About this villa rental
The City of Palm Springs ID#2891 – Perched above Palm Springs in an exclusive enclave, Villa Cahuilla boasts spectacular panoramic views of the city and surrounding desert mountains.
We recently finished several updates to the house that weren’t ready when the photos were taken… automated solar shades in the master suite, blackout blinds in additional guest bedrooms, huge outdoor daybed ottoman at pool, additional seating around the outdoor fire pits, and 2 large outdoor umbrellas around the pool.
Designed by celebrity architect Michael Mueller in 2013 with an homage to mid-century meets mission design, Villa Cahuilla is designed for private living and is now available for client’s appreciative of opulent amenities and materials not normally offered in a vacation home.
Nestled into the majestic San Jacinto mountains, Villa Cahuilla is a chic 4 bedroom, 3 bath oasis surrounding a luxurious heated pool that features 4 tranquil waterfall-fountains and offers completely unobstructed views of Palm Springs and the surrounding desert.
The private grounds boasts 4 separate outdoor fire features, ancient rock formations and stunning multi-tiered gardens that include a collective and mature cacti garden. Dine in the gardens at the outdoor dining table that seats 12, or belly up to the bar and BBQ beside the pool. The property also features an 8-person jacuzzi that is literally perched on the edge of the mountain; offering unobstructed views of Palm Springs and the surrounding desert mountains the jacuzzi’s own fire feature and multi-color mood lighting are indulgent complements to an evening of champagne and stargazing.
Pure luxury in amenities: Villa Cahuilla offers tranquil indoor-outdoor living with French doors that open the entire house to the pool, gardens, and unparalleled valley views. The living area features an 80” 3D plasma entertainment center and a dramatic stone fireplace. The master suite features it’s own stone fireplace and spa bath with twin basin sinks and raintree showers . Guest rooms include spa bath with huge soaking tub, raintree showers, plasma TVs, and large walk-in closets for long-term renters. Linens are sumptuous and unlike a typical vacation rental with plush Egyptian cotton bath and beach towels, luxury sheets, as well as extra blankets and comforters for those chilly nights. The modern gourmet kitchen offers 3 ovens including a convection oven for the chef, 4 burner gas stove, large-capacity dishwasher and custom cabinets with leather ball-stitched handles and white Caesarstone countertops. Indoor/Outdoor Wi-Fi completes the experience.
FILMING & PHOTOGRAPHY – No photography or filming is permitted at Villa Cahuilla without the express written consent of the Owner. Amateur photography and video for personal and non-commercial use is permitted. Any for-profit filming must receive prior written permission from Owner.

This property personifies Palm Springs getaway vacation!
My wife wanted to spend her 40th birthday in Palm Springs with close friends and myself. She told me this was the best property she's stayed in Palm Springs, by far.
The swimming pool was beautiful, the interior decor was clean and modern. The AC was working great when it was over 119. The house is located in a secluded neighborhood overlooking Palm Springs. It just doesn't get any better than this.
The communication with property owners was top notch. A great memorable weekend!

Villa Cahuilla is the perfect location, convenient to the fun shops and restaurants of downtown Palm Springs yet a world away, secluded and private. There are so many different locations on the property to settle into a comfortable lounge chair to relax and enjoy the varied views of the city and mountain ranges. The sunrise and sunset over the mountains was amazing. From the pool to the jacuzzi to the ping pong table to the many board games, our family spent hours having fun. The property has everything you could want. We had the most amazing time!

The home is outstanding down to the smallest detail. A designer / decorator dream. Nick greeted us and was very friendly and super nice. From the moment we met him we knew if we needed anything, he was a quick phone call away. All made for a wonderful weekend celebrating a birthday with our adult children and their spouses. Would definitely go back.

A beautiful home with a great view and wonderful host made our recent stay at Villa Cahuilla a win on all levels. The home is stocked very well with cookware, dining plates and utensils for preparing meals and the housekeeping service (Mirabel & team) was super! Nick provided timely updates and asked if we needed anything at different points of our 10 day stay. We look forward to returning to this property very soon!

Our family trip with my adult children and grandchild could not have been better. The grounds and house at Villa Cahuilla were perfect and absolutely beautiful. Nick was professional and friendly, and was quick to get back to me when I had a question. There were several attractions close by which we visited, though it was hard to leave the property. We also had a special family dinner celebration at the Villa with Chef Tammie, and it was superb. She and Liza were amazing. I can't say enough about Villa Cahuilla and would highly recommend this vacation spot for families or a group of friends who want privacy and beautiful surroundings.

We spent a week at Villa Cahuilla in October 2023 and had a wonderful time. It was our third stay at this exceptional, one-of-a-kind property, which is one of our favorite rentals anywhere. Nick is an excellent host and I highly recommend a stay.

I had an excellent experience with this vacation rental from start to finish. Communication with the owner was incredibly easy and he was super helpful, accessible and friendly. We were provided literally everything we could have wanted or needed while staying and it was truly paradise. It was such a luxury and pleasure to stay in this beautiful home and we all cannot wait to return. The best feeling was that when we went out we all agreed we couldn’t wait to return to the house to enjoy it.

There are so many great things about this home, I do not know where to start. How about the view? As good as advertised. We even had one day of rain and sitting inside with the doors open, listening to the rain with the view of the beautiful landscape/rock formations/pool was great. The host is great at communication and provides a thorough introduction upon your arrival to the home. The location was 15 minutes from the airport and less than a 10 minute drive to anywhere you want to go in Palm Springs. The hiking is just out the door and up the hill. Do not miss this benefit as not many houses have such easy access. The rooms and the bathrooms were very nice. The hot tub was clean and hot and may have been the best hot tub experience due to the fire pit and view. If you have the opportunity to stay here, use the recommended in house chef for your meal as she gave us one of the most delicious, personalized and amazing dining experience we have ever had.

Nick is an awesome host who clearly knows what he's doing. He warmly welcomes you and then lets you be, while remaining responsive to questions during your stay.
And the house...words and pictures do no do it justice. The view is amazing. The area around the pool is on point. The kitchen is well equipped. The integrated sound system is amazing. Everything you want and need is right there and so much more. Amazing house and we can't wait to come back!!

I cannot recommend Villa Cahuilla highly enough. I could go on for pages and days about all of the wonderful things that there were to make our experience memorable and so perfectly turnkey. Here are a few of my top takeaways!
Villa Cahuilla: The house itself is stunning. STUNNING. It is beautifully designed to maximize the world class view of the mountains and desert that Palm Springs is known for. The outdoor living space is all gorgeous, perfectly functional and adds value to the experience. We used the pool, jacuzzi, fire pit – and also enjoyed a dinner at the outdoor dining table. The interiors are gorgeous as well, you feel like you are in Architectural Digest photoshoot. A million little neat and interesting touches throughout. The kitchen is so well organized and comes with anything and everything you could need during your stay. (Really, they think of everything to make guests comfortable). Each time a new guest would arrive their jaws would drop!
Location: You feel like you are tucked away and private, but the house only 5 minutes from town. It’s convenient to everything you could want to do in Palm Springs. There is even a hiking trail just up the hill from the house with amazing views.
Mike & Nick: Super responsive, communicative, accommodating and very kind/cool people! Their attention to detail truly makes all the difference. They even worked to get me into the house early after a last-minute change of travel plans, communicated directly with a private chef to make sure every detail was seamless. Someone met me just to check me in and make sure everything was explained and pointed out. That is ultra-high quality service I have not expereinced before! You just can tell every single thing is put together with true care with the guest in mind.
If you are looking for a special experience, Villa Cahuilla is the place. Really everything is included in this house. We will remember our stay for the rest of our lives! Five stars, and endless thanks to Mike and Nick. Worth every penny (and more)! :)

We had a great time at this truly beautiful property. Only stayed a couple of days so we weren't able to take advantage of everything this property offers. Made full use of the pool and jacuzzi and just generally hung out at the house, making forays into downtown Palm Springs occasionally. This property sits on a hillside with a great view across the valley. It's accessible by a private road and feels very private and secluded, yet just minutes away from Palm Springs, Palm Desert and pretty much everything else. Nick was a great host, met us at the house and showed us how everything works. We had just got in from a long drive from the Grand Canyon, so I absorbed about half of it, but everything is pretty straightforward. Nick responds promptly to any questions you might have. Honestly, this house is ideal, really, and we would love to come back and spend more time!

Stunning and comfortable
We had a lovely time. There are so many spaces to hang out, on your own, or with a group. The kitchen was well equipped, the air conditioning worked great. We loved the waterfall into the pool, and the magical lighting all over the property. Everything is well thought out and comfortable. It felt like we were at a friends house. It close to downtown and the view from the house at night it spectacular.

I don’t think this review will even begin to properly describe what a relaxing and fun experience we had in Palm Springs. First, we were greeted by the house manager, Patty, who was the kindest soul I have ever met. She let us know where everything was and guided us through the whole property. It was such a great touch to have her there to greet us. The house was beautifully curated with artwork, a sculpture garden, custom furniture, decor, etc. You could tell how well loved the house is because of how everything is set up. Everything you could ever need was available and ready to use for a stress free vacation. Lastly, the concierge service they have set up is beyond amazing. Nick set us up with a masseuse and private chef during our stay and I cannot begin to describe how magical that was. The massage was life changing. Scott was the sweetest and most healing person I have ever met. Chef Tammie’s food was incredible. So rejuvenating and was probably the best meal I’ve had all year. You could really tell what an amazing couple the owners were by the people they know in their circle. I would highly highly recommend staying here to feel the true magic of Palm Springs. I hope that we can one day come back very soon to relive this experience all over again. We were so sad to leave. Thanks so much Nick! I will never forget this truly live changing experience.
