Elfin Forest Homes for Four People

Springs Eternal

• 4 guests

• 2 bedrooms

Palm Springs, Riverside County

Sitting on the outer edges of Palm Springs, this condo is relatively humble, especially when compared to a lot of the lavish addresses found in the local area. The design is minimalist and inoffensive, with white walls, wooden surfaces and a few pieces of artwork peppered about the walls – although we have to concede that the fireplace adds a degree of much-welcomed hygge.

The Roadrunner

• 4 guests

• 2 bedrooms

Joshua Tree, San Bernardino County

You’ll feel wonderfully secluded at this homestead in Joshua Tree, surrounded by the Mojave Desert and arresting views of the rolling mountains. Open, bright and instantly welcoming, the home’s interiors are colourful and cheerful, matching its vibrant pops of oranges, reds and blues with the natural hues found in the arid landscape that surrounds you.

Neo-Noir

• 4 guests

• 2 bedrooms

Baristo, Palm Springs

Monochromatic and masculine, Neo-Noir does contemporary minimalism really well. Inside, it’s a mix of sleek surfaces, modern finishes (think matte-black metal and polished black marble), and the occasional mid-century modern touch (it’s still Palm Springs).
