A Lovely Quiet Stay

This is our second girls trip to the round house and we simply love it here. There is lots of space, so you can either nap in your room while watching the critters outside or you can do puzzles in the main room gazing through the panoramic window. Super relaxing. (Also if you have time, hit a hot springs spa and the Cabot Pueblo Museum.)

Relaxing Retreat

My family loved our stay! The glass house was so unique and spacious- plenty of room for the kids to relax in their own space with our down time. The views were amazing and we loved walking up every morning to look for the wildlife in the yard. The hosts were friendly and accommodating. This was the perfect location for our travel plans!

Amazing & Unique desert house

What a special place! We loved the architecture, collectibles, cactus garden, and peacefulness. We made a big Thanksgiving feast here, and it was a perfect setting and the (round) kitchen, though cosy, had everything necessary included great oven and induction cooktop. Then we enjoyed a few quieter days and it was an equally wonderful place to unwind. The views of the sunrises, sunsets, and lively garden are amazing. A few practical notes: The sleeping areas include 2 private bedrooms, a huge "camping" room with several beds and more mattresses, and another listed bedroom with 2 twins that is actually the passageway into the bunk room. There is no dishwasher. One suggestion - add a fire pit on the beautiful front terrace! Thanks much for sharing your amazing home!

We enjoyed Miracle Hot Springs pools and hiked in nearby Morongo Valley. Great views from the living room with plenty of local fauna to entertain us for breakfast. Everyone in our family found a comfortable place to sleep.

Fantastic location

We did not use all the rooms since it was only 3 of us( it can accommodate many guests) . We had a couple of days with one of our daughters to explore the area. The beautiful unique home is very well equiped wiith everything you need. The location is very convenient since it’s close to Palm Prings as well as Joshua Tree National Park. We highly recommend this home.

Fun and relaxing!

This house has it all! Equipped with everything you’ll ever need, great views, and an all around Fun house! A great bonus part of the experience was just exploring the inside of the house. Many quirky features due to the design, but that made it all the more enjoyable. Jane is an excellent host and very communicative. She lets you enjoy your visit, but is available if you have any questions. Instructions were very clear. Neighborhood was very quiet and no one bothered us.

Fun place that's a little kooky

Rolling up to this place, I was worried I was lost. It's pretty far north of Palm Springs proper (25 minutes), it's on a dirt road in a quasi-suburban neighborhood, and the house is set pretty far back from the road. But once we found it and got inside, the kids were pumped. While somewhat dated, the home has lots of space and interesting/weird details that make it fun. The furniture is mod and eclectic, as is the decor (and these are good things). Some of the spaces are cramped - and it was hard to figure out how to use the cook top - but the A/C and fans worked great and the beds were comfortable. Everyone loved the wildlife that's right out the door - the pheasants were a big hit. The adults loved the nice outdoor space and the kids loved the huge bedroom with beds for everyone. And the home design is surprisingly interesting - I kept noticing little details even after a couple of days. If I had to complain, we got tired of bumping into things in the smaller bathroom, and we found some bugs inside. But nothing we couldn't handle, and travel is an adventure. Suffice to say, if you're looking for a big and fun/kooky place not too far from Palm Springs, you found it.

About the host

Hosted by JaneTess Davis

Host profile image
At age 18 I read the Adele Davis book 'Lets Eat Right to Keep Fit.' That was 60 years ago. That was my bible. I have been on the path to health and nutrition ever since. Too many people today encourage diseases by their poor nutrition and by overeating. Today we MUST supplement our nutrition with appropriate vitamins and minerals because our many foods are lacking those essential elements that we need to sustain a good long and healthful life. Desert life fits right into a healthful way of life. Lots of new changes. This beautiful Glass House is my RETREAT.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with the gardens on this 1.2 acre property. The Round Glass House is a dream come true. Wild life is abundant. When I stay here I go nowhere else. I just sit and look at the beauty and the squirrels, chipmunks, quail, roadrunners, cottontails, and an occasional coyote. Night sunsets with bright stars!!! Shining all over the universe! Also have a wonderful manager Alex Terraza who can be called at any time.

What makes this property unique

Only 6 blocks to the famous Spas of Desert Hot Springs. Walking trails, hikes, 45 minutes to Joshua Tree, golf courses, great restaurants, 15 minutes to Palm Springs. The house is equipped with everything. Just bring yourselves. We have a new DVR which makes it easy to turn on the TV. Record what you like and watch later at your convenience.

At night the lights go on in the front and back gardens automatically. It is a light garden show. Sit outside at night and you may think you are in Paradise!!!
