The space
Feel like the king or queen of your castle while you stay at the very top of this spacious loft. The Honey barn has a history as unique as the space. There is an elevator you will see where you are staying, but its for looks only. This historically reformed building has a past as an actual honey processing location and also as a hostel to weary travelers at one point in time, thus the unique bathroom layout of 3 doors, 2 with a toilet and one that holds a shower. Organic non toxic queen savvy rest latex pillow top mattress for your safety and comfort. Organic highly rated towels also available for your use.
Guest access
Personal key code issued to guests before arrival. Self check in. Keep ascending the stairs to the top. There is also a small deck. If you need to do laundry during your stay, you will go all the way down the stairs to the basement, where you will find a washer and dryer for your convenience... and also a built in workout as you make your way down and back up again.
Other things to note
If stairs or heights are not your thing, then this charming place would be best suited for others. If you are claustrophobic, then you will love the space! WiFi available and Roku and Amazon Prime for other shows.

What makes this property unique
This property used to be an active working honey barn and then a hostel later. We have tried to preserve as much of the honey barn history as possible.
