The Morgan House is an outstanding property. Just wow! Nicely situated in relation to downtown, however that is exactly defined in Palm Springs (basically, it was convenient). Two of us stayed a luxurious 10 days with two other adults joining us a few of the nights. We never felt crowded. The pool area is a perfect outdoor hangout with plenty of seating and an excellent view of the mountains. All rooms in the home are decorated in a complementary mid-century design by someone with a talented design eye. The windows completely open up the house, providing such a sense of space.
The details were nice, too. Like the bar cart and the skylights that kept the place bathed in light (FYI: there’s a tool that allows you to cover them, so no light gets in if that’s your thing). Tons of televisions. We hooked up our Apple TV to one. And oh my God are there puzzles, books, games, and records galore! And a record player, too!
The WiFi was remarkably fast and strong throughout the house.
The kitchen is well stocked in terms of appliances (three coffeemakers), cookware, utensils, cups, glasses, plates, and leftovers from previous guests (e.g., aluminum foil, baggies, trash bags, laundry detergent etc.) so look through the drawers and cabinets before going to the store. The dishwasher was a learning experience—the door pops open about three inches as part of the drying process. It’s really kind of cool, but we had to learn that.
The property managers let us in remotely (keypad on the door) so there was no mammal-to-mammal contact. The videos they texted as we arrived showing how to turn on the pool waterfall and the additional outdoor lighting were super helpful, especially for a visual learner like me. We had no issues while we were there that required us to contact them, but I got the feeling it wouldn’t have been an issue.
FYI: A big reason we chose the Morgan House was because one guest has mobility issues and uses a walker. All the showers were step-in, meaning they weren’t bathtub-shower combos. All the doors—especially the sliding glass doors—can easily accommodate someone who might need a little extra room to get in and out of the house. The front door would accommodate a wheelchair easily. I know the sliding glass doors off every bedroom and the living room would. Furniture isn’t all jammed together so maneuvering through the house is easy. While it’s not advertised as an “accessible” home, it does a pretty darn good job of being one.
