Palm Springs, California
The Citrus House is named for its many fragrant citrus trees, whose blossoms flood the grounds with their sweet scents during the spectacular spring months. There is a magical wonder about the house that one has to simply bask in to believe. Once owned by Darryl Zanuck, founder of 20th Century Fox, the Citrus House is a peaceful and comfortable oasis just steps from the wonderful downtown shopping and delicious restaurants. A word of warning though...it can be a tough property to leave :)
The comfortably charming main house features two large master bedroom suites. Through a short hallway off the beautifully appointed kitchen, the cozy bunk room (sleeps 4) includes a full bathroom, as well as it's own HD television. The Citrus House also offers 3 guest casitas, each with their own entrance - and each with a full bathroom, HD television, and tastefully designed furnishings. The three casitas are part of a separate structure which also features a view deck, where one can take in the majestic beauty of Mt. San Jacinto and the surrounding peaks.
The Citrus House includes a gourmet, state-of-the-art kitchen, ideal for entertaining and perfect for large gatherings. The large swimming pool and private jacuzzi are surrounded by comfortable designer outdoor furnishings. A large, covered, custom built wooden dining table provides an ideal setting for outdoor meals. Additional amenities include a traditional Bocci Ball court with nighttime lighting, an old steel cauldron outdoor fire pit circled by comfortable padded seating, a covered outdoor fireplace, a brand new outdoor pizza oven, a BBQ grill, 7 beach cruiser bikes, and 1 tandem bike.
Come, relax, and enjoy the sweetness of the Citrus House!

The Citrus House was absolutely beautiful and great for our group. Nice space, beautiful yard and pool/hot tub and fresh juice every day!!
Had a wonderful birthday weekend here with girlfriends. We loved the property. Beautiful decor, well stocked kitchen, fabulous pool and hot tub, comfy beds, and perfect location. Such a treat!
Great place to enjoy the yard with family and friends.
Agree with other reviewers. Pictures don’t do this property justice. It’s a really unique, one of a kind property. The outdoor space is lush and resort like with lots of comfortable seating thoughtfully placed with lighting and activities. Perfect for many uses - families, bachelorette parties, couples, retreats. House is centrally located within walking distance to restaurants, coffee shops, and bars. The inside is comfortably furnished and feels warm and welcoming with lots of charm and unique design features. The only thing to note is if you are staying during the high summer temps the house is old and not very energy efficient. The AC units in the casitas could use updating. Main house bedrooms didn’t get very cold except for the bunk room which had a modern split. The property ran warmer than expected but the outdoor space is so amazing, it 100% makes up for it. I would definitely stay again during a cooler month. Highly Recommend!
The Citrus House was fabulous, perfect for an extended weekend for our family of 6. Conveniently located to some of the best shops and restaurants in the desert. We enjoyed the beautiful tiled pool and comfortable lounge chairs, bocce ball, we biked, played tennis nearby, hiked to waterfalls, enjoyed outdoor meals in the garden and all watched MBA playoffs in the comfortable living room. The house was clean and comfortable, and so well equipped. The fresh citrus everyday was a real treat. We can’t wait to return.
Pictures online can’t accurately depict the beauty of the outdoor area of this home. It is stunning and we enjoyed as much time outdoors as possible. Despite temps in the 100’s, there are many covered areas that stayed cool and the pool is lovely. Hot tub wonderful as well. Property owner was incredibly responsive to questions or needs while we were there. The home is lovely as well-each bedroom has everything the guest would need and the kitchen is perfectly equipped. Our group of 6 friends could not have been happier. Proximity to downtown is a few minutes but still a quiet neighborhood. Beautiful park within a quarter mile that we all enjoyed as well.
Great spot for up to 6 adults. Clean, many outside areas to gather. Fire pit, hot tub, pool, bocci court and patio dining. Kitchen is fully stocked with all necessary supplies. Right of main street downtown Palm Springs. Many restaurants and bars nearby.
This was the perfect spot for our group of 9 women on our annual girls weekend trip (new city every year). The property was as described (no surprises). The location was excellent! Close and convenient to everything. The pool and jacuzzi were inviting. More than enough space to hang out and have fun but also have some private time if need be. I would highly recommend!!
We love staying at this beautiful property. It is a gorgeous home with well appointed rooms and a full stocked kitchen. It really is like staying at your own private resort; beautiful grounds, citrus trees, the large private pool, hot tub, bikes, bocce ball court, fire pit, outdoor pizza oven. Plenty of room to spread out and close to downtown. Owners and house manager are great with communication. Booking soon for next year. Thanks again for an amazing stay.
Everything was perfect. Thank you so much!
We stayed here for a bachelorette weekend to relax and restore ourselves. Everything on the property was stunning and thoughtful. It is the perfect place to stay in Palm Springs where you can have privacy, relax, cook in and have a truly memorable time. The home itself has aged very well and has incredible character, the kitchen is well stocked, and every corner of the yard is beautiful. The beds were all very comfortable and we stayed cool despite 100+ temps that weekend. The one single downside was that Gardeners came very early on Friday morning, which we weren’t notified of. It startled us, but we got over it :) the check in process was so easy and everyone involved was easy to communicate with. It would be a dream to stay here again, I had the best time. Don’t think twice!
Very nice property with three casitas. It's located on a Main Street so you get a lot of street noise while outside in the pool. House was not very clean upon arrival and had issues with the air conditioning all weekend not cooling the house down. Making it very difficult to cook meals inside since it would be unbearable. Was charged extra fees from management for cleaning out a fire pit and extra cleaning fees when the house it self wasn't clean ie (bugs and dust in rooms)on arrival and no instructions to not use a Fire pit to burn wood at night. Don't think it was worth the money for sure
My girlfriends and I stayed here for a long weekend and did not want to leave this gorgeous house. The photos do not do this property justice. The pool was perfect, the kitchen was perfect, and it felt like a dream staying here. We are already talking about another trip to Palm Springs. Highly highly recommend booking this perfect property.
This was a fabulous home to vacation at. The grounds are beautiful, hummingbirds/butterflies flitting around and fresh citrus from fruit trees! The pool, hot tub, lawn bowling and many chaise loungers were all utilized. A quick walk to shops/restaurants and close drive to the tram and hiking trails. The noise from the street did not bother us- actually made it less stressful to be quiet outside with PS noise rules. Took a day trip to Simi Valley to Reagan Pres. Library- a trip well worth the drive. Would highly recommend this home to others. Very easy check-in with excellent communication.
Eight former college roommates gathered at Citrus House for three days to celebrate our 75th birthdays and 57 years of friendship. Everyone agreed it was an amazing experience. The house and grounds are beautifully maintained and the location is excellent. The hosts are lovely and accommodating, and did everything possible to make our stay a memorable one. You will love your stay here.
Amazing place and really helpful hosts!! Will stay here again. Loved it !!
