Perfect Getaway Spot

It was a great place to stay. I was very impressed with how fresh and clean the sheets and towels were. It's hard to find clean places, and this one was great! Such a beautiful backyard! We saw three deer.

Perfect Bucknell Base camp

The Barn is a well decorated and well stocked home in a residential neighborhood that’s just minutes from the University. With one enclosed bedroom and one open bedroom, plus couches, there is plenty of room for a group. The host was responsive and easy to work with. This is a great alternative to the standard hotels available in the area.

Awesome place to stay

Stay was very relaxing and the perfect place for dog to be. The Barn was very comfortable, clean and stocked with amenities. It is by far the top VRBO that we have stayed in. Hosts were very friendly and accommodating. We highly recommend this property. This was our second time staying here. Last time was 5 years ago and the owners have done an excellent job maintaining and updating the property.

We loved our stay at The Barn! It was clean, updated, and had everything we needed for the weekend (the pictures don't do it justice!). The backyard was a perfect place for our dog to get exercise.

The Barn

First, Tanya our host is Amazing. She was always available for us. We didn't lack anything in The Barn as it was completely furnished with everything we needed & more! The backyard was furnished with Deer every day & all day!! I want to highly recommend "The Barn " as it is very spacious, clean, and everything you could possibly need. The bedroom has a T.V. and it wasn't working very well but Tanya was there to replace it with another T.V. A very nice Setting & Comfortable! Tanya is a very Amazing host! I

About the host

Hosted by Tanya Dyroff

Host profile image
Hello, my name is Tanya. I have been retired for about 5 years now and managing this rental property is my retirement gig. I love gardening and being outside.

Why they chose this property

When we bought this property, the cottage was being used as a rental and we decided to give it a try. Here we are 10 years later. We love the neighborhood which is never absent of runners, bikers, walkers or dogs!

What makes this property unique

The cottage is a converted horse barn. The original barn door still welcomes guests.
