We loved the location. Very convenient in a really nice neighborhood. The views of the mountains are amazing. The master bedroom is well designed and a real retreat. Personally I loved the games room. Enjoyed many games on the pool table (even though I lost). We also appreciated that the pool heating was included in the price. We had some things that needed attention during our stay, but everything was handled very promptly.

Perfect Place to Getaway and Relax!

My wife and I plus standard poodle had a very relaxing weekend at the Biskra House - the house was very clean, well appointed and even nicer than the pictures depicted - the outdoor area is huge and enjoys a great view of the mountains and afternoon sun which was great for enjoying the spa and pool. The house is equipped with everything you can think of even an iPhone 5 adapter (really?!) and the kitchen is a dream for aspiring cooks. It is located in a very quiet neighborhood that is close to all the best restaurants and shopping in the desert. Great place - have already recommended to friends and hope to visit again when we feel the need to recharge!

Thank you, Jeff. Glad to hear Paxton made it, too. You were right - we saw no sign of him. I am a believer in the shed-less poodle! Thank you for being such considerate guests, we look forward to having you back soon. -Beth

Luxurious Desert Retreat

House was absolutely beautiful, extremely well stocked and organized, comfortable, and conveniently located. Everything looks just as it does in the pictures, if not better. Was the perfect retreat from the craziness of Coachella, and we thoroughly enjoyed the tranquility and spaciousness of the backyard. Also really appreciated having dark towels provided so we wouldn’t have to worry about getting makeup, etc on white towels. They really thought of everything at this amazing property. Wish I could move in here!

Stunning and stylish!

Just returned from the most fantastic wknd at the Biskra house! It was amazing. The house is absolutely gorgeous and it is clear the owner has spent a significant amount of time and energy to make sure her guests have the best visit possible. Yoga mats, outdoor blankets, PS2 games...I could go on. Not one detail has been overlooked. The house is stylish, fun and welcoming all at the same time. It is very dog friendly with a fenced in backyard and dog bowls for your four legged friend. I also have two little children and didn't have to worry about sharp corners or stairs. I have spent many years renting in Rancho Mirage and this is by far the best rental I have stayed in. I will be back (assuming there is availabilty after word of this little gem in the desert spreads).

ANNUAL PALM SPRINGS TRIP

We have made it a tradition to visit the Biskra house for our yearly Palm Springs trip. The house is fantastic. Extreme attention to details, the kitchen is stocked with all the essentials, the rooms are amazing, and they have everything you may need to enjoy your vacation in one’s “home away from home”. The recently added a fire pit which was great to sit around at night! Beth and Eva are amazing to deal with. They communicate back in a timely manner, are extremely friendly, and will accommodate just about anything you may need for your trip. One of the main reasons we come back is because of Beth/Eva are great to deal with and they add personal touches to make our trip extra special! Those do not go unnoticed ladies! We have recommended the Bisra home to our friends and family and will continue to do so. We cannot thank you enough for providing such a wonderful place for us to stay. "See" ya next year!

Fabulous

We stay at the Biskra home for my birthday weekend getaway and we LOVED the house. The home had everything we needed, and more, to make our stay perfect. We will defiantly be staying here again and would recommend this house in a heartbeat. The modern yet cozy design is amazing. The attention to details are spot on! The home details on the website were extremely accurate regarding the location, the amenities, the photos of the house etc The home was very well maintained, clean, and stocked with everything we needed ( pool towels, outside dishes etc). There are manuals and diagrams to help us utilize all the amazing up to date electronics ( air play- outside speakers etc ) Best customer service I have ever received when dealing with a vacation rental - beth and Eva were at our service with any questions we had. Beth got back to our emails promptly (which we loved -thank you). Both Eva and Beth were just a phone call away! Thanks again!

“Vacation in the lap of Luxury”

Biskra home is a centerfold right out of Architectural Digest. Every room beautifully appointed with warmth and personality, studio artwork throughout the home for your artistic appreciation. Bedrooms are 5 star hotel worthy, comfort - you'll be sleeping in everyday! Bathrooms are spacious, comfortable, full of amenities; towels so thick & plush - they feel like a bear hug! Where do I even start with the kitchen? Restaurant quality stocked, if there is an appliance made for a kitchen - you'll find it here. Large island bring family close for meal prep, conversation and enjoyment. Step outside to your oasis.... enormous pool, resort style furniture including plus lounge chairs (perfect for napping), couch around the firepit. Barbecue next to your alfresco dining table surrounded in ambiance from the lantern solar lighting, twinkle lights that dance while your dining. There is a casita, that was perfect for my son, wife and 2 month old. Private for them, which included a kitchen perfect for late night feedings; and didn't disturb anyone in the main house. This property will exceed your expectations! Thank you for the perfect vacation, we will be back!!!

A Fabulous Property

The Biskra House in Magnesia Falls Cove was everything we had hoped for. We just spent two months in this fabulous home and have already booked for next year. The house is located in a quiet, beautiful and safe residential neighbourhood within walking distance to The River with movie theatres, restaurants and shopping. At each end of the street there are walking trails at the base of the mountains where we enjoyed walking our little dog. The views of the mountains are spectacular from the house. Beth was an exceptional owner/property manager responding to our questions and issues immediately. She was wonderful to deal with ensuring that our holiday was perfect. The house is spacious with three bedrooms and three bathrooms in the main house plus a separate casita with another king bed, bathroom and kitchen. The bedrooms are located in such a way that everyone had privacy. The beds are extremely comfortable and the bedding is luxurious. The large bathrooms are equipped with lovely amenities such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand lotion, etc. The kitchen is large and equipped with everything required to have either a casual meal by the pool or a large gourmet dinner. Beth has thought of everything. The decor in the home is stunning with beautiful artwork and colours. I read several books from her library and the family enjoyed the games in the games room. But the highlight for us was the back yard. It is fabulous with several seating areas, lounge chairs, and a gorgeous heated pool and spa which were a hit with our kids and grandkids. It is very private and fenced. I loved having my morning coffee in the sun by the pool. We also had several meals at the dining table in the back yard conveniently located next to the casita kitchen and propane grill. We have been staying in Rancho Mirage for about 8 years now but The Biskra House is the best property we have ever stayed at. We are grateful to Beth for sharing her gorgeous desert home with us and making us feel so welcome. The welcome basket with snacks, champagne and wine was very thoughtful and appreciated. We can’t wait to return next year.

Beautiful Biskra

We would stay in the Biskra house again in a heartbeat. The location could not have been better. It's walking distance to shops and many restaurants but if you want to cook at home the kitchen is fully equipped. The beds were comfortable and the outdoor area patio and pool are perfection.

Palm Springs pandemic relief!

The house was well laid out with everything clearly marked .it was fabulous layout and accommodated 8 people comfortably. The bedrooms were perfectly separate to allow privacy for everyone. The location was great, walking distance to some of the stores and close to hiking and golf. We really enjoyed the place and hope to return next year. Thanks again Beth and Carol

Wonderful Vacation Home!

The Biskra House (Magnesia Falls Cove) is absolutely beautiful! The house felt welcoming and clean from the moment we arrived. Beth sent an email before we arrived with plenty of details about the house which helped us prepare and pack accordingly. The house is spacious, nicely decorated, and the beds and furniture are very comfortable. The kitchen is generously stocked with gadgets and great appliances. The separate casita is the perfect little “apartment” for an older teen or another couple. The house managers, Carol and Jeff, are great communicators. They quickly responded to our texts and questions. The house is in a great location in Rancho Mirage. The neighborhood is quiet, and the house is conveniently located near shopping and restaurants. There was so much to do when we weren’t relaxing at the house, hanging out in the game room, or lounging in the pool. We had a great time and we hope to be back to stay at the Biskra House again next summer. One month was not long enough!

Amazing vacation!

Wow - this house completely lived up to all the wonderful reviews. Communication prior was prompt and friendly and the owner provided a wealth of pre trip information! Check in was easy and the house was immaculate. All the rooms was stylishly decorated and very comfortable. We really appreciated that each night stand had charging ports with plus and USB outlets. Kitchen was very well equipped and all the cabinets and drawers had labels so you didn't have to randomly open them to find things. The pools and spa were much appreciated and the lounging area was well used. The weather was pleasant enough to enjoy a meal or two outside. The pillows, linens and towels were all high quality. Our only complaint was that we did not book enough days! We would definitely stay here again!

Awesome

The Biskra House checked all the boxes for us. Great house and floor plan, super pool, good location, and owners that truly understand short-term rentals. Listen the house is not inexpensive, but it was worth every penny for us. If you are on the fence about renting, do yourself a favor and rent it. Trust me you will not regret it.

Like having a private boutique hotel!

Everything was lovely. The owner has thought of everything so that you can just enjoy your vacation. There are EO products in the bathrooms (including shampoo, conditioner, and bodywash), fluffy white towels, excellent kitchen tools and cookware, pool towels, yoga mats, etc. We visited during the pandemic and everything was spotlessly clean. We were even provided with some disposable masks, clorox wipes and hand sanitizer. The neighborhood was quiet and close to many great restaurants for pick-up or delivery. I can't wait to return.

Paradise! Especially if you love to cook.

We had the best week at this beautiful property! We love to cook and we could not believe how we had every cooking tool we needed, the house is so well stocked. The kids LOVED the old fashion milkshake machine and popsicle molds. The outdoor dishes are fully stocked. The drawers are labeled so you do t have to look and look for things. The pool is the perfect size and temperature and there were pool floaties for Us to enjoy! And Beth is so helpful and kind. It was all so easy! We are sad to leave.

Perfect in every way

This house is incredibly beautiful, complete, and convenient to everything. Perfect is the word that comes to mind every time I think of it. We wanted for nothing. We even found a cigar cutter. Not that we used it; this was s girls’ getaway. We started every day saying, I just love this house. And it was repeated frequently throughout the day. It is open, spacious, and beautifully and thoughtfully decorated. It was so clean we did not find even a speck of dust, and marveled at what a super human cleaning crew the owner must employ. The heated pool was our main destination daily, but El Paseo is minutes away. And the house sits just off Rt 111, which brings you to every amenity quickly and easily. We had friends who live in the area come for lunch. Their home is beautiful, but they were openly envious of even our temporary stay in such a dazzling space. Beth and Jennifer (owner and manager) were a joy to deal with. Beth provided a wealth of information for our stay, and Jennifer was on hand within moments to help with our operator errors (eg, we were three mature non-tech ladies trying to figure out a smart tv). Jennifer was quickly responsive, and very patient. We hated to leave, and can’t wait to go back.

Such a beautiful a place; We felt so well cared for and left refreshed and renewed.

First of all the views from inside and out are magnificent. The home is beautifully situated. Looking out the front windows to the "mirage" upon the mountains is breathtaking, as are the views toward the back and sides, including from the courtyard. The neighborhood also is lovely and so close to shops and amenities, and a short drive to the entry to some great hiking trails. The home is beautifully designed and decorated, with every amenity possible ... so thoughtfully accommodating and comfortable. Sparkling in every detail, as are the well outfitted courtyard and beautiful refreshing pool and jacuzzi. Jennifer was a thorough, gracious, thoughtful host in helping us get situated with whatever was needed and we couldn't help but feel the love which was apparent to us, that Beth has put into this home.

Perfect home in great location

In a quiet corner of Magnesia Falls, a few minutes from The River, is a beautiful house that is well-appointed and large enough for 8 to sleep. A walking path begins 3 houses from this home, allowing you to walk on an easy gravel path seeing the mountains above and valley below. 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, plus a casita with a king bed and full bathroom. All of the supplies needed for a working kitchen are included. The house is bright and warm, with a comfortable dining and living room. Bluetooth sound is throughout, in portable speakers as well as in-wall bluetooth sound systems allowing us to play music from our phones. The pool was lovely, with more than enough places to sit both in the sun as well as in the shade. Check-in was very easy, as was checking out. Our only disappointment is that the house was not available for our trip next year. Thank you for a wonderful week!
