The Glass House is built around a circular kitchen, which was well stocked and legibly labelled. The panoramic views from the open living area featured desert specimens and local wildlife. The house was comfortable enough for a few days stay. The temperatures the week of our visit peaked at 117 F, so we were glad the air conditioning kept the house comfortable without issue.

This was a delight in many ways! The 50’s architecture, the landscaping and nature right out the front, and even some new technology (induction stove) to try out

The living room and kitchen were perfect to socialize, cook,and play games for a group of 8.The view over the garden with the wall of windows was amazing. We saw quails, rabbits in the wonderful garden of cactus and desert plants

I stayed with six friends and myself in October 2023. We were going to see the Power Trip festival. We had a great time. House had perfect amount of single beds for our party. We enjoyed the grill on the patio carport area. Ideal location to Coachella which was approximately 30 minutes away. Was a little further than expected to nearest coffee stop but nothing unreasonable (10 minutes?). I would highly recommend if going to any events at Coachella or Palm Springs for reasonable $ and large party.

The house was fine as well as the location. The weather was brisk but nice. The house was old but well kept and enjoyable.

The house is so cool - loved the setup. It had everything needed for our trip and was a quiet respite away from everything. Beds were comfortable (and there are plenty to choose from!)

This place was everything I’d imagined and more. My friends and I stayed here for Coachella and it was the perfect oasis to rest after. Uber was about 1 hour away which was expected because of Coachella traffic. We had seen so many bunnies and enjoyed the endless views. The owner responded very fast to my concerns and there was so much direction which was so comforting. Overall, I had an amazing stay and thank you so much letting us stay!

Our family loved the round house! It was close to everything we wanted to see/do. The neighborhood was quiet and private and the garden was incredibly lovely. The round house is quirky and fun. What an interesting design and the front room with windows facing the garden was magnificent in the morning sun. Kitchen is well appointed. there was a lot of extra room, we should have brought friends! We would love to come again.
5.0
Such a good vibe this house. The wooden beams, circular structure, original built-ins, unique art, very comfortable furniture and beds. House is set-back and mostly hidden from the barely used gravel street.Floor to ceiling wrap-around east to west panorama front windows gives a feeling of being outside. Bunnies, roadrunners, hummingbirds, doves and more entertain.

I loved my stay in the glass house celebrating my birthday with my husband and two grown sons. We spent one day exploring Joshua Tree National Park which is close by. At night we went for dinner in Palm Springs which has many restaurants , shops and galleries. The next day we got a day pass in a nearby spa for massages and soaking in the hot mineral springs. Mostly, I just enjoyed sitting outdoors on the grounds of the house with the majestic views.
5.0
The Round House was beautiful! It had an excellent well-supplied kitchen, it is bright and airy with stunning views out large windows. Well placed furniture to enjoy those views. There were plenty of towels and supplies. Walking through the quirky, folk-art studded gardens made one smile. It is a great house to kick back and relax in.
5.0
Landscaping and view of mountains AMAZING! Enjoyed relaxing in peaceful atmosphere. House was very clean. Architecture was a marvel of mid century modern. 15 minutes from Palm Springs, 35 from Joshua Tree and other points of interest. Great stay.
5.0
This is a very vintage house with unusual pie shaped rooms. The front and back yards have birds and rabbits and there is a lot of visual interest outside the windows. The view of the mountains is lovely. We stayed three nights and found the beds comfortable. The shower is a tad complicated.
We found a nice restaurant Delicias and ate there every meal.
The living room was comfortable for entertaining and I liked the big table.

We loved staying at the Round House. It was incredibly clean, had everything we needed and more (cooking, laundry, seating, etc.) all in a vintage, quirky home with an amazing garden. We sat outside morning and evening to watch the birds and animals.
Area-wise, Desert Hot Springs is not a dining mecca but Palm Springs is close enough that we didn’t mind driving there and back for dinner after a day of hiking. The garden, relative proximity to Joshua Tree National Park (about 45 minutes to the main entrance, less to the. NW corner) were well worth that small inconvenience.
It is a vintage house, so things are not perfect: older bath fixtures and plumbing, for example (but new kitchen stove and oven) however the owner and property manager responded in record time the one time we needed something fixed.
Overall, we can warmly recommend the Round House.
5.0
Loved the property. Lots of unique bird species including roadrunners, California thrasher, cactus wren, and hummingbirds. Lots of bedrooms and space for large groups. Would definitely stay again.
4.0
There is everything from a 1 to a 5 in this property. The outdoor area was wonderful. The large windows in the front room with the view was the best place to relax and enjoy the fun wildlife and landscaping. Views of the mountains was spectacular. The bedrooms and bathrooms were rather interesting with hot and cold water reversed and pressure fluctuating. Lights and wiring were also interesting.
We weren’t expecting Palm Springs luxuries. This place was eclectic, clean, fun and well worth the price.

This is my second stay at the round house. This visit was just as good if not better! It is a very special house that is welcoming—especially during desert rainstorms! All good.

Six of us stayed in the Round House over Christmas. What a unique and eccentric place to stay! Sure we could've rented a cookie cutter condo but we opted for character and boy did we get it. The house was clean and well appointed. We absolutely loved the front patio area and spent most of our time out there soaking in the sunshine and enjoying the peaceful vibes from the yard. While there we enjoyed trips to Palm Springs and Joshua Tree NP. Communication with the owner and the property manager was great and they were both very responsive with my many inquiries. We would stay here again for sure. Thank you!

We stayed here with the family over winter solstice. The architecture and style of this house is inspiring and excites your imagination. The host was great, very responsive, and we didn't have any unmet needs during our stay. The big room in the back served as a warm and comfortable playroom for the kids. The kids loved seeing quail and rabbits through the big windows in the front. The beds were very comfortable, we slept better here than we do at home. Check out was so easy, the host didn't ask us to do anything beyond putting the keys in the lockbox.

The Round House is a wonderful place to base camp for exploring the Coachella Valley & Joshua Tree. Beautiful, tranquil landscaping and a fun mid-century modern vibe.

Our 8 day stay at the Glass House was amazing. So much room for all 6 of us. The house was exceptionally clean and well maintained. It had everything we needed to prepare meals so we never needed to eat out and that saved a lot of money. We could even do laundry. All the comforts of home and then some.
5.0
Excellent place to stay for all of us over 60. Plenty of room to spread out
Close to Joshua Tree National Park
Close enough to drive over (2 1/2 hrs) to go to Catalina Island which is a wonderful place. Also, took the drive over to Hollywood on another day. Just a great place & within 20 min to Palm Springs airport.
Miracle spa & resort is also a great thing to do in Palm Springs Love the area

Adorable house but beware…..
Adorable house, lots of space, appeared clean, great desert landscaping, not in the best area/town. That was fine, but on the 3rd/final night of our stay, we found roaches. Yes, big roaches. I know they live in the desert, but when I texted the owner about the issues, she stated that they hadn’t had roaches in 2 years and apologized but basically told me that if we left the screen doors open (which we didn’t, it’s the desert in July) then the roaches might come in…. very disappointing “resolution.” There was also bait throughout the home when we looked closer (behjnd the beds etc)…..

Amazing House
This is an amazing house; the architecture is fantastic and really neat. Unfortunately, some people don't respect the owners or their home as the tenants before us took advantage of these very kind people and left a huge mess which caused a delay in our check in process. One of the reasons this property is so great is because of how the owners and manager communicated with us. I cannot say enough great things about these people and how awesome they were to us the entire time we were there.
The A/C broke with record heat outside and they came to fix it same day. Turns out the reason it was broken was because of disrespectful tenants who don't appreciate the beauty and work that has gone into this home. This is not a party house, this is a work of art.
The house is great, but truly the best part of this property are the people who run it and the amount of care they've put in.
5.0
Breathtaking
This property was wonderful to stay in. It felt so peaceful. Just about everything you need is available. You have neighbors but they are far enough away that you have a lot of privacy. We enjoyed the many bird species but especially the quail and dove families. ( wished the hummingbirds stayed around longer but most of the spring flowers were gone. ) Many rabbits and white tailed antelope squirrels running around too.
Many things to do in the area but the house is so comfortable you almost don’t even care if you leave.
Would stay here again.
