About this property

Jewel Box Mid-Century Bungalow at Ocotillo Lodge

Enjoy the best that Palm Springs has to offer at our light & airy mid-century bungalow. Located in the historical Ocotillo Lodge, our colorful, stunning unit is distinguished by its large private patio and open layout. Meticulous details & whimsical elements have been added to complement the surrounding desert landscape. Enjoy modern amenities and the comforts of home, all while taking in the many stylized nods to Palm Springs' colorful history. Our mid-century jewel box is yours to enjoy!

This unit retains many of its original interior features as designed by architects Palmer and Krisel, including original kitchen and bathroom cabinets. Our one-bedroom, signature bungalow has endless natural light coming through floor-to-ceiling windows/sliding glass doors in all primary spaces and an original skylight in the bathroom. Spacious and benefitting from an open layout, ours is perfectly located in the interior of the complex away from the street and just a few steps from the swimming pool. The location is quiet and private while also being close to the amenities of the complex. You get a chance to truly enjoy the best of indoor/outdoor living, as the large private patio beckons you to cook and enjoy meals al-fresco, prepared on your own grill.

The stylish bungalow decor takes inspiration from our travels in Mexico and mixes period-appropriate furniture and art with the colors & textures of the desert landscape. Both living room and bedroom have direct access to the patio. Meticulous details & accents bring the outdoor elements indoors, evoking a seamless experience of the soothing, natural surroundings for which Palm Springs is known.

Our bedroom features a plush king-sized bed and calming tones that will give you that perfect night's sleep. The bedroom offers easy access to the oversized bathroom, featuring double-sinks, and a gleaming subway tile clad, glass-enclosed shower. The kitchen is fully stocked, and opens out to a bar area with two stools. 

Originally built in 1956 by famed architects William Krisel & the Alexanders, the Ocotillo Lodge started out as a hotel, and is one of Palm Springs' most stunning mid-century gems. As a guest, you will have full access to the facilities, including the famous champagne-cork shaped pool, two hot tubs, fitness room, and lush desert landscaping. You'll truly feel like one of the many celebrities who have frequented this famous hangout spot over the years.

Ours is truly a special unit, located in one of the best examples of mid-century architecture that Palm Springs has to offer. We can’t wait to share our little slice of Palm Springs Modernism heaven with you!

Fantastic Stay!

I had a fantastic stay at this property. It was clean, check in was simple with good communication from the owner, and all details were thought out: from a water filter in the fridge to a speaker to play music. I would highly recommend this property!

PS Condo Review

Overall, this is a cute condo. It is small but comfortable. The master bedroom does not have a TV and that was the only downside.

Palm Springs Paradise

We simply loved staying at Ocotillo Lodge for a month. The unit was stylish, the kitchen well-equipped, the pool is amazing -- large, comfortably-heated. The hosts were both professional and charming. The location is great. Walking distance to some terrific restaurants, stores, etc. The dreamiest part was swimming in the huge, quiet pool early in the morning as Sinatra and all the greats poured out of the sound system. Add a clear blue sky, soaring mountains, and silky dry air and, in my opinion, you've found heaven. Highly recommended.

Fantastic accommodation!

We have stayed a different units at the Ocotillo Lodge, and this unit definitely didn't disappoint! The suite was very clean, beautifully decorated with the mid-mod charm and the private patio was really wonderful to have morning coffee on! Being close to the pool was really great and the property itself was very quiet and relaxing! The host was easy to communicate with, had a great online info booklet & made the check in process very easy! We would definitely recommend booking and will definitely be back again!
