Bed and Breakfast Stay – Casa Cody Nov. 20 & 21, 2013<\/p>\n

When you first get on the property you are stunned at how far down the street it goes, but the website is very misleading, it looks a lot smaller then the true layout. It is a sprawling compound filled with lots of nooks and crannies that takes up a whole city block. The hot tub is nettled in between two of the cottages, and is hard to find if you don\u2019t ask someone.<\/p>\n

There is so much history here, dating back to the 100 year old Francis Crocker Adobe on the property. Casa Cody\u2019s founder Harriet Cody, came to Palm Springs in 1916. She arrived on a horse drawn gypsy wagon along with her health-seeking husband who was Buffalo Bill\u2019s first cousin, the hotel opened in 1932. In the early 1900\u2019s when few non-Indians inhabited Palm Springs, Harold Bryant Cody and his wife Harriet, came to find a new home in heart of the California Desert.<\/p>\n

Many celebrities have stayed in the standing on its own cottage; Elke Sommer, John Phillips, Mickey Spillane. Montie Montana was a guest; trying out his rope tricks in the garden. Another very famous celebrity cowboy actor Tom Mix took shelter at Casa Cody as well. In the 40\u2019s General Patton took over one of the wings as his office, and trained his troops for the North African Campaign. The property started out just being the Casa Cody house but by the 1980\u2019s owner Frank Tysen bought the adjacent properties, one owned by actress Polly Bergen and another owned by Mrs. Winter. I stayed in the original Casa Cody property and then moved to the newly renovated Mrs. Winter house in a small studio. Frank Tysen wanted to always keep every thing at Casa Cody very authentic, to its original architecture.<\/p>\n

There is a self-guided tour of Casa Cody, with the highlights being, the Adobe House, built in 1910, McCallum Era Irrigation Ditch, which got ruined in 1893, The Crocker Cottage, built in 1940. Then you have the Olympic Cottage built in 1932, The Apache Lodge built in 1950, and The Winter House, built in 1936.<\/p>\n

Casa Cody is a romantic, historic hideaway nestled against the gorgeous San Jacinto Mountains in the middle of Palm Springs Village. Adobe hacienda architecture decor is inspired by Santa Fe and other desert cultures. They have managed to keep the original hacienda designs. The Winterhouse studio had a bit more of a modern flair. There were a few things that needed to be fixed overall in the Casa Cody large studio, but all and all it is a great find in Palm Springs. You know what they say: location, location, and location, right around the corner from the heart of downtown Palm Springs.<\/p>\n
