This private, modern, iconic, William Krisel designed butterfly home and detached pool casita are ideally located just two blocks west of the vibrant downtown core and nestled in the heart of the charming Historic Tennis Club neighborhood. Located just just steps from both the famous Melvin's Restaurant (w/ 1950's "Rat Pack" style piano bar) and the always hip Avalon Hotel & Spa / Citron Bar & Restaurant, the location couldn't be more ideal for walking to nearby entertainment and sight seeing.

Fully walled and gated backyard for complete privacy while enjoying the infinity edge pool and jacuzzi. Pool has an oversize mosaic bottom tanning shelf, South facing and an IPE hardwood deck with a modern, fire feature will keep you warm on those chilly desert nights. Pool deck has plenty of sunny / shade areas depending on your tastes and extra seating for larger parties.

The modern, detached pool casita is designed as a second master with a full bath, indoor and outdoor showers, kitchenette with a separate, private entrance.

This home may be available for private events and professional photo shoots. The home is located near the Avalon Hotel and Ingleside Inn and is perfectly suited for a bride/groom/family wedding preparation and/or a honeymoon suite. Please inquire with owner.

Very nice hose and property overall, and in a good location. One star off for the swimming pool. We paid an extra 300 for the week to have it heated, so we expected it to be, well, heated. It wasn’t on on several occasions, due to various reasons (timer off, pool maintenance guy did something to deactivate it, etc). So of 7 days there were probably 2-3 that the pool was too cold to swim in. The owner was accessible and did fix the problem, but I don’t enjoy having to constantly pester the owner for pool heat, and even when he corrected the problem it could take a couple of hours to heat up.

Palm Springs Girls Trip

A group of friends and myself did a quick weekend trip to PS and this house was perfect. VERY close to DT, walkable to nearly anything you could want. Great set up with the pool and hot tub. One large casita with bathroom and then 3 bed and 2 baths in the main house. It was perfect for us. The house was well equipped and Michael was very easy to communicate. Thinking about booking it again for a family trip!

What an amazing experience

This beautiful midcentury modern home was the perfect place for us. There were 4 adult couples and we had a wonderful time there. All four of the bedrooms were very comfortable, and we thoroughly enjoyed hanging out by the pool. We also were able to walk everywhere, since the location is truly right in the heart of Palm Springs, even though the house itself is in a great neighborhood in a very quiet street. Michael was a gracious host and quickly responded to all of my questions. If it's available for the dates you want, I highly recommend staying here!

Michael's house is nothing short of awesome. It is beautiful and very well equipped. It is also situated on a nice street in close proximity to the main drag in Palm Springs so was very easy to get around. Michael is a pleasure to deal with and responded quickly before and during our stay! Was a great Thanksgiving and we hope to be back at the Butterfly again!

Quick Trip

In a far too short stay, we discovered a lovely little gem. It's wonderfully located to downtown, easily within walking distance to local shopping and dining, and everything else I love about being in town. It's entirely private, with a fantastic little backyard and pool. in addition to the 3 bedrooms, it has a separate self-contained casita. The added comfort of inclusion of an available garage cannot be overstated. Everything about the stay was easy, our time was delightful, and we can't wait to come back. Thank you! xoxoxox

Wonderful Stay at the Butterfly House in Palm Springs

We had an absolutely delightful time staying at the Butterfly House in Palm Springs. The location was perfect, nestled in the charming Historic Tennis District. This prime spot allowed us to easily walk to a variety of fantastic restaurants and shops, making our stay even more enjoyable. The house itself was lovely, with beautiful decor and all the amenities we needed for a comfortable and relaxing vacation. It was clear that a lot of thought and care went into maintaining the property. We particularly enjoyed the peaceful ambiance and the overall charm of the house. Overall, our experience at the Butterfly House was wonderful. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a convenient and charming place to stay in Palm Springs. We can't wait to return!

Mid-Century Modern Holiday!

We had a fabulous stay in this lovely mid-century modern home just 5 minutes from downtown Palm Springs! We loved the pool, spa and the indoor-outdoor bathroom in the casita! It was the perfect desert vacation we hoped for! We also brought our miniature dachshund who loved the shallow tanning ledge part of the pool to cool off in. The kitchen was great but the BBQ was out of propane so we weren’t able to BBQ as planned. The house and casita do need better drapery as the sun would wake us up at 6am in full force. The landscaper also woke us up with the blower just after 7am which was too early for holiday sleepers! Otherwise was a perfect stay and we’ll be back!
