The Bird House comfortably sleeps 11 guests with a full kitchen and a private wooded setting just 10 minutes from Wequetonsing and downtown Harbor Springs.

Welcome to The Bird House

At Premium Stay Rentals, we believe luxury should feel warm—not intimidating. The Bird House is thoughtfully designed for families who want a beautiful space that actually works for real life.

Spacious gathering areas. Cozy corners. Calm wooded privacy. The kind of place where mornings start slow, kids laugh a little louder, and everyone feels at home.

As Harbor Springs vacation homes go, The Bird House is a different category — a private home that sleeps 11, 10 minutes from downtown, 7 from Nub’s Nob. Enough space that the group isn’t on top of each other. Close enough that nothing feels like a production to get to.
