About the host
Hosted by Margaret Gutierrez
Hi there! My husband and I were both born and raised in the beautiful Coachella Valley. We love cooking together, exploring local hiking trails, and discovering charming little towns. Whether it’s finding the perfect breakfast spot, enjoying a cozy dinner, or relaxing on the patio with some wine and the grill going—those are our favorite moments. Hosting lets us share a bit of that joy and hospitality with you. Welcome!
Why they chose this property
We chose Fern Valley for its perfect blend of nature and convenience—just minutes from hiking trails and downtown, yet peaceful and tucked away. The sunsets from the porch are absolutely stunning, and the quiet, walkable neighborhood has a calm, serene vibe that we truly love. Mornings start with birdsong, and if you're lucky, you might catch a glimpse of the local wildlife—like the gray fox, a curious skunk, or even the occasional bobcat. It’s a little slice of mountain magic.
What makes this property unique
What makes our place stand out is the perfect blend of cozy comfort and artistic charm. We’ve intentionally supported local artists and craftsmen to create a truly unique space. You’ll find hand-carved details throughout—from a bear and beehive sculpted into a tree, to the friendly bear that greets you at the steps, and a full-wall mural featuring a mosaic-style bear and blue jay, offering a beautiful, photo-worthy backdrop.
Inside, we’ve added warm, natural touches with custom live-edge pieces like the kitchen counter, coffee table, and fireplace mantle. And when it’s time to unwind, head to the backyard where you can relax in the hammock beneath the tall pine trees—perfect for an afternoon nap or stargazing at night. Every corner of the property is designed to invite comfort, creativity, and connection with nature.
