12 Mid Century Modern Vacation Rentals Worth a Look

To know Palm Springs is to be in awe of her mid-century architecture. This iconic design form defines the city almost as much as the city created and shaped it. Whether you’re visiting for Modernism Week or rightfully believe every week here deserves that moniker, then you’ve come to the right place. ACME House Company offers stunning retreats that embody the mid-century magic of Palm Springs. From sleek furnishings to luxurious outdoor spaces, our portfolio of vacation rentals are more than accommodations—they’re your ticket to the ultimate Palm Springs experience.

Key Features of Mid-Century Modern Design

What makes mid-century modern design so timeless? Its unmistakable features have become synonymous with the Palm Springs aesthetic:

•  Sleek architectural elements
Think flat planes, large glass windows, and clean, horizontal lines that create harmony between the structure and its natural surroundings.

•  Bold colors and patterns
Splashes of vibrant hues and playful patterns add personality and warmth, a hallmark of mid-century style.

•  Seamless indoor-outdoor living
Sliding glass doors, patios, and pools blur the boundaries between inside and out, inviting the desert’s beauty into every space.

These design elements feel right at home in Palm Springs, perfectly complementing the city’s dramatic landscapes and sunny climate.
