The experience at Dieter and Craig's was the best I've ever had. From the minute my fiancé and I walked in, we were gracious welcomed! Got a tour of their beautiful home right on the hills. Stunning views. Clean rooms that smell like an expensive hotel room. And of course the specular breakfast everyday was more than we bargained for. They treated us like royalty everyday and still gave us a friendly vibe! We cannot wait to return! Highly recommend!

This was our second stay at Craig and Dieter's property. We returned because we loved the location, the accommodations and the company of the hosts. We had an equally enjoyable time as our first time at their lovely home. As a clothing optional enthusiast, this is a fantastic option to enjoy the pool and hot tub! We will definitely rebook for another stay in the future.
Dear Ken - We were so happy to have you back for a second stay—thank you for choosing to return and for another 5-star review! It means a lot to know you enjoyed everything just as much as the first time. We're glad the setting, amenities and relaxed atmosphere made for another great visit. You're wonderful guests and we'd love to host you again anytime.
Craig and Dieter completely exceeded our expectations. Our weekend away was nothing less than a spa-like retreat. Their hospitality is next level and they thought of every possible detail. They went above and beyond. It was the most relaxing stay possible. The views from the house to the personal letter and balloons made for a very memorable birthday weekend. They were such friendly hosts and we really enjoyed getting to know them. We cant imagine staying anywhere else when we are in PS. 10/10
Dear Mike - Thank you so much for your wonderful words and 5-star review! We're so happy to hear your expectations were exceeded and that your birthday weekend with us felt special.

Dieter and Craig have a beautiful home, with stunning views of Palm Springs and the mountains. They were very gracious and attentive hosts, and made my husband's birthday weekend special with a birthday balloon upon arrival! The room is very spacious and comfortable, and the house has plenty of spots to rest and soak in the sun and relax. We will definitely make another trip back to the Hillside Hacienda!

Dieter and Craig are the epitome of welcoming and gracious hosts. They bring you in their home and make you feel part of it. I've stayed with them before and will definitely do it again. It's honestly better than staying in a hotel.
Dear Daniel - It was such a treat to welcome you back! We're so happy to hear you felt right at home again—a comfortable, easy environment is so important for a relaxing, rejuvenating vacation. Knowing you'd choose to return (and even prefer it to a hotel!) means the world to us. Thank you for your review and kind words—we'll look forward to your next visit! - Dieter & Craig
wow wow wow. Dieter and Craig were the perfect hosts, super friendly and gave excellent advice on where to eat and what to do in Palm Springs. The house is gorgeous, with incredible views and the pool was warm, we went in for a dip at least twice a day. The room itself was spacious, with a huge comfortable bed and a bathroom/shower that puts some 5 star hotels to shame. The breakfast was delicious and a perfect start to the day. Just book this place already, you will not regret it!!
Dear Johannes & Reed - Thank you so much for your amazing review! We're thrilled you enjoyed your time at Casa Encanto and made the most of the pool, views, and everything Palm Springs has to offer. It was a true pleasure hosting you and we're so glad you loved the room, bed, bathroom and breakfasts. Your kind words and high recommendation mean the world to us. Please come back anytime — we'd love to host you again! - Dieter & Craig
Not knowing what to expect from our first misterb&b booking, Dieter and Craig were the perfect hosts who proved from the get go that we made the right choice. They made us feel so comfortable and at home while visiting Casa Encanto, taking care of every last detail thoughtfully with delightful luxe touches. We booked this stay as an anniversary trip for my husband and me; the first of many “above and beyond” moments was entering our room to find an anniversary flower and balloon arrangement to celebrate. Each morning, we enjoyed full breakfasts that accommodated our dietary preferences. The pool and the mountain views were so relaxing we almost didn’t want to go into town and miss out on pool time, but Dieter and Craig had great recommendations for dining, drinks, and museums to visit. Everything was a quick drive too, never more than a few minutes to get where we needed. It was wonderful to be able to share their space, with time to chat and time for relaxing privately. We 100% would return to stay again and hope to do so when we next visit Palm Springs. The relaxing location, refreshing pool and hot tub, and the cabana nestled to overlook the mountain view, truly made this trip an above and beyond experience from start to finish. I cannot think of anything I would change about our stay, except that I wish we could have stayed longer.
Dear Michael & Guy - Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! It was such a joy having you both here for your special celebration, and we're really honored you chose to spend it at Casa Encanto. We're so glad you enjoyed your stay—from the fresh breakfasts and the pool to the views, cabana and peaceful vibe. Hearing that you felt relaxed, cared for and at home means everything to us and we're so happy to have exceeded your expectations. We'd love to welcome you back anytime—here's to many more anniversaries and memorable getaways ahead! - Dieter & Craig
My stay at Dieter and Craig's home couldn't have gone better. Their property is magical, located in a spectacular setting on the mountain in the heart of Palm Springs, with everything being just a short drive away. They both went out of their way to make me feel at home in their beautiful home, and helped me out with information about local shops, museums, restaurants, etc. From the outset their priority while I was there was to make me feel welcome and comfortable. I can't wait to return!
Dear John - Thank you so much for your kind words and wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure having you stay with us and getting to know you. We're so happy you enjoyed your time at Casa Encanto and it means the world to us that you felt comfortable, relaxed and at home - that's always our goal. You're welcome back anytime, and we look forward to your next visit! - Dieter & Craig
This is not my first time with Craig & Dieter and will not be my last. I can assure you, nobody provides the same level of hospitality they do. They have thought of all the details you never knew you needed or wanted. The place is stunning, the views are amazing and the time was peaceful. I will be back yet again soon!
Dear Billy - Thank you so much for another wonderful review and for continuing to choose Casa Encanto for your visits to Palm Springs. It truly means a lot and we're honored you trust us to provide a relaxing, elevated and memorable experience. Your kind words and recommendation are so appreciated. It's always a pleasure to host you and we can't wait to welcome you back for another stay soon! - Dieter & Craig
