Tranquil Desert Retreat . Short walk to hot springs & close to Joshua Tree!
Permit # VR20-0019. Max 6 guests. Welcome to our tranquil Desert Oasis. Desert Hot Springs is a close 10-15 min drive to Palm Springs and just a bit further from all of the charming desert towns throughout the Coachella Valley. Nestled in the foothills of Joshua Tree National Park it’s perfectly located between the bustling desert cities (and countless world renowned golf courses) and just 30-40 mins away from a secluded hike amongst the Joshua Trees. What we absolutely love the most is the magical hot spring water in DHS!
We’ve made the entire house accessible for guests except for one owners closet and one owners cabinet. There’s a smart garage door opener, keyless Schlage locking system and we have the alarm accessible on our cell phones to make check in a breeze. We also have co-hosts and vendors close by to help in case you need hands on help with anything. There are three bedrooms with feather duvets and high quality linens and extra snuggly Barefoot Dreams blankets & robes for those chilly desert nights. We have an additional air bed we haven’t listed as an extra bed but it’s on the premises and available for use. There are two full bathrooms with all of the amenities, extra towels and black make-up washcloths to make laundry a breeze (a personal favorite of mine). The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to make your stay as convenient as possible. Relax and enjoy the beautiful panoramic desert mountain views and exquisite sunsets. Our favorite thing to do is watch the sunset in the zero gravity chairs (provided) while enjoying a cold beverage, have an evening soak in the hot springs and snuggle in to bed for some of the best sleep we’ve ever had. This is our vacation home and we’ve tastefully decorated with things we love including many prints from our favorite artist Michael Parkes. Some of his works artistically depict semi nude (topless) women. We absolutely love them and have small children ourselves but want to be sure if you’re traveling with children you’ve looked at the pictures in the listing carefully and feel the same way.
Desert Hot Springs is a magical town that just so happens to be a five point Earth energy vortex (a place where five Earth powers converge) and sits atop an underground water aquifer that provides rejuvenating hot springs (read more at if you’d like to learn about the energy vortex). We are just a couple of blocks from both Two Bunch Palms and The Springs, which we feel as spa owners ourselves, are the top two spas in town. Two Bunch Palms also has an amazing restaurant if you’d like to do a spa day, soak and eat a great meal. We also have a great relationship with Nurturing Nest for $20 hot springs soaks and there are of course countless places all over town if you’d like to venture out on your own. Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, La Quinta and Indio are all close by in the Coachella Valley if you like golf, nightlife and casinos or check out some of the unforgettable daytime adventures like the Palm Springs Tram, The Living Desert or a desert ATV trip! If you like shopping the valley is full of art, antiques and Art Deco shopping and don’t forget the Cabazon outlets at Morongo Casino are about 10 miles west and are second to none. Last but not least we have Joshua Tree National Park about 30-40 mins away (don’t forget to check out Intgratron on your way) if you like the outdoors. The perfect balance of Heaven and Earth! Enjoy! Noise sensors per the City of Desert Hot Springs are encouraged to have a short term rental permit and are present. exterior. Ring security cameras on all both entry doors for your additional security.

Everything about the stay was great. It's a very nice home with everything needed to be comfortable. Communication with owner is exceptional. Would stay again.
Wonderful stay at this property. Great location. Clean and comfortable with everything we needed. Host's were kind and helpful. Would definitely book it again.
This was the perfect home for our weekend stay as we were to attend a family wedding at a venue nearby. The home is nicely decorated with some great art and accent pieces that give it artistic charm. the home is nicely appointed with plenty of towels, fluffy robes, and the kitchen includes coffee maker and other necessary accessories. There is a grocery store and Starbucks close by! i would definitely choose to stay here again!
Great house for the price. Was located in a great spot for us as we were traveling in multiple directions. The home was fully supplied with all needs for a stay. The kitchen was fully supplied with all necessities (although corkscrew would have been nice). The home was clean, beds comfortable. Very pleased with our pick.
A couple of weeks and enjoyed every minute. Hosts were pleasent and accessible with a check in to ask if everything is going good. We are looking forward to coming back. ❤️
Lovely property, with great views, and more than enough room for 4 adults (my wife and I and our 2 adult kids). For my part I enjoyed looking at and pondering the eclectic decor, very cool. Also, a shout out to our hosts. We needed to contact them along the way and they were always responsive and helpful,
We had a wonderful stay at Kirsten and Michael's house. The location was perfect for exploring all the amazing nearby attractions, from Palm Springs and Anza-Borrego Desert State Park to Joshua Tree National Park, LA, San Diego, the Salton Sea, and Cathedral City, just to name a few.During our visit, I had to join a three-hour Zoom call, and the internet connection was excellent—no issues at all. Kirsten and Michael were incredibly helpful and communicative, informing us via email and text about check-in details before our arrival. The house was spotless and well-maintained and had a lovely backyard with fruit trees to enjoy. We truly had a great experience!
I brought my sister to Desert Hot Springs for her birthday (we're both seniors), and we really enjoyed staying at the Desert Vortex Retreat. We only used two of the three bedrooms, but all had ample space at the end of the bed to do stretching in the mornings.
The kitchen was well-equipped, as were the bathrooms, and the sofa was very comfortable. We couldn't sit outside because it was super windy, as it can be in the desert, but we enjoyed excursions to The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway for hiking up at 8,500 feet, and Miracle Springs Resort right there in town for soaking in several of their 8 naturally heated pools.
The neighborhood is quiet, and there are beautiful sunsets. I would stay here again, and highly recommend it!
The home was a quiet oasis with enclosed front and back patios to sit back, relax, and enjoy the serene views. They even have kumquat trees in the yard! We headed to Joshua Tree NP (go early for sunrise and beat the crowds) and also up the Palm Springs Aerial Tram (as cool as it was 20+ years ago on my honeymoon). Didn't have a long visit but we're already wishing we could be back and stay a few more days to appreciate the area. Excellent hosts. Grateful there was coffee on site. Loved the little extras added in (think heated toilet seats in the middle of the night). The beds were very comfortable and having use of the laundry and extra space to spread out was a perfect ending to our last few days in So Cal. Convenient proximity to the Palm Springs Airport. Thank you!
This property is exactly as stated and pictured. Great floor plan with dining room facing the living room with comfy couch to use the fireplace and large tv, kitchen counter seats allow convenience. The view out the dining room in the morning is the sun rising behind you and shining on the mountains in the front of you! In the evening the same view but you're watching the sun set beyond the mountains. The side yard was also my favorite to sit in the zero gravity chairs, catching the afternoon sun and watch and listen to the hummingbird visit the lemon tree. The bathrooms are large and clean, the heated seat is something nice I don't have at home. I enjoyed the spa robes to take the chill off the mornings and cozy up at night. Benches are great useful decor also. Side tables on both sides of bed, charging station in kitchen and blue tooth speaker, all terrific amenities. Schlage lock and alarm system are easy to use. We enjoyed ourselves and liked being north of Palm Springs, it's close enough for daily dining but far enuf to feel like the suburbs we're from. It will be our first choice next time we are in the area.
This home was in a clean, quiet neighborhood, close to everything we we wanted to see and do.
The hosts, Kirsten and Michael were easy to communicate with and very helpful. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable week long stay. I would stay here again if visiting Palm Springs.
