Short Family Vacation Get-Away

Overall rating is 5: Location; friendliness, helpfulness and availability of host; peacefullness of location; dog-friendly; multiple bedrooms and large dining table; near restuarants, hiking/walks, Gilette Castle, Hammonasset Beach State Park; and more. There are stairs to get to all bedrooms, larger common area and to the smailler common area.. There are also stairs (but just maybe 5-6) from the entry way up to the kitchen/dining area. Spiral stairs lead up to 3 bedrooms (plus full bathroom) on the topmost level). Middle level has two bedrooms (with a full bathroom off the large ("Master") bedroom; lowest level (smaller common area has sofa that one person could sleep on. There is a half bath adjacent to the Kitchen. We gave the hosts 4 stars for communication and check-in process, because of some issues getting ahold of them on the day of check-in and VRBO had 4 pm as check-in time but host said it was 5 pm. Glitch but definitely not a major ding and we would recommend this unique and beautiful location for a short or longer stay.

A stop in the woods

We came for a wedding and brought our dogs. The property was the perfect place to have them. Removed and secluded from the road we were able to walk clearly marked and maintained trails and enjoyed quiet mornings and evenings with the pups. An eclectic house was interesting to stay in and be a part of and made you want to explore everything the property had to offer. If you’re looking for a hotel stay at a hotel this one might be for those with a more adventurous and bohemian side. Enjoyed our stay and the quick drives to small towns in the area with gems for food and time to spend out.

Peace barn vacation

Awesome, large property for my son, daughter-in-law, their baby and dog, my husband, dog and I. We hosted 2 outside family group visits. Peace barn was beautifully ecclectic and comfy. The 13 acres was perfec5 for nature walks with small children and lots of great space for the dogs. Loved it!

Not what we expected

The grounds were beautiful Everything else for me and my family’ was awful and should not be rented as a vrbo. Lots of bugs. The upstairs bathroom had no water pressure or hot water. The upstairs bedroom window and screen were duct taped shut. The kitchen was a mishmash of things that didn’t work. The house did smell of mold. The only thing this property has to offer is the lake and the land the lodging was terrible and not at all comfortable. And the lights were terrible, if you could even find the light switches that worked. The whole place was very dark, dingy and damp.with lots of areas one could injure themselves. Not sure how to go about requesting a refund.... the only thing that worked for us was having 4 bedrooms that had very uncomfortable beds. It makes me wonder if there’s an approval process from vrbo? If so, they need to up their standards big time Never again Cindy

The Peace Barn is a very rustic setting and it is well defined in our descriptions. We are sorry that the guest feels this way, however we have had such great feedback about the vibe and peacefulness of our property, we intend to attract visitors that enjoy this type of setting.
