Perfect
Bought tickets to Powertrip Live. As soon as they were secured, every hotel in the area doubled or tripled their rates. Found this little gem and it was perfect. Within 15 minutes of Empire Polo grounds. Room is similar to a hotel room in size. Comfortable bed, sitting area, small table/chairs, kitchenette. Lots of artwork. Pool/hot tub and large outside patio with numerous lounge chairs. Host (Margret) was great. Asked about our plans and shared info. Very responsive. A number of small, personsl touches (wine and glasses as we entered the room, among others). Clearly evident she takes pride in the accommodations. Would not hesitate to stay here again. Very highly recommended. Thank you Margret for your hospitality.

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.

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.

Quaint Poolside Accommodation
Delightfully quaint accommodation in a lovely backyard garden/poolside setting. Peacefully beautiful in the AM and as evening approaches becomes more beautiful when the outdoor lighting comes on under clear night skies! Margret is a very responsive host and seamlessly deals with any concerns or questions. Her little welcoming touches await and are greatly appreciated! Dutchess (the resident cat) is the ‘puuurfect’ snuggling companion as you enjoy your morning coffee poolside. The accommodation is centrally located for easy access to many different areas in the Palm Springs area… a perfect ‘get away’! Thanks Margret, we’ll be back! S & B Jan 24-Feb 3/23

Perfect stay at this Palm Desert oasis…the backyard was lovely and private and I really enjoyed the relaxing hot tub and evenings by the firepit under the stars. The owner Margret was very easy to communicate with and makes her guests feel special and welcome. The suite has many special touches and is well equipped with all that you may need, nice linens and comfy bed and sparkling clean. Highly recommend and hope to be back!
