Also experience, on Friday from 4pm to 9pm, 'First Friday On North Palm Canyon' (every month, year-round), between Tachevah and Amado Road, featuring entertainment, food and fun, where more than 50 antique furnishings and art stores remain open into the late evening.

Excellent house and excellent location.
Lovely house that backs up to the mountains. Two outdoor living areas are great. One in the back with the pool and one in the front with a view across the valley. Excellent.

I’d live here if I could!!
Wow, what an awesome few days. The home was more than advertised! The location was close to everything yet felt so private and quiet. The home was very well maintained and so easy to use. It had EVERYTHING you need…the most complete home away from home I have ever stayed in. The owners and property manager were very easy to work with and communication was top notch and as expected. I highly recommend this home if you are biting Palm Springs. I know I will be back!!

About the host

Hosted by Barbara

Host profile image
We live in a cooler, often chilly climate in Northern California. Palm Springs offers us a place to switch gears, warm our bones and provides us a delightful environment to engage nature and enjoy the many enlivening activites in the desert.

Why they chose this property

We have been traveling to Palm Springs with friends who have owned a home in the desert since 2001. We were excited to find a home in a natural desert setting that we could renovate, enjoy and share with others!

What makes this property unique

We bought this home because of the gorgeous views and the mid-century sensibility of the home in this amazing hillside setting. When creating the landscape with its patios, pool/spa, walls and established trees we made every effort to ensure we brought the natural Palm Springs panorama into view. It is something to behold from every room and spot in and around the house!
