The Love Shack
6. The Love Shack
49mi from Lake Forest · 1 site
Small home, big views, and a serene environment. Bring your beloved for a romantic getaway or make it a solo escape to reset or simply be. Far enough from town to make you wonder where you are, but close enough to drive to Morongo Casino for a spa day or dinner, or head to Palm Springs for the tram and shopping. Or just stay put and enjoy the peace and quiet, listening for the occasional train whistle drifting up the canyon, a hooting barn owl, or a howling coyote.
Totally outfitted for modern living: an indoor/outdoor shower, enough kitchen gadgets to get you by, a cozy full-size bed, and — most importantly — a coffee maker.
There is a main house on the property a good distance away, and your privacy is completely respected.
The property used to be a peach-packing farm long ago, and before that, the Pass Cahuilla Native Americans inhabited the land.
There are also RV hookups right next to the pod if you’d like to bring yours, allowing space for up to four people.
Please — absolutely no fires.

Wow, this was an amazing getaway. Tons of outdoor space with a great view and ambience, close to restaurants and Main Street but still an escape from the city, extremely clean and well stocked, but best of all was the hospitality! The hosts were extremely helpful, available for any questions, and all around great.

Excellent location. Near city. Lots of wildlife. Quiet and relaxing. Great WiFi and cellular connectivity. Parking can be challenging. Prepare for an uphill walk to get there.
