Amazing!

If I could give this property 10 stars, I would!!! Everything about this Casita is well thought out and just downright spectacular. Rick is an amazing host who will take care of you before and during your stay. The ambiance of the home, inside and out, does not disappoint. We felt completely at home and didn't want to leave. Spent most of our time in the backyard oasis, enjoying the views of serene palm trees and pond area. When wr go back to Palm Springs, this is the only place we want to stay! If you're looking for seclusion and privacy, with great atmosphere, this is your vacation oasis.

An absolute DREAM of a rental!

My partner and I rented the casita for the Coachella weekend and immediately fell in love with the property. Rick is the BEST host we have ever had! He is beyond kind, helpful, and accommodating. The casita was stocked with everything you could possibly need and so much more. We will definitely be returning in the near future. Thanks Rick!! :)

Amazing hosts and casita

Where to start with our wonderful and relaxing stay...how about the nicest hosts greeting us as we arrived. A clean, refurbished and adorable casita with fresh flowers and beautiful grounds are just some of the "starters". It was the only vacation rental we have ever stayed in where our dogs were relaxed and behaved like they do at home. I could go on and on about how great the casita is and the how perfect of a location for getting a feel for and visiting the Palm Springs, Palm Desert and Desert Hot Springs.

Great location, privacy, and hosts!

We used this lovely casita as a jumping off point for day trips to Palm Springs, San Bernardino, San Jacinta, Joshua Tree, and Mojave Desert. The house was very clean, well decorated and renovated, and despite the 115 degree heat - very cool! We could really unwind here, and we got great sleep in the new bed. The house had all the amenities one would want (especially for the bathroom and kitchen - lots of cooking tools, blender, robes in the bathroom, plenty of towels, laundry, etc.), and we enjoyed looking at the beautiful yard, hummingbirds, and owls while hanging out on the patio or in the hot tub. We also really enjoyed feeding the fish in the pond and meeting our hosts and their adorable dogs and miniature horses! The highlight may have been tasting the wonderfully fresh dates the hosts grow on their farm - I will be ordering more from Desert Mountain Dates - yum! We will definitely stay again if we're back in the area :)

Beautiful location and property

This property is beautiful! Beautiful outdoor space and scenery, you can probably spend most of your time in the hot tub or laying on a lawn chair under the palm trees. Check in and out process was so easy and Ivan (Rick) was a very attentive and helpful host. I can't wait to go back one day!

My friend and I stayed here for our stay during Coachella and it was perfect! Rick was super helpful and kind and provided lots of tips and advice on the area. It’s very quiet and the hot tub was wonderful! He even showed us his miniature horses next door which are adorable!

The pictures don’t do it justice!

Oh my goodness. I wish I could have stayed longer. The hot tub, pond, grounds, casita, and Rick were the best. Rick was so helpful, but never tried to intrude on our stay. His goal was to have our stay be the best it could possible be. He gave us great advice about where to go for things we were interested in doing. Although I could have just stayed on the porch and sipped wine the whole time and been perfectly happy. The place is truly a paradise in the desert. I highly recommend this vacation rental. I could go on and on. Like how the bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was gorgeous, the numerous windows made for spectacular views. I hope to go back for a longer stay.

Perfect property for us

This little oasis in the middle of the desert was perfect for the two of us and our dog, Annie. The owner, Rick, attended to all of our needs and maintained the property meticulously. Annie loved to see him come visit and play.....I think the feeling was mutual!! During the Covid pandemic, this was the perfect place to be.

Beautiful desert oasis

The casita was a beautiful oasis in the desert. The place was nice and secluded, perfect if you're looking for a nice quiet area. The place is a little outdated but adds to the charm and rustic feel of the cabin. The house is equipped with all the amenities that you would find in a house and more. The area was perfect for stargazing at night or sitting by the fire pit or relaxing in the hottub. We hosted a zoom wedding while there and Rick was very helpful in helping us host a beautiful wedding. We loved our stay there and would definitely book again in the future.

Don’t miss out on a beautiful spot

We had the loveliest stay the casita. The grounds are beautifully maintained, the house is nicely decorated and comfortable, and our dog loved the little pond nearby. Also, the double fence surrounding the property allowed our dog to run off leash safely, which is a huge bonus. Rick took wonderful care of us, even delivering homemade cinnamon rolls and introducing us to his adorable mini horses. We loved our stay and can’t wait to come back.

An Oasis

Truly an oasis in the desert! This was the perfect spot for my new puppy to acclimate to life in the desert. Green grass and two fences made this an ideal location. The house had all the comforts of home ~ cooking and baking in the kitchen was super easy, since everything I needed was right there. Rick and Carter were wonderful hosts, making this adventure forever memorable.

Dog and People Heaven

We have stayed in so many rentals, but seldom talk about coming back to stay again. This place is so special, though, and I know we'll be back if given the opportunity. Rick, you are even nicer than all the reviews say! Your attention to the casita, inside and out, is part of what makes it such a special place. The other part is, simply, you. You put our little schnauzer Schnitzel at ease instantly, and he's deeply suspicious of everyone! Thanks for everything, including the delicious pumpkin pie!

It gets better each time we go

This was our 2nd trip to the Casita in Sky Valley (Desert Hot Springs) and it was even better than the 1st time. Rick, the host, is very knowledgeable about the area and can provide recommendations if you need them. And he's the nicest person you could ever meet. This will become an annual trip for us.

Perfect Getaway (especially for festival season)

Rick was the best host ever and super responsive and accommodating. The house is pretty spacious and in the perfect location for festival season when all you want to do is get away from all the craziness and crowds. The oasis is truly so peaceful and beautiful to hang out in. The jacuzzi was so relaxing especially after a long day on your feet. We definitely recommend this place :)

Never expected such a fantastic experience

We were very pleased with our stay at the casita. This little house is great for a couple and their furry companions. We enjoyed our walks and the beautiful scenery all around the property. It was great fun to feed the fish in the large pond. The house has everything you might need and you will be surprised at all the nice little touches that you would not expect from a vacation rental. Our 3 dogs acclimated very quickly and had as much fun as we did. The host, Rick, is friendly, knowledgeable about the area, easy going and a wonderful person. When renting a vacation property, we don't usually meet the host or manager in person as everything is done through the Internet, via email or by phone. We were very happy to meet Rick and it made our stay that much more enjoyable. We definitely recommend this VRBO. You will not be disappointed.

Peaceful and Mesmerizing

We so enjoyed our stay at the Casita! Every where you walk or sit has its own charm and something interesting for the senses. We loved feeding the tilapias in the pond and sitting in the Palapa. The first night we arrived, we watched the Full Moon rise above the mountains to the East, and it was magical. Rick gave us a wonderful ranch tour where we got to meet his miniature horses, and walk among the date Palms. I think our K9 'Drama' enjoyed her stay almost more than we did. She was so happy walking and running the grounds with us as the property is completely fenced. Rick and Carter are the best Hosts! If you're looking for a Desert Oasis, this is it! We simply didn't want to leave, and look forward to returning in the future. Thanks again for your hospitality and charm Rick and Carter! ~ Tanya, Jeff, and K9 Drama

Thanks for a Perfect Vacation

The property was great,. even better than advertised. Everything about the house was clean, comfortable and in perfect working condition. The five fenced acres were great for my dog. Best of all was the natural mineral spring Jacuzzi and the fish pond. The location is off the highway so as to be peaceful and quiet, but minutes from Desert Hot Springs and Palm Springs. The owner went out of his way to assure that our stay went well. Plenty of nature: roadrunners, hummingbirds, rabbits, quail, orioles and other wildlife abound. Hope to stay here again in the future.

Tranquil Desert Oasis

Comfortable, tastefully decorated, well-equipped casita with views in all directions. The perfect escape for anyone seeking peace and privacy in a natural setting of palms and desert plants. A palapa overlooking the pond and a mineral water jacuzzi completes the relaxing, outdoor experience. Rick, our host, was a wonderful addition to our stay and we plan on returning again in the spring.
