Hilltop Haven - Midcentury Gem with Epic Views
P.S. City ID #068280| Primary renter must be at least 25 years of age to rent | No Pets Allowed (Proof of age required)
Gorgeous views, outdoor spaces, a great location, and total privacy: Hilltop Haven has it all. Two large King Bedrooms and a huge common space with multiple seating areas. The fully-gated property boasts an in-ground pool and spa on a raised deck with breathtaking views of the Coachella Valley below and the San Jacinto Mountains above. Tasteful appointments salute the midcentury modern heritage of this unique Palm Springs home. And while located just 10 minutes from downtown Palm Springs, the natural setting provides a sense of seclusion and privacy. Whether you're lounging by the pool, savoring a home-cooked meal, or relaxing in one of the two king-bedroom suites, you'll find that every detail has been designed with your comfort and enjoyment in mind. Beds: CK, CK
OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES Choose from two expansive outdoor spaces. Watch the sunrise and spend the day lounging on the pool deck as the palm trees sway over the vista. When the sun goes down, enjoy the city lights from the spa, or retire to the charming backyard, where romantic lighting and a cozy fire table set the perfect mood. Both spaces have multiple seating areas and outdoor dining tables, perfect for grilling under the stars.
** The pool will be heated upon request with an additional service fee. Please let us know if you'd like to heat the pool so we can ensure it is heated before your arrival. If you home has a spa or hot tub, heating the spa is included with your rental at no extra cost **
** Please Note: 1. This fee is not included in the quoted price on some booking platforms. 2. Pool heating may be added in minimum of 3 day blocks per request **
INDOOR LIVING SPACES This charming and luxe property is a true nod to 1950s Palm Springs. The living/dining area is a guest favorite, with walls of glass on both sides creating a quintessential indoor/outdoor feel. Share meals at the large dining table or curl up in the corner nook, perfect for kids, reading, and puzzles. The gorgeous modern kitchen features modern appliances but original doors, windows, and cabinetry that evoke the 50s vibe. It is equipped with state-of-the-art stainless steel appliances, cooking utensils, and spices, making it simple to prepare meals. The kitchen's colossal countertop and breakfast bar for four offer plenty of space for casual morning coffee and breakfast. Gather around the 8-person dining table for a tasty meal, or step onto one of two patios to enjoy al fresco dining under the stars.
Your comfort is our priority, so we've equipped this property with amenities, including three flat-screen TVs (with cable and streaming services), WiFi internet access, a well-stocked game and puzzle closet, a fully equipped kitchen (with dishwasher), a washer and dryer, easy to use gas fireplace, BBQ and plenty of outdoor furniture.
SLEEPING QUARTERS The ample bedroom suites are at each end of a long hallway for maximum privacy and comfort, with the primary bedroom featuring an en suite bathroom. One bedroom suite opens onto the sparkling pool and spa, the other onto the tranquil and secluded backyard. Both bedrooms feature California king beds. Perfect for two couples!
THE LOCATION This extraordinary one-of-a-kind home is located in the upscale Little Tuscany neighborhood, just minutes away from the restaurants and shopping of the Uptown Design District, and only 1.6 miles from the heart of downtown. The house is conveniently close to the famous Palm Springs Tramway and golf, hiking, tennis, horseback riding, and other popular outdoor activities.

Wonderful property, well-designed and clean. Private pool and hot tub were amazing, views incredible. Location was perfect - very private but still very easy to pop downtown and be there in about 5 minutes. Loved it.

Hilltop Haven is easily one of the best places we’ve stayed in Palm Springs! It’s the perfect retro decorated cool comfortable sexy stylish spot! We loved it! And we really appreciated Acme taking our call Saturday night at 9:30 to help with the jacuzzi. The house is VERY well appointed even down to the fancy charge stands for phones, iwatches and air pods! We will be back for sure!! Thank you for an excellent birthday weekend.

We’re so happy to hear you loved Hilltop Haven! The retro style, comfort, and little details are what make it such a special spot — and we’re glad our team could help get the jacuzzi sorted so you could fully enjoy your birthday weekend. Thank you for celebrating with us, and we can’t wait to welcome you back!
A great home to enjoy PS. Fantastic view of the valley, including multiple outdoor spaces to enjoy the weather. You won’t want to leave the pool and spa area. House design allows outside views to come inside. Kitchen a bit dated, but quite functional. We will definitely return.

Perfect home for family of 4, great view of the valley and relaxing pool. This isn’t a pool you can dive into, it’s more of a dipping pool which was fine for us since all we did was mostly float around 😊

Overall I loved this location! It was up the hill with some of the most amazing Palm Springs views. I would absolutely stay here again. The list of good things is so very large (the view, space, ammenities, pool hot tub, tv, showers, kitchen. The only thing we couldn’t figure out was how to light the bonfire in the back yard. The driveway is pretty steep and takes some practice to feel comfortable.

As the owner of a vacation rental retreat in Canada, I had an eye on every aspect of the experience to know if I could learn something new. I was very pleased to find the standards of the management group and owner match mine.
Everything about this property is perfect for vacationing in Palm Springs. The location, amenities, furniture, linens and views and management team exceeded our expectations. There were days we stayed home all day because we had all we need at the house. Our only regret was having to leave.

Nice property. Great management company. Could use a few updates. Kitchen and bathrooms are dated. The check in process was awesome and the the people really nice. Construction a few doors down was every day. It was nice, just not one of the highlight properties I’ve stayed at in Palm Springs. Again, great people but not as nice as I was hoping.

Enjoyable, clean and well maintained.
A few small issues that were rectified quickly and professionally.
We would not stay that far north again as it was far too windy for us.
otherwise it was a great place.
Thanks!

Hi Tim,
Thank you for staying with us and we are glad you enjoyed the property. Hilltop Haven truly is a great home.
The home’s unique location affords the incredible views, natural setting and tranquility that only hillside Chino Canyon properties can.
In terms of the winds, they generally tend to be stronger as one moves closer to the highways and away from the hillside. However as you noted some wind can still be present along the hills. Many people who live in the north end of town love the winds for their cooling effects during the warmer days.
We look forward to having you back in Palm Springs very soon. Remember, returning guests with ACME receive $100 off their next rental.
The property in Chino Canyon offered us a mid century modern space where we could retreat and relax after long days of exploring around the dessert. Most of the time was spent around the pool area, lounging in the comfortable sun beds. There are many signs warning of noise regulations so we were saddened not to be able to listen to music for fear of getting a violation. We weren’t able to get the fire pit to work, and we were stuck outside the gate upon arrival for a while due to the lock box not working. Minor things over all and didn’t overshadow our love for this gem of a place. We would highly recommend this property to anyone.

Thank you, Lori! We're so glad that you had a relaxing stay with us and we hope you visit again soon!
We loved our stay at Hilltop Haven! Loved the vibe of the property, very well equipped with everything we needed, also really enjoyed the grapefruit and lemons from the trees outside. The only minor inconveniences were getting what seemed like many remotes and codes figured out for the front gates and garage doors, took us a few tries until we could open the front gate without the garage door also opening lol. Also, the hot tub was sporadic in that sometimes it would heat up and sometimes just would not! We initially texted and didn't get a response, then called, someone was supposed to come out to look at it, not sure if they did or not because we were out when they were supposed to be there. Overall, a fantastic stay, absolutely gorgeous location, definitely would recommend.

Needs Updating
For a few days, it was nice. Several things need updating though.
1. The cabinetry is old.
2. There is an opening somewhere in the house because we had a constant stream of flies that needed to be killed. In the first two days, I killed 7 of them.
3. The couch is not comfortable at all.
4. There is no kleenex in any of the bathrooms.

Thank you for your feedback and staying with us. We want to reassure you that we take all concerns seriously and wanted to give you an update.
This is a vintage home and the windows and wood cabinetry have been intentionally kept original - it’s part of the charm of the home, that’s why we include a note about this in the property description. With that said, the walls and cabinets were all recently repainted and touched up where necessary, and the home itself gets repainted on a regular basis. We also always ensure that the cabinets are always functional and clean.
Regarding the flies, please always let us know if a problem like this arises and we’ll send one of our technicians to help fix the problem. This is the first time this type of an issue has come up in this home, and flies are generally not a problem in Palm Springs, especially in the summer so we appreciate you letting us know.
Same with lack of Kleenex boxes or any other supplies for that matter. The home is well stocked but if there are items that you require which are not already placed in the home, you can always just give us a call so that we can help.

WE ARE FROM ARIZONA,BUT PALM SPRINGS, PALM DESERT, AND LA QUINTA ARE JUST NICE FOR A GET A WAY. THE VIEW WAS GREAT. I WAS NOT EXPECTING SUCH A RUSTIC HOME. TO US THE FURNITURE WAS JUST OLD, AND CEMENT FLOORS WERE NOT APPEALING. WE DID NOT USE THE POOL.FELT IT WAS UNSAFE,BECAUSE THERE WAS NO HANDRAILS. WE WOULD NOT RENT THIS HOME AGAIN, BECAUSE THE AREA WAS RUNDOWN WITH MANY EMPTY STOREFRONTS SO WE HAD TO TRAVEL FOR DINING, SHOPPING, AND SIGHT SEEING. OUR COMMUNICATION WITH ACME REALTY WAS FINE AND WE WOULD USE THEM AGAIN.
