About the property

Primary renter must be at least 25 years of age to rent (Proof of age required).

Originally designed by local architect, Thomas Jakway in 2007, this truly remarkable, one-of-a-kind home welcomes you and your guests to the historic and eclectic South Palm Springs neighborhood known as the Mesa. Inside this 3,500-square-foot, two-story, luxury home, you'll find a number of high-end fixtures, amenities, and decor, all chosen with artistic attention to detail. The large, open kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, custom walnut cabinets, and Caesarstone countertops with easy access to a cooking terrace with a built-in barbecue grill and a view of the backyard and pool deck. The sunlit great room joins the kitchen and dining area with the living room complete with Fleetwood multi-stacking glass doors that vanish into the wall, erasing the line between indoors and out, and taking you out to a living/dining terrace with stunning mountain views. For sleeping options, there are three phenomenal bedrooms here, all with en suite baths and separate climate controls, spread out over both levels of this home and accessible via a spectacular glass staircase or a personal elevator. The impressive main suite, located on the upper level, includes a dual-sided gas fireplace, a stone soaking tub, front and rear facing windows, and a walk-in closet. Outside, the uniqueness of this property continues with an astounding oasis backyard nestled up against the hillside, featuring a saltwater pool and spa, a wet bar, gas firepit, numerous seating areas, and your very own ruins! That's right, neighborhood folklore suggests that the ruins were part of a never-completed project to build a casino on an adjacent lot in the 1920s, but now you can dine or socialize within the ancient walls that have been expertly integrated into the landscape. WHAT’S NEARBY The surrounding Mesa neighborhood is more than just a historic celebrity enclave once home to famous actors, authors, and songwriters, it is also conveniently located between downtown and South Palm Springs for easy access to restaurants, golf courses, and hiking and biking trails. From this home, you can walk to several popular destinations including the legendary Ace Hotel, the Moorten Botanical Garden (founded in 1938 by the desert's first horticulturist), Mr. Lyons, and so much more. This property is also just 23 miles from the Empire Polo Club, home of the annual Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and Stagecoach Festival. THINGS TO KNOW Full kitchen with a wine fridge plus an outdoor wet bar Two barbecues included. High-capacity washer/dryer. Outdoor shower inside the ruins. A twin futon in one of the lower-level bedrooms offers extra sleeping space.

•Pool and Spa heating can be purchased for an extra fee per day. Pricing can vary, depending on the size of the pool and spa; it can take up to 48 hours to heat. Please reach out prior to arrival if you are interested in adding this amenity.

Our stay at this house was exactly what we were looking for. It’s so close to all of the downtown activities, yet it still felt like we had some privacy up by the mountain. The house was extremely clean upon arrival and checking in and out was so easy. Parking was also easy if you have up to 3 cars max. The house had 2 outdoor 2nd level patios which were perfect to sit outside at night time. I would definitely stay here again in my next trip to Palm Springs.

Beautiful home inside and out with the architecture and art throughout the home. Very comfortable and well furnished. Fits it perfect with Palm Springs and surrounding mountains.

We felt like we were at our own resort. The house was very private, spacious, well -equipped, and beautifully decorated. The backyard was amazing! The “ruins “, pool table, putting green, pool and spa met every entertainment need. What a special place.

We enjoyed 4 nights here. Was as pictured. Master bedroom/bath upstairs with kitchen/dining/living room and 2 bed/bath downstairs at pool/spa level. The twin bed is a futon-type bed in one of the downstairs bedroooms. Very clean. Large master with gas fireplace. Garage fits 2 cars. Backyard space very nice. Would return!

The house was ideal for our long weekend in Palm Springs. It was super clean and well-stocked with toiletries and supplies. The only downside of the house are the many, many power lines that obstruct the view.

The Lookout was perfect for our group: multiple common areas with lots of room to retreat for privacy as needed. Nestled against the mountains, the setting is spectacular. The exuberant interior design matched our festive mood. Well done!

This property is absolutely amazing! From the sweeping views to the spacious rooms to the luxury touches throughout, we couldn't have asked for a better home for vacation. Despite having many options for Palm Spring tourist activities, (other than my husband and sons taking a golf outing) we mainly stayed/relaxed at the property the whole time. The pool area is awesome, and the ruins that house the pool table, one of the outdoor dining areas, and second grill can't be beat. We loved learning about the history of Palm Springs from all the literature in the living room and then seeing some of it played out in the ruins. The architecture and artwork throughout the house gave a decidedly Palm Springs vibe. Finally, while relaxing in the pool, we saw big horn sheep trekking across the mountain terrain directly above and adjacent to the property. What a treat to see wildlife like that! We have stayed in many luxury properties, and this is one of the best. We felt pampered the whole time and didn't want to leave! You won't be disappointed, and we recommend this property with 5+++stars!

This place is as nice as advertised. Be sure you read the rules—they are strict—but the house is a stunning oasis with a perfect location and little treats and thoughtfulness that go a long way: sharp knives, adjustable lighting, tons of towels, and fresh citrus on the trees!

Another Wonderful Stay at The Lookout

5 of 5

We really love this home. Perched at the top of a hill, there are breathtaking views of the valley from large floor to ceiling windows. The front facing terrace is a fabulous place to relax and enjoy the fresh air, views and sun. The house is well appointed and comfortable. We love the historic neighborhood as it allows for fantastic walks and architectural sightseeing. I might give the property 4.5 stars if I could, simply because parts of the house are beginning to show their wear. For instance, the bed in the master bedroom could use replacing and the kitchen cabinets look like they need refinishing. The rental price for this property is high so I am not sure we would splurge on it regularly, but we will be thrilled to return some day.
