The Emerson Estate is a glamorous 13-bedroom vacation rental that invites you to indulge in the desert lifestyle.
The vast grounds surrounding the Mediterranean-inspired villa are covered in swaths of lawn and dotted with palm trees. The scuptural pool rests in the middle of it all with unobstructed views of the mountains.
Everything you need for a day in the sun comes with the villa, including lounge chairs, umbrellas, and pool towels.
Steps from the house, you’ll also find a fully-equipped outdoor kitchen, a long dining table with seating for more than 20 guests, and a covered patio with a fireplace.
Indoors, the 13 bedrooms sleep up to 26 guests, with every detail thought out for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Guests rave about our signature bedding, which you will sink into for a sound night’s sleep.
The brand new kitchen is a cook’s playground. We’ve stocked it with all the basics and then some! You’ll find every size and style of cookware, pantry staples like olive oil, a massive stove, and more. Cook a feast for your guests, or hire one of our private chefs for an extra special affair.
The Emerson Estate is the prefect venue and has hosted elegant weddings, Revolve festival, corporate events, and you may have seen the property featured on Netflix's latest season of Selling Sunset.

This was the most spectacular venue that I’ve stayed at yet. Beautiful massive piece of property with fig trees, horses, and an amazing spanish style villa. The house has everything you could want and then some. I would love to come back here one day.

Michael,
Thank you so much for your authentic review! I appreciate the time that it took to write your feelings and thoughts out!
All of the staff here at The Emerson Estate strive to please our visiting Guests.
While it may "take an army" to maintain this 20-acre compound, the results are worth it when we get feedback like this!
We would be happy to host you and your family and friends again!
Until then- take care!

Christi,
Thank you for the nice review. You know what they say- "The Devil is in the details!" :)
It was indeed a pleasure to host your corporate group, I hope that they had some breakthrough conversations!
Please come back soon!

This property was perfect for our company's work retreat for 25 guests. The rooms all have king beds that can be split into twins so everyone had their own bed! The property is immaculately maintained and clean, the pool is divine at sunset, and the table set up fits at least 30 for dinner. And the property manager helped organize everything perfectly. We'll definitely return next year!
Amazingly beautiful property, every detail was sterling and no expensed spared. The property management was very accomodating with services, though the estimated cost and hours ended up pretty far off. That said, the stay was great enough we were still happy to pay despite the misestimations. would definitely stay again and recommend

"Jeff, Thank you for the kind words that you shared about The Emerson Estate. We do feel like we have a highly curated interior with an emphasis on entertaining and guest comfort. With that being said, your last comment was one that took me by surprise, and I do feel the need to address it herein. It was with great amounts of care and intention that we offered you our staffing services during your stay since it was a special occasion, and you were booking at the last minute for your Wife's 50th Birthday gathering. As I said at the beginning, all work times were estimates, and the final charges would be based on the total number of hours that were worked at the property. You added a number of different things to the weekend, which was not limited to: extra courses, extra guests, extra barware, and so on. All of these components required extra time for preparation and/or cleaning. The Chef was in plain sight of you all weekend, so I know that you are aware of how hard she worked, as well as the 20 free hours that I contributed personally to your event out of sheer good will. In the end, you decided to: A- arbitrarily NOT pay for all of the hours that were billed B- electively not leave ANY gratuity C- excuse yourself from paying the upholstery cleaning in full due to a coffee spill D- conveniently not bring the agreed upon amount of money with you in person that was to pay for services prior to your departure, instead we had to wait 5 days on Zelle.
Although it is a massive property, my friends and I were very pleased with the intimacy provided by each common space. We never felt like we were inside a cold mansion yet had enough space to never feel squeezed! Thanks to Diana especially for the open communication.
Gorgeous remote property with plenty of space both inside and out. Great accommodations to host a large group. Swam in the pool during the day and the game room at night. Kitchen facilities were excellent. And plenty of bedrooms for a large group. Will definitely not hesitate to rent again!
