Currently, we spend between 4-16 working hours to clean each rental property after every reservation and have enhanced our check-out cleaning procedures to pay close attention to all details, specifically disinfecting all surfaces with anti-bacterial solutions. We frequently change all HVAC filters and clean pools twice weekly to help ensure optimal cleanliness as well.

- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS -
WHAT TIME IS CHECK-IN AND CHECK OUT? Check in is after 3PM local time, and check out is no later than 11AM. Early check in and late check out may be available for your reservation upon request. Please reach out for the cost and availability.
WILL I NEED TO MEET THE PROPERTY MANAGER TO GET A KEY? All TRAVLR Vacation Homes have keyless locks. This keyless system allows entry into the vacation rental through the issue of a “code” rather than a physical key. The code changes for every reservation so it is an incredibly safe alternative. By issuing the code prior to arrival, the check-in process is much easier.
DO YOU PROVIDE DAILY CLEANING SERVICE? TRAVLR Vacation Homes provides a departure clean on all stays. A mid-week or mid-stay clean can be provided for an additional fee.
CAN WE HAVE THE POOL HEATED? Your reservation "resort fee" includes the cost of pool heat (up to 80-82 degrees). This fee is not included on Airbnb bookings.
WHAT IS PROVIDED WITH MY ACCOMMODATIONS? All of our vacation rentals are furnished and have a kitchen with amenities including a microwave, coffee maker, toaster and blender. Each property is stocked with cooking and serving items including plates, bowls and utensils, as well as a can opener, corkscrew measuring spoons and more. The coffee maker takes ground coffee and we also offer a spice rack, salt and pepper.
There are bath towels, pool towels and bed linens. We also provide an initial supply of trash liners, toilet paper, hand soap and dishwasher soap. Bathrooms are stocked with shampoo, conditioner and liquid body wash. Laundry facilities are also equipped with laundry soap and dryer sheets.
CAN I SHIP A PACKAGE TO MY VACATION HOME? We do not recommend shipping directly to the home, we do not have mailbox keys, and there are many different people with access to the home: vendors, housekeeping, Guest Services staff, etc... so we cannot be responsible for packages once delivered.
DO YOUR HOMES HAVE OUTDOOR MUSIC SYSTEMS? Yes! The entire property both inside and out is filled with speakers that are setup in different zones so you can enjoy it wherever you are and even have different music playing in different areas. To use, simply download the Sonos app and connect to our Wi-Fi system. You can then control your music from Spotify, Apple Music and more. Due to city regulations though, the outdoor music speakers will not work between the hours of 9PM and 8AM (the indoor ones will though). Please note that bringing your own outdoor speakers is strictly forbidden unless pre-approved by management and could result in a $5000 fine from the city of Palm Desert.
DO YOU ALLOW PETS? Our vacation rentals are pet friendly. We allow for up to two pets per property for a fee of $150 per pet.

We were having a get together of siblings and spouses and we all enjoyed the house. Wellappointed kitchen and great space inside and out for a large group. Loved the pool!
We highly recommend this property for family, friends, or business gatherings. Truly a spectacular location with ALL the amenities. We had an amazing trip and made many wonderful memories. Thank you for opening your beautiful home up to our family!
"everything is very nice, nice location for Coachella. Nice place for friends to stay together, better than hotel especially during Coachella time. They also provide late check out if available which is very awesome."

Loved!
"This was a fantastic property. The home, yard, and surrounding area were all awesome. A great space to have friends and family enjoy outdoors and meals together. Highly recommended. Also hiking the great desert trails by walking out the front door."
Base Camp is at the foot of many hiking trails in Palm Desert, the location and the house are both amazing. The outdoor space is full of natural beauty. We stayed there for a few days and immediately booked a return stay. This house is our favourite.

Fantastic Stay!
"We had a fantastic stay at this property as a group of 10. The yard is beautiful and secluded. There is lots to do around the property and the beach volleyball court was a hit. We loved the mountain hikes that are right off the property. The hosts were very responsive and we were able to sort out anything we needed. The property is in an excellent location very close to lots of shopping. We would stay here again, and we highly recommend this property to others."
This was our group's second time staying at Base Camp, and we were so happy to come back. The tranquil vibe captured the essence of our retreat weekend. All the rooms are well designed and kept, and the little details, like the welcome Crumbl cookies, were such a nice touch. The house is stocked with most everything that you need, so there was nothing to worry about. Our team can't wait to come back next year!
If you like places that are perfect, Base Camp is for you. The setting, the pool, the outdoor amenities, the beauty, the proximity to hiking but also to El Paseo/stores and restaurants, the on top of it property management - This house is our favorite and we have stayed all over the area in some pretty classy rentals. You’re in for a treat.

Beautiful Home
"We had a really wonderful time staying here. The home is beautiful and was able to fit our entire group comfortably. The pool and backyard area was perfect to just relax and enjoy our time. Communication with the host was excellent, she always got back to us quickly. The only thing to be aware of is Palm Springs has very strict noise rules and this home is in a location where sound can travel. Even with that would totally book this place again and go back. Relaxing and beautiful, we had a great time."

"The house is incredibly luxurious. There were a couple bugs with the Sonos sound system and with the front gate but the company was sent out to fix the errors in good time. Overall had a very good experience and appreciated how communicative the team was. The house and backyard are gorgeous and close to restaurants grocery stores and about 35 min from downtown Palm Springs."

Blown Away!
"I had extremely high hopes for this property and they were blown away! My guests were so impressed and I think everyone was really comfortable. There were so many activities at the bnb and we even went for a morning hike on a trailhead just paces from the front gate. It felt like a private resort. Chic and romantic. I hate that we have to go home."

"I had my bachelorette party here and the compound is absolutely beautiful! The rooms were all equally beautiful with of course, the master bedroom being a DREAM. Jen's team was very responsive and all the directions were so easy to follow. You will not regret staying here for any big celebration events you are planning.

Gorgeous House
"The house was absolutely gorgeous. We went for my son's birthday and he had the best time swimming all day. The beds are really comfy and everything was super clean. The outdoor is extremely big and has some really great views perfect for a morning cup of coffee outside. The house on the inside was really spacious and beautiful. The kitchen was well equipped as well. We look forward to booking this house again in the future."

Luxurious Living
"Just a few words sum up our visit—luxurious living surrounded by breathtaking scenery. We had a full house of family and friends, including an infant, and there was plenty of room for us to spread out but also come together in the living and pool areas. Beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen accommodated multiple cooks. The master bath was like a spa. Each day ended with conversation by the pool in the cool night air. The home's location couldn't have been more perfect."
We absolutely enjoyed our time here. The property itself is situated on a beautiful lot that backs up to private mountains. The home is stunning inside and out with beautiful design and very comfortable living areas. Both kids and adults spent time in both beautiful pools and we will definitely be returning at some point. Jen is one of the most responsive and professional property managers we have ever dealt with. She was unbelievably responsive and so eager to communicate. This is an A+ property and organization. Highly recommend.

Perfect Family Trip!
"The house was perfect for our multi-generational family get together! Lots of communal and private space, not to mention all the fun games and amenities on site, from the hot tub and pools to the bocce court/ping pong table. Jen was very responsive to all our needs during our stay from providing softer pillows to quickly replacing a broken coffee grinder. She also recommended a private chef and other services prior to getting there - and that made organizing the trip super easy. The setting is beautiful, quiet and feels quite remote. Yet, whole foods, target and lots of restaurants are within 5-10 mins drive. We really enjoyed our stay and totally recommend this spot! It's our first time to Palm Desert and we're looking forward to future visits."

Thanksgiving Paradise
We spent Thanksgiving week here with our 4 adult children, their spouses and children and had a blast. We rented cars but barely used them because miles of hiking trails are right out the door. The weather was perfect and so were the pool and spa. With the volleyball and bocce ball courts and the fire pit it felt like a resort we never wanted to leave. So we really didn't! My only caution is to make sure the bathroom setup works for you. It was fine for us but might be a little cozy for some.
