Vetted by our experts
It feels like you’re in the treetops at this stilted, Geodesic dome cabin, but it’s just a five-minute walk to the brewpubs, shops and restaurants of Idyllwild town centre. Inside, beneath quirky, angled ceilings, you’ll find an antique bar begging for a round of old fashioneds to be made, and a grand piano can provide the soundtrack to evenings in the double-height lounge. If you prefer someone else create the music, rummage through the vinyl collection and put something soulful on the record player. Triangular skylights cast light on a wall of books in the library where a little foosball coffee table provides light entertainment. Outside this home really comes into its own, where the wrap-around deck looks out over the pines to misty mountains beyond. While away the days swinging in the double hammock and spend evenings cooking on the gas grill and dining by birdsong.
We promise expert-vetted homes, total transparency and exceptional service.

About Palm Desert
Is Palm Springs the same as Palm Desert? Is Palm Springs IN Palm Desert? We understand all these palms and deserts can get confusing, but allow us to clarify that Palm Desert IS in fact its own city, and distinct in its own right. That being said, it does offer some of the same fabulously relaxing amenities you’ll find scattered throughout the cities of the Coachella Valley. You know, all...
