Our second annual Barnhouse reunion was every bit as nice as the first! This property cannot be beat in any way (and this high-praise comes from a seasoned VRBO guest... I've stayed in dozens of homes, and none can compete with this one). Not only is the structure beautiful and super-convenient for sleeping a large group, the setting is beautiful, the lake is wonderfully warm and sandy-bottomed with a very gradual slope out to the deep (lots of safe room for the littles to splash around), and the care the owners put into ensuring their guests want for nothing is unparalleled. We even had a day of thunderstorms and heavy rain, and my folks were just telling me that was their favorite part of the stay because it brought the whole family together in that beautiful open great room, listening to the rain on the roof, completing puzzles, watching old movies, and playing games. This is a treat for us every year, and I cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you so much, Ogden family, for sharing your special retreat with us!!
