Lion's Gate is a beautiful home with an amazing yard. The location is exactly what we wanted!! Close to town and the grocery store. Also, there is a beautiful park less than a block away. Acme house always answered my phone call with answers and immediate help. Our only complaint is that there were not enough bath towels. We also had an issue with one of the toilets. A plumber was sent over the next day and it was determined that a tree root is growing near the toilet system. We visit Palm Springs often as it is the halfway point for our daughters and us to spend some quality time together. I would rent this house again in a second as long as the plumbing issue is addressed. We had a wonderful experience!!

We look forward to welcoming you back!

My girlfriends and I take an annual trip to Palm Springs and this is our most favorite house to date. It is beautiful, both inside and out, very well maintained, complete with beautiful dishes and glassware, and is in short walking distance to town. I would highly recommend Lions Gate Estate and we will be returning for sure!

Palm Spring Hideaway

5 of 5

Picked the place because we wanted 4 king size beds with separate showers, a pool, a hot tub, and walking distance to town. Place was ideal and gave plenty of Palm Springs flare. It also had a pool table that was a bonus.There is also plenty of privacy with privacy walls and a driveway gate. The only major problem we had was the washer not working which they ended up replacing. ACME was very responsive. The other problem we had was the pillows were too firm for our taste. They offered to get us others but we declined.

Hi Neil, Thank you for sharing your experience. We're glad the home met your needs and provided the Palm Springs flair you were looking for. We appreciate your understanding regarding the washer, and we're happy you noted our team was responsive. Your feedback on the pillows is noted; comfort is important, and we strive to accommodate all guests. We hope you'll stay with us again!

This property was beautiful, large, cozy and well set up for indoor and outdoor entertaining. Location was great and walking distance/short uber ride to downtown east. Pool temperature was perfect. No additional fees for spa use. Pup friendly. Check out was easy - just remove trash. Only challenge was the A/C did not hit all rooms at night. Would definitely book again but I would pick a different room to sleep in ha ha

Lion's Gate Perfect for Us

5 of 5

We found Lion's Gate perfect for the 6 adults, 2 small children and 1 dog. The house has 3 bedrooms (each ensuite) on one side for mom/dad and the children, one for grandparents and then another bedroom (ensuite) on the other side for the single adult. The house was positioned so that by 3pm, there was sufficient shade covering the nice sized pool and a spacious, covered patio. The residential area is very nice and upscale. We felt extremely private, surrounded by a high wall/greenery and a gate onto the property. The dog could roam and explore without us closely behind (although we generally were). The area for the kitchen, dining and billiard table were together and very open for us to visit and move around. There was a comfortable TV room for the younger and a quiet living room (when needed) in another area for the older. We sat a couple of patio chairs on the front porch in the mornings for coffee and to see the beautiful views of the mountains and palm trees. The house provided everything we needed and more. We absolutely loved it! This is our second year using Acme House Co and they are great to work with. All are very gracious and accommodating. Even their instruction guide is pleasantly worded. Wonderful house and memories.

Terrific house in excellent condition

5 of 5

Terrific house in excellent condition. Very spacious and comfortable. En suite bathroom in each bedroom. Well-equipped kitchen. Immaculate landscaping. Lovely, resort-like backyard with beautiful pool and hot tub, lounge chairs, umbrellas, etc. Private and quiet. Easy walking distance to downtown. The Acme people were responsive and friendly. I texted them once after office hours, expecting to not hear from them until the next morning, but received a reply within a few minutes and had my question answered immediately. We really enjoyed our stay in this home and would be happy to return.
