About this property

Spacious, Comfortable, Stylish House with Privacy and Killer Views. Dogs Welcome

Welcome to your sunny, spacious, well-stocked, and chic home away from home. We designed the Biskra House to be the vacation rental we would like to rent, with a (beyond) fully equipped kitchen, stylish game room, fast Wifi, and super comfortable king-sized beds.

OUTSIDE
Relax under brilliant blue skies in the private, fenced south-west facing backyard, splash around in the large, heated pool, and enjoy a spectacular sunset from the built-in spa. Make your co-workers jealous and have your video meetings with the mountains in the background; the WiFi works well outside, too. Grill dinner for everyone and enjoy your feast at the covered outdoor dining area. Around the fire table is a perfect place for a nightcap and chat, and there’s a propane heater and outdoor blankets to make it extra cozy.

The lounge area features comfortable living room-style outdoor furniture, four lounge chairs, a propane fire table, and a portable heater. There’s an umbrella, too, for when you’ve had enough sun.

There are a couple of places to enjoy alfresco meals. Three cafe tables around the pool are the perfect place to bring your morning coffee and a laptop, while the outdoor dining table comfortably seats eight under a pergola with string lights. There’s a propane grill just outside the casita, and did we mention that the casita has a second full-sized refrigerator and dishwasher?

There are pool towels, pool floats, outdoor blankets, dishes, and glasses for all-day fun in the sun.

INSIDE
There's plenty to do when the sun goes down, too. with a pool table, foosball, board games and books, fast Wifi, and premium streaming and live TV.

The living room, dining room, and kitchen are open concept with indoor-outdoor flow and plenty of seating for everyone to lounge, dine, and hang out in the kitchen and chat.

A dedicated game room features a pool table, foosball, bar tables, and stools, card and board games, and built-in speakers.

The kitchen is more than fully stocked, with a six-burner Viking cooktop, convection oven, small appliances galore, and about every cooking tool you can think of. A roomy kitchen island has seating for four to keep the cooks company.

BEDROOMS
All bedrooms include wifi, flat-screen TVs with streaming services and live TV, HBO and Showtime, and roomy bathrooms with premium bath products. They also include blackout curtains and ridiculously comfortable beds for those of us who find a good night's sleep to be the ultimate in luxury.

There are three bedrooms and three bathrooms in the main house: Bedroom One has a California king-sized bed, desk, private patio. en-suite bathroom with a whirlpool tub, spacious shower, and double sinks. Bedroom Two has a California king bed and an en-suite bathroom with a large shower. Bedroom Three has two XL-twin beds and a shared bathroom, and Bedroom Four is in the separate casita, and it has a California king bed, kitchen with coffee maker, fridge, and dishwasher, and en-suite bathroom with a shower.

WORKSPACES
The Biskra House is digital nomad ready with two desks (in Bedroom One and the casita), a laser printer, good WiFi indoors and out, and lots of tables and chairs that make good temporary workstations. Need a pen, notebook, stapler or scissors? We’ve got you covered.

EXTRAS
We’ll spoil you with a welcome goody basket, great-smelling hand soaps and cleaning supplies, premium bath products, fresh office supplies, and starter supplies of paper products. Your dog is welcome (with prior approval), and we’ll leave a bed and bowls for them. Pool floats, pool towels, outdoor blankets, and non-breakable dishes will be waiting for you along with plenty of dishes, glasses, utensils and serving dishes, premium bed linens, and towels.

LOCATION
If you can muster the enthusiasm to leave the comforts of the Biskra House, there's plenty to do. Movies, shopping, dining, and coffee are within walking distance. Golf, tennis, and hiking trails are near. Prefer an architecture tour, scooter ride, casino night, or concert? These are just a few of the area attractions - get in touch with us today so we can help you plan the perfect vacation.

Available for stays 28 nights or longer. Pool heat is included in the rental rate.

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!

About the host

Hosted by Beth Fortune

Host profile image
I am an interior designer who lives in Los Angeles with my USC professor husband, Peter. We love the freedom of working from anywhere and we travel as much as we can. When we're not traveling we're total homebodies who cook a lot, enjoy a good cocktail, and an occasionally heated game of dominoes or cards with friends.

Why they chose this property

A few years ago Peter and I spent our first weekend in Palm Springs together. A half-hour after arriving in the desert I saw an unfamiliar look of relaxation settle on my husband's face, and by the end of the weekend, we were both enchanted with the quiet, the bright stars and the blue skies of the desert.

We love the Magnesia Falls neighborhood and were thrilled when we found what would become the Biskra House. We hope you feel the same sense of relaxation we feel in this house, and that it makes you as happy as it makes us.

What makes this property unique

It was important for us to find a home that embodied the California indoor/outdoor lifestyle, and this house fits the bill. We love the intense blue skies, the mountain views, and, of course, the sparkling pool. Riley loves sunbathing and thinks that 3600 square feet are just about right for a 12-pound dog.
