The Rock House

Holiday Rental Description

In the dramatic desert landscape of Araby Cove, this little rustic gem could almost be mistaken for part of the rocky hillside. But is that a chimney we spy? And aren’t those sun loungers? A round cottage, built from stone, it’s cosy and cute. Perched on a hilltop, the views from the yard and the huge picture-frame window at the heart of the living space are simply breathtaking. Inside, the stone walls and circular wooden ceiling ooze boho chic. The four-poster bed, tucked into one side, provides a luxurious sleeping nook and candles in the stone fireplace add a touch of romance. The cottage-style kitchen is compact but has everything you could need. Besides, there's a barbecue and dining area on the patio for meals under the desert stars. The area is said to be a ‘wind free zone’, with great hiking and mountain bike trails on the doorstep, and Palm Springs is just a short drive away.

Home truths:
* It's pretty compact inside, just right for a romantic getaway with your loved one
* Though near the trails, you might need a car to get around and explore more of Palm Springs
