About the property

The Birdhouse was designed to be a destination in itself—a private desert retreat just minutes from Joshua Tree National Park. Blending 1960s & 1970s inspired style with the natural beauty of the high desert, this one-of-a-kind property offers the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure. Spend your days by the pool and hot tub, enjoying pickleball, grilling, stunning sunsets, a fire pit under the stars and views of the Milky Way. You'll look forward to returning home after every adventure.

The Birdhouse delivers a truly unique Joshua Tree experience. Featuring high-design interiors created by one of HGTV's leading designers, the home combines retro-inspired character with modern luxury.

The living room features an oversized plush sectional and a smart television cleverly concealed within a custom vintage-inspired cabinet, creating the perfect setting for movie nights. The stylish kitchen is fully equipped with Viking appliances, cookware, utensils, spices, oils, and everything needed to prepare memorable meals.

Each sleeping area is furnished with exceptionally comfortable memory-foam mattresses. Bathrooms feature luxury rain shower heads and boutique hotel-quality shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.

The Game Room bunkhouse includes a regulation pool table, two large-screen televisions, a record player with an eclectic vinyl collection, and a variety of board games for guests of all ages.


The true centerpiece of the property is the expansive backyard oasis. The privacy fence fully encloses the outdoor space and features a custom Mod Pool swimming pool with viewing window, a six-person hot tub, pickleball court, cornhole toss, gas firepit, gas grill, and multiple dining and lounging areas. It is the perfect place to relax while taking in panoramic desert views and unforgettable night skies.

Host was quick to respond for needs! House is beautiful as described. The house is equipped with camera’s by car parking which I loved made me feel extra safe knowing it was on camera 24/7. Smart house - literally! Perfect stay for a family and super fun things to do if you want to stay at the property only! Highly recommend!!! Also, the bathroom toilet seats were heated haha super cool!!

Overall, we had a good stay at The Birdhouse. The environment is peaceful, and the star gazing is absolutely amazing. The house is well kept. It’s close to town without being too close to town. Only challenge for us is that the house is so “smart” that nothing worked. There is a million remotes for the TV’s, the window shades, the lights, etc. We had multiple issues with them either not working at all, or needing to be charged. They sent someone out to help which was nice, but we spent the first half of our trip managing the various issues and then just dealt with things not working and tried to enjoy our time there. They were responsive and they did try and fix the various challenges. All in all, the stay was okay.
