About this property

Private Barndo Retreat for Groups - Indoor Pickleball, Hoops, Hot Tub, Near Lake

Gather Your Favorite People and Escape to The Barndo Retreat at Stone Lake:

A private, boutique-luxury barndominium where modern design meets the peace of nature. Set on 2 secluded acres just 3 minutes from Stone Lake, this spacious retreat sleeps up to 18 and delivers year-round fun with a heated indoor Sports Barn, hot tub under the stars, and inviting spaces designed for connection.

Perfect for family reunions, wedding weekends, Notre Dame game days, golf trips, wine tours, ski getaways, and group retreats — The Barndo is where play, rest, and memory-making come together.

Easy Lake Life — Just Minutes Away:

Guests love how simple and accessible lake days are at Stone Lake.

Just 3 minutes away, the newly improved public beach, pier, and boardwalk offer a welcoming, family-friendly lake experience — no boat required.

Spend the day swimming from the sandy beach, walking the pier, or enjoying sunset views along the boardwalk. Seasonal kayak, paddleboard, and pedal-boat rentals make getting on the water effortless.

For those bringing a boat, the public launch is nearby — but many guests find everything they need for a full lake day is already right here.

Enjoy the lake at your own pace, then return to your private retreat, hot tub, and open space to unwind.

• Half-court basketball
• Pickleball court (a guest favorite)
• Volleyball setup
• Ping pong, cornhole, and family games

Rain, snow, or late-night energy — the fun doesn’t stop here.

• Evenings by the fire pit
• Wildlife sightings including deer and foxes
• Stargazing from the hot tub

About the host

Hosted by Alysa

Host profile image
We’re from the Midwest and love all things adventure, lake life, family time, and creating spaces that bring people together. Hosting allows us to share the kind of experiences we value most - unplugged fun, connection, and a little adventure. It brings us so much joy to know our guests are making memories at The Barndo Retreat!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this neighborhood because it offers the best of both worlds—peaceful, private seclusion surrounded by nature and wildlife, yet just minutes from Stone Lake and a short drive to the University of Notre Dame. It truly feels like a hidden retreat, where you can relax and unplug, while still being close to everything. Plus, we’re excited about all the beautiful revitalization happening in Cass—there’s a real sense of community and growth here that made it an easy choice for us.

What makes this property unique

The Barndo Retreat at Stone Lake stands out because it’s more than a stay—it’s an experience. Nestled on nearly 2 private acres with lake access just 3 minutes away, this one-of-a-kind retreat blends the charm of a modern barn-style home with high-end amenities designed for families, friend groups, and retreats.

Inside, guests can enjoy an indoor sports barn complete with basketball and pickleball courts, a dry bar for entertaining, and a private indoor therapeutic hot tub with a soothing fountain and LED lights. Outside, you’ll find lawn games, a golf cart for cruising around, and peaceful views of nature and wildlife that make you feel worlds away—yet you’re just 1 hour from Chicago, 1.5 hours from Grand Rapids, and under 2 hours from Kalamazoo.

It’s dog-friendly, kid-approved, and thoughtfully designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and make lifelong memories—whether you’re here for a reunion, wellness getaway, or simply a reset.
