Neighborhood

Located in the rocky northwest corner of Palm Springs, just south of Chino Canyon on the edge of the Little Tuscany neighborhood, sit half a dozen or so architecturally significant private homes, including the Kaufman Desert House, built between the mid 1940s and the late 1960s. Although some of the houses are not as visible from the street as most modernists would prefer, there’s still enough to see and appreciate in this area. Only 5 minutes from down town Palm Springs.

The Great Escape was PERFECTION! I came down for long weekend with friends to celebrate my birthday. The home was 100% the description and GORGEOUS. Every detail of the fun mid-century modern decor was spot on. It was fun to be the light environment and Rikke was extremely responsive and communicative. I highly recommend the Great Escape home for visit to Palm Springs.

Our stay here was truly incredible. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and cared for — the thoughtful touch of having non-alcoholic beverages ready for us made a lasting impression and set the tone for a safe and restorative stay. The linens were fresh, the bed was incredibly comfortable, and every detail matched (or exceeded) the description provided. The toiletries were high quality, and we were especially impressed with the washing essentials provided for clothing — such a helpful amenity. Communication was seamless, with super fast and kind responses whenever we had a question. Overall, a true 10 out of 10 experience. We are so grateful for the hospitality and are already looking forward to staying here again!

This is one of the most perfect Airbnbs we’ve ever stayed at! Location was ideal-to enjoy mountain views from the pool, hot tub, and living room, but also 8 mins to downtown PS. Super comfortable bedding, dining areas, and living room; and spotless! Little things like blackout curtains in the bedrooms and labels on all the drawers made it effortless to live in a new place for a week! Rikke is such a kind and welcoming host! Just an all-around perfect stay in PS!

We had a wonderful stay in Palm Springs. The house was absolutely adorable and very spacious for my husband and me, my parents, and my sister. Each room had its own bathroom which was very nice. The backyard was great. We took advantage of the beautiful weather every day. It was still too cold to swim, but we enjoyed using the hot tub. This location was very convenient to downtown, and we were able to easily drive there daily. We would absolutely stay again.

The home was a perfect retreat in a fantastic location. Situated in a quiet neighborhood, it was just a short drive or pleasant 1-2 mile walk from numerous restaurants and shopping areas. The interior was immaculately clean and well-furnished, providing all the comforts we needed during our stay. The highlight was definitely the outdoor area, which featured both a pool and hot tub—perfect for relaxation after exploring the surrounding area. Overall, this rental property offered the ideal balance of convenience, comfort, and tranquility. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with easy access to local amenities.

Our stay was wonderful. The home is beautiful, very well stocked and close to downtown Palm Springs. Our host was very helpful and answered so many questions. Always responded right away and let us drop our bags early at the home so we could get to the tennis match. So many wonderful extras at the home a the back yard is AMAZING!! Highly recommend.
