Magical Garden Retreat with Pool, Hot Tub & Mountain Views✨

Located in the Indian Palms Country Club, this is a fabulous house for the Coachella and Stage Coach music festivals, Joshua Tree National Park, and the Thermal HITS horse show (as well as for the PGA West golf tournament and Indian Wells Tennis Garden).
The property lends itself to indoor/outdoor living at its best! The back yard offers a surprisingly secluded retreat with views of mountains looming in the not-too-far distance. Enclosed by living walls of tall green vegetation, the garden is planted with aloes, milkweeds (to attract butterflies), roses and other increasingly native plantings. The pool is delightfully refreshing on hot days, and the hot tub -- well -- it is almost always a delicious spot to be at. Bougainvillea covers the patio and grill area, where there is an outdoor dining table and chairs, and 4 reclining lounge chairs.
The three bedroom house is gently growing from its 1970's heritage into its more modern, nomadic 2020's self (with some of its 1970's features still in tact ;) The house has an open living/dining area with an adjoining kitchen, a master bedroom with king bed (or two twins), a second bedroom with a California king, and a third bedroom with a queen bed. The master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and the two other bedrooms share a bathroom. Two of the bedrooms have sliding doors leading to the back/side yards.
Whether waking up to the chorus of birds in trees, roadrunners dashing across the lawn, bright sun and skies or going sleep to chirping crickets and stars blazing overhead, this is a sweet little spot to be at.

A few things to note:
- The house is located in the gated community of Indian Palms, for which you will receive guest passes.
- Our neighborhood is very peaceful; loud partying is not tolerated.
- A dog may be permitted with pre-approval. Please send us information if you are looking to bring your dog.
- Check-in & out is flexible when the cleaning schedule allows.
- The pool can be heated for an additional daily fee.
- The 14% Occupancy Tax is WAIVED for stays of 30 days and more.
- Monthly rates may not be quoted correctly. Please ask if you are interested.

Fantastic summer evenings and comfortable home

Everything was so easy and perfect. Even though it was really hot hot during the day, the backyard cooled off in the evening and we enjoyed being outside poolside and in the pool. Younger adults loved the jacuzzi. Inside the home everything was neat and organized and made it easy to be there.

Lovely property and location

We booked to stay for 4 nights and were travelling across from San Diego where the weather was turning cooler and wanted to finish our holiday in the hot climate of Indio. The facilities at the house were great and spent most of the day in and out of the pool. Very comfortable beds and each room with A/C meant the hot nights didn’t cause us any issues. BBQ was used every day and the kitchen facilities were spot on. Would definitely return and recommend staying here.

Wonderful home, relaxing atmosphere

My spouse and I needed to get away from the fog on the coast and get nice and hot while relaxing. This place did the trick plus some! Brooks is an awesome and communicative host, you know exactly what you’re getting and you’ll be happy renting this spot for a relaxing getaway! I wish there were more bars and restaurants near the place since we like to be out among people, but if you’re looking to cook- a wonderful kitchen waits for you here too.

Great house and sunny pool!

We thoroughly enjoyed this home, the floorplan is outstanding with a large living room and the master bedroom opens out to the hot tub and pool. With southern exposure on the back of the home the pool get excellent sunlight all day and the owners will heat the pool daily for a nominal fee. Barbecue grill works great also. We will be back

Good pool for little kids

This house is in a gated, quiet country club community. We are a family with two small children and found the house to be comfortable and laid out well. The pool is a great size for little children, it's only about 3 ft at the shallow end and 5 ft of the deep end. Our four-year-old and 8 year old had a great time in the pool. The yard is nicely landscaped, and the kitchen is situated with a big window that grants a full view of the pool to watch the kids. Our only complaint would be that the shallowness of the pool combined with the ambient heat meant that the pool was never cool. This didn't seem to affect how much the kids enjoyed it. This would be a great place to stay in the off season when you want a heated pool that would probably heat up very quickly, or maybe not need to be heated at all. The house is all tile, so it cooled off inside very quickly when we kicked on the air. The beds are comfortable, and we slept very well with a ceiling fan in the master bedroom. Several nearby restaurants were available by Doordash within a short amount of time. Our hosts were very friendly, accommodating, and great communicators. Overall we had a great vacation here.

Month-long Summer Vacation

We escaped downtown city living for a simple, quiet getaway with a pool. We loved our stay. Big fridge, great oven, easy to use grill. Pleasant neighborhood. We’d get up and walk the neighborhood then spend mornings in the pool. We’d go back out to grill and hung out in the pool all evening. Beautiful views all around! You could see the mountains in the distance and watch the prettiest sunsets. We brought our dog, who loved the tile floors. Very comfy master bedroom. Very spacious living room, perfect for movies and games. Also, our host was incredibly responsive and was very good about reminding us of trash day, etc. was a fantastic experience!

Relaxing Well-located Desert Getaway

We stayed here during the Sandstorm Lacrosse tournament (played at Empire Polo fields). It was a great location. The house was very clean and there was plenty of space in the bedrooms for two people each. The kitchen is roomy and well appointed with everything you need to cook. The backyard is VERY beautiful and private. Having a pool and hot tub was a definite plus!!! We enjoyed our stay over the long weekend very much and would definitely stay here again!!

Great Place to Relax!!

We are 60-something retirees; our second trip to the Palm Springs area. This property met all our desires perfectly. The home is set in a gated golf course community, with south-ish facing back yard adjoining the course. We totally enjoyed the pool/spa - just the right size for evening dips. Being a full-sized house, all facilities were available for our use - laundry, full kitchen, living room/TV, etc. Neighborhood was quiet enough - we took walks around the community in the evenings - never felt uncomfortable doing that. Brooks was always available if we had questions and was pleasant to work with! She provided all the info we needed to enjoy the many features of the house. Our stay in Indio met our need for relaxation and re-charging to a tee.

The "Garden Retreat" is a comfortable, cozy home with plenty of room and privacy! We loved the location in a well maintained, gated, golf community. We thoroughly enjoyed the salt water hot tub with the gorgeous views of the mountains. The landscaping and gardens are beautiful. We highly recommend renting from the owner, Brooks. Her instructions and hospitality were superb! She was very helpful and accommodating! This is a great place to unwind, relax and enjoy the sunshine and view in a quiet, safe neighborhood! Thank you, Brooks! We will definitely rent this beautiful oasis in the future!

Great weekend getaway

Lovely property with a gorgeous back yard. Dog friendly which is a plus! We spent the entire time outside in and out of the saltwater pool. It feels very private and is the perfect getaway from the city. The weather was amazing and coordinating this rental was so easy. The owner is very quick to respond and offered a ton of recommendations for places to explore while we were out there. The property is in a gated golf course community where you will feel safe and fully able to relax. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to visit the desert.

This is a lovely property with a wonderful back yard. The house, while it is a little dated, is clean, tidy and well maintained. Everything you need is there. Comfortable beds, fully stocked kitchen, roomy and comfortable sitting area and dining space in a great open plan. The back yard patio is a great place to be all day, with sun most of the day and is front row for watching the sunsets. Pool and spa are easy to use and are well maintained. And it is quiet. No noisy neighbours. The owner is most friendly and dedicated to making sure everything is as expected. Great value. Will return here in a heartbeat.
