Description Mountain Palm Sway: Palm Springs

Mountain views, a pool, a hot tub and a fire pit – you’re well set at this Palm Springs home. The backyard is the main event, with space to eat outside, a barbecue and enough going on that you may not head out much. Inside, vaulted ceilings keep things light, and the open layout works well for groups, with a kitchen set up for cooking together. One bedroom opens straight onto the pool, which is a nice perk. The garage doubles as a gym with a Peloton if you’re feeling motivated. You’re a short drive from downtown Palm Springs for restaurants and galleries, while Joshua Tree National Park is about an hour away.

Home truths:
*The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.

*The third bedroom has a single bed with a pull-out bed – we think it’s best suited to children.

*There’s free parking for up to two cars on the driveway.
