While the grounds & outdoor amenities were wonderful (tennis court, sprawling lawns & pool), the house itself is tired, in need of updating in key areas & not adequately furnished in the living areas to be comfortable for groups over 5 on extended stay. We give the grounds 5 stars. Natural Retreats 5 stars for ease of communication & the check-in/out process. But house needs improvements in wiring, several of the bathrooms & furnishings. Also note, one of the bedrooms is in a converted garage bay so to access main house you have to go through an adjoining bedroom or go outside & enter house through an exterior door. This is not mentioned in listing. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 12 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer L. 6 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### We felt like Old Hollywood Movie Stars!

Between the great location and beautiful views, I had such a wonderful time. Plenty of room and a perfect set up for a large group. Beautiful views from the backyard while laying out and swimming the pool. Also had a BBQ one night and it had a perfect area to both grill and hang out with friends. Then ending each night with the hot tub was phenomenal. Just sitting while looking at the stars was the perfect way to wind down. It was all around amazing weekend and the staff at natural retreats was so friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend this estate to anyone is looking for an awesome getaway to Palm Springs! ##### Paul C. ### 8/10 Good #### Edward R., Grosse Pointe, MI 28 Feb 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect spot for families Beautiful home and location.
