We had a wonderful time here. The place had plenty of room for us to get our dogs out in the evenings when we got home from our day trips. The horses were great! Brian and Joan were fantastic hosts. The cabin is full of little details and the history behind it is fantastic. We loved sitting out on the front porch and taking in the scenery. Definitely recommend!

What a wonderful, quiet, and cozy cabin for a getaway! The ambiance was incredible! With it being in a valley surrounded by rocky hills and blanketed with pines and the ability to dim the gas lantern looking lights creates a mood and a coziness feeling that is indescribable. The hosts are fantastic and very easy to converse with. The ability to bring our dogs was a massive plus. I will be recommending to everyone I speak to about this outstanding spot.

Such a wonderful place!

The whole family instantly fell in love with the barnhouse. We were greeted by the owners upon arrival and had a wonderful chat about how the cabin was moved and rebuilt. There are very few options available for a family of four but this one fit the bill perfectly. The perfect word to describe the barnhouse is “quaint”. The decor of the cabin was wonderful and gave it a very homy feel. Everything was clean and operational. We brought our side by sides and had plenty of parking for the trailer, pickup and two UTVs. We are already planning our next stay at the barnhouse!!!!

loved it!

The barn house was amazing, the attention to detail with the restoration is awesome, the light fixtures are all so gorgeous as well. The check in process was easy peazy and Joan was there to give recommendations for places to eat! It was rainy on arrival so they had started the fireplace for us, even. Cabin was WELL STOCKED with almost anything you’d need from cooking utensils to games and reading material. This place was exactly as advertised more and a great spot to stay. In the mornings you could watch deer out below the ridge in the grass & there were several birds around as well. On the deck - multiple comfortable chairs to choose from to listen to the birds in the morning! (Ohh & coffee/coffee maker).

Home away from home

As soon as our family pulled up to the Barnhouse we felt at home. The barnhouse was amazing and the surrounding land is beautiful. The owners, Joan and Brian, were incredibly welcoming and the most genuine people. Their hospitality is second to none and made our stay very relaxed and enjoyable. Our three daughters loved their dog and two horses. They were very accommodating for our dog which was fun to watch him play with theirs. We are so happy we stayed at the Barnhouse and we are planning on returning again! This is a very special and unique place to stay. If you are looking for somewhere to make special memories, this is the place. Our family holds Joan and Brian in high regard.Nemo is a great location to stay as it is central to all the local attractions, parks, etc. There are plenty of local trails to discover in the immediate area.
