- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS -
WHAT TIME IS CHECK-IN AND CHECK OUT? Check in is after 3PM local time, and check out is no later than 11AM. Early check in and late check out may be available for your reservation upon request. Please reach out for the cost and availability.
WILL I NEED TO MEET THE PROPERTY MANAGER TO GET A KEY? All TRAVLR Vacation Homes have keyless locks. This keyless system allows entry into the vacation rental through the issue of a “code” rather than a physical key. The code changes for every reservation so it is an incredibly safe alternative. By issuing the code prior to arrival, the check-in process is much easier.
DO YOU PROVIDE DAILY CLEANING SERVICE? TRAVLR Vacation Homes provides a departure clean on all stays. A mid-week or mid-stay clean can be provided for an additional fee.
CAN WE HAVE THE POOL HEATED? Your reservation "resort fee" includes the cost of pool heat (up to 80-82 degrees). This fee is not included on Airbnb bookings.
WHAT IS PROVIDED WITH MY ACCOMMODATIONS? All of our vacation rentals are furnished and have a kitchen with amenities including a microwave, coffee maker, toaster and blender. Each property is stocked with cooking and serving items including plates, bowls and utensils, as well as a can opener, corkscrew measuring spoons and more. The coffee maker takes ground coffee and we also offer a spice rack, salt and pepper.
There are bath towels, pool towels and bed linens. We also provide an initial supply of trash liners, toilet paper, hand soap and dishwasher soap. Bathrooms are stocked with shampoo, conditioner and liquid body wash. Laundry facilities are also equipped with laundry soap and dryer sheets.
CAN I SHIP A PACKAGE TO MY VACATION HOME? We do not recommend shipping directly to the home, we do not have mailbox keys, and there are many different people with access to the home: vendors, housekeeping, Guest Services staff, etc... so we cannot be responsible for packages once delivered.
DO YOUR HOMES HAVE OUTDOOR MUSIC SYSTEMS? Yes! The entire property both inside and out is filled with speakers that are setup in different zones so you can enjoy it wherever you are and even have different music playing in different areas. To use, simply download the Sonos app and connect to our Wi-Fi system. You can then control your music from Spotify, Apple Music and more. Due to city regulations though, the outdoor music speakers will not work between the hours of 9PM and 8AM (the indoor ones will though). Please note that bringing your own outdoor speakers is strictly forbidden unless pre-approved by management and could result in a $5000 fine from the city of Palm Desert.
DO YOU ALLOW PETS? Our vacation rentals are pet friendly. We allow for up to two pets per property for a fee of $150 per pet.

"This was a fantastic property. The home, yard, and surrounding area were all awesome. A great space to have friends and family enjoy outdoors and meals together. Highly recommended. Also hiking the great desert trails by walking out the front door."

"The house is incredibly luxurious. There were a couple bugs with the Sonos sound system and with the front gate but the company was sent out to fix the errors in good time. Overall had a very good experience and appreciated how communicative the team was. The house and backyard are gorgeous and close to restaurants grocery stores and about 35 min from downtown Palm Springs."

This was our group's second time staying at Base Camp, and we were so happy to come back. The tranquil vibe captured the essence of our retreat weekend. All the rooms are well designed and kept, and the little details, like the welcome Crumbl cookies, were such a nice touch. The house is stocked with most everything that you need, so there was nothing to worry about. Our team can't wait to come back next year!

"We had a fantastic stay at this property as a group of 10. The yard is beautiful and secluded. There is lots to do around the property and the beach volleyball court was a hit. We loved the mountain hikes that are right off the property. The hosts were very responsive and we were able to sort out anything we needed. The property is in an excellent location very close to lots of shopping. We would stay here again, and we highly recommend this property to others."

"We had a really wonderful time staying here. The home is beautiful and was able to fit our entire group comfortably. The pool and backyard area was perfect to just relax and enjoy our time. Communication with the host was excellent, she always got back to us quickly. The only thing to be aware of is Palm Springs has very strict noise rules and this home is in a location where sound can travel. Even with that would totally book this place again and go back. Relaxing and beautiful, we had a great time."

If you like places that are perfect, Base Camp is for you. The setting, the pool, the outdoor amenities, the beauty, the proximity to hiking but also to El Paseo/stores and restaurants, the on top of it property management - This house is our favorite and we have stayed all over the area in some pretty classy rentals. You’re in for a treat.

Base Camp is at the foot of many hiking trails in Palm Desert, the location and the house are both amazing. The outdoor space is full of natural beauty. We stayed there for a few days and immediately booked a return stay. This house is our favourite.

"Great house for a big group. We were 4 families and the house never felt crowded. The casita rooms are in the garage conversion so that's something to be aware of. They felt a little removed and not as chic as the rest of the house. We stuck some of the older kids in there. The kitchen has literally everything you could ever need in terms of equipment and it was a pleasure to cook meals in. We also loved the outdoor grill. The neighborhood has a strict noise policy so this is not the house to come to if you plan on playing music past 9pm but we appreciated the quiet. The location is wonderful. It's within easy driving distance from shops and restaurants but feels remote once you're on the property."

Everything about this house and the property managers was amazing. They were super responsive, accommodating and super nice. It made the experience that much better.
It was the perfect spot for my bachelorette party and I will 100% be back. The house has privacy but is close to the downtown palm desert area.
The only thing that would be better is the barroom situation got a little tight at times. But there was 14 girls in one house.

"I had extremely high hopes for this property and they were blown away! My guests were so impressed and I think everyone was really comfortable. There were so many activities at the bnb and we even went for a morning hike on a trailhead just paces from the front gate. It felt like a private resort. Chic and romantic. I hate that we have to go home."

"The house was perfect for our multi-generational family get together! Lots of communal and private space, not to mention all the fun games and amenities on site, from the hot tub and pools to the bocce court/ping pong table. Jen was very responsive to all our needs during our stay from providing softer pillows to quickly replacing a broken coffee grinder. She also recommended a private chef and other services prior to getting there - and that made organizing the trip super easy. The setting is beautiful, quiet and feels quite remote. Yet, whole foods, target and lots of restaurants are within 5-10 mins drive. We really enjoyed our stay and totally recommend this spot! It's our first time to Palm Desert and we're looking forward to future visits."
