The Space
Rustic Chic rebuilt 1920's hay barn. Respecting the original space and vernacular, the two floors are open lofts. Great for Artist, writer or photographer. The two floors are completely open, so a large group or two couples should be comfortable sharing space. The circular driveway lined with Apple Trees leads to a large stone entrance patio and ground floor entrance with large kitchen island with 4 gas burner stove, a large stainless sink and countertop, double oven, microwave. and refrigerator that makes water and ice. There is a seperate toilet with sink, and a single shower with sink. The pellet stove, washer and dryer and the living room with TV are also on the ground level, as is a desk area with scanner and 11x17 printer for your use. There is one Queen size bed on this ground level for guests who prefer not to take the stairs.


The second floor is also an open loft with a queen and full size bed, with a place to do yoga and light excercise...(please no jumping as she is an old building). There is also a music space with full drum kit, guitar, base and PA for your use. Any additional musical equipment, and musicians for play or lessons can be arranged.

There are Repurposed materials throughout the space, and the Barn was rebuilt as an Energy efficent home. There are radiant floors on both stories. Please note the property and home are private, and there are amazing views of a marsh area out the back windows to the North. Abundant bird and wildlife watching, including wild Turkey and Deer. There are no street lights and the stars and Milky Way on a clear night are unbelievably bright. The light that moves through the building during the day is incredible, and no artificial lighting is needed. There are large curtains on the front glass doors for extra privacy, but please note there are no shades on any of the windows.


There is a large south facing stone patio and entry in the front of the house with a large BBQ with side stove. There is also a little metal firepit for your use that when lit warms up the stones very nicely. Please keep this a good distance away from the home if used.

During the summer guests can use the Lakeville lake facilities, which are about a 4 minute drive away. A canoe is provided for you on the property. The 9 hole Hotchkiss golf course is just up the road as well.
During the winter you have access to 3 local ski resports 30-45 minutes away....and their is an a ski jump facility in Lakeville. The property is within a mile of both Hotchkiss and Indian Mountain school.

Charming, Cozy Converted Barn
Fun, quirky space great for 2 people. Location is fantastic — so close to Millerton and not far from the Berkshires. Owner was helpful and responsive. Would definitely go back.

Perfect stay
We stayed here for a change of pace from working remote from our home in NJ and to get in some snowboarding at Mohawk Mountain. The Barn was exactly as advertised. I highly recommend The Barn, especially if you are a musician (we are not!). The property was clean and the driveway was plowed after a snow storm. The host was very accessible, proactive, and helpful. We are considering going back next month. Thank you Richard for a cool unique cozy fun stay.

The Barn is great for 2 people. It’s open and airy, and the 2nd floor has lovely light.
We quite enjoyed our couple of months here. Our landlord was quite attentive, answering questions and providing for our needs. Our son came to visit for a few days, and said it had great charm. We agree.

The Barn
Absolutely loved our 3 nights at the Barn. We took an impromptu ski trip to Catamount and Ski Butternut, and stayed here. Gorgeous area with local lakes and hills, and pretty drive up Under Mountain Road to Ski Butternut. The Millerton-Lakeville-Salisbury corner of the world is special, with abundant natural beauty, wonderful restaurants, antiquing, pretty old homes, local movie theatre, Hotchkiss events. Could not have been happier about our choice. The Barn is beautifully decorated, and so cozy and inviting. Perfect feng shui. Did not want to leave. It was bitter cold the weekend we stayed but the pellet stove made the Barn warm and lovely -- honestly tempted to skip the skiing and stay "home" in the Barn and read, listen to music, sip coffee. The owner was thoughtful and responsive. Wonderful, relaxing 3 days. Hope to go back.
