Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 1969
Why the Owner Chose Kerhonkson
This property has been in our family since 1969. When our family bought the Barn it was literally a barn. All the renovations were done by our parents in the 1970s; our father is a carpenter and did all the work himself. We spent summers and weekends at the Barn growing up, and now bring our own children there! Antique stained glass windows have been installed in the lofted second floor, and were all salvaged from brownstones in Harlem and Park Slope in the 1970s and the huge fireplace was hand built by a local artist.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
We have been renting Blackberry Barn to guests on a short term basis for 3 years now and many people have made the Barn a part of their own traditions. We welcome you to come spend some time at the barn! Its a special spot and we are sure you'll leave relaxed and rejuvenated!

Christmas at Blackberry Barn

I surprised my boyfriend with a trip to Blackberry Barn for Christmas. We had a great time! Being from NYC, the barn felt like a totally different world. It was nice to trade in the usual Blackberry Bold for the Blackberry Barn for a few days. Unfortunately, it wasn't the right season to enjoy most of the activities. I wish we could have seen the horses, BBQ'd outside, played in the pond, explored the area more, etc. All of the local farms were closed for the season. However, we were perfectly happy to stay in and hang out by the fire. There were plenty of kitchen supplies to make some nice meals. The barn was super clean, but the water is a bit funky. It has a sulfur smell and some black sediment at times. But, if you stock up on bottled water like they suggest, it's not a big deal. There's a gas station/convenience store just down the road, so it's very easy to pick up basics at the last minute. We never let the record player stop spinning. Selection is very 70s-80s. Would have loved more Beatles, Stones, etc. Our dog loved having so much room to run outside, and even tried "ice skating" on the frozen pond. We would love to come back with friends in the warmer months to enjoy the activities. Although the 3 rooms are mostly separate, these are close quarters, so couples shouldn't expect much privacy time if sharing the barn with others. Overall had a great time and a pleasant interaction with the owners/caretakers. Go stay at the barn and relaaaxxxxx.

Had a great time mellowing out, reading, drinking boxed wine, listening to records and woodpeckers, and hiking around gorgeous Lake Minnewaska. Hope to return!

Had a very pleasant visit. Nice getaway from city life. Barn reminded me of my grandmother's house in New Hampshire back in the 80s. My kids enjoyed the vinyl collection- recent generation only knew CDs! Local folks were overall very pleasant. We came to relax and mission was accomplished!!!! I'm burning firewood as I write this and BBQing beef skirt from Kiernen Farms. I've loaded up on local vegis to take home....thanks for a great time.

Blackberry Barn's rustic charm shone through. We had delightful campfires, canoe tours, and fabulous al fresco dining under the maple tree. The vinyl rocks! It brought us back to the 70s and 80s. Thank you Blackberry Barn. Hope you see you again in the near future!

Relaxing and rustic barn, with the constant sound of the running stream and a bucolic backdrop and a week of complete ease. The movie selection spans 40 years and many genres. We had a rainy day of 60s and 70s: "The French Connection", "5 Easy Pieces" and "From Russia with Love", and an Almodovar fest of "Talk to Her" and "All About My Mother". Outdoors we enjoyed the adirondack chairs and bbq, and of course the magnificent minnewaska. We found the people here in nearby towns engaging and social and enjoyed lively conversations and general hospitality. The lovely setting, one very easy to get used to and feel at home. Just bring drinking water and bug spray! Mosquitos were the only bad encounter. Would definitely stay indefinitely, if only.....
