Great Stay in La Quinta

This is a great location with close access to many services and a 5 minute drive to Old Town La Quinta. Kitchen was well stocked and outside area is very nice and expansive. Could use a bit more storage options and night lamps in bedrooms. But we loved our time here and will likely be back.

Home Away From Home

My husband and I stayed in this fantastic desert retreat for 5 weeks. The house is beautiful and so accommodating for family gatherings. The grocery stores are an easy walk away. The large yard and pool were amazing. We loved the view of the mountains! Skip was always accessible if we had any questions. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

Amazing house!

We had such a fabulous trip and loved staying at this property. The house is beautiful, the yard and pool were amazing. We loved hanging out day and night at the pool and using the hot tub. The beds were all so comfortable. The location is great too! Great food and things to do all in close proximity. When we come back to Palm Springs we can’t wait to stay here again!

Amazing Thanksgiving Stay

The outdoor area is amazing with plenty for all of us to do. Lovely sitting areas, fire pit, pool, bocce ball etc. Skip was always accessible if we had questions and made our stay vey easy. We definitely hope to stay here again. It was perfect!

So Much Awesomeness

I can’t say enough good things about the host, Skip, or the house. In times of Covid, our bubble took a “staycation” in a house that was not our own, and it was awesome. This house was plenty big for 5 of us, with the outside being our main hang location. Skip was a pleasure to deal with from day 1. We are hoping to make this an annual vaca spot.

Perfect House for a Group

This home was amazing! Our group was 10 adults and we fit comfortably in the house (2 on air mattresses). The home is fresh and clean, and the outdoor area is to die for. Mountain views, hot tub, pool, bocce ball, horseshoes, fire pit - it was all incredible. The info booklet provided by the owner made using all the equipment in the house a breeze. We had the wrong door code when we arrived, but Skip was immediately responsive and helped us get in right away. He was extremely easy to communicate with and understanding of our changing travel plans. The location was close to tons of restaurants, grocery stores, and activities. We would absolutely stay here again. Thanks, Skip!

This place was JUST the getaway we needed..

I cannot say enough great things about this rental.. The house is beautiful and situated in a quiet neighborhood, but is within either walking distance or a short Uber to lots of great shopping, restaurants, etc. Coming from Canada in Jan/Feb we were THRILLED to be able to use the pool (fabulous) and hot tub, and the weather was warm enough for us to lay around and get some sun during the day and go out in the evenings. It was great - thanks Skip!!

Perfect family getaway house.

House was spacious and worked perfectly for 7 adults and 2 children. Pool and spa were the highlight of the trip and they received a lot of use. Kitchen was well stocked with plenty of pots, pans and utensils. We appreciated the kitchen and laundry appliances. We played a lot of bocce. Really nice location. Liked having the mountain beside the place. The owner was proactive and responsive. Clear instructions on how to use the spa, access cushions, TV etc. Close enough to the centre of La Quinta, but plenty of grocery stores nearby. Easy access everywhere, whether to Palm Springs, Indian Wells, La Quinta, or Joshua Tree. Very close to the tennis centre at Indian Wells. We would return in a heartbeat.

Love it!

Was in the area for the Ironman 70.3. Quiet neighborhood, beautiful mountain view. Perfect location for our needs and a great home base for two families to relax together. House was very clean and organized inside. Access to the garage a big plus. Great yard & pool (with pool noodles and floaties!). So nice to have eight dining room chairs so we could all sit together while eating meals and playing board games. Already thinking about when we can get back.

About the host

Hosted by Skip Lanfried

We are 4th/5th generation Californians who have been fortunate enough to have traveled the world, but no matter what, we find ourselves always coming back to the desert.

Why they chose this property

We were already very familiar with the area and found a bank owned property that had sat empty and unloved for several years, this property was a true diamond in the rough. We are thrilled with the way it turned out. La Quinta has something for everyone. We hope you will find it a restful place to get away.

What makes this property unique

YOU CAN WALK TO FIFTEEN LOCAL RESTAURANTS, THREE MARKETS (INCLUDING TRADER JOES and ALDI) AND A LUXURY MOVIE THEATER. Close to everything you think you want to do. Or, you can do nothing and just lay around by the pool and spa, which is fine, too.
