The barn was spacious, and conveniently located to family we were visiting. Hannah is a great host and responds quickly if needed. We especially appreciated the 3 bathrooms, all with showers and there appeared to be plenty of hot water as we never ran out, even when all 5 of us showered at the end of a long day. If you’re looking for a place that can comfortably accommodate a large group, the barn is what you’re looking for.

An excellent property for larger family gatherings as it will sleep many people. Very unique (restored bank barn) and full of interesting family history. Room to spread out both indoors and out. Private. Hosts were wonderful. Highly recommend if you are interested in a different and interesting experience!

Team Hardwood loved their stay at The Barn

This was a great place for our team to stay for a training camp. We have stayed here before in the Wylie XC ski races but this was the first time in the summer. We had great access to th Gatineau Park for training. The setup was perfect for our team. Very cozy and warm atmosphere. Great hosts. Looking forward to coming back again next year

Another great stay at Le Barn

My women's group had another great stay at Le Barn. We skied and hiked from the house. The house is clean and well stocked with all the necessities. It is the perfect location for large groups and family getaways, with plenty of room to spread out and make noise without bothering others in adjacent rooms. Hosts are great, with excellent communication. Great!!

A perfect place for family at Christmas

What an amazing place and the whole family said we couldn't have had a better place! Beds comfy, bathrooms plenty and perfect for bathers and those who prefer showers. Kitchen was amazing! We are a family of cooks and all agreed it was well appointed. The surrounding fields, rivers, and forests were perfect for little ones and serious hikers. Evenings in front of the fireplace (cocklestove from Germany) with books from the numerous bookshelves was absolutely wonderful. Thank you Hannah and John!

Excellent Place!

This place was the perfect set up for our family get together. We were able to have lunches at the house for thirteen of us with enough seating and dish-ware. We loved the history of the Barn and the character. Interesting books and beautiful artwork. Treasures from around the world in every room. It felt like home! Highly recommend this place for a family gathering. John and Hannah also responded quickly to any communications we had .
