Enjoyed having you as guests and thank you for taking such good care of Cat Creek cabin. Really appreciated the communication on your arrival and hope you’ll return!
Cat Creek Cabin is marvelous. Indescribable view over the Coachella Valley. Secluded but 5 mins to downtown Palm Desert. Lovely grounds. Quaint homestead cabin & beautiful casita. Wonderful stay. Owners are very attentive and helpful. We hope to be back again & again.
On our 2nd stay at this unique, creative, expansive view property we once again felt right at home.
The Living Desert and all of Palm Desert amenities are an easy close drive. Gail, the host, has owned this property for many years and greets you with a fun tour and cares for this property with a passion!!!!
We are so happy we booked our first trip to Palm Desert at the fabulous Cat Creek Cabin. The property is wonderful, as well as the history surrounding it. Gorgeous desert gardens, lovely patios and stunning views. The hosts are warm and welcoming. You can't get much better than this!
From the minute we met Gail and heard her story and the history of the cabin we knew we had chosen the perfect place for our stay. We spent most of our time outside on the spacious patio and evenings around the fire pit. The views are unmatched. Getting up for the sunrise is a must, but if you miss it, the sunsets are equally beautiful. Inside the cabin is cozy and comfortable. It is well stocked with everything you will need. The casita was perfect for our 2 adult children. Gail was readily available for any questions or needs. Don’t think twice about booking!
Theme music from The Good then Bad and the Ugly might as well be playing everytime you step out of this beautifully renovated historic desert homestead. I can't quite put into words the connection I instantly felt for the place and surrounding desert. Maybe it's because I'm from the east coast, or possibly my love for Marty Robbins gunfighter ballads that made me feel so at home here. We traveled all around California and each place was beautiful but I know for a fact we will be back to visit this amazing property and amazing host. Thank you.
Gail was such a gracious and wonderful host and it is incredible what she has built in this beautiful, recluse neighborhood. If you want to get off the beaten path to tranquility and beauty this is the place for you. We would have stayed longer here if we could have. We will be back.
Excellent. Gorgeous view, wonderful location. Gail and George are a great couple , helpful and very interesting to visit with. The only thing I would ask for is hotter water and increased pressure in the shower. Otherwise a perfect stay.
Thank you so Gail for making our stay amazing with your very unique property, this property just hugs you from the moment you arrive. The view and tranquility are to die for. Such a special place, it will always bring us great memories or our stay.

It was great to have Greg and his friends have their celebration at our cliffside cabin! He was easy to communicate with, very mindful of taking care of our Homestead cabin and left everything beautifully clean. Would very much look forward to his return!
This beautiful Cahuilla Hills property was the perfect place to stay for my husband's and my 20th wedding anniversary. Our host, Gail met us upon arrival and gave us a tour of all of the wonderful upgrades she and her family have made to the casitas and grounds. It is clear that a lot of love and attention went into making this a true oasis for the mind, body and spirit. The casitas are well-appointed. The gardens are stunning and attract a large variety of birds, which was wonderful for us bird-watching types. The views of the mountains and valley were amazing. It was truly one of the nicest places we ever stayed. We look forward to returning!
This, once upon a time, homestead home is now the most charming, rustic hide-a-way in the hills of Palm Desert. Perfectly spotless inside and out! The interior decor is comfortable, creative & unique and the exterior landscape of natural plantings is thought out beautifully and perfectly maintained. And the property has a view we could not take our eyes off of!!!! It is also an easy drive to The Living Desert or downtown Palm Desert.....My husband and I highly recommend a stay here for a private, quiet and very special place to take a break!!!!

What an absolutely wonderful couple to have stay in our cabin! Wonderfully communicative, appreciative of our efforts to make Cat Creek a magical place, and poetic and their descriptions! The cabin could not have received more care, would be thrilled to have them back to stay again!
The property owner Gail was incredible and the house and surroundings were very charming. This rustic cabin is perched high above the valley and has wonderful views. Peaceful but within minutes of excellent shopping. Thanks!

Amazing and Spiritual!
Quiet, beautiful, peaceful and connected are the words I would use to describe this Jewel of a Cabin. My friend and I stayed here over Coachella weekend and can I say it was difficult to leave each day to attend the festival. We loved everything about this space and will definitely be back again. Thank you Gail...for sharing this treasure with the world.
I travel in many countries presenting international leadership projects and when I return to the desert I head straight for Cat Creek to continue the landscape projects I started years ago. I love riding my appaloosa horse into the desert canyons and hiking in the trails behind the cabin. I love welcoming visitors from all over the world as they explore the Coachella Valley!
What makes this property unique
The entire beautiful 2 1/2 acre property sits behind a privacy gate with a code and is all yours to enjoy! Enjoy the stunning sunrise with your morning coffee/tea, the spectacular colorful sunsets, and the multiple cliffside seating spots for romantic viewing of the moonrise and city lights in the mild magical evenings!
