Say Yes Palm Springs
A Soft Landing in the Desert
October 15-19, 2026 | 5 Days, 4 nights | Palm Springs, CA
The summer heat just broke. The rest of the country is pulling on sweaters and bracing for what comes next, and the desert is doing the opposite.
Warm. Golden. Full of life and color.
We are spending four nights in a private home in Palm Springs with a pool we will actually use. Long mornings with iced coffee under the palms. A morning hike through Andreas Canyon, where the oldest palm trees in North America grow. The Aerial Tram for a view of the desert you don't expect. Slow afternoons in downtown shops and the Moorten Botanical Garden. Real dinners at real restaurants when the light turns warm.
October is the sweet spot. The summer crowds are gone. The holidays haven't started yet. The desert is just for you.
This is the trip for the woman who needs to exhale.

Why October?
Why Say Yes to Palm Springs in October
Here in Palm Springs, the air shifts in October. Pool water finds its temperature. The light turns gold. The town slows down. This is the time of year when it actually feels like a vacation, not a sprint.
This trip is built around that. Long mornings by the pool. Slow afternoons. Dinners that go later than they should. The kind of trip you come home from softer than when you left.
The Experience
What We'll Experience Together
This is a curated retreat designed for rest first, exploration second. The intention is space, not stimulation.
A few highlights you can expect:
Long mornings by a private pool, coffee in hand, no agenda
A short morning hike through Andreas Canyon, walking among the oldest palm trees in North America
A ride up the Palm Springs Aerial Tram for a different kind of desert view
An afternoon wandering the Moorten Botanical Garden
Slow shopping in downtown Palm Springs and the surrounding towns
Long dinners under string lights, photographed in the warm light you only get this time of year
Open afternoons for a round of golf, a spa booking, or doing absolutely nothing at all
Accommodations
Where You'll Stay
Our home base is a private retreat home in Palm Springs. Three king suites, each with a private bathroom. One shared room with two queen beds. A heated pool. A full kitchen. Outdoor living spaces designed for the desert.
This is rare on a Say Yes trip. Most trips share rooms. This one gives you the option of a private suite with a king bed and your own bathroom, on a first-come basis. The early bookers get first pick.
You won't be in a hotel hallway. You'll be home, with four other women who said yes.
About the Pace
A note on what this trip is, and what it isn't.
This is not a packed itinerary. It's not a city to check off. It's four nights in one beautiful place, with one small group of women, where the days unfold without rushing.
If you're someone who wants to be busy from morning until night, this might not be your trip. If you've been craving a real exhale, this is exactly that.

Meals
Every Meal Is Taken Care Of
Every meal is taken care of.
Some mornings, you’ll have breakfast prepared for you in the home's full kitchen, slowly, with the pool just outside. Some afternoons we'll grab something easy. Dinners are where we splurge. Real meals at real restaurants in Palm Springs and the surrounding desert towns.
You show up hungry. Everything else is handled.
18+ Years of Professional Experience
You'll Be in the Photos
I'm Macey, a professional photographer with more than 18 years of experience, and I'm coming on this trip.
That means you can put your phone in your pocket and let someone else handle the documentation. The mornings by the pool. The way the light hits at the end of the day. The dinners. The way you glow when you're laughing and happy.
You'll leave with a gallery of documentary-style photos that capture the feeling of the trip, not the staged version of it. Things you'll actually want to look at later. Things that will remind you what this rest felt like.
Fit Check
