The Bird House near Zion & Bryce

Hi, we're Jarad & Kristy A. Brinkerhoff. We live in beautiful Glendale, Utah. We have 4 kids (3 girls and 1 boy). We live on a small farm with chickens, peacocks, sheep, goats, dogs, and a Llama. By using things that are already made and could be repurposed. We wanted to have our kids involved in this project to help them learn new skills. So We decide to start doing the things we needed to repurpose the building. The Bird House is a tiny house so it was a great fit. We wanted to do something that could be useful and beautiful to others. We look forward to having others come and experience the joy The Bird House brings.

The idea for The Bird House came when there was a local sanctuary that had a bird aviary building that housed birds and they decide they needed a new and bigger building to meet their needs. So they were going to demolish it and we decided that we could pay to have the building moved to Kanab and we would fix it up and turn it into a vacation rental. As we were doing all this work by ourselves my husband Jarad had the idea to call it The Bird House since its original purpose was to house birds and the location that we put the house on had an old birdhouse where a pair of birds would raise their young every year. We felt like it was fitting the name for the vacation rental.
