• “The Lautner”: An elite hybrid between boutique hotel and vacation rental allowing architecture aficionados a chance to truly live the Lautner Lifestyle.
• “The Park”: A stunning 10,000 sq. ft. open-air event space with breathtaking San Jacinto Mountain views.
• “The Ranch House”: A 1957 California Bungalow offering guest services for weddings and special events.
• “The Clubhouse”: The newest acquisition, available for lodging, weddings, and special events.

The Lautner Legacy

As the most famous protégé of Frank Lloyd Wright, John Lautner’s work—especially “The Lautner”—echoes the principles he absorbed while studying for six years at Wright’s Taliesin West. Lautner stands as one of the last century’s most important contemporary American architects, known for exploring the relationship between human life, space, and nature. You may also recognize his signature style in homes like the Bob Hope Residence and the Arthur Elrod Residence in Palm Springs.
