Googie Ranch – A Meticulously Restored 1959 Butterfly Alexander in Racquet Club Estates
Designed by renowned architect William Krisel, this iconic 1959 Butterfly Alexander home has been obsessively restored to its original vision of space-age optimism. Located in the heart of Palm Springs’ Racquet Club Estates, Googie Ranch offers a one-of-a-kind Mid-Century Modern experience that perfectly blends vintage charm with contemporary comfort.
Artist Nat Reed had the rare opportunity to consult directly with Krisel during the restoration process, gaining insight into sourcing original materials and staying true to Krisel’s architectural intent. The result is a masterful revival that captures the spirit of the era—from authentic furnishings to period-correct details.
Inside, every room radiates the colorful, playful energy found in Reed’s retro-modern artwork. Nostalgically themed bedrooms spark the imagination:
Primary Bedroom: Queen bed, en-suite bathroom
Bedroom 2: Two twin beds
Bedroom 3: King bed All bedrooms include blackout shades for sleeping in and generous closet space—ideal for both short- and long-term stays.
Natural light floods the interior through sweeping clerestory windows and a dramatic wall of south-facing glass, blurring the lines between indoors and out. Step outside to your private quarter-acre lot, where you can take in serene views of the San Jacinto Mountains from a poolside lounger. The kidney-shaped pool and refreshing outdoor shower (with both hot and cold water) make it easy to unwind in complete privacy. As the sun sets, gather around the gas firebowl for cozy evenings under the stars.
In summer 2021, Googie Ranch received new Italian ceramic tile flooring and a full interior repaint, enhancing its fresh, modern feel while preserving its mid-century soul.
Located just minutes from downtown Palm Springs, you’re never far from vibrant nightlife, world-class dining, boutique shopping, art galleries, and iconic hiking trails. Whether by bike or car, everything you want is close at hand—including horse stables and the chic uptown design district.
Minimum length of stay and special rates may apply during certain seasonal events.
There is an optional pool heating available for a fee, (when needed). Depending upon length of stay, utility charges may apply.

10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
Everything was as-expected according to the listing. I especially liked that everything, including the grill and pool, were in good working order. Kitchen was well stocked, and we easily prepared several meals for our family of five. Loved all the doors and windows! Also loved the clean and shiny floors and plush towels. Air conditioning was a little noisy and there isn’t a fan in one bathroom, but we would not hesitate to stay here again. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We had a great stay at the Googie Ranch! The house was clean and had lots of amenities. The pool heating was a great idea and totally worth the extra fee. There was an issues with the hot water, for a period of time there was none (which made for a very uncomfortable shower). But contact information for the host was readily available and swift action was taken to come and fix it within 2 hours. The perfect mid century vibe, such fun decor, it really takes you back in time! Perfectly comfortable for 6 for a girls weekend or 2 couples and 2 kids for a family get away. Central location and less than 15 minutes from pretty much everywhere you could want to go in Palm Springs proper.

We needed privacy, rest and an opportunity to recharge. We are not party people and we found this charming soulful mid century home to have everything we needed. Most of all, we felt this property was well loved and well looked after.
6 / 10Average·Aug 2021
The house design and decor is as described, very palm springs, and fun. It had everything we needed and with young kids was a great set up. No problems with the house supplies or process of checking in and out. The host was responsive, even texting late at night during a power outage! However it does feel the house is a bit worn out and could use some updating.
The biggest concern was the cleanliness, especially during the pandemic. High touch areas were clearly dirty upon arrival, so we spent time cleaning the house and doing laundry before being able to enjoy it.
The pool and outdoor space was great, and where we spent most of the time. Overall we had a fun weekend.
