The Bird's Nest founder & tiny dweller, Robyn, developed the village as a way to financially support herself during retirement, and she plans to keep it permanently affordable. It's organically grown into a fun, supportive, gated community of women who are living their best lives together! Men are welcome, too.😉 Enjoy a community tour, a tour of an Incredibox full-time tiny house rental (now available!) & a bunkhouse travel trailer home! 👉 *Tour Cheryl's cute tiny house at the village:* ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KbV_xgkXv8M.htmlsi=bIGMLnXo68K5oKNC
When I lived in a traditional house, taxes and HOA fees were always going up. I’m a retired teacher so I really appreciate that, at The Bird’s Nest, I know what my rent will be. Big sigh 😌 of relief.
I have seen this woman before talking about her park. I would love to this. This is built by Randy Jones of incredible tiny homes. He dropped in to sees a woman who had built her own tiny at a workshop. This lady fell in love with it. Real tiny homes.
I love this. I’m a single mom with a special needs daughter. I don’t have a lot of money and I would love to live somewhere like this. We need more affordable housing
@@TinyHouseExpedition tell the owner/landlord about the swimming pool, she can buy a giant rubberized round 5 foot deep animal water trough and sink it in the ground part way or deeper add pumps, pool filters for a couple of thousand and it will last so much longer than a store prefab above ground pool. 😊
This is just the BEST tiny home video. A group of great ladies, who r all there for each other, a landlord who is kind and generous! Has a gated area, pets, community center, fire pit gathering! My favorite part, is the young lady & son who are now living in safety and learning about how much they r cared about and included. It was so heartwarming watching her son have his kitten, helping with firewood, learning to drive the big mower. Getting to do things and have things in their so much better lives now since they have escaped from a violent life. She’s getting a wealth of knowledge and support from this wonderful community she is now a part of. 😊♥️♥️♥️

This is a great place. In the past few decades, we've grown away from maintaining a sense of community, where everyone helps and supports everyone else, and it's been to our detriment. I hope more places like The Bird's Nest come into being. We need them.
Absolutely perfect! We need more people thinking like this! So many women that stayed home to raise kids and find themselves alone and some less than $1,000 o month NEED a safe place to grow old with other people that understand. Great job! Great video!
@@cherylhuff1914 Chery, I LOVE the no drama ....the fear of drama has held me back with networking in community ...i love the safe space and supportiveness you ladies are creating for one another. bless each of you fpr your commitment to yourself, and to eachother..we are all better, together : )
Robyn, you have created a real-life "Golden Girls" supportive community. It takes hard work and dedication, not to mention money to create a safe haven. Times are tough and life can be hard on all of us. I love what you have created and the plans you have to improve it all even more. If I lived there I'd be gardening and landscaping 24/7. You have the perfect place to create different gardens. Get some shade trees, flowering trees, scented trees, flowers and bushes. Design a day or night-scented blooming garden (or a Moon Garden) to escape the Texas heat - maybe around or on the way to your firepit area to start. Build a waterfall or set up a birdbath or two, and surround it with herbs for cooking, tea and for your health. I saw another video with your tenant who is into permaculture. Organic food but only whatever you actually like to eat, fruits, nuts, veggies and flowers everywhere. Every paradise requires critters, splashing water, pretty flowers, and (edible) greenery. Good luck to you and all the ladies (and the men that might join) may you thrive and prosper - it looks like you are already living your best life. Thx for the tour, I hope the people who need you most will find you through this video. More power to you!
Yes , it looks a great community , but needs more landscaping for a better outlook . Safety is so important for a woman . I hope you get more women with kids to live there .
@@thebirdsnest2157 I love everything you've done and I would love to live there, but the East Coast has my heart. Would you be willing to discuss with me the process it took to get this done? This is exactly what I would like to do and I have access to the funds, but sadly no know how. I would really like to know how much those pads with hook ups run, so I can have an idea of how big I can go. Thanks.
Oh yeah, well who built that deck who built that tiny house who built the things around for them to have who hooked up their electricity? That’s right it was men. Stfu
The Bird's Nest community is a great place for women to live in a secured environment with low rent, places to congregate and socialize, and within driving distance of 3 towns. They all seemed like fun and interesting women who make great neighbors. I wish we had a place like that in Seattle, WA! I rent a studio for $1260/month. I'm still working at 70 because the cost of living is so high. I was born and raised in Houston and attended UT/Austin too, but have lived in the Pacific NW for 43 years. Your tiny house community sounds wonderful and thanks for sharing. Jenny ❤
Tornadoes are the first thing people ask me about when they find out I live in a tiny house on wheels. I’ve been in storm shelters a few times both here and at Tiny Lots on the Prairie. I bring a thermos of tea and a headlamp so I can knit while we wait.
Now this is EXACTLY what I've wanted to do.❤❤❤❤❤ WOMEN ONLY!!! I really think you should keep it as women, I hope that you do, not a man hater either, but as one ages I think I would rather be around just women because of the many factors that other women can provide. Once I've gotten my perfectly designed artsy tiny, I hope that you'll still have availability. I also see you bought an incred box from ITH, & heard a woody tiny is coming, great builds RJ does. You might mention to Haley they have an incredibox special right now & that I could get her an additional 500.00 off. Then she'd have a solid decade lasting well insulated home paid off, if she sold her Rv. I noticed your quite handy as well with tools & such❤
I love that she built a home for people who can't afford a home! $700 is decent. For me, I'm very low income, and my mortgage is $427.00. I'd love to do this, having a community
This community idea is so wonderful, and very much needed in so many places where women find themselves on their own and need a place of their own but also to be surrounded by a safe community. I hope to see this in Australia someday.
Women empowering women. Way to go, Robyn. I, too am a senior and dream of creating a community like this where I live in Canada. I am so happy to see more and more of these communities popping up. It is a sustainable way of living, it can create automatic community, reduce our overall footprint, we share tools - together everybody has more. This is the way of the future, and municipalities need to get out of the way and make room for places like this. It is a great way for people of all ages to come together and share their lives. I love that the young lad is being empowered, too! Very inspiring! Thanks Robyn! Alexis and Christian for featuring The Bird's Nest - for all the birds and chicks! LoL!
Definitely this was an inspiration! I love the idea that they share and help each other. They all have their own space but, friends all around. God Bless you Robyn, and your elf ears too!
This video made me smile so much. What a wonderful soul the owner is and the community of women are wonderful. I always say there are Earth Angels and this lady with her pixie ears is one ❤
❤❤❤❤😁😁😁 Now this is another tour of tinyies I Loved Lived! All the Queens are Beautiful Inside and Out plus a Young Handsome King To Glean from all ages including his Wonderful Mom! So happy they all are enjoying Life to the Fullest! Beautiful Property And Environment! Women's Empowement Is Awesome! Tyfs Team TE❤💯😁👸🏻🤴🏻 God's Blessings to All of You!
OMGOSH!!! This is so cool. I live in a 55+ apartment complex. When I first moved in rent was affordable. The next year they offered it to me at the same price. Lease was coming up and they went up 133.00, but my SS I’d go up to match it. I love the fact that it is a small community and rent is reasonable. I am saving this for the future.
I’m a retired teacher. It took 18 years to pass a 4% cost of living adjustment. (My COLA was 1%. 🫤) I couldn’t make it if it wasn’t for The Bird’s Nest.
I like it because it in Texas. That’s where I want to stay. Moved for about 2 years to New Mexico when I divorced. Came back to Texas in 2013. Not the same here where I’m at. I want to stay in Texas. But not able to move just yet. My parents are 2.5 miles away and my daughter is still here. Don’t want to leave them. Some day I’ll be there.

This is such a such a great community. The owner has made it including people, affordable and safe. She makes money for retirement without price goughing if only all property owners were like her. Thinking of all the mobile home parks.
What great tiny home community. Respect to Robyn for balancing her financial needs with those who need lower lot prices and not settling high lot rent because everyone else is. Even more respect for creating a safe and empowering place to live! Thanks for the tour!
This is so close to what I keep picturing wanting to do. I like the idea of an all-women community but would like it to be permanent structures that are a little larger and on small lots. I would love for it to be a place where older creative people could live together affordably. Thanks for showing us your world!
What a lovely community to call home. This is well done. I've heard of bigger, manufactured double-wide homes with real streets and driveways, but the rent and mortgages are too high and could price people out any any time. Affordability this way, for any single person to start up herself, offers more than the basic home, but a special community well thought out.
Great video! Very inspiring! I would LOVE to see little communities like this pop up everywhere! And be a little regulated so you know who lives there and rent is realistic. Love that this is gated too!
I am living in the wrong country, Robyn What an epic tiny house community love that they will fasten down your tiny , The more I watch these the more I want a tiny home , Not that i live in a huge house but bills are costly .The incredibox Id need more windows and lighter shade on walls. I agree what she said about the bed against the back wall, It would be less cramped. Great price to rent a space . Community centre oh ya very nice. excellent place to live, Watching from Ontario Canada .
This is what most Middle aged women want now... a communal living situation with personal space, safety and good friends! Would be ideal to have a little storage shed on each site. We need these in every state!
Just beautiful! This is the needy future to deal with the tsunami of coming women who choosed not to have children/family, but wanted to have a lifestyle without a family!
Nicely done. This is my retirement goal. I've been talking to single women I know of retirement age and many are interested in this. The issue is where to live. I currently in Missouri where the weather goes from one extreme to the other DAILY. I, personally, want to be somewhere moderate year-round. I'm getting too old to shovel snow and my arthritis is over the extreme cold.
As a Social Worker I am encouraged to see this thoughtful community resource. I have worked with beautiful senior women and men that struggle to live with dignity. Praise God that you answered a need.
This place is my cup of tea. I would fit right in. I am 64 with a 5 year old well behave and friendly Labrador. I can garden, work with tools, great at crafting, interior designing & decorating and my husband is always traveling very rarely home but when he is he’s super helpful building stuff. I wish I can live here. 🥰
Bless you!! I'm always encouraged when I see a vision I've held so long come to fruit. Blessing you from California in appreciation for your Granny Village🎉
@@cherylhuff1914 please ask Christian and Alexis to do a video on how she got it all set up, what it took, what were the setbacks, what have beent he joys. how was the planning committee ...how was the networking accomplished ...how the community is promoted to attract folks ....i think a video like that would be INSPIRING ....and could potentially prompt others to bravely follow in her footsteps...which would be awesome for them...but also awesome for the folks that could benefit as well... please do put that foreward as Chritian and Alexis said they would like to film more footage there again in the future. also loved that they featured the stories and lived experiences of more than one resident ...and I love the turkey ...bet you didnt picture that turkey when you imagined your retirement : ) xo from Vancouver BC ...from Leslie and Hamza
Total game changer would be secondary shade awnings built over the tiny homes. Will make a huge difference with the summer sun. Build it at an angle so any rain water drains into garden irrigation. The shade structure can also have pull-down fabric shade for when the setting sun is cooking the house. Vine plants and twinkle lights can be added to the shade structure pillars. Paint the top of the shade structure in reflective white paint. Everyone would save money on air conditioning and it would help protect their homes from sun damage.
Oh how I love this. Wish back years ago I could have found something like this. I left a very bad situation when I was 42 and went to driving a truck. I now have a wonderful husband and we have been married 9 years this July. I will be 70 next month . God Bless you all
This community resonates with me as a soon to be retired single divorced woman. When I go on my next trip to Texas, I would love to come by and Say Hi! God bless you all!
I love this, can make a family with other people, its sage snd secure and just beautiful. I love shes also trying to keep the price as fair a possible. If i lived in america would 100% move there maybe 1 day ❤
I absolutely love this idea and the lady that owns it is a saving grace to these women. I’ve always wanted to set something like this up for battered women to help them feel secure and at peace
@@TinyHouseExpedition yes....would love footage of the pool and them getting to enjoy their safety and liberty with eachother in the sun ...even if they sent you photos...a slide show featuring the awesome group of them in their new pool : )
I’m so impressed with this community! I’m recently widowed after 45 years and I would love to use my property like this to empower women who through no fault of their own are at reduced housing options. TYnfor showcasing these tiny house dwellers.
The biggest issue is local beurocracy. Is it a house, (needs to meet local requirements for a dwelling)is it a caravan, then needs to meet 6 monthly inspections for road worthiness and be registered. Then how many dwellings are permitted to be built on your property. How do you meet local body rates? It is amazing how many road blocks can be put in your way to prevent reasoably price housing. Well done.
What a fantastic idea ! I love how this place is for Women my age looking for a simple way of life . I’m so interested in learning more . The owner is an Angel !
I am so impressed by this Lady who set up this Tiny Home Village. What a great idea and a great thing to do for other Women, Not to many people around would take a lesser rent because they don’t need more money. Thank you for sharing your life and principles with us.
I am sometimes guilty of skipping thru but not this one . I stopped what i was doing and watched the whole time . I throughly enjoyed , the people , tiny homes and message .
Oh my goodness, no price gouging, and no drama - sounds like a dream to me. Bless you Robyn for thinking of others and spreading gratitude! If I manage to sell my house up here in the Northeast you can be sure I will reach out to you 💖
I would love to be able to do this here in Australia. tiny living is an amazing this and when you have the right people together you can do so so much. and to be in a female community where everyone helps one another is amazing.
