ABOUT THE HOUSE & CASITA
The Poppy Desert House was designed by the famous Borrego Springs architect Richard Zerbe whose goal was to create mid-century design that took into account the unique landscape of the desert.

Sunlight and mountain views pour into the living room, where mid-century furnishings complement the home’s mid-century architecture. Recline on a sectional leather couch or armchair while the pellet stove crackles. Find your favorite shows (hulu, netflix and amazon available) on the 39” TV, or stream them to your devices with complimentary Wi-Fi.

The fully functional kitchen wows with turquoise counters and stainless steel appliances, including a double sink and a roomy French door fridge. Serve up special dinners in the immaculate dining room, furnished with an eye-catching vintage pecan mid-century table and chairs.

Ample seating and dining space awaits on the patio, equipped with two grills. Step through to the fenced pool area, where you can cool off on warm days or soak in the hot tub beneath the stars. There's another table and chair set here, plus a restroom and changing area.

The peaceful master bedroom features a queen-size bed, a desk, and sliding glass doors to the yard. The bright shared bath has a tiled tub/shower combination and a large vanity.

The guest room also has a queen-size bed, plus sliding door access to the patio and the yard. A full-size futon offers extra accommodation.

The lovely casita has a well-appointed kitchenette, a sunny living room with sleeper sofa and a memory foam style mattress, a bedroom with a queen-size bed, TV and a pristine bath with a walk-in shower.
