Sparrow’s Lodge Staycation

March 7, 2017
  • Share

Got a series of texts from friend VS the other day sharing a slew of pictures from some of her travels.  VS is known for hopping on a plane on a whim to international to places like Iceland, Scotland, Japan and any where a plane will take her.  She is one with a huge travel bug.  If a plane will take here there, she will go.  Having helped out at COCOCOZY for a bit, she knows I love great photos from her travels and all of her amazing adventures.

Two weeks ago, I got a marvelous text from her about her most recent travels – this time, she did not get on a plane.  This trip was a Sparrow’s Lodge staycation just outside of Los Angeles in Palm Springs.  She had a friend visiting from out of town, so they packed up her car and headed east to the desert.  Her description of the weekend stay…”camping rustic vibe! And it is very cozy – the people there were so nice.”  She described it as “a cool summer camp”.  All I know is that after seeing her photos of the hipster desert California casual decor and setting…I want to try out this little spot too.

Here is the description from the Sparrow’s Lodge website:

“Originally built as Castle’s Red Barn in 1952 by MGM actor Don Castle and his wife Zetta, it was one of the original resort getaways for Hollywood elite. Legend has it that iconic actress Elizabeth Montgomery had her first marriage at the Red Barn. The property also has had incarnations as Catalina Palms, El Rancho Lodge and now Sparrows Lodge. The Lodge was fully restored in 2013 and many of the original buildings are still in use with modern updates retaining the charm of the original Red Barn.

Sparrows Lodge is a completely restored 1950s retreat. You will be welcomed roadside with a simple hand-painted sign with two Sparrows. The Lodge has a modern rustic vibe that carries through to our rooms, communal barn, outdoor fire pit and vegetable garden, accented by a collection of fine art including works by Ruscha, Kelly, Katz & Baldesari. The 20 rooms feature exposed beam ceilings, russet red walls, concrete floors with inlaid pebbles and butterfly chairs. Swiss army blankets top plush mattresses, and instead of closets you’ll find a metal footlocker along with hooks and hangers. Our bathrooms feature rain showers, and many include horse troughs as bathtubs. Most rooms have private patios. All rooms have AC/Heat and ceiling fans. With no televisions or phones in the rooms, there is an environment of ease and simplicity.”
