    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.

    My family loved every minute of our Thanksgiving week getaway!! The house was everything we expected and had been hoping for. The neighborhood was so quiet and safe feeling. The hiking was so close and beautiful along with the amazing backyard! I would highly recommend this location if you travel to Palm Springs!

    A few of my girlfriends from college stayed at this precious place over the weekend. It was beautiful inside/out, close to town and an easy uber ride anywhere we needed to go. We all highly recommend this stay. We can't wait to come back!

    It was a very easy mellow mood and our family loved the place! We will definitely be back or choose another from Acme that allows pets so we can stay longer.

    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.

    It all went very well. 3:00 pm check in was a bit late. You can pay to check in earlier but we chose not to.
