Twin Palms Ocotillo Lodge - Mid-Century Modern w/Views of Mt. San Jacinto

This completely remodeled 1BD/1BA condo is located at the famous and storied Ocotillo Lodge, one time exclusive hangout of the glamorous stars of the 50's and 60's.

Everything in the unit is new, the modern aesthetic works perfectly with the mid-century modern architecture and surrounding complex, which still retains its mid-century charm and Rat Pack Swagger. Mid-Century purists and design aficionados will love this option, as it provides the best of both worlds, with all the modern conveniences.

The living room features a comfortable mid-century modern style sofa , HD SmartTV, and a giant wall of glass facing the large private patio for you to enjoy unobstructed views of Mt. San Jacinto. This particular unit has arguable the best, direct view of the mountain, and becuase the positioning of the Fred Astaire Suite, you have more privacy than all other bungalows in the back of the complex where the patios are smaller & squished together, compromising privacy, noise from neighbors and views. The open kitchen offers stainless steel appliances and all the gadgets you'll need for a weekend or extended vacation. The bedroom also has glass slider access to the patio and a clerestory window with views of the tops of palm trees and beyond. The bathroom has modern dual vanities and sinks with a walk-in shower.

Situated near the NE corner of the complex along William Krisel Way and East Palm Canyon Drive, this 1 bedroom ground floor condo enjoys a private patio larger than most all other units, and is just steps away from parking, making entry and exit much more convenient. If privacy, discretion and VIEWS are important to you, then this is the unit for you!

The Fred Astaire Suite @ the OL is also located just steps from Steve Hermann's iconic L'Horizon Resort and Spa, making lunch, dinner or cocktails among modern day celebrities, Hollywood A-Listers and even former Presidents - a total reality! Other dining options include the uber trendy ACE Hotel’s Kings Highway cafe, Elmer's, Koffi, The Saguaro, El Mirasol and our favorite - Indian Canyons Golf Resort and Club - South Restaurant, open for breakfast and lunch, all within walking or bicycling distance!.

The grounds of the Ocotillo Lodge feature a champagne cork-shaped, heated swimming pool said to be the largest in the entire Coachella Valley. There are also two large, heated spas with outdoor BBQ lounge area, the famous Tiki-style Sunshine Bar where Don Ho would sing his tunes, community laundry and much more. The clubhouse is currently under renovation but the fitness center is open. Enjoy your own private slice of Palm Springs Glamour right here at the Ocotillo Lodge.

This particular suite was once home to dancing legend Fred Astaire, designed by architects Dan Palmer and William Krisel and constructed by the Alexander Construction Company in 1956. Ocotillo Lodge combined short and long-term residential living with the conveniences of resort-style amenities, with over 100 apartment-style units featuring private patios. The iconic Ocotillo Lodge was a favorite spot for many celebrities, including Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Betty Grable, Lucille Ball, Frank Sinatra, Katharine Hepburn, John F. Kennedy Jr., Jack Benny, Jean Harlow, Doris Day, Fred Astaire, Harpo, Gummo and Groucho Marx, Errol Flynn, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Clint Eastwood, Gene Autry, Perry Como, Spencer Tracy and many others.

Wonderful Stay

Quite possibly the cleanest, most well-appointed rental we have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. The owner was responsive when contacted and the price was reasonable. The decor of the Fred Astaire Suite was fun and made the stay a true joy and the location was convenient to most everywhere we wanted to go. Highly recommend this property!

Nice home base near downtown Palm Springs!

Very comfortable condo with mid-century decor. Loved the history of this place. Pool is super nice with views of the mountains, with “Rat pack music”. Nice patio area. Host is over the top, super responsive. Only con was the traffic noise off Palm Canyon Drive.

Our New Favorite Spot in Palm Springs!

My husband and I came out for nearly a week stay in Palm Springs and this location is our new favorite! The unit was spotless and looks exactly as it does in the pictures. The kitchen had a great assortment of tools for cooking (which my husband and I did often - there are several grocery stores just down the street). We loved sitting on the private patio in the early mornings and in the evenings - great views of the mountains. We also loved the pool area and spent most of our time floating in the water and enjoying the mountain views from there as well. Robert and Brian were AMAZING hosts - super responsive and communicated about anything that might impact our stay (the trees were trimmed while we were there and we were given plenty of notice to move our car and Robert even came and swept off the patio afterwards - talk about great service!) This is the perfect retreat and I cannot recommend it enough to anyone who is looking for a getaway in Palm Springs. We look forward to staying here again on our next visit!

Wonderful private get-a-way!

Great communication from the owner and property manager! Easy check-in process. Clean. Non-cluttered. Everything was comfortable! Loved the outdoor space. Perfect location for doing just about anything in the area. We loved the privacy. We loved that we could stay in a place with personality instead of a boring hotel room that looks just like all the rest. We loved that we didn't hear any neighbors and felt like we had the entire complex to ourselves. Easy parking. Plenty of towels, pillows, etc. Well stocked for cooking. Yes, there is a little bit of road noise during the day, but we were gone most of the day anyway, so it truly didn't matter. At night we didn't hear any road traffic. You can definitely tell that the owner loves the place and really put a lot of thought into the atmosphere. Honestly, if you're like us and laying around a pool all day is not your cup of tea, and want to stay in a place where you don't hear music or others having their fun because quiet and respite is what you need for your soul, stay here. It will definitely be our couples' retreat next time we are in the area!

1960's Charm with Modern Updates

Arrived for a one week stay at a spotlessly clean and well-equipped bungalow. Notably, this place does not feel like a hotel, but more like my new weekend home, but with decor from the desert modern era of the 1960s. (This is a good thing!) Make no mistake, this place has been fully updated with modern appliances.As others have noted, traffic noise from street is somewhat noticeable, but not terrible. The bathroom could use some counter space.Would I stay here again? Yes!
