Swanky midcentury condo at the famed Ocotillo Lodge — a true piece of Palm Springs history! Designed by Palmer & Krisel in 1956, built by the Alexanders, and landscaped by Eckbo, this iconic community represents the who’s who of Mid Mod architecture. With panoramic mountain views, the legendary keyhole-shaped swimming pool, a billiards room, clubhouse with gym, and a stylish 1BR/1BA condo, this historic destination is all about enjoying life in the Palm Springs sunshine. Bed: K.

Located directly on Palm Canyon Drive at the edge of Twin Palms and Indian Canyons, this is quintessential city living in a storied Palm Springs enclave. Perfect for travelers who love convenience, walkability, and the high energy of being center-stage in the Palm Springs scene. For decades, Ocotillo Lodge has been beloved by Modernism fans seeking an authentic midcentury pied-à-terre in an architecturally significant community.

CELEBRITY PEDIGREE
Originally built in 1956/57 on nearly seven prime acres, the Ocotillo Lodge was later acquired by actor and entertainer Gene Autry in 1963. Its champagne cork-shaped pool and classic desert-modernism style have hosted an impressive celebrity roster over the years — including Lucille Ball, Marilyn Monroe, Dean Martin, George Burns, Gracie Allen, and Frank Sinatra.

OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES
The resort-style pool is massive, complemented by multiple spas, a clubhouse with gym and billiards, and incredible views of the San Jacinto mountains. Guests can mix and mingle with a friendly blend of full-time, short-term, and seasonal residents. The condo’s semi-private patio is a serene spot for morning coffee or an evening cocktail.

INDOOR LIVING SPACES
This condo blends the sophistication of nostalgic Palm Springs with fresh modern comfort. The kitchen, living, and dining areas flow together seamlessly. Sliding glass doors fill the space with natural light and open to the patio with outdoor dining, BBQ, and mountain views. Mid Mod–inspired furnishings include a convertible twin pull-out couch. An in-unit washer and dryer — a rare find.

SLEEPING QUARTERS
The inviting Primary Suite includes a hotel-quality Queen bed, flatscreen TV, ample storage, clerestory windows framing swaying palms, and easy access to the updated bathroom. bathroom.

THE LOCATION
Centrally located near restaurants, shops, galleries, boutiques, cabarets, the casino, and the Convention Center — all along our world-famous Palm Canyon Drive.

A bit overpriced but loved the facility! Beautiful!

Our stay was very fun. The shower was a bit hard to get hot water but we managed. Kitchen was well stocked but not much room for food. Furniture was uncomfortable for us seniors but a very safe and friendly environment. We would definitely stay in the ocotillo again but get one away from the street and main level. All in all we loved the pool and hot tub. We felt it was overpriced for our unit’s location in the building.

Fantastic Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay was fantastic! We loved the unit. It was very clean and well stocked. The only comment I have is the shag carpet is a fun retro fit to the unit but doesn’t look clean. The pool and hot tubs looked very clean and well maintained. The traffic is very loud.

A high quality stay for the price

Seamless check-in and responsive property service. The kitchen is very well stocked with items for preparing and storing food. The grounds and pool area are quiet, well-kept, spacious, and a great place to unwind. My only bit of caution for light sleepers is that the unit is located on a busy street.

Ocotillo Lodge number 219

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very unhappy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Ocotillo Lodge # 219 Palm Springs The condo was on a very busy street and the traffic noise was awful. When the reservation was made the number of the condo was not listed so we could not look at at the location. There was not a dish washer and the air conditioning could not be set lower than 76 degrees or it would ice up. After the first night we made arrangements to move to another location. This worked out well, however we paid a lot of money in management and cleaning fees due to the move.
