About this property
Cozy barn nestled on a 5-acre hobby farm, just 15 minutes from Purdue
Have you ever wanted to wake up on a farm with horses just out the back door or collect fresh farm eggs for breakfast? When you stay at The Barn at the Funky Chicken Farm, you can get just that! We love sharing our love of hobby farming with others and will show you the ropes if you are interested. If not, no worries! There is a huge covered porch where you can sip your morning coffee and watch from afar. A fire pit is located just off the barn where you can sit and enjoy the sounds of the country. In the winter, you will be able to curl up on the sofa while the wood burning stove heats the main areas of the barn. It’s time to sit back, relax and enjoy what country living can do for your soul!

About the host
Hosted by Melissa
I grew up just outside of Indianapolis and came to Purdue in 1999 to attend college. I never left! I’ve lived in a few different places throughout the county but something was always missing. In October 2021, I came across this property and fell in love with it.
The opportunity to host came about after we built our home. We moved out of the barn and into our home in February 2023. It was then we renovated and updated a few things in the barn to make it more functional for family and friends. We enjoy sharing our property and the serene atmosphere with others who just want a nice, relaxing getaway.
My fiancée and I have 3 girls between the 2 of us so giving them a simpler life was important for us. We want to instill the love of nature and hard work to reach their dreams. The oldest enjoys sharing her knowledge of horses and will bring her Quarter horse out for an up close meet & greet.
Our day jobs differ from our home life. I am a special education teacher at a local elementary school and my fiancee runs a lawn care business out of the garage in the barn. When we are home, you will find us working our horses, tending to the chickens and ducks as well as continuing to turn the property into our dream home.

Why they chose this property
Situated on the southwest end of Tippecanoe county, we are close to everything but just far enough away that you may think twice about leaving. The neighborhood is quiet and tucked away between wood areas and farm fields.
We love being able to be outside and the privacy the neighborhood provides between homes.

What makes this property unique
Our property offers the unique experience of hobby farm living. Whether you want to sit and just enjoy the atmosphere or jump in and help, we can make that happen. Our guests have the opportunity to learn basics in equine care and groundwork to keep our horses happy and healthy. When you stay on our property, you can help feed the chickens as well as collect eggs.
