Mellow Yellow Butterfly for Stagecoach

5 of 5

The property was the perfect size for four guests. The mountain views are spectacular. House was clean and well equipped. Barbecue grill came in handy. Pool and hot tub were just what was needed pre and post Stagecoach. The neighborhood is quiet and convenient to Palm Springs shopping and restaurants. Would definitely stay at Mellow Yellow Butterfly again.

5 of 5

Very comfortable relaxing house, full size equiped indoor kitchen with bonus outdoor kitchen. The pool, spa and fire pit were the winners, all immaculately maintained. The couple of extra touches like a vinyl player, bag of ice and ground coffee were appreciated. Pillows were super comfortable too! The no music rule outside I was worried about but honestly you don’t need music to enjoy the space, keeps it relaxing for everyone and the mountainous view I could never tire of enjoying. The management team was immediate to respond to any query every time.

10/10; would highly recommend choosing this home for your next stay in Palm Springs. It was close to restaurants, stores and local bars. We stayed here for Coachella and it was only 5 minutes from the nearest shuttle pick-up spot (Palm Springs Convention Center). The pool/backyard was our favorite part of the house. It was modern, colorful and spacious. The home management company were responsive and informative. We had everything we needed to know before our stay and could get in touch with the property manager any time we need (though not necessary). Overall, I can't wait to return to Palm Springs and stay here again.

Our family had a great stay at the Mellow Yellow Butterfly House. We came to Palm Springs to unwind and get out of the PA cold. The house had everything we needed to do just that. The backyard was perfect. The property ticked all the boxes for an authentic Mid mod house.

We just had the most magical stay at the Mellow Yellow Butterfly. A truly transportive place and exactly the relaxing and inspiring trip we needed. The house has everything you could possibly need, and has so many cute touches that makes it feel truly special. So clean, so cute. The colors take you away, the fire pit and outdoor dining area is exactly what you need, and the pool and view cannot be beat. We pinched ourselves each day we were there. Don't hesitate. Book!

Mellow Yellow is a gem!

We had a wonderful relaxing week with another couple at Mellow Yellow. The house is a tribute to mid century modern design and furnishings, complete with a Shag print. The outdoor areas are plentiful and the pool and hot tub were pristine. The house was fully stocked with dishes for inside and out, even though we ate at all of the fabulous PS restaurants. This house was even better than advertised -- we highly recommend!

Super Cute and Well Appointed

5 of 5

Super cute and well appointed mid century home in a desirable location close to everything. Check in process super easy and communication was clear. The house is very clean exactly as it appears in the listing. Nice TV and sound system with turntable and some fun vinyl. Pool and hot tub were clean and delightful. And, critical for winter in Palm Springs, the pool was heated with no surcharge or extra steps to heat it every day. Walk out and swim, even on brisk mornings. We'd rent this place again in a heartbeat.

Palm Springs perfect

5 of 5

We were very happy with our stay at the Mellow Yellow Butterfly, the attention to detail, down to the mid-century house replica tissue box in the main bedroom just increased the fun during our stay there. It was great to be able to have breakfast on the patio and then walk a few steps to the pool for the day. The well-stocked kitchen and outdoor grill area allowed us to stay in and just enjoy the time together with our friends and family. Views of the mountains and palm trees from the pool area gave our stay a true vacation feel. We are figuring out how we can start scheduling a yearly visit.

This place is amazing! Great decor, the kitchen is well-appointed, and the location is perfect. We cook a lot so having all the bells and whistles was great. They went beyond when stocking the kitchen with gadgets and applicances. The backyard was great. The pool was shaded for some of the day which was really nice. Who does not love the Palm Springs sign on the back of the house?! The garage is air-conditioned for a great game of ping pong too. The property management company was flexible and communicated very well. We come out every year and we loved this house!

What a fun, relaxing and rejuvenating stay we had at the Mellow Yellow. The house is very welcoming, bright, clean, and happy feeling. Upon arrival we threw off our shoes and headed out the the beautiful yard for a dip in the pool. Heaven. My 9 and 12 year old boys were very happy and entertained for our whole stay. The ping pong table was a nice extra! My family really loved the decor. You feel like you're in a different time and really adds to the getaway feeling. You can even use the record player. The house has everything you will need, the kitchen is well stocked and the beds are comfy. This place does not disappoint. Enjoy!

We had the most amazing time at this property. This was our second time in Palm Springs and we absolutely loved this house (previously we stayed at Colony Palms Hotel). The property was even nicer in person than the description/photos. It was spotlessly clean, with very impressive high quality decor. Great mattresses! The neighborhood is very quiet and is a wonderful place for a walk to see other mid-century modern homes. We would absolutely recommend this property to our friends and family, and can't wait to come back. It is located a short drive from the Palm Springs downtown. We mostly got take out dinners and enjoyed them at our beautiful outdoor space by the fire pit.

Highly recommend the Mellow Yellow house. Easily accommodated five adults comfortably. Although the house isn't exceptionally large, everything is laid out in a way to allow privacy for multiple people staying at a time. Amenities such as the pool, hot tub and outdoor grilling area were top notch. Easy access to the local Albertson's grocery store. Only con (and this has nothing to do with the house) is the local ordinance forbidding outdoor music of any kind. However, ACME's staff did an excellent job of informing us multiple times of the city ordinance.

This home is located in a nice, quiet neighborhood, a convenient location. I was extremely impressed with Acme right from the get go. They were there to answer any of our questions we had. Every employee we met was friendly and accommodating. Furniture is so comfortable around pool area. There were many amenities. We had so much fun that we didn’t go out much. In case you are new to the area, here are some suggestions for restaurants: There is Pinocchio’s for breakfast. Great Eggs Benedict, Sherman’s Deli has fantastic sandwiches and desserts. Tropicale has a good happy hour with outdoor seating. Make sure you order the chicken. Really good drinks too. We found “the purple room” where the rat pack used to hang out. It is definitely worth a stop. Lastly, we liked the Daily Grill in Palm Desert on Paseo Drive. And from what I hear, John Henry’s is a hidden gem. I would rent this place again in a heartbeat.

Perfect setting in a well appointed house. We cooked 95% of our meals at the house and had every utensil, pan, etc we needed and glass tuberware- amen! The pool and backyard are meticulously maintained and we even had a visit from the pool person mid week to clean up some debris from two windy days. The house was clean, spacious and the beds were very comfortable. House is located close to downtown and grocery store. We considered rebooking the house mid week because it felt like heaven!

An amazing property. It was perfect for my family of five. All the amenities plus being able to cook your own food. We also enjoyed waving to all the planes take off. Don’t worry, they were high enough that noise wasn’t a nuisance. We would book the same property again in a heartbeat. It is exactly like the pictures. You won’t be disappointed.

This past weekend my girlfriends and I stayed at the Mellow Yellow Butterfly ACME home!! It was nothing short of amazing. The property has amazing views, an incredible out door area and is fairly close to everything. Not walking distance but a short 5 min drive. To say we had a blast would be an understatement. We absolutely love this ACME house. It was decorated perfectly for a Palms Springs weekend vibe and we all agreed if we were ever back we wouldn't even search for a better place. This is the one!!! There were 5 of us but the house could easily fit 6. If you are looking to spend a weekend in this town then hands down this is the house to stay at.

Overall Comment Great house, good service. Had a very relaxing time. Beds and linen great. Lots of supplies. Great location. Check in and out easy. Its super unfortunate about the whole new noise ordinance thing. I live in a tourist town and I hope it doesn't happen to us! We felt like we were being watched with the 3 noise monitors we found. Which were not accurate. At 930pm we were playing ping pong in the house with the door open and we got a call saying our music was too loud. We never had the music on once because we were too scared of getting kicked out. I couldn't even imagine having kids in that pool, you cant make a lot of noise even during the day. You have to realize its not the house its the area now. Hopefully they will dial back the rules in years to come.

I could not have asked for a better first visit to Palm Springs with this beautiful, retro-chic home. Myself and 5 other friends escaped LA for the weekend to enjoy a little fun in the sun. This house had EVERYTHING we could've asked for and more! From the pool to the outdoor grill and 3 bedrooms, we were very comfortable and never needed to leave the house. It was by far the best home away from home I have ever stayed at. I will definitely be back!

A Dream in Palm Springs

5 of 5

This house is 100. It's conveniently located for trips into town; it's situated on the lot ideally to soak up sun and mountain views with zero road noise; it's appointed to perfection with everything discerning guests could want in a desert getaway. The thoughtfulness put into this house sets it several notches above other houses I've rented in the area over the course of 8 years. Mid-century modern lovers will geek out over the beautiful butterfly roofline and authentic interior design and gorgeous furniture. Picky vacationers will love the selection of cooking, dining, and entertainment options--from coffee makers, to cutlery, to citrus presses. And for those of us who just want a picture-perfect spot to melt away our stress, the under-palm hammock, tranquil pool, and outdoor fire pits are oh-so-soothing. I can't rave enough about this property: it's lush without being obscene, environmentally-appropriate without being austere. The indoor/outdoor kitchen-bbq arrangements are an entertainer's dream. If you're looking for a sophisticated spot, you must try mellow yellow butterfly.

Acme Sets The Bar HIgh

Fantastic vacation at Mellow Yellow Butterfly. Acme sets a high bar. Their homes are amazing and Acme is very responsive to the slightest issue. I had a slight wifi problem that was resolved in about 5 minutes. An adjustment to the pool temperature was handled in an hour. This is the second time we've used Acme and really appreciate the extra steps - like meeting me at the house upon arrival - to make sure the visit goes well.

The house is just a short drive away from shopping, restaurants, hiking, and the airport - you really can't ask for more! We felt at home right away and didn't want our relaxing vacation to end. I will definitely be back to enjoy another stay at Mellow Yellow Butterfly!

Our family had a wonderful vacation at the MYB! The teen boys could not get enough of the ping pong room, the pool and oddly enough endless sports on the big screen TV. We originally planned to dine about town and explore the area but found we could not bear to leave our beautiful nest. A quick handy grocery shop and a couple fun meal deliveries and we were set. We cant wait to return.

Excellent Design and Attention to Detail

5 of 5

This is a beautifully decorated in Palm Springs mid century modern from head to toe. It is a delight to look at and just so much fun. The attention to detail in the amenities is unparalleled by any vacation home I've stayed in. Anything you could want or need during your stay, had already been thought of and provided: skewers for BBQing, plastic ice cubes to keep your drinks cool, but not water them down, on trend floats for pool instagram magic. This house has something for everyone: a hammock and shaded patio for those looking to relax, a pool, jacuzzi and fire pit for plenty of group hangout spots, a great indoor AND outdoor kitchen. We had a lovely girls weekend here and could not have enjoyed our stay more- we barely left the house!

Friends of ours invited us out for a few days while they rented this vacation home. We were blown away by the attention to detail, the fabulous space planning and the absolutely stunning mid mid design. Mellow Yellow Butterfly is made for fun! We smiled and laughed (and drank wine) the entire time. The most amazing part is that where ever we wanted to hang out on the property (and there were lots of choices) there was always enough room for everyone in the group. Can't say enough about how wonderful this property is and how gorgeous it looks.

Oh and the kitchen has chef grade pots, pans, knives. We shall return!

Mid-century modern heaven!

5 of 5

We could not have been more pleased with our stay at the mellow yellow butterfly. My husband and I were looking for a relaxing getaway to bring our 5 week old newborn daughter and this home was just what the doctor ordered! The house is mid century modern but you can tell it's been completely updated and the decor is very tastefully done. The kitchen is fully stocked with every item you could ever possibly need, including 3 types of coffee machines! I loved that all the bedrooms are all brightly lit with natural light but also have shades to keep the room darker if you prefer. The beds were so comfortable that we slept in for once in our lives and even our new baby got her first 6 hours of straight sleep :) . The backyard and pool have every amenity you need, including fun pool floats, a ping pong table, outdoor shower, fire-pit, a nice big BBQ with outdoor kitchen and a hammock. We spent most of our time hanging by the pool and grilling on the BBQ and even set up a beautiful al Fres'co dinner on the outdoor dining table. Last but certainly not least is the beautiful view of palm trees and mountains that look like something out of a postcard! Needless to say, we would recommend this house to all of our friends!

Me, my wife and my son were visiting from France and had a wonderful experience at “Mellow Yellow Butterfly.” It is conveniently located in Palm Springs, close to the airport and downtown. The house was perfect for the 4 of us, and our son had a blast in the nice swimming pool, while we were having cocktails and relaxing on the multiple outside tables and hammock. The garage and the ping pong table were also a plus, to keep our 5 year old busy. We’d definitely stay at this house again, when we go back to Palm Springs!

Paradise in Palm Springs

We stayed with my 2 cousins and their son for three days at this beautiful and charming house. It is located in a quiet and clean neighborhood of Palm Springs, minutes from downtown. Palm trees and the view of the mountain from the backyard are simply gorgeous and breathtaking. The house is furnished with taste, quality and nice furniture. It is obvious that the place has been recently remodeled. The bedrooms are spacious and bright. I could NOT say enough about the awesome beds, where I actually slept better than at home... We loved the attention to details, such as the cool posters (very Palm Springs) and the floats for the swimming pool! I do recommend!

I loved the Mellow Yellow Butterfly house, I stayed with my wife and 8 year old on an escape from LA weekend and what a relaxing and comfortable house. The attention to detail is fantastic. Staying in a mid-century modern house that was tastefully modified to add modern amenities with a great heated pool and hot tub really relaxed the whole fam so we could chill and just do a few Palm Springs hikes and outings. The outdoor kitchen is so practical and the fireplace was nice to hang out at after a night swim, San Jacinto mountain is super stunning from the deck chairs and the outdoor shower is just fun! We will come back to Mellow Butterfly very soon!
