• Our History
• In the early 1900s, Barn Swallow Manor began its life as a sturdy dairy barn and horse stable, standing watch over the rolling fields and quiet creek. A century later, in 2008–2009, it was lovingly transformed into a welcoming country retreat, with a thoughtful refresh in 2022. While preserving the barn’s rustic character, we infused the interior with mid-century modern design and original pieces personally curated to reflect the beauty and simplicity of that era. The result is a space that feels both timeless and inviting — a place where history, style, and comfort come together to welcome families, friends, and travelers seeking peace and room to breathe.
