We had a fun time at Mellow Yellow Butterfly! The owners have put a lot of thought into making the home welcoming - great pool and hot tub areas with a hammock and plenty of chairs and sofas to lounge, fun mid-century decor, and well stocked kitchen for dining in. Easy to access downtown. Would stay again!

Mellow Yellow Butterfly for Stagecoach

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.

Ok but pool was dirty

Pool was overly dirty from palm tree pollen and leaves. Of course not entirely under the properties control, but additional cleaning of the pool prior to arrival would have helped.

Very Mellow Yellow

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.

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

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.

Exactly What We Needed

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!
