Remodeled mid-century home. Mountain views. Private yard w pool/spa, fire pit lounge, outdoor kitchen, covered dining pavilion, outdoor shower, ping pong. Off street parking. Beds: K,Q,K (can convert to TT).

This house is so gorgeous it was included on the 2017 Palm Springs Modernism Week Home Tour! Better than new Palm Springs Vacation Home Rental. Entire property has been updated. Fabulous resort-style saltwater pool yard that has been walled for privacy. Gorgeous mountain views from the heated inground pool, spa, covered dining pavilion, and outdoor living room. Awesome fire feature plus an outdoor shower. Now taking reservations for bookings at this stunning remodel of an iconic mid mod vacation home where it’s all about relaxing in the Palm Springs sunshine.

This classic Alexander Butterfly home (circa 1961) has been lovingly restored - respecting its architectural pedigree while updating it for the way we live today. The original post and beam ceilings have been preserved while adding modern conveniences like high speed internet access, updated heating and cooling, and four flat screen televisions.

OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES
This property captures the magic of Southern California glamour. The mountain views are simply spectacular. The backyard itself is heavenly. So private, spacious and well-planned. The inground pool and spa is surrounded by chaise lounges, shade umbrellas, a napping hammock, an outdoor shower and a rolling green lawn area that’s great for kids. The outdoor kitchen, with its built-in gas barbecue, ice chest and long serving counter - is adjacent to the covered dining pavilion. You’ll also find a very comfortable outdoor living room with an awesome two-level fire feature. There is a bar height fire table and a cocktail height fire table - perfect for your entire group to gather poolside and enjoy the spectacular mountain views. Slip thru the sliding glass doors into the converted game room where you’ll find a ping pong table and an extra hangout area.

** The pool will be heated upon request with an additional service fee. Please let us know if you'd like to heat the pool so we can ensure it is heated before your arrival. If you home has a spa or hot tub, heating the spa is included with your rental at no extra cost **

** Please Note: 1. This fee is not included in the quoted price on some booking platforms. 2. Pool heating may be added in minimum of 3 day blocks per request **

INDOOR LIVING SPACES
Gorgeous in its simplicity, as Mr. Alexander and his architects Palmer and Krisel intended, you’ll find clean lines, an open concept floor plan and spectacular walls of glass that let the light pour in and reveal a stunning country club backyard. The living room, dining area and kitchen are all open to each other - providing enough space for your entire group to gather, relax and enjoy. The living room has been tricked out with an over sized mid mod-inspired sectional sofa, a full size vintage Elvis movie poster, and a 55"/ 4K TV with premium Martin Logan speakers. The stereo system has Pandora and internet radio.

SLEEPING QUARTERS
All of the bedrooms feature comfortable hotel-quality mattresses, ample storage, and flat screen televisions.The master bedroom offers a king-sized bed, an en suite bath, and its own courtyard patio with direct pool access. The two guest rooms share easy access to the hall bath. The King Bed in the third guest room can be converted to two Twin beds upon request.

Mellow Yellow Butterfly for Stagecoach

The property was the perfect size for four guests. The mountain views are spectacular. House was clean and well equipped. Barbecue grill came in handy. Pool and hot tub were just what was needed pre and post Stagecoach. The neighborhood is quiet and convenient to Palm Springs shopping and restaurants. Would definitely stay at Mellow Yellow Butterfly again.

Best Thanksgiving Ever!

My family loved every minute of our Thanksgiving week getaway!! The house was everything we expected and had been hoping for. The neighborhood was so quiet and safe feeling. The hiking was so close and beautiful along with the amazing backyard! I would highly recommend this location if you travel to Palm Springs!

Perfect Girl's Weekend

A few of my girlfriends from college stayed at this precious place over the weekend. It was beautiful inside/out, close to town and an easy uber ride anywhere we needed to go. We all highly recommend this stay. We can't wait to come back!

Ok but pool was dirty

Pool was overly dirty from palm tree pollen and leaves. Of course not entirely under the properties control, but additional cleaning of the pool prior to arrival would have helped.

The house was lovely. Backyard was great, all kids wanted to was swim.

It all went very well. 3:00 pm check in was a bit late. You can pay to check in earlier but we chose not to.

Wonderful stylish oasis!

What a great find! The pool was a fantastic temperature and the spa got HOT! The house was perfect - decor was super fun and everything felt crisp and clean. This is our new go-to-spot in Palm Springs. BTW, visitors, check out the farmers market on Saturday - terrific produce.

Very Mellow Yellow

Our family had a great stay at the Mellow Yellow Butterfly House. We came to Palm Springs to unwind and get out of the PA cold. The house had everything we needed to do just that. The backyard was perfect. The property ticked all the boxes for an authentic Mid mod house.

Mellow Yellow is a gem!

We had a wonderful relaxing week with another couple at Mellow Yellow. The house is a tribute to mid century modern design and furnishings, complete with a Shag print. The outdoor areas are plentiful and the pool and hot tub were pristine. The house was fully stocked with dishes for inside and out, even though we ate at all of the fabulous PS restaurants. This house was even better than advertised -- we highly recommend!

Super Cute and Well Appointed

Super cute and well appointed mid century home in a desirable location close to everything. Check in process super easy and communication was clear. The house is very clean exactly as it appears in the listing. Nice TV and sound system with turntable and some fun vinyl. Pool and hot tub were clean and delightful. And, critical for winter in Palm Springs, the pool was heated with no surcharge or extra steps to heat it every day. Walk out and swim, even on brisk mornings. We'd rent this place again in a heartbeat.

Exactly What We Needed

This place is amazing! Great decor, the kitchen is well-appointed, and the location is perfect. We cook a lot so having all the bells and whistles was great. They went beyond when stocking the kitchen with gadgets and applicances. The backyard was great. The pool was shaded for some of the day which was really nice. Who does not love the Palm Springs sign on the back of the house?! The garage is air-conditioned for a great game of ping pong too. The property management company was flexible and communicated very well. We come out every year and we loved this house!

The Perfect Escape!

What a fun, relaxing and rejuvenating stay we had at the Mellow Yellow. The house is very welcoming, bright, clean, and happy feeling. Upon arrival we threw off our shoes and headed out the the beautiful yard for a dip in the pool. Heaven. My 9 and 12 year old boys were very happy and entertained for our whole stay. The ping pong table was a nice extra! My family really loved the decor. You feel like you're in a different time and really adds to the getaway feeling. You can even use the record player. The house has everything you will need, the kitchen is well stocked and the beds are comfy. This place does not disappoint. Enjoy!
