Amazing design and ambiance. Great fun with groups or a special somebody. Two very good restaurants and a new wine bar. One of the best scenes in PS if not the best. The staff is fantastic. Always do a great job making you feel at home.

Two great restaurants -- diner inside and outdoor seating next to pool -- plus a fun bar. Good quality food with a fun flair. Pay a few bucks extra and enjoy the pool and spa (open to guests not staying at hotel at certain times).

Perhaps the finest dining in Palm Springs. Alfresco seating in an intimate setting. I recommend the octopus though all their dishes are amazing.

If you're craving that extra healthy fresh salad, look no further. The entire restaurant is vegan but the flavors are great. I like the Azteca salad with a side of their vegan "chicken." Good for bringing to the park or back to the house.

Coffee, coffee, coffee! Pastries are pretty good, too. This is the North Palm Springs location located in a cozy out door commercial space. There's a few boutiques and shops to check out while enjoying your treats. It's a great place to go if you're up early.

The Purple Palm is located inside the Colony Palms Hotel. Great service, scene, food and wine. Even though we have a great space for entertaining and eating at our place, we always enjoy a trip to one of the many cool restaurants in Palm Springs.

Two distinct desert ecosystems, the Mojave and the Colorado, come together in Joshua Tree National Park. A fascinating variety of plants and animals make their homes in a land sculpted by strong winds and occasional torrents of rain. The park is about 1-1.5 hour drive north of Palm Springs.

Indian Canyons offer great hiking trails close to the house. If you are only going to hike at one place while in Palm Springs, this is it. You can hike Palm Canyon, Andreas Canyon, Murray Canyon, and a few other less known areas as well. Most of the trails in Indian Canyons follow running streams, and are abundant in California Fan Palms, and many other types of vegetation and wildlife. There is a fee to enter the area. To get to the Palm Springs Indian Canyons, take South Palm Canyon from Highway 111 and drive about two miles to the Indian Canyons tollgate. There are signs posted to help you find your way.
