All homes tell a story and El Chaparral's is rich in history and jazz culture. True to it's roots, the house still retains a relaxed & soulful feel but has been equipped with modern comforts and amenities to make it the perfect home-away-from-home.
Sitting on an oversized, corner lot, guests will have exclusive access to the main house, the casita and also the lush, private back yard with a large pool.
El Chaparral is currently available for monthly stays. 30+ night stays only.
El Chaparral is a two-structure property consisting of a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom home plus a one-bedroom casita with a full bathroom, kitchen, living room and dining room.
The property is located in the picturesque La Quinta Cove neighborhood, close to hiking and mountain biking trails, golf, tennis, plus dining and shopping options in Old Town La Quinta.
Guests can relax in the casually-curated living spaces, cook and enjoy meals in the bright kitchen and relax in the spacious and comfortable bedrooms.
You can also enjoy La Quinta's nearly year-round sunshine in the privacy of the beautifully landscaped back yard with a large and deep swimming pool, picnic-style dining set, bbq and mature fruit trees (help yourself!).
El Chaparral is approximately 21 miles from PSP and about 1.5 miles from Old Town La Quinta. We love this part of the Coachella Valley and area and are always willing to share recommendations with our guests through our website/blog or Airbnb messaging. Don't be shy!

El Chaparral is located in the La Quinta Cove neighborhood of La Quinta, and is approximately 20 miles from Palm Springs. "The Cove", as locals call it, is surrounded by scenic mountains (making for incredible views and sunsets!) and is known for its hiking and biking trails. Old Town La Quinta, just 1.5 miles from the home, has some of our favorite restaurants along with shopping and sometimes live music on the weekends. We love sharing recommendations with our guests and will happily point you towards some of our favorite restaurants and things to do.
The Coachella Valley (or the greater Palm Springs area) is best explored with your own car, but ride sharing services (like Uber) are available for short trips around town.
If you are interested in booking El Chaparral but feel like this is more space than you require, we do have a separate listing for only the main house, excluding the casita. On this listing the casita can also be a per-night add-on if you have additional, owner-approved guests coming to visit you for a shorter period of time. Inquire for details.
Note: payment processing fees may be withheld from any refund upon cancellation.
