It’s our 2nd time staying here and we love it Close to No Beach. It is a wonderful place to stay for a family. We had 18 in our group and there was lots of extra room, clean, big kitchen and yard with lots to do!
Spent three days at the barn and it was such a fun time! Everything was clean and it was stocked with everything you would need. Easy access to the North Beach!
Absolutely perfect home. We had a wonderful time at the home/property. Family and friends stayed for the annual Softball Tournament in Montpelier Idaho - Great location and large/spacious property -
This was our second stay at the property. It was great! Very clean, comfortable and enough space for everyone to spread out or be as close as they would like. The outside basketball court, yard games and amenities were fun and enjoyed.
A Great place for large families! Plenty of room for our family 25. The kids loved the big yard. The hot tub, pickleball court, and ping pong table were a big hit. Leah was great to work with. We would definitely stay here again.

Great place
We needed more instruction on the hot tub and they really need to take care of the earwigs problem
Our family has stayed in a lot of rentals and this is by far the best house and location we have ever stayed in! Beautiful home and amenities and stocked so well. So many fun things to do as a family. Close to the north shore for boating and beach time. We will be staying here again‼️‼️
This is an AWESOME place to stay!!! We were in town for a reunion and were sad we couldn't spend more time at this home. But when we were there we had a great time!!!! Very clean and had everything we needed. Highly recommend!!!!
We absolutely loved our stay at the Red Barn! We had 3 families staying here with plenty of room. We had our family reunion and this was a great gathering spot for dinners. It was nice to have indoor and outdoor siting for dinners and the yard and basketball court keep the kids entertained. The fireman’s pole was a hit with the young kids. Plenty of parking space for trucks and trailers and nice that it was so close to Bloomington canyon for RZR riding!Leah was great at communicating and made our stay great! Thanks
The property was beautiful, clean and amazing. The host was so helpful. She went above and beyond when we had a child need some medication and the nearby stores were closed. Would definitely recommend.
We had our annual family reunion at this property. There was plenty of room and lots of things to do (pickleball, basketball, yard games, sitting on the back porch, board games, hot tub, fire pit, etc. Only about 15 minutes from the north shore of Bear Lake. It was a lovely trip. Thank you!
We stayed at the barn with our church group. The setup was perfect and clean. The kitchen had everything that we needed. The beds are comfy and the location is excellent. Bloomington Canyon is a beautiful drive. However, the trailhead to the Lake is closed until July.This is the place to be to avoid all the crowds at Bear Lake.
The Red Barn was the perfect place for our family reunion. We loved the quiet location near Bear Lake. It was spacious (inside and out), clean, well stocked, and had great amenities for our event. The kids and teenagers loved playing volleyball, pickleball, and basketball. There was also plenty of parking. Leah was great and very helpful. Would love to stay at this location again in the future. Thank you!
We really enjoyed our stay. The Red barn is so cute and well taken care of. Plenty of room and beds for everyone. The kids loved the open space to run around outside and the giant fire pit. Room for everyone to sit around and chat, great big kitchen and lots of bathrooms. The listing says no AC so we were hesitant but pleasantly surprised when we got there to see they have AC. We would definitely consider staying again.
Only thing would be more or bigger garbage receptacles. Also several of us almost fell (one did) off of the back porch on to the grass area. Might want to paint the edge.
We have family members with houses in Bloomington, but there isn't enough room to sleep everyone, so we rented the Barn for the second time. It's so big and comfortable. It has enough space for the 40+ of us to gather (we didn't all sleep there) for meals and activities. We loved the hot tub, basketball court and pickleball court. When there was a strange message on the hot tub, Leah texted immediately and I was able to take care of it. Love the two fridges so the three families staying there could divide their stuff up.
We had a wonderful time at the Red Barn. It was clean and functional. The yard, pickle ball court, basketball court and hot tub were a hit with our family. It’s also close to other activities in the area. Our only complaint was we did get caught off guard with the limited number of plates for our meals, which required that we use paper plates. Also, we were only given three laundry pods for five days. Other than those small issues, it’s a fabulous place.
Used all the property especially the green space, pickle ball, volley ball, and corn hole.

About the host
Hosted by Leah Nielsen
I was born and raised a rancher's daughter here in Bloomington, although life has taken me other places, this has always been home. As a family, we love to come back and spend time where we worked and played together.
Why they chose this property
It has always been a dream of ours to come back to Bloomington to a place of our own, for our children and grandchildren to get to know our roots.
What makes this property unique
As a custom home builder, my husband spared no expense in building this beautiful home for our family. He paid every attention to detail, using many years of experience and talents to make it a unique place. After completing the project in the summer of 2021, we are excited to now share it with others.
