    • I highly recommend this house and cannot wait to enjoy it again. By far, it's been the best Palm Springs house we've stayed in. The perfect marriage of sophisticated modern and clean comfort. Loved the pool and being able to access the master bath from the backyard. The koi pond waterfall was no joke...absolutely amazing! Used the bbq for every meal. Loved the fireplace and each bedroom was relaxing and clean. This house is just better in person and better than my attempt at trying to articulate how amazing it is. You will not regret going with house...you'll just be as sad as I was to leave it.

    • Terrific house and great people to work with; both owner and property managers. Previous comments are right on the mark. The design touches are accurate to the period and really remarkable. For example, note that if you leave the bathroom door open in the master bedroom you can see the reflection of the San Jacinto mountains through the clerestory windows as you lay in bed. A great place to stay.

    • Just home from a fabulous long weekend and wishing we were still there. Three couples shared the house for the Coachella Music Festival. The house is just as good as the pictures if not better. It has a sparkling pool and lanai with a soothing waterfall and koi pond and a killer outdoor rain shower. The beds are wonderful and there are lots of fluffy towels. The kitchen is well equipped, the chef among us managed a multi course dinner with our bounty from the farmer's market. The location is excellent for easy access to downtown and the interstate for exploring the desert. This house has all the style and comfort of a boutique hotel with tons more space and privacy and a much more reasonable rate. The owner and his property managers are a pleasure to work with and extremely responsive to questions and requests. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a mid-century getaway.

    • The house is spectacularly restored and updated, and is very tastefully appointed. Everything you need for a relaxing, wonderful vacation is here...and close enough to downtown as well. We hope to return in the near future--
