The Colony

Holiday Rental Description

On a corner spot surrounded by high hedges, this Palm Springs home feels private and peaceful. Inside, mid-century style mixes with tropical colours and patterns, which makes for quite a playful atmosphere. There's nothing shy about it, but we love the whimsical wallpaper choices and bold pops of colour. But the real draw here is the garden. As well as the oval-shaped pool, there’s a gas fire pit built into the ground, a croquet lawn and a barbecue, all with views of the San Jacinto Mountains. It's your own little oasis — you can easily spend all day cooling off in the pool and lounging in the sun. If you feel up for an adventure, downtown Palm Springs is just a twenty-minute walk away, and there are plenty of nature trails and hiking spots close by, too.
