This one-of-a-kind 1940s house has been kept in the extended family since the original build, growing in size as the family did. After being passed down through the family, it is now owned by the 3rd generation. Renovations have been made to modernize and update the home to provide the ultimate retreat that's comfortable, yet still maintains that 1940's charm.
The house has plenty of sleeping accommodations for large families or families traveling together. There are 2 bedrooms on the main level, one with a king and one with a queen, each with their own ensuite.. Downstairs off the kitchen is a mini eat-in-kitchen, a new game room, a queen bed and a bathroom. Upstairs is a very large bedroom with 4 twin beds, great for all the kids, with it's own ensuite and dressing area. Another king bedroom and queen bedroom and two more bathrooms complete the upstairs area. Each bedroom has its own TV, including 5 smart TVs, and a private bathroom in each. The house will comfortably accommodate all of your guests and the kitchen is fully stocked for creating memorable family gatherings and new holiday traditions! With two separate interior living spaces, one group can sit by the fire while the other enjoys a movie on the smart TV. In addition to the interior fireplace, the porch has a propane fire feature surrounded by 4 comfortable chairs. If you venture into the yard, you’ll find the fire pit, perfect for making s’mores. The porch also has a propane grill and a Traeger for outdoor cooking and dining al fresco.
While tucked away on its own private 2 acres on country club grounds, the home is almost walking distance to downtown. This house is perfect for large family gatherings, weddings, work trips, couples trips, or just a private get away.

We were in Highlands for a wedding and really enjoyed staying in The Bird Coop. Plenty of room for everyone, located close to the wedding venue and other local attractions.
Would highly recommend for anyone in town for an event or just a visit.

The bird coop was amazing!! Everything was clean and organized! They left plenty of toiletries for everyone which was so nice and helpful! The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room for the 12 of us staying there! We were a wedding party and we were so close to every where we needed to be throughout the weekend! Thank you Bird Coop for a lovely weekend!!!

This property is a really cute little house right close to town. It's very large, 3 levels in all, with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. Plenty of eating and hanging out space. The home is older, so it's a quaint feel. The home has TONS of DVDs, outdoor play space, inside and outside games and is a great location for a large group. In the winter, I could see where it could be challenging to get up the driveway if there was any ice on the roads. In the summer, you will need to bring fans with you, as the upstairs bedrooms are uncomfortably warm. Even with the outdoor temps in the mid 60s in the overnight and early morning, the home can feel very humid. I think with small box fans you would be mostly comfortable.
We had a great stay, the kitchen is very well stocked with spices, tons of dishes and pots/pans. They could use a knife set, as there aren't many knives. There is a large laundry set, which is very nice.

My family and I enjoyed our stay and the close proximity to the Highlands Country Club. The home is older but it is very spacious, charming and beautifully decorated. I was thrilled to discover a kitchenette with a large refrigerator on the first floor where I was able to keep and arrange flowers for my son’s rehearsal dinner. Loved “The Bird Coop”! :)

NICE PROPERTY, GREAT LOCATION, WELL STOCKED, BEAUTIFULLY FURNISHED AND COMFORTABLE.
A FEW ITEMS THEY MAY NEED TO ADDRESS-PROBABLY THE OWNER DOES NOT EVEN KNOW, HOUSEKEEPING SHOULD BRING TO THIER ATTENTION:
DISWASHER DID NOT DRAIN, ONLY ONE LIGHT BULB IN MASTER BATH-YOU KNOW THEY HAVE TO TURN ON LIGHTS TO CLEAN. WE RAN OUT OF HOT WATER, MAYBE NEED LARGER UNIT. IF ONLY 6 USED WATER, IT WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO ACCOMADATE 14. BUT OVERALL A VERY VERY NICE PROPERTY!!!
