Sparrows Lodge

Guests gather with microbrews each night around a fire pit at Sparrows Lodge. There are no phones or TVs in the rooms – this is where you want to come to unwind and remember what it’s like to kick through the grass in the great outdoors, even if these great outdoors are conveniently located just a few minutes’ walk from downtown Palm Springs. MGM actor Don Castle built the ranch in 1951, and it became one of the original Hollywood retreats (Bewitched actress Elizabeth Montgomery got married in the barn). Sparrow Lodge is a quiet place where people know your name and serenity prevails by the saltwater pool.
