The Most Stunning Airbnb Rentals In Palm Springs
Palm Springs is an upscale desert town that is known for having amazing pool parties, scenic landscapes, and endless rows of palm trees everywhere you look. Whether you're looking to plan an epic weekend away or you're looking to celebrate a birthday or bachelorette party, Palm Springs is a wonderful town that is worthy of being explored. While this lively desert town does have some amazing five-star hotels available for accommodations, there are several Airbnb listings in the area that offer travelers a more private and peaceful stay.
While staying somewhere like The Saguaro or the Ace Hotel allows you to be located right in the middle of some of the town's greatest pool parties and events, they can get a bit rowdy and overwhelming if you're looking to experience a more secluded and quiet retreat in the middle of the desert. From mid-century homes that allow you to unwind from the comfort of your own pool to retro-styled bungalows that take you back in time straight to the '70s, here is House Digest's list of the most stunning Airbnb rentals in sunny Palm Springs.
