The Getaway, Boutique Vacation Rentals - Desert Hot Springs, CA

Everything we were looking for in our secluded and mesmerisingly beautiful desert escape! Perfect for those who seek a peaceful time to be at one with the desert- an unbeatable location right in between Palm Springs and Joshua Tree, yet Desert Hot Springs has a truly unique flavour of its own. The beautiful, mid-century style pool area was lovely and quiet and secluded (what more could you want!) we also loved the characterful collection of books in our apartment. We felt both completely transported and totally at home. Thoroughly recommend this for a desert getaway!

I loved everything about this stay at The Getaway. The apartment, the stunning views, the decor, the location, and the ease of booking all of it. Eric, our host, was more than welcoming and gave straightforward instructions for checking in. He was on site for our stay and it was lovely talking to him. The apartment was very clean with a comfy bed and lots of little design details. Good locale for Joshua Tree National Park. I would recommend this if you are staying in Desert Hot Springs.

We really enjoyed our stay! The host was very helpful and accommodating and the room was so lovely. Highly recommended!

The Getaway is our favorite place to stay in the desert. The mid century modern vide is beautifully done both outside and in. The rooms are all very comfortable. Over the years we have tried them all. Often it is just my wife and I, but last year we took over most of rooms and the whole family celebrated Thanksgiving with my 96 year old mother who lives in Desert Hot Springs. The location is great and the views are breathtaking. Eric is a gracious, thoughtful and wonderful host.

We loved our stay at the Getaway! We were in the area for a wedding and the location was perfect for all the various activities. Surrounding area was somewhat residential and very quiet. The rooms were comfortable and we were proved everything we needed. Beds were comfy, too. During our down time we enjoyed the common area patio and pool.

Super cute place! Our room was decorated in vintage style and it was fun browsing through the books and vintage items in all the rooms - including dishes! It was very quiet (we stayed 2 weeknights) and the neighbors were courteous. We hike and adventure all day long, so we appreciated the quiet. The small 5-plex building sits atop a small hill and our room (#4) had a bit of a view over Desert Hot Springs and the pool/hot tub. It's near the Mission Creek, Pioneertown and Whitewater Creek Preserve areas, which is why we chose this location. It was easy to shoot up to Hwy 62 to the preserves. All the usual amenities made The Getaway comfortable. It is a bit off the beaten path and not really within walking distance of a lot of restaurants and shops, which was fine for us.

The Getaway is really what it says on the box. You wake up to a perfect view of Mt San Jacinto, and the valley stretched out below where Palm Springs lies. The accommodation itself is superb. Every bit of detail has been thought about. It is like stepping back in time to a chic but cool 1950's holiday unit. The decor and little touches make it feel as if you are returning to your own holiday home: magazines, books, music, board games. A good sized lounge, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Then there is the pool area which is a sheltered sunny spot to lie and enjoy the quiet of the desert. We also met the lovely owner Eric who pointed out places to visit in the area. We took his advice and had an unforgettable weekend. Highly recommend.

we stayed at the getaway to attend a concert this past weekend. I have to say that I read the reviews and there were a few negative , but most of them positive, we decided to try it out.. Eric was an exceptional host that was very friendly and accommodating,..he made sure our stay was fabulous and very relaxing. we had the whole place to ourselves ,,apparently it's off season in Coachella valley , which was to our benefit . it was a very nostalgic place and gave those feelings when we walked into our room. the decor made me feel like a kid again and the place was IMMACULATE.. SUPER CLEAN and smelled so nice. very good pricing for the room and there is a fee but it's disclosed in the contract , which isn't bad considering the amenities and work and thought into making guests comfortable and content . I will come back to stay even just to get out of traffic and crowds of Los Angeles . thank you getaway for an amazing getaway . and thanks Eric for this gem in the desert. you guys have to stay there ..it's wonderful
