The property was the perfect size for four guests. The mountain views are spectacular. House was clean and well equipped. Barbecue grill came in handy. Pool and hot tub were just what was needed pre and post Stagecoach. The neighborhood is quiet and convenient to Palm Springs shopping and restaurants. Would definitely stay at Mellow Yellow Butterfly again.

Pool was overly dirty from palm tree pollen and leaves. Of course not entirely under the properties control, but additional cleaning of the pool prior to arrival would have helped.
