I LOVED this museum. It is incredible architecture and history. The tour guide was so knowledgeable. A lot of the exterior you can wander for yourself but its totally worth it to take the guided tour inside of Cabots home. My group bought a Groupon for the museum which helped with the cost. I would recommend getting on the sign up list for the tour EARLY because they do fill up and then you have to wait for the next tour. They have a neat touristy gift shop that doesnt gouge you. You might want to wear real shoes opposed to sandals because the home is a pueblo carved out of the hill; it is quite dusty and dirty. My favourite part of this attraction is that it wasnt crowded and it wasnt boring!

This museum was such a treasure. My tour guide Irene was friendly and informative. It was awesome to hear about the history of desert Palm Springs. And the ambition from Mr. Cabot.I would recommend getting there about 30 minutes early so you can explore the grounds. Bring your camera there are plenty of locations that are picture worthy.The staff on the premises are also very informative in regards to the area so don’t hesitate to ask for any questions. I would recommend a spot just to get a better feel for what Desert hot Springs has to offer.

Great staff, clean & well maintained with guide tours. Lotta treasures in gift shop with reasonable price. Sufficient parking in upper / lower level.

Didn’t take the tour but really wish I did. Will for sure next time. Just a cool place to hangout and enjoy sitting in the sun.

I love history and this was awesome to learn about. I wouldnt recommend it for children under 8 yrs old though, they might not be as interested. (My opinion only)

What a surprise! Got on the guided tour. That is the only way to get a feel for the life that was made here. Just, outer guide was bringing with interesting insights. The home vibrates with history and artistic vision.

Cabots museum is a wonderful place it reminds us how beautiful desert hot springs is how I love desert hot springs and Cabots Museum thank you for the hidden diamond

A hidden gem that no one seems to know about. Well worth the trip. An even better experience if you can catch one of their artisan exhibits. I particularly like the Mata Ortiz pottery and artists when they visit.

Very small in size, and not worth the price

Always a pleasure to visit this beautiful museum. As a member I get 20% discount in shop which always has great gifts.Love the artisans shows..look forward to getting back soon.

Very nice hidden gem. Lots of history. Picturesque if you want any good photos opportunities there is alot to choose from. Be sure to check before on tour times, as they only offer a few throughout the day

Interesting drive to get to it. Cute little museum. It was a nice surprise on the way to LA.

If you are in Desert Hot Springs staying at one of the spas in town this is a great museum to visit to see the history of this interesting place you really get to see how the town of Desert Hot Springs became what it is today. You get to find out about Cabot Yerxa and his interesting life and what made him want to move to the desert. During his time here he discovered water and built this Pueblo. The tour is $13 and it is worth the money being able to go inside the Pueblo was great and our tour guide was very knowledgeable and had some insightful stories about Cabot and this place.

Highly recommend this hidden gem! A stroll through the past and stunning views!

Unexpected find in the middle of the Dessert Hot Springs suburbs, this is an intriguing and eccentric museum about an equally eccentric man with an intriguing life’s story. The tour is well worth the trek if you happen to be passing through the area and a fun place to explore.

Fascinating piece of history, with excellent tour guides to tell you the story. Lots of parking, with room for a few buses or RVs. You can walk the extensive grounds for free - lots of shady spots, but bring water if its sunny and hot. Two rooms are free to enter, while theres a reasonable fee for the tour of the rest of the house. In my opinion, its definitely worth it. Small gift shop, but no refreshments for sale (including bottled water, although there is a drinking fountain near the restrooms). The grounds are quite natural, meaning its not a smooth walk. Inside, theres a tight flight of stairs and rather close quarters. Those with limited mobility may have issues, but the guides can probably tailor the tour to your abilities. Very interesting local history, definitely worth your time.

Love the experience! Staff was wonderful, very organized! Thank you so much!

This was a great place we took Montessori class on a field trip. Great learning experience for the kids. The tour guide Ms. Mia was amazing with the children! She has lots of patience!! Answered all our questions and always had a smile on her face. She was great!! Thanks for the great educational experience!!

Cabots house is the museum. The docent was very familiar with the history of Cabot and the house. Very interesting

Am amazing place created by an amazing man. I recommend going when its under 100 degrees. Theres not much relief from the heat except in the trading post.

Awesome spot. Learned about this place on Atlas obscura, drive out from Palm springs and it did not disappoint. Very unique, cool place

If your passing by the area its worth stopping by to take a look. I took the (I think it was) $12 or $13 tour which lasted about an hour and gave you an inside tour of part of the house. If youre in a hurry or dont want to spend the money, you can walk the grounds for free and watch the informative video in the gift shop to learn about the interesting life of Cabot.

Beautiful history, definitely a must see for history buffs.

A very interesting place, full of fun facts and interesting features.

My wife and I both very much enjoyed the one hour tour through and about the man that built this site. A GREAT story! Very interesting!

This place is amazing. So much history and great pboto shots. Definitely a must see if your in the area.

Fascinating, unique little place full of local history! Recommend a tour so you can visit and take a look at a few of the rooms, and learn more about the original owner.

Better than I expected, the area has a lot of buildings and details to look at. They have managed to keep a great atmosphere and it was really cool to walk around here.It is free to visit if you just want to look around, a lot of the places are open for visitors. There is also drinking water and a bathroom right at the entrance.If you want to see the main building you have to take the guided tour, which is $13. Sadly I didnt have time to do it.

Wow. A visionary artist, pioneer, and advocate for the Native Americans indigenous to the region. Maybe just a little kooky? I wish more of the structures were also tourable. As a potter I really enjoyed the pieces hed collected that are liberally displayed.

Great scenery and gift shop

Love this place. Must visit

Well worth a visit if you are in Palm Springs gives you some historical background and makes you appreciate the setting better. We did not do the tour as its free just to wander around and there is lots to read and look at!

Take the tour. A fascinating peek into the life of an energetic man with a singular vision. Definitely one of my favorite sights in Palm Springs

Interesting place! Bought an accent wool rug there.

Wonderful desert environment, full of nature, art, and historical significance.

Dean, the guide (or docent as they seem to be called in America) was brilliant. Its best to get there early as the light is better and smaller groups means that doors to smaller rooms can be opened.

Interesting museum. You can walk around for free if you dont want to take the tour.

We had a great time

Awesome. Worth taking the trip off of the beaten path. Inspiring story behind this incredible piece of work.

Loved the tour, so informative. Mike was great and kept it very interesting. Wonderful little gem in our desert. You really get a feel for how Cabot lived and loved. And him and his familys travels were fascinating.Looking forward to going back.

Informative, if one doesn’t want to take the hour long tour, walk around the grounds. Helpful video and information at the store with nice people to assist.

Lived in Coachella valley my whole life and cabots pueblo always a great place to see the deserts History,jaw dropping what he did.

Great informative museum that showcases the history of the surrounding area. Definitely worth a stop if youre driving by!

This place is an amazing find. We were just driving by and my husband saw the building and carved feather. We turned around to see it and saw that it was a museum. We went back the next day. We got very lucky as it was not crowed and we were able to get on the next tour. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Mr. Cabot was a very interesting man. We all loved hearing his story! This is definitely a place to see!

We decided to visit this place on a whim. Looking to kill a little time before checking in at the hotel. We are so glad we did. This is a fascinating place built by an even more fascinating man. I highly recommend spending an hour here to take the guided tour.

Cute little museum. Staff was helpful and friendly.

Very cool and neat find in DHS.

Dont miss this! Definitely worth the time and small admission fee. Fascinating story about Cabot Yerxa and how he built this pueblo. His interactions with the native peoples is worth learning. Beautiful grounds and lots to learn here. Tour guides are awesome and can answer anything you may ask. Highly recommended!

Awesome tour ....interesting history!

Amazing historic feel to this lovely place. You wont be disappointed

Did the free part of the museum. If you pay for the tour you can see the inside of Cabot’s home.

Very unique museum. Cabots story is very interesting and very well told.

Very interesting and historic buildings. Docents were very informative.

Great docent lead tour. Interesting story of Cabot lodge

Great stop, photo spot!

Interesting historical site. The data on how the guy mapped out the water system is quite interesting.

Fascinating tour of a house built in the west. The story of Cabot was so interesting. I highly recommend it.

Interesting history and pleasant place to wander around.

What an interesting story.... such knowledgeable docent (Paula).... well worth the paid tour.

Worth the visit. Take the tour experience if you can.

The house and art were cool, but the art for sale was outrageously priced.

Enjoyed the tour. If you dont take the tour, you will miss 90 percent of it!

Tremendous information about this guy named Cabot! Take the guided tour but remember to bring a bottle of water. It gets hot and stuffy in the building. Such an amazing story.

A gem of a historical site in the Valley. A very interesting museum. The Pueblo tour (with small groups) is well worth the price.

A definite must! Beautiful grounds and story.

Most unusual place. Great story of Cabot

What a story! This is a remarkable structure and definitely worth a visit. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and kept our attention.

Will take the tour next time. I was with a friend who could not manage the stairs. I did explore the grounds which are beautiful with amazing views and the museum store is one of the best! Great stuff at reasonable prices.

Omg you have to take the time to walk through

Neat bit of Americana that is well worth exploring and supporting.

Be sure to take the guided tour, Paula is awesome.

Clean and details rich small village

Loved the visit, very informative! Would love to go again to get better aquainted with all of the exhibits! Maybe better on my own time!

Interesting place for sure. History of the original owner is very intetesing.

Rustic and entertaining for a one time visit. Free

Educational, historical background on distant cousin of Henry Cabot Lodge, fascinated by his environmental visions and risk-taking adventures. Recommend stopping here.

Very interesting place and well worth the visit. Definitely plan to take the guided tour. Its the only way to see the inside. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable.

Great stop in DHS. Really cool structure with interesting history! Worth checking out if theyre open!

Was an awesome first time there . Will be back soon.

A very interesting museum with a knowledgeable tour guide, surrounded by breathtaking scenery. Highly recommended.

Wonderful experience to be learning about this man and his life.

What a great history lesson, very friendly and knowledgable docent, not a tour for tall people, low headroom, be sure and take the kids.

Wonderful place to explore the wonders of the valley!

Amazing history of Cabot Yerxa, awesome museum/Pueblo!

Fun interesting place. It is hot there in August:-)

If youre in the city of Desert Hot Springs cool little place to visit and learn some of its history about who the first settler was and the first person to discover water here in the valley nice little Museum lots of things for sale they also have different groups that come up and make pottery and paint it and fire it while youre there and then you have the opportunity to buy it from the original artist pretty cool place stop in and check it out

Pueblo House built by cabots true his house is different , one of the first in Desert Hot Springs , Worthy of the national registry ? No , in the tour of his house they glorify this Cabots fellow for building such a weird house. But they hardly mention anything about the real true natives of this land the lndians. There are many stories about so called pioneers who are really invaders !! Lets hear some stories about the Desert Hot Springs Indians.

Very small, not too many things to see, & is still in restoring status.But it has historical memories & development information about the city.

Very cool little place. A lot of history and shade. Giant totem!

Awesome place, definitely enjoyed the visit

Great place to learn about pioneering in Coachella Valley in the early 20th century. Cabot was a fascinating man-- explorer, artist, merchant, homesteader, local businessmen, friend to Native Americans, postmaster-- check out his home now a museum. Great gift shop.

A jewel in the desert built in 1913 from recycled materials. The museum is full of interesting things, gift shop amazing and the views are wonderful. Take the tour.

This is a very fun museum. Interesting, with a lot of historically fascinating stuff. For several years, I lived walking distance uphill from Cabots and would occasionally come down and take it in. It never got old.

Very interesting with a history of an eclectic man who would have been fun to talk too. Definitely worth visiting.

Very intresting and fantastic experience.

Great tour, interesting guide.

Great tour! This is a really cool place.

Very interesting. Worth a visit. A hidden gem.

If you are in the Palm Springs/Desert Hot Springs area, definitely worth a stop. Besides being an interesting museum where you learn about the history of Desert Hot Springs & Cabot Yerxa, the museum has a wonderful gift shop--beautiful crafts.

Interesting historical place, however needs to be marketed better, not necessary to have guided tours..
