Krisel's Glass Cabin—an Architecturally Designed Wonder featured at Modernism Wk | House in Palm Springs
3 Bedroom House in Sunmor, Palm Springs
We set out to create the Palm Springs home we always wanted to find on Airbnb. Krisel's Glass Cabin (Permit #379) featured on multiple Modernism week tours, was originally designed by modernist architect William Krisel in 1958. The living area blends seamlessly with the desert outside with recent renovations adding a new kitchen, solar system, a heated pool and a cedar hot tub in the gorgeous and private backyard.
The space
This is a premium and architecturally relevant vacation space where you can relax inside or out and and soak in the beauty of the desert. It's furnished with a combination of custom built-ins and mid-century modern reproduction furniture and lighting. Reproductions include Serge Moulle, Tom Dixon & Arne Jacobson lighting, Eames chairs and Daybed sofa, Nelson bench, Saarinen Womb Chair. The entire back of the house is open to the yard glass blurring the boundary between inside and outside and providing stunning views of the San Jacinto mountains.
Guest access
You have our entire home! The pool is wonderful year round, and even better when heated to 87 degrees it's $75 per day fee if you want it heated (that's what it actually costs us in gas and electricity!). Please let us know a day in advance so we can start heating prior to your arrival it takes roughly 24 hours to heat it. The garage is used primarily for storage right now, if you need access let us know, but otherwise it will be locked.
If you aren't exactly sure how to work something our property manager is only a call away (and literally only 10 minutes away) and she's always here to help, it's important that you feel comfortable and can use all the many features of the house.

The 'Sunmor' neighborhood was originally imagined in the mid 50s by legendary builder Bob Higgins. Built on the WW2 era airport, the area was named Sunmor because its location provided an additional 45 minutes of sunshine before the sun set behind the San Jacinto mountains. The first dozen homes are designed by Donald Wexler and are dotted between the many Alexanders and Meiselman's in the neighborhood.
Getting around
We are about 6 blocks from the airport, about a 5 minute walk, and a block from public transportation. Downtown Palm Springs is 2 miles and a away. In cooler months it's an excellent place to get around by bicycle.
Three or less miles away:
- The ACE Hotel
- The Paker Meridian
- Workshop Restaurant
- Cheeky's Brunch
- Bootlegger Tiki Bar
- Ernst Coffee
- The Rooster and the PIG Restaurant
Uber is very good in Palm Springs and highly recommended if you want to enjoy another glass of wine sans guilt.
