About this property

Private Oasis in Indian Wells

My home welcomed its first guest December, 2013. I took it off the site for four years and after an update, it is now available again. If you are looking for a luxury home for your desert experience, this is it!
Well known designer, Marc Blackwell, practicing in the desert and in New York, refreshed the house to bring it to a more contemporary and updated level. From Marc Blackwell: "Jo is so committed to the comfort of her guests that her concern is about keeping everything pristine, completely stylish and up dated. It was a pleasure help her with those goals."
Situated in the heart of an upscale residential neighborhood of Indian Wells. This home is a short distance from the Palm Springs International Airport, centrally located among the other desert communities, restaurants, golf courses, shopping and home to the Tennis Garden. This property is only available for long term leases with a minimum of one month.
Inside the home you will enjoy the open floor plan, accented with handmade oriental carpets, which opens to the outdoor space, creating one large living area. The primary suite has a king size bed, TV, en-suite bath with a tub and separate shower, a large walk-in closet and has French doors which open to the outdoor living space. The junior suite has a queen size bed, TV, en-suite bath with a large shower and a spacious walk-in closet. The third bedroom space is set up as a den which easily converts to a bedroom with a queen sleeper sofa. The den is ready for a work space, hanging out watching tv, or additional sleeping space with a roomy walk-in closet. All walk-in closets have sets of drawers.
The home is equipped, outdoors as well as indoors, for a luxury stay. Several French doors open from the main house to join the indoors living space to the outdoor living space which boasts a lovely private salt water spa and pool situated in a spacious tropical paradise with a southern exposure. Arranged on outdoor area rugs, comfortable and stylish outdoor furniture, dining set, outdoor fire pits, and a gas grill provide an additional covered living space to settle into on our beautiful desert days and evenings.
The property has stylish and sophisticated decor throughout, a gourmet kitchen which includes a professional gas range, a Sub Zero refrigerator, as well as, multiple small appliances. The kitchen offers the items needed to entertain groups of friends or intimate dinners for two. Several LeCreuset items are available to use for your favorite dishes. An additional refrigerator is located in the spacious three car garage which has a clean epoxy floor. Right off the kitchen is a separate laundry room that has a front loading washer and a front loading dryer.
You are sure to have wonderful memories after your time in the desert.

Fabulous Indian Wells Home

This home was more enjoyable than we could have imagined. The major attraction to us was the unparalleled back yard. It was our favorite place to enjoy. The palm trees are majestic, the pool and hot tub wonderful, and the covered patio is furnished with a lovely conversation area as well as dinning table. At night, the ambient lighting in the yard makes it look like a resort. The rest of the home was impeccable! All the comforts of a home had been more than adequately provided. It was a perfect place for us to enjoy entertaining or just being by ourselves. As we have learned from past rentals, the most important ingredient for a 5 star rental is the hands on management. Our owner was on the spot in providing for any repairs or necessities we required. We obviously loved the home, the location, the ambiance, and most definitely our lovely landlady. This home promises NOT TO DISAPPOINT!

Beautiful Desert Oasis

A charming, beautifully maintained home in a quiet but convenient location. Fully equipped with top appliances, quality furnishings, and a lovely pool/spa in a lushly landscaped backyard. Mattresses and bed linens are superb. Good internet and TV connection. Close to Tennis Garden, restaurants, cinemas, and fine shopping. The owner is eager to make your stay a wonderful experience.

An absolutely gorgeous home in the best location in the valley!

My wife and I stayed in this beautiful Indian Wells home for the month of April 2014. Staying here is like a bit of heaven in the desert. There is ample room for guests with each bedroom having its own bathroom, including shower. The backyard is quiet, private, and secluded with large palms and orange trees all around. A private pool makes it the perfect place to spend an afternoon. The house is immaculate with every amenity one could possibly need. And it's close to shopping, golfing, biking, hiking, and great restaurants. Even better than all that is the owner, Jo, who is extremely generous and responsive to even the smallest question. We did our homework to find the best property we possibly could in the area, and this is it. Highly recommended!

Like staying at the Four Seasons

This is an elegant, romantic, beautifully appointed home with a gorgeous pool and yard area, located in the heart of Indian Wells close to the Tennis Garden and El Paseo. We cannot recommend it highly enough.

Beautiful Vacation Home!

We spent the month of February in this wonderful home and it was not nearly enough time! It is truly even more wonderful than the pictures. Entering through the front gate you encounter a welcoming fountain that sets the tone for the rest of this home. The home is beautifully decorated and has a great open flow between the living room, kitchen, and dining room.The living room has high ceilings, a great fireplace, and plenty of seating. The kitchen has all the modern appliances you could want and is fully stocked for the cooking items you might need. There are plenty of dishes, stemware, and any other items you might need for entertaining. Dining room can easily seat 8 or more. Wonderful master BR and bath with vanity, shower, tub, and huge closet. The second BR is also lovely and has a great bathroom and huge closet. The 3rd BR has a sleeper sofa and it is easily converted if you need it. The guest bathroom next to it has a shower behind closed door which makes it convenient for the 3rd BR. The backyard is spectacular and very private!! This is a very peaceful and relaxing environment. Since it is a corner lot it has more green space than most yards in this area. You also have views of the mountains. It has a nice salt water pool with a hot tub connected to it. We did not use these often because of the cool nights in February, but they can be heated if needed. The landscaping is truly beautiful. There are lots of flowers, shrubs, and palm trees. There is plenty of seating outside with both couches and a dining area under the covered porch. There are also lounge chairs in the sun, so you can relax in either the sun or shade. It is the perfect home to relax and entertain in the warm desert climate. You can tell this home has been lovingly planned and maintained. The wonderful owner, Jo, is quick to respond to any needs you might have. Her description of her home is completely accurate. We have rented many homes, and this one is my favorite. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to come for golf or relaxation.

Comfortable and Modern home, provides elegant and relaxing getaway

I was fortunate enough to enjoy the house with friends over New Years. It provided a perfect retreat from our otherwise hectic lives. Situated on a corner lot the house and backyard provided privacy while giving us more than enough space. We were able to use the modern kitchen to cook up meals and snacks, while relaxing in the backyard. Whether you like to lay in the sun, or laze in the shade the pool area has plenty of seating for everyone. A great feature in this house were the fire pits by the pool. They generated enough heat for us to sit outside later in to the evening on a cool December night, as well as just adding a great feel and ambience to a wonderful night catching up with friends. The location provides easy access to local restaurants and bars if you choose to get out and enjoy the local flavor. While golfers will really enjoy the central location with easy access to the many golf courses in the area.

About the host

Hosted by Jo Chatalas

Host profile image
I am retired and have returned to Seattle, WA where my only child, a daughter, was raised and now resides with her husband and my grandchildren. I was raised in a little community in Eastern Washington. I attended WSU and graduated with a degree in Education. I married and moved to Seattle, WA. I also attended SU during my career for two master degrees, Curriculum Development and School Administration.
I moved to the desert from Seattle in 1998, after my daughter graduated from high school and entered Santa Clara University. I had worked for the Seattle Public Schools for 28 years.
I found an empty building lot in Indian Wells and I had my home designed and built. I moved into my new home in 2000.
I retired from the Desert Sands School District after working an additional 12 years. I did not plan to return to Seattle, but with the first announcement of a pregnancy, I couldn't return fast enough.
I now enjoy almost daily interactions with my two precious boys.
Having guests stay at my home has been such a pleasant experience. Each of my guests have treated my home as their own and I have met the most wonderful, thoughtful people. I come to the desert to meet each guest at their arrival and make myself available 24/7 for any questions or concerns.

Why they chose this property

My home is located in an un-gated, safe and quiet neighborhood.
The way in which my home is situated on the property, makes my home a VERY private setting, with a large backyard and a view of Mount Eisenhower. If your priorities include safety, quietness and privacy, you have found the perfect home to stay.

What makes this property unique

I did a lot of research before deciding where I wanted to live. Indian Wells is the safest community in the desert. We have more policeman and fireman per capita, as well as, the lowest crime rate in the desert.
