Reviews for The Getaway Boutique Hotel with Pool, Hot Tub & Scenic Mountain Views

The Getaway was the perfect retro escape during Desert X. The 60s-style rooms were full of charm, and the quiet setting made it easy to unwind after a full day of art. We loved relaxing by the pool and soaking in the hot tub under the desert sky. It felt like a peaceful throwback — stylish, unpretentious, and just right. Our pup was welcomed too, which made it even more special. We’ll definitely be back.

Everything we were looking for in our secluded and mesmerisingly beautiful desert escape! Perfect for those who seek a peaceful time to be at one with the desert — an unbeatable location right in between Palm Springs and Joshua Tree, yet Desert Hot Springs has a truly unique flavour of its own. The beautiful, mid-century style pool area was lovely and quiet and secluded (what more could you want!) We also loved the characterful collection of books in our apartment. We felt both completely transported and totally at home. Thoroughly recommend this for a desert getaway!

We had such a wonderful stay at The Getaway in Desert Hot Springs! My husband, our two boys, and I were instantly charmed by the catchy 1950s–60s retro vibe of the rooms—so fun and thoughtfully designed. It really feels like a step back in time, in the best way possible. The area felt super safe, which made it easy to fully relax and enjoy. The pool was absolutely perfect for cooling off during the day, and our favorite part might have been soaking in the hot tub under the stars in the evening—it was peaceful and just what we needed. This was such a special family getaway, and we would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a unique, relaxing desert escape near Palm Springs!

The Getaway is really what it says on the box. You wake up to a perfect view of Mt San Jacinto, and the valley stretched out below where Palm Springs lies. The accommodation itself is superb. Every bit of detail has been thought about. It is like stepping back in time to a chic but cool 1950's holiday unit. The decor and little touches make it feel as if you are returning to your own holiday home: magazines, books, music, board games. A good sized lounge, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Then there is the pool area which is a sheltered sunny spot to lie and enjoy the quiet of the desert. We also met the lovely owner Eric who pointed out places to visit in the area. We took his advice and had an unforgettable weekend. Highly recommend.

An awesome, private getaway with star gazing and heated pool & spa. The 5 one bedroom apartments were thoughtfully decorated and very clean & functional. We had a lovely stay and would highly recommend to other large groups!

Cute little place! We had a bachelorette/bridal weekend. One of the guest contacted Eric to setup decor early without the bride to be knowing, it was a total surprise! We had a little issue with the hot tub not coming on but Eric was quick to fix the issue. The decor and view was super awesome! We had a blast.

I had a fabulous stay at The Getaway #5! Quiet, comfortable, well equipped and clean. We only stayed two nights in order to explore Joshua Tree, but I wish we could have stayed longer. We decided to cook dinner one night, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Gorgeous views of both sunrise and sunset. Eric was quick to respond and had lots of great local suggestions. Can't recommend more.

We booked two nights and The Geratway and had a wonderful time. The place is even more beautiful than the pictures. The kitchen is filled with every possible item you might need to use (even a waffle maker!). Every detail is thought trough and and executed with style. The pool and outdoor area are clean and relaxing. We loved the Getaway and hope to be back!

I can’t express how wonderful my experience was at The Getaway! Eric saved the day and showed such hospitality when my birthday venue fell through at the last minute. Eric graciously allowed me to host a casual dinner party at The Getaway to celebrate my 30th birthday, which turned out to be so much better than I imagined. We had access to a full kitchen with tools, seating and table arrangements, and the pool/hot tub. Everything was so clean and organized! Some of my friends and family ended up staying overnight in a few of the rooms, which were artfully arranged and decorated. Each room was its own time capsule, with so many vintage pieces, toys, books, records… even toiletries! The hotel is perfectly positioned on the hill and faces the mountains, a fantastic spot to watch the sunset. I’m so grateful for Eric and The Getaway for an unbelievable birthday. Next time I’m out in Desert Hot Springs, I’m staying at The Getaway, no doubt!

Our stay at The Getaway was great. We were looking for a place that would work for a big group. This place was perfect. We were able to rent out the entire place to enjoy the pool and still maintain privacy. Eric made sure to provide all information up front and was available for questions during our stay. The listing was accurate which is a big relief when renting. We would definitely return.
