Accessibility and Availability
Neighborhood
Indian Canyons, originally Canyon Country Club, was Palm Springs' first fully planned community, built in the 1960s around a championship golf course. It's a quiet, upscale enclave of distinctive midcentury homes, many of which open for tours during Modernism Week each February. Stroll to the club for a cocktail overlooking a fountain said to be a gift from Walt Disney. Heading to Coachella or Stagecoach? The festival shuttle picks up at the Palm Springs Convention Center, about a 15-minute drive from Caliente House, so you can skip the festival traffic and parking. Nearby: - Indian Canyons Golf Resort clubhouse: a short walk or golf-cart ride - Smoke Tree Village (groceries, restaurants, services): under 5 min drive - Deepwell Antique District: about 5 min - Downtown Palm Springs: under 10 min - Palm Springs International Airport (PSP): about 15 min - Indian Canyons hiking trails (Agua Caliente tribal land): about 10 min to the entrance gate - Palm Springs Convention Center (Coachella/Stagecoach shuttle pickup): about 15 min drive - Coachella/Stagecoach festival grounds in Indio: about 40 min (much longer on festival weekends)
