Casa Demesne is the brainchild of its owner Quoc, a tech entrepreneur and record producer who splits his time between New York, Los Angeles and Paris.

At Casa Demesne, guests will find various details that reflect Quoc's passions for cooking, making coffee, and high-tech gadgets. It's a home away from home for him to escape from the city, relax and find inspiration. He is excited to share this special place with guests, who are sure to love it as much as he does.

Recent Guest Feedback:
" We often find rentals to be either too cookie cutter and impersonal, or way way too personal, where we feel like we're invading someone else's personal space. Casa Demesne is the rare exception and is the perfect balance of home and hospitality. With special touches in the stylish decor nodding to the California desert landscape, luxurious details such as fine hotel bedding, and connected home technology and kitchen appliances and supplies, you feel both at home and away on holiday. Additionally, Jenn could not have been more responsive, and responded instantly anytime we had questions. Thank you Jenn for such a wonderful experience!" - Sarah
"Where do we even begin? Our stay was absolutely perfect from beginning to end and we would not have changed one thing. & We owe a lot of our experience to Casa Demesne! What a special place. I stayed here with my husband and our 9 month old and it was perfect. You can really tell how much thought and attention was put into making this home an oasis. Perfect for a relaxing getaway away from the city and to reconnect with loved ones. We made really special memories here as a family that we will never forget!
My husband loves to cook and he had such a great time grilling and cooking in the kitchen. Not to mention it was completely stocked and had absolutely everything we needed to make us feel right at home. I would definitely recommend this to anyone and everyone! Jenn was also very communicative and responded quickly to any questions I had. 10/10 one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! Thank you, Jenn! We hope to be back again one day soon!" - Giselle
