Rancho Mirage is the middle of the valley and the quietest of it — big lots, old money, and the shortest drive to everywhere else.
They call it the Playground of the Presidents, and the reason is Thunderbird — the country club that hosted Eisenhower, Ford and a run of Hollywood names. Thunderbird Heights still sits above the valley floor on the largest lots in the city, and the architecture around it runs from Steve Chase interiors to low desert-modern houses with nothing behind them but mountain.
The houses here tend to be bigger than Palm Springs and further apart. Walled acre lots, tennis courts, guest casitas, and in one case the only private lazy river in the desert. It is where we put groups who want room and quiet rather than a walk to a bar.
Practically, it is the most convenient base in the valley. The El Paseo shops are ten minutes one way, Palm Springs twenty the other, and the Eisenhower medical campus and Agua Caliente casino are on the doorstep.
Figures are counted live and change as homes join or leave the collection.
14 houses, from 3 to 15 bedrooms, sleeping 6 to 30 guests. The range is wider here than anywhere else — modest three-bedroom houses through to estates.
The largest sleeps 30 across 15 bedrooms — a private resort on its own grounds in the heart of the city.
7 of the 14 houses accept dogs, which is a higher proportion than most of the valley.
The Living Desert zoo and gardens, Sunnylands, the Agua Caliente casino, and El Paseo's shops and restaurants ten minutes away in Palm Desert. Several golf clubs are within a few minutes' drive.
The host was very responsive, whenever I messaged him I always got a fast response. Also, the place is beautiful! It’s so worth the price!
Great property. Kitchen was spacious and nice. Bdrms/bthrms were all great. Pool was awesome. Communication with the host was fabulous!
Echo Estate is very special. It is beautiful, serene, comfortable for guests, gracious and charming. I don’t think it could be any better. I love the place, and I think Desert Luxury Estate managers are exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful.
