Netflix’s short-lived series Stay Here sent designer Genevieve Gorder and real estate expert Peter Lorimer around the country to help homeowners turn unique properties into successful short-term rentals.

Episode 7, titled “Palm Springs Time Machine”, brought the show to the Coachella Valley, where the hosts tackled a Twin Palms home that looked like it hadn’t changed since the 1970s. If you’ve ever wondered about the house, the episode, or whether you can actually stay there, here’s what you should know.

Stay Here: “Palm Springs Time Machine” Episode Recap

The home featured in the episode is unapologetically retro. Much of it appeared untouched for decades, from the layout to the finishes. Homeowners Ryan and Jess (no last names given in the episode) purchased the house for around
$800,000.

Rather than modernizing everything, they wanted to preserve the home’s time-capsule feel while fixing the most obvious problem areas, mainly the kitchen and the front yard.

Over the course of the episode, Gorder and Lorimer oversaw:

• A full kitchen renovation that kept the mid-century vibe intact
• Major landscaping updates, including dense ficus planting for privacy
• Technology upgrades like modern Wi-Fi and noise monitoring

The idea was simple: keep the nostalgia, remove the friction, and price it as a premium Palm Springs experience.
