Welcome to The Clever Cactus, a spacious and thoughtfully designed Palm Springs retreat that blends classic Southern California style with modern comfort and flexibility. Located in the desirable Tahquitz River Estates neighborhood, this three-bedroom, four-bath property features two Primary Suites in the Main House plus an attached private Casita, making it ideal for families, couples traveling together, or groups seeking both connection and privacy.

With two kitchens, two living areas, and generous outdoor amenities, The Clever Cactus delivers a relaxed yet elevated Palm Springs experience just minutes from Downtown.

OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES Step into a lush, fully private backyard oasis surrounded by towering palms, citrus trees, and mature ficus hedging. The centerpiece is a sparkling saltwater pool, perfect for sun-soaked afternoons or cooling off after a day in town. A cozy fire pit lounge invites evening conversations under the desert stars, while the plumbed gas BBQ and nearby prep area make outdoor cooking effortless. A covered al fresco dining pavilion, located just off the indoor dining room, offers a shaded spot for meals and morning coffee with mountain and garden views. The outdoor layout is designed for both relaxation and entertaining, delivering the privacy and ambiance guests expect from a premier Palm Springs vacation home.

Nice location, lovely house. Would have been nice to have flexibility with later checkout time. We did have some issues that hot-tub did not work and pool temperature was cold (and we paid extra for heating).
