CLASSIC MEETS CONTEMPORARY - Guest House in high-end Private Mini-Estate

Serene...Inspiring...Elevated...

Our unique property allows guests to adequately "social distance" from the homeowner, with exclusive use of the yard and pool during their stay. Reach out to me for further details and updates.

This 1948-built architectural home was designed by architect, Allen Siple and developed by Paul Trousdale who later went on to built Trousdale Estates in Los Angeles.. Current owner completely remodeled and expanded the residence in 2007 with an art and spa aesthetic and includes a walled compound consisting of the main home (occupied by owners) and a 650+ sq. foot detached guest house, separated by a loggia with fireplace. Known as Casa de Arte, the home and art collection has been featured in numerous publications. Ideal guest would be a seasonal renter looking for quiet enjoyment of the desert lifestyle or a visitor coming into the city for a special event like Modernism Week, Palm Springs Art Fair or Coachella Music Festival.

The City of Palm Springs ID# 8003 for a "homeshare" short-term rental. The city charges a 12.5% Transit Occupancy Tax on stays less than 28 days which is collected by VRBO. Guest will sign a "Good Neighbor Brochure" when they arrive noting they will comply city City requirements including occupancy limits, noise prohibitions and vehicle parking requirement. In addition the City requires the host to make a copy of the responsible party's driver's license or other ID.

Note that the per diem rate does not include heating the pool. We will heat the spa upon request on occasion during your stay not to exceed one-hour per day. Up to one-hour per day will be gratis. Additional spa time will have a surcharge of $25/hour.

NOTE: 2 night minimum. IMPORTANT NOTE: 3 night minimum for Coachella, Stagecoach and certain holidays. There is a 5 night minimum for Modernism Week. For the high season months of January through April the MAXIMUM rental period will be for 3 consecutive weeks. (No monthly rentals for those 4 months).

Wonderful Experience
We loved the property, location and delightful hosts. Gil & Stan couldn't have been more hospitable. Their response to any questions were quick and helpful. I'd highly recommend the Casita for a short or longer stay in Palm Springs.

Home Away From Home
If I could give one million stars that still would not be enough. Gil and Stan are the most gracious, kind, generous, thoughtful, humble hosts you could imagine. This is our third stay here and there will be many more. We celebrated my birthday while there and they invited my friends in for an after dinner party for a tour of their gorgeous home along with cupcakes, a card, music, candles and a special drink. What a beautiful unexpected surprise this was! Every day they would ask if there was anything we need which there was not because who could not ask for more! The property is very spacious with the bed, a seating area, futon couch, large bathroom with two sinks, kitchen with two burners, a toaster oven and dish washer and then your very own pool with floaties and outdoor living area. They even shared limes from their tree and gave me my very own Marilyn Monroe towel! We were very fortunate the evenings we got to spend visiting with them. Thank you is not enough to extend the gratitude we feel. We look forward many more stays with Gil and Stan.

A Place You Don’t Want to Leave
From the beautiful setting with mountains visible from the courtyard to the courtyard itself, with thoughtfully arranged artwork and azure pool, this casita was difficult to say goodbye to. We were greeted by one of our hosts who walked us through the rules of the house, made sure our every question was answered, and welcomed us into one of the more fabulous places we’ve stayed in Palm Springs. We found the carefully chosen bedding to be comfortable, the view from the bed to the pool to be stunning, and the provided robes and bath and pool linens perfect. The small kitchen had nearly everything we needed, as we were eating out with friends throughout our stay. Location: incredible. Even near downtown and busy roadways, the pool fountains and bubblers made lounging by the pool or having coffee in the art-filled loggia peaceful. And more on location: we loved hiking along the paths by Tahquitz Creek, just across the street, and going even further to hike the in-progress Prescott Preserve that’s taking over for the failed Mesquite Country Club golf course. Birding and walking to the downtown area made for nature-filled days, and mixing in some sun made it indeed difficult to say goodbye. Thank you to our fantastic hosts for our rainbow trail mix and serenading us with “Happy Trails to You” on our departure.

I would give this property 10 stars if I could!
This is a delightful property with easy access to just about anywhere you want to go in Palm Springs. The property was so nice, however, you may not want to leave. From the more than gracious hosts, to the beautiful art, to the comfy bed, there is just no reason to leave. I hesitate to leave a glowing review because I am afraid it will never be available again. Thank you Stan and Gil!

Christmas in Palm Springs
When we decided to spend the holiday in Palm Springs, I began researching different types of lodging. I looked at the guest houses, condo rentals, hotels, and private residences. We decided on the Casita for a few reasons. The accommodations, the location and recommendations. We very much enjoyed our stay and were made to feel quite welcome by Gil & Stan. It’s a very nice neighborhood and a quick drive to downtown. We also had the use of the bicycles that made for a very pleasant day of exploring the area. I would definitely recommend staying here, to have the experience of living in Palm Springs as opposed to just being a visitor. We find that more relaxing and less stressful than “grouped lodging”.

Above and Beyond
The Guest House accommodations are lovely and very clean. The home is conveniently located to sights and activities in and around Palm Springs. The pool and outdoor space are welcoming and pretty. But most important - the hosts were the secret sauce that made our stay special. They are friendly, generous and interesting company who enhanced our experience with their witty and smart conversations, telling us about their amazing home and artworks, sharing time during our cocktail hour and surprising us with impromptu snacks and surprises. They could not have been more thoughtful. Our stay was something we won’t forget. Thank you, Stan and Gil, for a wonderful time!

Great memories at the casita
Gil and Stan were knowledgeable and gracious hosts. Especially Stan. The casita was top shelf and had everything my wife and I needed. The host provided useful advice about things to do in the Palm Springs, CA area. We plan on returning to the Palm Springs casita in the near future.

Beautiful guest house. Beautiful pool and spa. Hosts were great.
I was there for a week and the time definitely flew by rather quickly. One day the Tram, one day shopping in a nearby town. Dining at some of the local restaurants was also very nice. Ever meal was a joy and surprise. Swimming every day was a must followed up by a nice soak in the spa. Beautiful lighting of the pool and property at night. The bed was extra firm. We were surprised by hosts bringing us treats when we were in the pool on more than one occasion. Delightful.

Treasure in the dessert
We loved our stay at this guest house! The property is immaculate and the art all around the property is beautiful to enjoy. The location is near downtown, hiking, spas. Very central location, very quiet and peaceful at nights with views of the San Jacinto mountains. Super close to Tahquitz canyon and the wonderful waterfalls. I would definitely love to go back and stay there again. The hosts provided us with great food and entertainment recommendations.

Beautiful Property and View of Mountains
This property was perfect for our visit to Palm Springs. The home has been featured in the media for its art and we enjoyed seeing the collection. The multiple sitting areas (sun and shade), pool, and spacious guesthouse all made for a comfortable, serene, and beautiful setting. The property is immaculate. We enjoyed chatting briefly with the owner each day and would definitely stay again.

Beautiful place & excellent hosts!
Our first trip to Palm Springs did not disappoint, largely due to the lovely guest house where we stayed. Hosts, Gil and Stan, were extremely kind and welcoming. We felt at home from the moment we arrived. The guest house is beautifully appointed, with plenty of space to relax. The pool was wonderful! The best part, by far, was touring Gil and Stan's stunning home and learning about their art collection. My husband and I wish we'd canceled our dinner reservation and stayed to talk to Gil and Stan all night. What a treasure it was to stay here!

Favorite Home Away from Home
This property is absolutely beautiful. The pool is an oasis and waking up to it outside your bedroom door each day is a dream come true. Very spacious living space that includes a large bathroom with washer/dryer and kitchen. We loved sitting outside in the loggia each evening and playing cards or watching a movie. The owners Gil and Stan are welcoming, accommodating and were an absolute joy to get to know! They would leave us thoughtful little treats on the outdoor table. We look forward to our next stay!!

Excellent stay
This casita was an amazing place to stay. The house was very clean and full of all the amenities we might need. We were entertained perusing all artwork in the house. We particularly loved the Pink Panther drawing. Our hosts were timely in responding to any questions we had. The private pool and spa were delightful. They were exactly what we needed after two long mornings of hiking. We look forward to returning to Palm Springs and without question, would stay here again. Thank you for a great experience.

Oasis of Art, style, whimsy, & pleasure!
The hosts are attentive in every way. I was arriving much later than I planned, had a few issues with my map directions, it was very dark and Gill actually came outside & flagged me down. It is easy to find….. Gil offered late night food & snacks while wine was chilled in the refrigerator.🥂great dining recommendations, & suggestions about town were helpful. Gil and Stewart are excellent hosts, even a small parting gift of local produce! You will enjoy this VBRO!

Why they chose this property

It's all about the privacy of the compound and the great resort amenities, it's architectural pedigree, as well as our location central to hiking trails and the downtown village.

What makes this property unique

Privacy behind the walls of this mini estate. Natural sun bathing permitted. Here is a recent guest review: "This guest house and property was our best ever vacation rental. The location is quiet and close to all amenities. Multiple outdoor seating options, well designed pool, perfect water temperature in the hot months, love the floating mats provided. Comfortable bed, high end linens, thick fluffy indoor and outdoor towels, well appointed kitchen. Art and sculpture was an added bonus. Hosts provided excellent dining and excursion suggestions; they did everything to make our stay exceptional. We enjoyed Palm Springs and we were definitely in a 5 or 6 star resort. Restful and relaxing 10 days and we hope to return again. We would give this vacation rental a 10 stars rating if we could!"
