Desert Gem

Desert Gem: California

There's something for everyone in this Palm Springs pad. Outside, a private swimming pool with a built-in hot tub is perfect for relaxing and stargazing. As for the mountain views? Well, we can't get enough of them. Inside, the breezy interiors are ideal for escaping the desert heat. One of the bedrooms is smaller than the other two, but the living area and open-plan kitchen have enough space for everyone. Location-wise, you're only a short drive from restaurants, bars and shops. Several golf courses and hiking trails through the canyon are nearby, too.

Home truths:
*The smallest bedroom is located off the living area. Guests in this room may hear noise from the rest of the house, and it’s cosier in size than the other two.
*While we love the outdoor area, we think the patio looks a little tired.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a free cot and high chair on request.
*The pool and hot tub don't have gates, locks, or fences. Little ones will need to be supervised at all times.
*The lead guest must be at least 25 years old.
*We highly suggest hiring a car in Palm Springs. There's free parking on the premises, plus free on-street parking if you need more space.
