New Years Eve Get Away

The Barn is a comfortable and welcoming property. It was our first visit to the area and we found there to be a range of interesting options. The property is well appointed and very spacious. It is generally well maintained and in keeping with the website photos. We were disappointed with a few issues that were either not working properly or broken but they were not showstoppers. As frequently is the case with VRBO rentals, the property could go from very good to great with a few modest investments, attention to details and modest improvements, particularly at this price point. The hosts, or property manager, was very responsive and helpful to our requests. All in all, a very positive experience. Thanks!

The barn

Excellent interior design and architecture, beautifully executed. Kitchen access and function perfect and made cooking and serving a joy. All amenities were available and functional. Hosts were available and helpful throughout our stay our family of 12 included adults. And six grandchildren.

A great stay for eight friends

We loved staying in your beautiful home. There was room for all eight of us to sleep comfortably and hang out together. The home was clean and well stocked, and there was nothing more that we needed to make our stay perfect. The hosts were responsive and lovely to deal with. They answered every question in good time. The only problem is that we left 2 gray raincoats--possibly in the closet near the front door. Please let us know if you find them. We will pay for the shipping. Thank you again, Alicia and Harry

Excellent Place for Family to Gather

We rented this lovely home to stay while we attended a family wedding in the area. Our adult children and two grands enjoyed being together in this comfortable and clean home. We were grateful that each family had its own bathroom. Our granddaughter loved playing ping pong too. Highly recommend!

Married for 25+ years, we are an international couple who raised two girls in NYC. Now that they are older, we are looking to focus more of our time on new projects - the Barn being one of them! We are nature-lovers and love to travel all over the world. We are looking forward to hosting you in our home.
