The overall atmosphere is calm and restorative - perfect for relaxation, family time, and reconnecting with the people who matter most.
-Outdoor Amenities-
The grounds at Monkey Manor feel like a private botanical retreat in the desert. Set on over half an acre and fully fenced for privacy, the property features mature tropical landscaping, sprawling lawn areas, and winding garden paths that create a secluded resort-like atmosphere rarely found in Palm Springs. At the heart of the backyard is a large saltwater pool featuring a distinctive “M” centerpiece for Monkey Manor, surrounded by lounge chairs and open skies. From the pool, you’ll enjoy sweeping views of the San Jacinto Mountains rising dramatically to the west, providing stunning sunsets and golden evening light.
A tall outdoor pergola anchors the main gathering area, where Moroccan hanging lanterns glow softly over a large outdoor dining table - an ideal setting for sunset dinners or long evenings under the stars. Beneath the pergola is an additional lounge seating area for conversation and relaxation. Multiple outdoor spaces invite guests to spread out and enjoy the property. There are lounge chairs around the pool, a cozy seating area just off the back patio, and a fire pit nestled within the lush garden landscape for late-night storytelling and stargazing. For elevated views, a spiral staircase leads to a rooftop deck featuring a bistro table and lounge seating where guests can take in sweeping mountain vistas and watch the desert sky transform at sunset. The expansive yard, vibrant landscaping, and mature trees create a peaceful oasis where breezy evenings, star-filled skies, and outdoor dining become part of the daily rhythm of your stay.
-Living Area-
The great room serves as the social heart of the home, offering a bright and spacious gathering place framed by soaring vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. Expansive windows flood the room with natural light while offering views out to the lush backyard and pool. A striking dual-sided gas fireplace with floor-to-ceiling native stone anchors the space, visible from both the living area and the backyard patio. It creates a warm and inviting atmosphere for cozy evenings after a day exploring Palm Springs. The living space is designed for connection and comfort, whether you’re gathering for conversation, watching the big game, or enjoying a movie night on the large 85" smart TV. Southeast Asian design accents throughout the room add texture, warmth, and personality to the space, giving the home a unique and curated feel.
-Kitchen & Dining-
The kitchen is chef-friendly, fully equipped, and designed as a welcoming gathering space for preparing meals together. Stainless steel appliances, generous counter space, and a convenient breakfast bar make cooking easy whether you’re preparing a quick breakfast or a full group dinner. Guests will find both a Keurig and drip coffee maker available, with coffee pods, beans, and sugar provided so mornings can begin effortlessly. The kitchen opens directly into the dining area, creating a natural flow for shared meals and social gatherings. The dining space also features a bar area where guests can mix cocktails or pour a glass of wine before dinner. Outside, guests will find two separate outdoor dining areas - one beneath the illuminated pergola in the backyard and another on the front patio for peaceful morning meals. A gas BBQ is also available for outdoor grilling.
