Overview
4 Bedrooms, 3 Bathrooms, Sleep 8
The City of Palm Springs ID#2891 – Perched above Palm Springs in an exclusive enclave, Villa Cahuilla boasts spectacular panoramic views of the city and surrounding desert mountains.
We recently finished several updates to the house that weren’t ready when the photos were taken… automated solar shades in the master suite, blackout blinds in additional guest bedrooms, huge outdoor daybed ottoman at pool, additional seating around the outdoor fire pits, and 2 large outdoor umbrellas around the pool.
Designed by celebrity architect Michael Mueller in 2013 with an homage to mid-century meets mission design, Villa Cahuilla is designed for private living and is now available for client’s appreciative of opulent amenities and materials not normally offered in a vacation home.
Nestled into the majestic San Jacinto mountains, Villa Cahuilla is a chic 4 bedroom, 3 bath oasis surrounding a luxurious heated pool that features 4 tranquil waterfall-fountains and offers completely unobstructed views of Palm Springs and the surrounding desert.
The private grounds boasts 4 separate outdoor fire features, ancient rock formations and stunning multi-tiered gardens that include a collective and mature cacti garden. Dine in the gardens at the outdoor dining table that seats 12, or belly up to the bar and BBQ beside the pool. The property also features an 8-person jacuzzi that is literally perched on the edge of the mountain; offering unobstructed views of Palm Springs and the surrounding desert mountains the jacuzzi’s own fire feature and multi-color mood lighting are indulgent complements to an evening of champagne and stargazing.
Pure luxury in amenities: Villa Cahuilla offers tranquil indoor-outdoor living with French doors that open the entire house to the pool, gardens, and unparalleled valley views. The living area features an 80” 3D plasma entertainment center and a dramatic stone fireplace. The master suite features it’s own stone fireplace and spa bath with twin basin sinks and raintree showers . Guest rooms include spa bath with huge soaking tub, raintree showers, plasma TVs, and large walk-in closets for long-term renters. Linens are sumptuous and unlike a typical vacation rental with plush Egyptian cotton bath and beach towels, luxury sheets, as well as extra blankets and comforters for those chilly nights. The modern gourmet kitchen offers 3 ovens including a convection oven for the chef, 4 burner gas stove, large-capacity dishwasher and custom cabinets with leather ball-stitched handles and white Caesarstone countertops. Indoor/Outdoor Wi-Fi completes the experience.
HIGHER RATES APPLY FOR COACHELLA, THANKSGIVING, CHRISTMAS, NEW YEARS AND OTHER HOLIDAYS OR SPECIAL EVENT WEEKENDS.
About Nick Bode
Architectural lover of exceptional properties. Reside in Los Angeles and New York City.
Nick Bode purchased this villa in 2012
Why Nick Bode chose Palm Springs, South
This property was purchased because it was the most unique property I had ever seen in Palm Springs. The site is spectacular with 360 degree views while the privacy around the house makes for the perfect hideaway. The extensive and mature cacti garden are also truly unique.
What makes this villa unique
Villa Cahuilla is remarkable because of the way in which architecture and landscape conjoin in this private desert retreat. The huge swimming pool with its waterfall-fountains, and luxurious jacuzzi perched above the valley offer the rejuvenation of a retreat unlike any other!

Reviews
Wonderful!
4.8/5 -
(26 traveler reviews)
Very nice property and wonderful host. Couldn't have asked for anything better.
Nick explained everything about the property and it was exactly as described. It is so worth it to pay for the extra heating of the pooL and hot tub for they are some of the highlights (for us) of the property. Private, comfortable, a great for a Palm Springs getaway. Enjoy!
GREAT House in Palm Springs!
Great place to stay in Palm Springs! The house is very clean, stylish and has all the features. Nick is a fabulous host and available for anything and everything. Would stay here again!
Amazing!
We had a great weekend. Everything was top notch in the house. Nick did a great job meeting us and making sure we were well taken care of and educated about the house. Thank you for the fabulous stay!
The best!
What an amazing house! We stayed here in April and honestly can't wait to return. The house is even better than the photo's (if that's possible). The outdoor area is HUGE. The pool, BBQ, fire pit and hot tub are each in their own oasis. The inside of the house is absolutely beautiful, it must be custom without a detail overlooked.
Nick was awesome and easy to coordinate with, he always responded to our emails in less than 24 hours. He provided great restaurant and bar recommendations and offered to coordinate a private chef for one of our meals. Our security deposit was returned within 24 hours, the whole process was seamless.
We went offsite twice to eat out and our Lyft's were only a couple dollars and we were minutes away from were we wanted to go and a grocery store.
Don't think twice, just book it. Worth every penny!
Shady Owner, Look Elsewhere
We booked Villa Cahuilla Thursday to Sunday and we were excited because of the property and how beautiful it was, but little did we know, it all came at a price thanks to the overzealous owner/Property Manager Nick. Renting numerous villas across the world each year, we're not new to the various rules and regulations when renting property. We are however new to owners going through our trash and trying to extort us out of our security deposit.
Originally in town for a family reunion, 8 of us rented Villa Cahuilla. We were then surprised by an elopement and couldn't have been happier! We already had everything setup at various restaurants in town and the ceremony was held at a lovely botanical garden! So much fun was had but the real fun came post-checkout with the owner trying to extort us out of our hefty security deposit.
While the newlyweds were on their honeymoon, they received an email from the villa rental company stating they would not recieve their deposit back because the owner told them that a wedding was held on-site. They assumed this because we left flowers for the next guests to enjoy. The owner also told the rental company that we had catering - we ordered burritto platers from Chipotle to feed the 8 guests at the house. What kind of person goes through the trash?
To make a long story short, the newlyweds then had to forgoe their privacy during the weekend because the owner demanded that they prove all of the allegations against them. Prove it they did and they now have their deposit back.
I'm writing this to encourage anyone who is looking at staying at Villa Cahuilla to proceed with strong caution. The owner and Manager Nick tried to lie and told an un-true story in order to get a couple thousand dollars extra from us.
Needless to say, there's a ton of other amazing properties in Pam Springs that we will now get to enjoy on out next trip.
This home is truly a desert oasis!
Nick's property is truly one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed. The layout is spacious and perfect for larger groups. There are plenty of private outdoor spaces to lounge and curl up with a good book. The pool area is beautifuly landscaped with many mature cactus. The interiors are well appointed and thoughtfully designed down to the last detail. Staying at this property truly felt like staying at a luxury hotel instead of a rental house. We did not want to leave! We will definitely be back again.
