The Good House

I can’t say enough about The Good House. It is so special I almost want to keep it a secret. I love everything about it, the rooms, the pool, sana and don’t even get me started on the food!

We visited Palm Springs for a few days to escape the cold of the Pacific Northwest, and we decided to stay at the Good House in part because of its commitment to being an eco-friendly hotel. It is located in Desert Springs in a quiet, residential neighborhood that is a twenty minute drive from the airport and a forty-five minute drive from Joshua Tree National Park. A large, busy resort with a golf course was not quite what we had in mind, whereas the tranquility and coziness of the Good House suited us perfectly. We thoroughly explored the beautiful grounds, which contained many seating areas in which to read, have a drink, and enjoy the sunshine. The garden itself contains many desert palms and cacti as well citrus trees. There is also a pond with a trickling waterfall. One of the other guests had brought along their dog, which made the compound feel even more like home. We spent each evening around the fire pit chatting about the day and enjoying the freshly-baked cookies. Our rooms were thoughtfully decorated and furnished with large, comfortable beds. There was also a kitchenette for making tea, coffee, or a light snack. On the second day, we had some issues with the hot water and because all the other rooms were occupied, the staff generously relocated us to the villa next door. We absolutely loved the additional space and privacy along with the well-equipped kitchen and the large pool. A pair of ducks came by for a swim on our last day. We will be back to do more hiking in Joshua Tree National Park and we will be sure to stay at the Good House for our next visit. Thank you so much to all the staff for their wonderful hospitality:)

Wonderful place to stay! The staff is committed to make your stay pleasurable. The mineral water is amazing. A place we will always return to.

The landscaping was absolutely stunning, truly a little oasis in Desert Hot Springs. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the property itself is so cute and quaint. Breakfast was lovely, and the pool and jacuzzi were an absolute delight. Everything about this place was perfect, and it made for such a relaxing, memorable stay.

Awesome place, great people! Loved the chef & Jocelyn. Pool was so perfect

We have visited this place several times over the years, but this is our first time since it changed names and management. Chef Van really makes the experience with being super friendly, warm, and making incredible sweet treats every evening for guests. He is a gem and deserves a raise I’m sure! Much appreciated the free wine at check in and welcome basket. Everything is absolutely perfect here and if you come during the week you might even get the place to yourself which is amazing! Only thing I would ask is that they provide free morning coffee service instead of a paid menu. Just free coffee would be so nice. The room came with a couple of sachets but no actual machine.

The swimming pool is so perfectly warm and you can easily float on your back watching the birds in the beautiful trees surrounding the space. The food is healthy and delicious! The dry sauna and hot tub are also so relaxing and open 24 hours.

The Good House provides both a healing sanctuary along with joyous staff and clientele. The mineral pools are excellent.

We had a great time. The service was excellent. Everyone went above and beyond to make sure we had a pleasant stay and everything we needed. Already looking forward to our next visit.

The overall look and feel was warm and friendly. The room was nice, nothing special but the grounds while small is very beautiful. The breakfast we ordered was delicious. We were very happy we chose The Good House and hope to return again
