication that the beds were made but sheets were not changed. Not a place I would come back to, or encourage anyone else to use either. ##### Brooke M. Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cameron S., Seattle, WA 14 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great find in the Palm Springs area We stayed at this property for a remote "work-cation" of just under three weeks. The home was clean and well maintained, and well-located to access either downtown Palm Springs or outdoor activities in the Joshua Tree National Park area. The backyard was a typical Desert Southwest lawn, i.e. lots of rocks and dirt, but fine for what we needed which was a fully-fenced area for our dog to run around in off leash. If you need greenery around you, there is a nice fully-fenced private courtyard-type area in front of the house that makes for a great oasis. The proprietor Juan was very responsive before and during the rental, which was very much appreciated. ##### Cameron S.
