Palm Desert, California
The “Birdcage” is a cozy, rustic cabin with breathtaking views of the Coachella Valley. Sited high atop the Cahuilla Hills (adjacent to Bighorn Golf Club) and enveloped by the Santa Rosa Mountains, it is only 2 miles from downtown Palm Desert.
My aunt and uncle homesteaded this land in 1948 and built the cabin, affectionately known as 'The Bird Cage'. Frequented by movie stars in the 1950s who valued its privacy, it's one of the last homesteads in our area.
The Birdcage has one bedroom with a new queen-sized bed, a bathroom with a good size shower, and a living/dining/kitchen room — all with beautiful views. The large patio is perfect for drinking morning coffee while the sun rises over the mountains, gazing at hawks soaring overhead during the day, or watching the Valley below transition from gold to pink as the sun sets behind you. And at night, the sky holds a canopy of twinkling stars.
With its proximity to nature, The Birdcage captures the ambiance of life in the Wild West, yet the restaurants and world-class shopping on El Paseo (the Rodeo Drive of the desert) are just a 5-minute drive down the hill. Sublime and safe, the entrance to the property is secured by electronic gates and flanked by a beautiful stand of date palms.

Amazing getaway for a great weekend! Very peaceful with amazing views, especially at night. Felt very safe and close to everything you should need. Thank you, Birdcage!
Charming homestead cabin high on the hill. Marvelous view, quiet, remote cabin within minutes of downtown Palm Desert.
This is the second time we've stayed at Ann's place, The Birdcage. We love this quirky, unique cabin and it's just perfect for two. But... our favorite part is the 360 degree views where you can watch the sun rise over the mountains in the morning and the sun retreat behind the mountains in the evening. It's location is convenient and at the end of the day it was so nice to return to this little slice of heaven. Thank you for hosting us Ann!
Terrific views, good weather, proximity to Palms to Pines, Joshua Tree, Anza Borrego, the Palm Springs strip, Coachella, Salton Sea. Privacy, good host, great place to spend some time in the winter.
The views were great. It was private and quiet, charming and cozy!
Easy communication. Great location. Rustic and simple cabin in the desert, close to the heart of Palm Desert. Coffee at sunrise with stunning views was a highlight of our stay.
This home is full of family history and you feel the peace and tranquility as you sit and enjoy the endless views.
This is a wonderful place to stay during your time in Palm Desert. It is perfectly located close to town. The property itself is extremely comfortable with a strong shower and functional layout. The outdoor space is equally well laid out and provides additional space. A great place to get away and relax. Communication with hosts was easy. Don’t hesitate to stay here. We are definitely planning a return trip!
This is a charming, cozy, simple cabin with wonderfully expansive views - of the sunrises, the valley, the foothills/mountain ridges, the moonlit nights. We ate breakfasts and dinners on the patio and were out and about during the days. Very good hiking trails up the road. Fresh eggs were a bonus. Thanks!
Little 75-year old house that is superbly well stocked with all the necessities and much more that made our stay very pleasurable. Lots of love and history throughout. Very well stocked with every possible need, something that is unusual these days. We just needed to bring fresh food and nothing else. View is superb and having the patio area with fireplace, grill, tables and chairs was very welcome for the evenings. Excellent communication, detailed directions, easy to check in and out.
