This was a little gem of a place! All rooms have a kitchen/kitchenette. They’re all open to the courtyard which is an absolute oasis. The pool and hot tub were fabulous. The courtyard even had a hammock, fire pit, grills, pizza oven, and bar area with a tv. Staff was super friendly and went above and beyond. We will definitely be staying heee again in the future!

Romantic getaway

This location is truly remarkable. It is a concealed treasure within the desert region. For those seeking a tranquil retreat and a peaceful experience, this is the ideal destination. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Corvin for providing us with a tour of the property, and to Misty for taking the time to share the history and notable features of the estate. This venue possesses a unique charm, and the staff effortlessly creates an atmosphere that makes you feel like part of the family. Be sure to mark your starting point on the large map and take the opportunity to feed the hummingbirds.

We felt so welcome and relaxed at the hotel. Loved the gardens and the rooms centered on the warm,heated outdoor pool. Loved the hot tub tucked away behind bushes providing its own pocket of privacy. Our room was huge with 2 closets and a separate kitchen, wish we could have stayed more than the 2 nights we did. Will definitely stay here again if we are back in Palm Springs.
