Welcome to Doorway to the Desert: a luxury home expertly designed by locally-renowned architect Steven DeChristopher. The home is tucked away in the upscale Skyline neighborhood of Desert Hot Springs, CA. Whether you’re in the area to explore the naturally occurring hot springs, Palm Springs, Joshua Tree, Coachella, golf, casinos, or just to get away; we welcome you to stay with us!
The moment you enter the property you’ll feel excited and relaxed at the same time. A lot of thought and clever thinking went into its bespoke design.
The quality of construction, 12’-14’ ceilings, abundant natural light, resort-style pool, and stunning views all contribute to an effect of feeling larger than its square footage would indicate. Oversized windows and doors capture expansive views of the private pool, Mount San Jacinto, and the famous windmills of the San Gorgonio Pass. It's almost like the desert is inviting you to come out and enjoy all the beauty it has to offer.
We want you to enter the house and not have to worry about anything. Bring your friends, bring your family, bring your coworkers, bring your dogs, make memories, have fun, and most importantly relax.
