About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Casa Tierra · Bobby Berk's Designed Desert Estate
Welcome to Casa Tierra, exclusively managed by TRAVLR Vacation Homes!
I designed this place to feel like a real escape. 3 private acres in the Cahuilla Hills above Palm Desert, with a main Spanish-style hacienda and two separate casitas tucked into the canyon. 7 bedrooms, sleeps 18 overnight, and enough outdoor space that a group of 16 never feels on top of each other.
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT The design. Every room was put together personally, from the furniture down to the artwork and the small ceramic details. If you' ve ever wanted to see how I think about layering texture, color, and light in a real home, this is that.
The amenities. Pool and hot tub. Sauna and cold plunge for recovery. Private pickleball court. Bocce. Two outdoor bars. A 1,800 square foot event deck overlooking the canyon, perfect for sunset dinners or morning yoga. Fire pit. Canyon stairs that climb up into the hills behind the property. A full theater room inside. Designated yoga and meditation areas across the grounds.
The location. 5 minutes to El Paseo for shopping and dinner. 15 minutes to Indian Wells. 30 minutes to the Empire Polo Fields for Coachella and Stagecoach. 40 minutes to Palm Springs and PSP airport. Just under an hour to Joshua Tree National Park.
The privacy. The property sits on 3 acres at the end of a quiet road. You'll hear birds and wind, not neighbors. Casa Tierra is established 2022 and was recently renovate

Another AMAZING time at Casa Tierra
This is the second time we have stayed at Casa Tierra. The whole property is so thoughtful and relaxing, we learned from our last trip and did not plan as many activities out so that we could enjoy all of the wonderful amenities in! The host team goes above and beyond to ensure you have a seamless stay, and I can only dream of the next trip we take to the desert and once again getting to experience the tranquil retreat that is Casa Tierra! 10 out of 5 stars!
