The Barn is stunning. Incredible design, layout, quality, setting, view, etc. This house is fully equipped with everything you need. Just stop at the grocery store and you’re all set. It is so tranquil. The pool and patio room are awesome. We had a great time and stay.
This house was everything and more. From the great location to the fully stocked kitchen and bathrooms, this house was the perfect place for my friends and I to relax and unwind with no worries. Highly recommend this house for your next vacation.

The house had everything to relax with family and friends for my 50th birthday. We cooked/dined in for most meals and the 10 person dinner table was ideal for our group. The kids used the heated pool several times (84 degrees). We used the fire pit one evening for s’mores and walked to the nearby treehouse to take in a star filled night sky. Everyone was perfect.

Jeff, thank you for your 5-star review! It was a pleasure hosting you and your family at The Barn! We are happy to hear you enjoyed your 50th birthday party, we hope to host you all again soon!
My family of 11 stayed here to celebrate my parents 50th wedding anniversary! We comfortably stayed here under one roof...there was plenty of space. The house is gorgeous! The pictures are accurate, we were not disappointed with anything! The bedrooms were super comfortable, the bathrooms were amazing and very clean. The kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed cooking dinners, swimming in the pool, playing family games at the large dining room table, biking around the neighborhood, etc. I was blown away with the attention to detail this home was built with. The architecture is truly stunning and I was so impressed. It was sad leaving this property, but we leave with so many wonderful memories! I highly recommend this property!

Communication with the host was very easy and was very prompt which we appreciated. The pool was clean. The house was as it was shown we would have liked it to have been a little bit more clean in the master bedroom upstairs and laying in bed at night with the side lights on the wall walls were covered in dust and cobwebs, and the basket that were on the walls for decoration were also covered in cobwebs. We found three alive mouse sized like cockroaches, which I understand is somewhat to be expected because it's in the woods. It was difficult to shower in the master bedroom because there were no curtains or tinted windows. Anybody was able to look in on us when showering or taking morning walks so we had to time those accordingly overall, it was still a good experience, despite our family emergency, which we had to leave early.
Home is absolutely beautiful, smooth, easy process. super helpful with special arrangements reservations and accommodations. We will be back for sure. Thank you.
