A sprawling, Spanish-style home with TerraCotta roofs and a guest casita, The Lucy House lies in the heart of downtown Palm Springs.
Surrounded by a wrought-iron gate and 12-foot ficus tree wall, the 5-bedroom home sits on manicured grounds lined with soaring palm trees. Luxuriate by the 35-foot pool on one of eight chaise lounge chairs, enjoy a cocktail by the fire pit, or take in mountain views from the above-ground spa.
A formal, 10-seat dining table on the covered patio overlooks an European-style fountain for dinners with ambience, while a separate 6-seat table on the pool deck offers a sunny option for brunch. An outdoor kitchen with two natural gas BBQ grills will inspire outdoor cooking with views of distant mountains.
The main house, styled in the decor of an elegant Spanish villa, boasts vaulted ceilings, tiled floors, and walls of picture windows. French doors throughout seamless flow between indoors and out. In the living room, lounge on one of three full-length sofas to enjoy the 55-inch HDTV, complete with cable, or cozy up to the gas fireplace on one of two charming armchairs. If you feel inspired, take advantage of natural sunlight at the writer’s desk to journal your thoughts or plan your next great adventure.
Just beyond the living area, a custom, hardwood dining table seats 10 guests for the evenings when you prefer to dine in the comfort of air conditioning. The gourmet kitchen, located just off the dining area, boasts custom granite countertops, Wolf and Sub Zero appliances, and two dishwashers.

Worth every penny for a reunion of friends. As a bonus, the Truman Capote house is 4 houses down

Hello. We are delighted The Lucy Home was perfect for your reunion with friends. Thank you for being our guest; we hope to welcome you back to Palm Springs soon!
Great location for family vacation- walkable to coffee, restaurants, town. Unique layout of home- one primary suite, plus two Jack n Jill sets of 2br/bath. No interior hallways though, so tough to hang out after putting kids to bed at night. No window screens- got a few mosquito bites. Well equipped kitchen and lovely pool area. Hospital wasn’t as noisy as expected.

Thank you for sharing your experience at The Lucy House. We are pleased that you enjoyed the home and its location, even though the layout wasn't ideal after bedtime. We hope to welcome you back for another Palm Springs getaway in the future. Thank you for choosing Natural Retreats!
The house really is gorgeous, perfect for a larger group that wants some private space but tons of communal area, too. The backyard is the best feature, with the gorgeous pool and mountain view behind. Communication for early check-in was a bit confusing, it seemed the ground team wasn't in touch with what the office was telling us was possible to come early, but I did appreciate communication/attention when we had an issue with one of the showers. We also saw a bunch of cockroaches during our stay in multiple rooms (the house was very clean when we got there, but I assume there being many entrances into each room from outside has something to do with this), and overhead noise from helicopters landing at hospital across the street was particularly bad one of our nights. All that aside, would likely still stay again and recommend, just knowing those caveats.

Thank you for sharing your experience at The Lucy House. We are pleased you enjoyed the home and would love to come back for another stay. Our team appreciates the feedback you left and is reviewing it to ensure our guests have the best stay possible there. Thank you for staying with us in Palm Springs! It was a pleasure to host you.
Lovely house, well laid out with rooms having their own private entrances. A bit of noise from the air ambulance to the hospital nearby, but made up for by the great location and easy access to all parts of the city.

Thanks for your review, Gina. We're pleased to hear that you and your family had an exceptional stay at The Lucy House, and we look forward to hosting your next visit to Palm Springs again soon!
Was a beautiful weekend with 8 friends. Lots of cooking in the well stocked kitchen. Layout of house allowed for great privacy.
Pool was cared for amidst being soiled due to wind storms. Random encounter with contractor/ gardener walking into backyard in the middle of our stay but quick response from property manager acknowledging legitimacy.
No major issues. Lovely stay. Water and pressure in middle Jack/Jill bathroom is very low.
Would come back!

Thanks for your review, Javier. We're delighted to hear that you and your friends had a wonderful weekend stay with us at The Lucy House! Thank you for being our guest, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Palm Springs in the future.
We loved everything about this house and it was perfect for our group of 9 this Thanksgiving. We enjoyed the outdoor spaces and spent a lot of time lounging by the pool and dining Al fresco. We also loved keeping all of the doors open to bring the outdoors inside most of the day. We had plenty of room to spread out between our 3 families, including 3 children of various ages. The property manager was very responsive to all requests and we had no issues. We highly recommend this property.

We are thrilled The Lucy House was perfect for your families' Thanksgiving getaway and appreciate you sharing your experience. We hope you revisit us soon. Thank you for choosing Natural Retreats.
The house and the location were amazing! It was perfect for our group of 10. Walking distance from downtown and minutes from our fave coffee spot, Ernest Coffee. We stayed there during Coachella. It's was a 7 min walk to the nearest shuttle stop and was super easy and convenient. Although it was 45 min from Indio, it felt like a nice getaway before and after the festival. I would highly recommend and can't wait to stay here again!

We're thrilled that you had a wonderful visit with us during Coachella, and that you found the home nicely located and the perfect size for your group. Thanks for being our guest, and we hope to see you back in the future!
Perfect stay for a group of 9 women with large outdoor and indoor table for big meals. Wonderful kitchen for preparation of meals. Everything you need is there. The pool and hot tub were warm/hot respectively and plenty of hang out furniture poolside and chairs to gather around the fire pit into the evening. Comfortable and clean rooms. Truly the best place for this celebration. The history of the home makes it even more special. Book it; you cannot not love it!
