No smoking
Wonderful sun-drenched home…furnished with love. From Eames chair to Platner coffee table. Bright and cheery.
Landmarked mid-century modern, built 1963. I believe these are the only case study homes in Palm Springs. Anyone who appreciates mid-century modern aesthetic will love this rare gem. It has a purity and elegance of design akin to Frey, Neutra and Le Corbusier.
For me, it’s like owning a Picasso.
We have preserved the original design and style, right down to the kidney shaped swimming pool.
Washer/Dryer. Pool. Netflix TV.
Minutes to downtown. BBQ. North Palm Springs.
PETS: There is a cleaning fee of $125 for pets.
Rent bikes in town and ride to the house in 20 minutes. Be sure to go hiking, I LOVE the Coachella Valley Preserve for hiking.
REVIEW FROM BRIAN 3/4/16: Fantastic place, historical architecture and faultless service, hope one day the have the opportunity to stay at Doug’s house again. If you have any interest in mid-century architecture and style this is the place to stay!
The realitor told me that this was owned by Kathryn Hepburn who never lived there, but bought it for her lover, Spencer Tracy!
Review from Peter 8-5-2020 “Architectural gem! If you are an architect or designer you will really appreciate the home and it’s history! Doug is an amazing host and incredibly responsive. My wife and I would not hesitate to stay again! It’s also worth noting the place was spotless!”

This Mid-Century home is exactly as advertised. It takes you back in time. The home has all the amenities and feels brand new. The neighborhood is so quite. It is a great place to go for walks and short hikes. We plan our vacation to Palm Springs every couple years based on the availability of this home. The GEM of the desert!
We stayed in Doug’s house for Coachella and it worked out great. The property manager was very responsive and came by multiple times to help out with some minor issues. One tiny complaint- the only trash can for the kitchen was SO tiny and there was no where for recyclables. Also, the grill is pretty old/dirty and there were no instructions on how to use it. Other than that, we had a great stay!
great experience! would highly recommend to others!
Doug’s house is a very well preserved case study house and is authentic to its time period. House was immaculate.
Doug’s place is absolutely beautiful and an amazing designer desert retreat. However, the beds are quite soft so if you need a firm mattress this isn’t a good choice for you. Otherwise it’s a lovely spot with a great pool and fenced yard area and Doug is a great host. It’s also worth noting that North Palm Springs can be quite windy, which we wish we had known before going, so check the weather before booking if you can.
