The King Suite
King bed, 65″ Roku TV, and charging hubs on both nightstands.
Desert Hot Springs, California · 15 min from Palm Springs
A modern three-bedroom hideaway with a private pool, a 104° hot tub, and an arcade game room, set beneath panoramic mountains and the best sunset skies in the valley.
Welcome to Desert Glow
Desert Glow has been the backdrop for birthdays, reunions, quiet escapes, and very slow mornings. The split layout gives every group room to breathe: bedrooms on their own wings, a big open living space in the middle, and a backyard that opens straight onto the mountains.
Spend the day in the pool, migrate to the hot tub as the sky turns pink, and let the game room settle the evening's championship. Palm Springs is 15 minutes away; Joshua Tree, 40.
The backyard
Guests tell us the sunset from the pool deck is their favorite part of the entire stay. The mountains glow, the sky goes pink and orange, and the water is exactly where you want to be.
Four to eight feet deep, surrounded by adjustable loungers. Optional heating in the cooler months.
Powerful jets, complimentary heating, and a front-row seat to the night sky.
For cool desert evenings, s'mores, and long conversations under the stars.
Outdoor lounge and dining under the big wooden pergola.
A 22″ kettle classic with all the tools. Just bring the charcoal.
Unbroken mountain views from the pool deck. The sunsets are unreal.
The game room
The converted, climate-controlled game room is the hangout you didn't know the desert needed: a place to escape the afternoon sun without calling it a day.
Sleep & comfort
Bedrooms sit on separate wings of the house, so families and groups actually get space of their own. Every nightstand has a charging hub; every window has room-darkening shades; the central AC is strong and Nest-controlled.
King bed, 65″ Roku TV, and charging hubs on both nightstands.
Queen bed, in-room mini fridge, and its own sliding door to the pool.
Two twin beds beneath a hand-painted mural, a favorite with kids.
Plus a comfortable sofa bed in the living room and two full bathrooms, both stocked with towels, toiletries, and hot water that doesn't quit.

Questions, answered
The City of Desert Hot Springs sets the occupancy limits for vacation rentals here. For our home that means up to 8 guests staying overnight, and up to 12 people on the property during the day (7 AM to 10 PM; the daytime count includes everyone staying over). So a group of up to 12 is very welcome to spend the day together here, with up to 8 staying the night.
Three quick things, all standard for licensed rentals in the city: identity verification, an e-signed rental agreement, and a valid payment method on file for the security deposit. The deposit is a hold rather than a charge, and it's released automatically within 14 business days after checkout as long as the stay wraps up without issues (it almost always does).
Cancel 7 or more days before check-in and you'll receive a 50% refund. Inside 7 days of check-in the trip is non-refundable, and bookings made less than 7 days before arrival are non-refundable from the start. One honest footnote: payment-processing fees charged by third-party processors such as Stripe are collected by them, not by us, so those fees can't be refunded in any scenario.
We host stays of up to 28 nights. And a nice bonus: returning guests who book directly can sometimes unlock a discount, depending on availability and the dates in question. It never hurts to ask.
Often, yes. Message us the day before your arrival or departure and we'll do our best to make it happen around cleaning schedules.
The hot tub is always heated free of charge. The pool can be heated instead by request for a fee; message us before booking so we can set it up for your dates. In summer the pool is naturally swimmable without heating.
Yes, it's climate-controlled and stays cool and comfortable year-round. It has its own side entrance plus a door connecting directly to the house. Keeping the main garage door closed keeps the temperature steady.
We provide a Weber 22″ charcoal kettle and BBQ tools. Bring charcoal or grab a bag at the grocery store five minutes away.
Fresh linens and plush towels, starter toiletries and paper products, a fully equipped kitchen with spices and cooking basics, coffee pods, board games, and a printed guidebook of our favorite local spots. For longer stays you may want to restock consumables.
Every TV has Roku, so you can log into your Netflix, Disney+, Max, or anything else, and the game room's 75″ screen makes a great movie theater.
For everyone's safety there are exterior security cameras (outside only) and noise-level monitors (they measure volume, never record audio). City occupancy rules limit the home to 8 registered guests, and we don't host parties or events.
We're not able to host pets. Several of our regular guests have allergies, and keeping the house pet-free is how we can promise them a comfortable stay. Service animals are of course accommodated as the law requires, so just let us know in advance.
Not parties or events, but a gathering is a different thing. Up to 12 people are welcome on the property during the day, so a birthday lunch or a family get-together by the pool is genuinely encouraged. What the city's permit doesn't allow is events, extra overnight guests beyond the 8 registered, or noise carrying past quiet hours. Exterior noise monitors help everyone stay on the right side of that.
