Situated near Miracle Hill and in a destination spa resort area, the Last Resort is located on scenic Dillon Road. The Last Resort has 360 degree views of mountain ranges and is located on the San Andreas fault. It is a great place for nature lovers, natural scientists and photographers. The Palm Springs Tram can be seen from the property going up and down Mt. San Jacinto at night. Dark skies enhance star gazing – an excellent location for meteor shower and other stellar events.

 

Scenery

The Last Resort was built in 1958 – it is a historic hot mineral water mid-century estate home with structural elements of famous architects – notably Alfred Frey who worked on various projects nearby. The postmodern desert home has 2500 square feet of open space living on nearly 2 acres. It is a rustic rural retreat from urban lifestyles – a tranquil private getaway.

 

Palm Springs Tram and Windmill farms can be seen to the south and west and provide beautiful backdrops for landscape photography. Wildlife on the property is abundant from seasonally migrating birds to local mallards and roadrunners, lizards and desert iguanas, and several species of snake, mostly nonaggressive – such as the Rosie Boa and Sand Snake. Of course, there are rattlers too, but you are less likely to see those.  Check Anza Borrego's visitor center for reports on Desert Wildflower blooms.

 

Day Spas

Known for its hot mineral pools and spas, spa treatment facilities are in abundance and within a short drive or bike ride. Massage and spa treatments can be booked in advance at We Care, Two Bunch Palms and other nearby Day Spas in Desert Hot Springs (search for them online with Desert Hot Springs as keyword). You may also visit the Coachella Valley Visitor's Center or Desert Hot Springs Chamber of Commerce web sites for more information about local spa amenities. Or call us for a recommendation!

 

Golfing

Several golf courses are open to the public - within walking distance or on Palm Drive (The Sands). Across the Coachella Valley several private clubs have opened their doors to the public and you can find these online as well.
