ABOUT THE HOUSE & CASITA The Poppy Desert House was designed by the famous Borrego Springs architect Richard Zerbe whose goal was to create mid-century design that took into account the unique landscape of the desert. Sunlight and mountain views pour into the living room, where mid-century furnishings complement the home’s mid-century architecture. Recline on a sectional leather couch or armchair while the pellet stove crackles. Find your favorite shows (hulu, netflix and amazon available) on the 39” TV, or stream them to your devices with complimentary Wi-Fi. The fully functional kitchen wows with turquoise counters and stainless steel appliances, including a double sink and a roomy French door fridge. Serve up special dinners in the immaculate dining room, furnished with an eye-catching vintage pecan mid-century table and chairs. Ample seating and dining space awaits on the patio, equipped with two grills. Step through to the fenced pool area, where you can cool off on warm days or soak in the hot tub beneath the stars. There's another table and chair set here, plus a restroom and changing area. The peaceful master bedroom features a queen-size bed, a desk, and sliding glass doors to the yard.

All of us really enjoyed our stay at the Poppy House. First of all, if you love the desert, Borrego Springs is really enjoyable. We went four-wheeling, biking, sight-seeing, took a trip to the Salton Sea, etc. The house is really comfortable with a mid-century vibe. We especially enjoyed the very large and accommodating living room and kitchen area with floor to ceiling windows. It feels like you're outside even when you're inside. From the living room we watched rabbits, jack rabbits and roadrunners galore scurrying around the property. The mountain views are really impressive too. The house was very clean when we arrived and was equipped with everything we needed for our stay. We all agreed that the beds were very comfortable. Terrie, the host, was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. This was my first VRBO rental and it was a really great experience all the way around.

The house was just beautiful and exactly met our needs. The location was perfect. Such amazing views and so many different areas surrounding the home to enjoy them. The pool and hot tub were big favorites for the kids. Brand new grill was much enjoyed. I will look to stay only there whenever we return.

Desert Poppy House was the perfect vacation home for our trip to see the Anza-Borrego wildflowers. The home was spacious, clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. There’s a welcoming hot tub and pool for relaxing after a long day of hiking. And the location can’t be beat! Close to the Visitor’s Center, restaurants, and markets. We also enjoyed sitting outside at night under a million stars. Hope to visit again.
