Welcome to Casa Tierra, exclusively managed by TRAVLR Vacation Homes!

Every room, every detail, hand-selected by Emmy Award-winning television host and designer Bobby Berk. 7 bedrooms across a main hacienda and two casitas. Pool, hot tub, sauna, cold plunge, pickleball, bocce, theater room, and a 1,800 sq ft event deck on 3 private acres. Walk-to dining and shopping, 30 minutes to Coachella and Stagecoach grounds, an hour to Joshua Tree.

The space
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 renovated top to bottom. Whether you're here for a milestone birthday, a family reunion, a wellness weekend, a wedding adjacent stay, or a creative offsite, the place was built to host all of it.

I can't wait to welcome you.

Lives in Los Angeles, California
Hi there! I’m Bobby Berk, interior designer, entrepreneur, TV personality, and most recently, Host. I’ve had the great privilege of sharing my craft and passion for design with people across the world, creating meaningful spaces that make for happy homes and happy lives. I’m excited to continue this journey through Hosting and welcoming guests into my newly-renovated Palm Desert home, where I hope to spark inspiration for upcoming design projects, while also showcasing just how easy (and rewarding) becoming a Host can be.
