This home is a gem! Very classic style home, felt warm & cozy for my family! For the price, it beat spending the same amount of money for a 4/5 star hotel! We had the whole house to ourselves, and no one bothered us! House is fully equipped with pretty much everything you’d need for a stay. We are grateful you opened your home up to us for Christmas! Thank you very much!

Great location in the Palm Springs Desert

5 of 5

This home is roomy and in a very quiet neighbourhood. The bathroom and kitchen renovations are quite nice looking. The access into Palm Springs is very direct and quick. There are lots of things to do in P.S. Joshua Tree Nat'l Park is an easy drive, with access to Walmart and a number of large stores enroute. The hiking and driving throughout the park should not be missed.
