Spent the weekend relaxing with friends and chilling in the pool. This was perfect for us! Clean, neat and had a nice funky chill to it. A hot tub in back would be a great addition to enjoy the view of the mountains!

Great Getaway House

Really nicely decorated and true to the photos and well equipped house about 20 minutes from downtime Palm Springs. Great communication from host. Decent supermarkets 5 minutes away, comfy beds and a nicely set out garden space. The only detraction is there are a lot of barking dogs in the neighbourhood which is the only downside but if that doesn't bother you (doesn't seem to bother any of the neighbours) then this place is perfect for a getaway close enough to Palm Springs.
