The Bird Coop is a lovely older home, but was very clean and comfortable for our group. Loved the location, quick drive to downtown. Great fireplace! Enough room for a big group to spread out.

The Bird Coop was great for our Highlands adventure with our adult kids and grandson. The location was really nice and we very much enjoyed long walks in the beautiful neighborhood. Highlands is a magical place.
This was a great house to stay in. Lots of amenities to cook with and great set up close to downtown but far enough away to avoid the traffic.
Love the Bird Coop
