Hi Stephanie,
Here is a testimonial you can add to the website:
We've been staying in the Palm Springs area for over almost 20 years and this is the best experience we've had by far. The enchanting, private backyard with perfect pool, great gazebo and verdant gardens made for an unforgettable experience. Every creature-comfort was provided, from bath accessories to a fully equipped, modern kitchen. We will definitely be back!
Thanks again,
|

Thanks again... lovely home, lovely backyard... perfect size and amenities for people like us. You have an amazing touch to make things beautiful and comfortable.

We have had a great time and would like to return sometime. I'm a lawyer but am really working on a novel and this is a very private piece of paradise. The dogs also love it. Their noses have hardly left the ground! You and your husband must. BE very handy with all the little touches I see everywhere. Larry

We were only able to stay here one week but already it feels like home. Your back garden is a privat oasis---Beautifully lanscaped, shimmering pool and jacuzzi, birds everywhere. You thoughtfully provided all the basic stuff for the kitchen and bathrooms etc., not to mention the welocme basket of wine, chips, salsa etc.
Many thanks. Hopefully we'll be back

Perfect weather in a perfect setting! Deswert Casa's "Eden" like backyard is the ideal place to bask in the sun, cool off with a dip in th epool and just enjoy th ewonderful variety of blossums, butterflies and birds. Stephanie and Greg have thougt of everhthing to make their place feel i like a home. Lewis, our cocker just loves the yard and the house.
Golf in the AM, swim in the afternoon and soak in the hot but under the stars at night. This has been our idea of heaven.

Your home is fabulous...everything one could ever need.
The backyard is unbeleivable..the pool, jacuzzi, gazebo, flowering shrubs, palm trees, birds coming for a drink.
Recliners so enjoyable to watch TV. Your directions were great..drive right up to the house. thanks you

As much as it pains me to write this....i have to ...were going home. Good bye 31C, hello 0C. Bye, bye blue skys--hello grey clouds, socked against the mountains dropping their load of moisture. So long fresh oranges, grapefruit and lemons. Ta-ta gazebo where we enjoyed sitting in the cool of the spring evenings as a gentel breeze carried the wonderful scents of the many flowers. Lewis, our cocker, really enjoyed the yard and the neighborhood---especially the park! The house was very well equipped with everything anyone could need--and then some. we used the pool everyday. It was a godsend! Thanks for the memories!

Really great 2 weeks---Thank-you.
The house was perfect--the kitchen, great--pool & spa--fantastic!
Total cooperation re weather. Only 2 days overcast. Tied, I'm sure, to the so cal fires, smoke and ash did not make it up here!
We picked the best time of the year and escaped really bad air back home in SD.
Michael, our lab, had a great vacation, also. He's a real desert dog! Loved the yard.
You'll be seeing us again.

It was like our own personal resort and spa! The house has everything we need and want. Our dogs loved the backyard...there's so much to explore. We loved watching the hummingbirds, large bumble bees and so many birds in the cool earl mornings. Swimming in the evenings was perfect (too hot during the day!). Exploring Palm Springs, Indio and all the towns was easy and conveniet from here. The village fest on Thursday in Palm Springs was alot of fun. The locals are very nice and helpful. I recommend gettting a massage from one of the many "chair massages" siges. The do a great job and cheap! We had a great time
