A perfect spot for guests looking for a comfortable and relaxing stay. A great place to call homebase while you're away, we hope you enjoy your stay.

The Penguin Cottage offers a dreamy mix of old Hollywood Glamour and contemporary comfort. Book your stay in this true Palm Springs oasis today! This special place is close to everything, making it easy to plan your visit.
This 1937 Spanish-style stunner has been completely refreshed to blend vintage glam with modern amenities. Once featured in The New York Post as “The Most Colorful House in America,” its current owners honor that legacy with vibrant hues, decadent details, and wallpaper throughout. It’s easy to envision Cary Grant sipping a cocktail in one of the property's many stylish spaces.
The sumptuous living room is anchored by a grand fireplace adorned with bronze tile and intricate wood detailing, vaulted ceilings, comfortable lounge areas and a bar. The house boasts four beautiful bespoke bedrooms, each with a flair of their own, three with French doors. One of the elegant bathrooms has a separate shower room and dual shower heads, the other a grand oversized clawfoot tub. Brand new designer kitchen with enviable appliances connects to a dining room with more French doors that open to the completely private and expansive front yard. That’s where you’ll find the stunning sapphire-tiled pool and breathtaking views of the world famous San Jacinto Mountains, huge shaded lounge pods, BBQ, and a dreamy grass-roof palapa over a long table for year-round al fresco dining. Or grab a good book and head to the private backyard draped in jasmine for respite beneath the orange tree.
