Our family had a wonderful stay at the Shaken, Not Stirred home in Palm Springs over Thanksgiving week. The house exceeded our expectations, offering a comfortable and welcoming environment with all the amenities we needed—and more. The pool and jacuzzi were a relaxing amenity and the property was clean, efficient, and well-stocked with supplies. We had everything necessary to prepare and enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable, and the neighborhood was extremely quiet, making for a restful retreat. The service and attention from ACME House Company were exceptional; their responsiveness added to our positive experience. Even our dog enjoyed the stay, as the home provided thoughtful touches like dog bowls, though we brought our own supplies. It was reassuring to know such conveniences were available if needed. Areas for Improvement — There were a couple of minor concerns. The television in the master bedroom was outdated and unreliable, often freezing after a few minutes of use. A replacement would greatly enhance the guest experience. Additionally, we were informed that playing music in the backyard is strictly prohibited, even at low volumes, due to local regulations. While we understand the need to respect the neighborhood’s peace, the inability to play soft background music detracted slightly from the atmosphere, especially while relaxing in the jacuzzi. The policy, coupled with the threat of eviction for playing music, felt overly restrictive and left the backyard feeling a bit sterile despite its stunning views of the surrounding mountains. Highlights — One of the standout features of the property was the beautiful backyard, complete with fruit trees—lemon, orange, and grapefruit—that added a touch of charm and tranquility to the outdoor space. It was a joy to take in the scenic beauty while enjoying the amenities provided. Final Thoughts — Overall, our stay at the Shaken, Not Stirred home was fantastic. The property was well-appointed, quiet, and ideal for a Thanksgiving getaway. We would definitely book through ACME House Company again in the future. Despite the small drawbacks, we left with fond memories and a strong desire to return.

I had an amazing stay at boo boos hideaway place! The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and exactly as described in the listing. The location was perfect—close to everything, yet in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood.
Boo boos hideaway was incredibly welcoming and responsive, providing clear instructions for check-in. The backyard is beautiful with a swimming pool.
I highly recommend staying here and would love to return in the future. Thanks for an unforgettable trip!

This house accommodates two families and two children - its very spacious and you dont feel cramped at all - the pool and hot tub were a big hit - we had a small issue with the master bedroom blinds but the engineer fixed it very quickly - a perfect get away.

Butterfly Alexander is a great house in a great location. Spacious, well decorated and comfortable.
The bathrooms are not luxury, the house could use a bit of a freshening up, and the nonstop warning texts / warning signs (e.g. $500 noise fine) were slightly annoying, but for the money it's a bargain.
Our only real complaints were the lack of satellite TV (it would be nice to not have to enter Netflix, Prime, Hulu, Peacock, etc. usernames and passcodes on each TV); and the six or seven feral cats who are a constant presence. Not a big deal, but just a concern for those with small dogs.
Thank you for your feedback, Casey. We're pleased you enjoyed the spaciousness and decor of Butterfly Alexander and found it a great bargain in a prime location. We appreciate your observations about the bathrooms and the need for a refresh, and we will look into your suggestions regarding the television services. Your concerns about the feral cats are noted, and we'll ensure our policies address this for future guests. We hope to welcome you back soon!
