Guest Reviews

This property is unbelievable as it is tucked into the hillside for a natural, private getaway. All of the bedrooms and baths are generously sized and secluded for a sense of privacy while having plenty of gathering spaces for a large group. The pool backdrop plus the poolhouse living room and the dining room were our favorite parts. The kitchen is perfect for your own cooking or we had a chef come and cook and everything was there for him to do his thing. The golf cart is very useful to get things up and down as there is a good amount of stairs to climb. We will definitely come back in the future as it is a memorable place to stay, close to downtown and anything else you may need. Oh and the landscaping is immaculate and the lighting at night is stunning!

My extended family and I spent a weekend here in early October, and it was the best decision we could have made! The compound is not only as luxurious as advertised, but it literally transcends your soul into another place and time. Every inch of the grounds offer something unique and incredibly special, with history and charm in every house, on every level, in every way. From the views (both day and night), to the cook's kitchen right in the middle, to the endless entertainment nooks peppered throughout the property. And even though you feel secluded and a million miles from nowhere in the best possible way, the location is just minutes from the heart of downtown! Cannot recommend this home enough to anyone looking for luxury, privacy, as well as a compound fully equipped for a great time with friends or family.

Like having your own private boutique hotel in the heart of Palm Springs

Staying at this compound felt like stepping into our own personal boutique resort. Every detail—from the incredible amenities to the breathtaking mountain views—was thoughtfully designed for both comfort and luxury. The rooms are spacious, beautifully decorated, and feel more like private suites than typical accommodations. It’s perfectly located—just minutes away from Palm Springs’ best restaurants, shops, and attractions—yet still peaceful and private. Whether lounging by the pool, watching the sunset from the patio, or enjoying the stunning architecture, it’s an experience that feels both indulgent and restorative. We can’t wait to come back!
