My husband and I stopped here for a couple of days and wished we could have stayed longer. They have really got it right; casual home-y atmosphere combined with spotless rooms and grounds and sophisticated touches like homemade granola and good books. Karl is the perfect host: there to help when you need him, ready for a chat if you... More

Great place to stay! Beautiful grounds, such a lovely oasis in the midst of the desert! Karl is a good host---not intrusive but available and a good "guide" to dining spots in the area (try Trio in Palm Springs, also South of the Border in DHS) Also, Vanessa, who "subbed" for a few days, is great. And, not to overlook... More

My friends and I were looking for a nice place to have a massage at a place that had the mineral water and we couldn't have chosen a nicer place! While we didn't stay here (conference in Palm Springs) we were able to enjoy the luscious grounds and incredible pools before and after our treatments. This property is truly an... More

Overall it was very pleasant, this property is a very intimate and private lodging, please don't be mislead. So the breakdown as always: Imagine a very nice Spanish villa with multiple rooms with a beautiful pool and jacuzzi on well kept grounds. The mini pathway and bocce and fire pit made it very peaceful. The pool is big enough for... More

Our first stay at this wonderfully private, beautifully landscaped little inn was in 2006. We have been back many times over the past few years. There are only six rooms, so even if it is full, it is very quiet and peaceful. The rooms are well appointed, not overdone. Most have a private little patio on the back of the... More

My boyfriend from Australia and I (from LA) wanted a mini vacation in to the Desert in Oct. but I was clear I don't like the flash golf resort style of Palm Springs as boutiques hotels are more to my liking. I have been reviewing many places in Desert Hot Springs for several years now and the Hacienda has always... More

The stay was perfect in every way. Karl made sure that everyone felt comfortable and had what they needed. Sandra kept everything very clean and lit the candles at night. It was a perfect escape to an oasis of bliss!

We had a wonderful & relaxing stay after visiting with elderly parents for 3 weeks. We had the entire place to ourselves most of the time (following the turkey day rush) sharing the grounds only with Socrates the cat who was so friendly he followed us into our room one evening (he could tell he was welcome). He mostly slept... More

I cannot say enough nice things about Karl, who went above and beyond the call of duty to help me surprise my wife with a truly romantic marriage proposal. I got in touch with Karl a few weeks before our visit to work out the details, and he pulled it all together to make it something that my wife and... More
