| We came down in Feb and planned on as much golf as possible but with the temp in the low 40's we passed. Instead we spent our time with a glass of wine in the hot tub or roasting dogs over the fire. Both had an incredible view of the mountains. We watched old movies on the huge flat screen(again by the fire). We jumped on the wifi looked up public trans and went green easily taking the bus downtown for a romantic dinner. It was the perfect Valentine's. We plan to return to the house again this coming Feb except this time we have no plans for golf..... |

When I dream of a getaway house, I dream of this
one. It's simply gorgeous. Driving up to the house,
the architecture and landscaping was just as
described and so pretty - but doesn't even compare
to the backyard!
The pool, spa, firepit and outdoor furniture
certainly got used on our girls' weekend escape.
It's perfectly set up for a group of friends or family
looking to have some fun in the desert sun!
The yard was bigger than I expected with the
firepit, pool and spa in one area and a grassy area
big enough for impromptu yoga sessions.
The covered patio area was great to have snacks
out (we got hungry after the yoga and hours spent
frolicking in the pool) and was shaded for when we
needed a break from the sun.
The interior of the house can't be beat either. VERY
nicely furnished and decorated with every possible
amenity!!! There are flat screen TVs in EVERY room
(there was no fighting over what to watch, that's for
sure!). Wireless internet access reaches throughout
the house and the Wii provided hours of
entertainment on our night in. The kitchen is also
stocked with everything you could possibly imagine
including the Tassimo machine AND conventional
espresso machine. There is even an electric juicer
for the fresh lemons and grapefruits that grow just
outside the kitchen patio door!
A weekend stay was definitely not enough!
Especially since the owners have put together a
FANTASTIC guest book that gives you ideas for
activities, tourist attractions, food, food and more
food! It's like having a personal concierge for Palm
Springs. We thought the complete guest book with
recommendations was a great touch and
completely in-character for the owners.
They were fantastically responsive and their
instructions on how to get to the house and make
the most of our stay was spot on!
They made staying at the house really easy and
extremely enjoyable.
Definitely a house I will revisit as soon as I can!

We loved everything about this beautiful Alexander Butterfly home!
The decor was in keeping with the era and integrity of the house and oh-so comfortable. The patio was private, peaceful and had a soft grassy area -- perfect for a pet or child to play upon. The pool and hot tub had views of the mountains, palms and humming birds. And the fire pit gave off a lot of heat for the chilly Easter evening.
We were also impressed with the well-stocked kitchen. The cappucino maker was a big hit. And the BBQ outside grilled our steaks beautifully.
The neighborhood is quiet and great for kids -- we saw a few people taking evening strolls and only encountered one car.
Overall, I have only positive things to say! The owner was prompt and friendly in all of our communications. This will be our go-to house in Palm Springs. I can't wait to return. |
