About this property

Barndominium Farmhouse

Family owned and built for 3 generations since 1978. Located in the heart of the Shawnee National Forest, The Green Farm offers 200 acres of private land to explore! Featuring bluffs, ATV/four-wheeler trails, hiking trails, fishing pond, two natural wells, a spring house and more, there are an abundance of activities to do right in the back yard of this farm.

This farm is a perfect getaway if you are looking to be off-the-grid but still within driving distance to town! There is plenty of room to tent camp or park a camper. Otherwise, the farm house itself offers 3 bedrooms and 1 private room with a pullout couch, 2 full sized bathrooms, one full kitchen and a kitchenette, 2 living rooms including the grand trophy room with couches that recline out flat, and a laundry room with a washer and dryer. The Green Farm has central heating and air, 3 TVs, and phone service. There is one air mattress provided.

For your enjoyment, outside the house you can find a grill and a smoker, a covered patio with chairs and a firepit perfect for gathering under the night sky. You can also enjoy your morning coffee or evening drinks on the covered front porch with a scenic view!

For water activities, The Green Farm is within a 30 minute drive from Lusk Creek Kayak/Canoe Access Point, The Scenic Ohio River and Golconda Marina, Bell Smith Springs, Dixon Springs, Lake Glendale, Pounds Hollow, and more.

For hiking/rocking climbing activities, The Green Farm is within a 30 minute drive from Burden Falls, Jackson Falls, Jackson Hole, Sand Cave, Rim Rock Trails, Garden of the Gods and more.

Miscellaneous activities in the area also include horseback riding trails, mountain biking trails, nightlife and restaurants, River to River Marathon (seasonal), nearby local/seasonal festivals, wine trails and more.

**The Green Farm is 5.5 miles to the nearest rural town, 14.5 miles to the nearest hospital.
**Though there is plenty of room for campers and RVs, we do not offer any hookups.
**Phone service works but is spotty in some areas of the house and surrounding areas. (this is based on Verizon Services)
**There is a small creek/water that runs over the front part of the driveway. 4WD is not necessary but we advise no low riding cars.
**We welcome any motor vehicles or animals, but we ask that you are respectful of all wildlife and the space/furniture/decorations inside the house. Limit 2 big dogs or 3 small dogs.

Serenity and Solitude We went to relax, unwind, and enjoy. We did. We fished, enjoyed an evening fire under a full moon, and loved exploring the expansive property riding on the trails. The entire property is clean-No junk. Home is comfy. We thank the host for sharing the family home and history. It was wonderful.

Seeking a weekend getaway for my wife and I, as well as a place our dog to roam, this property was the perfect remedy. With acres of area onsite to explore, the awesome hosts have taken great care in providing everything a guest could need- from amenities to activities, both indoors & out, they've covered it all.When we weren't enjoying the property, we were mere minutes from exploring Golconda- (with special mentions for the museum and the Chocolate Factory!)- as well as some of the many attractions Shawnee Nat'l Forest offers- Lake Glendale, Lusk Creek, Garden of the Gods, to name a few. The only regret is that 3 days wasn't enough time, so we'll be returning soon!

Mom’s Birthday Weekend

Absolutely loved our stay! We had our two dogs who were able to run and play freely. We went hiking at nearby state parks and had amazing food. The location was great. The property was amazing, we even had a fire both nights. Thanks so much! We will definitely book again.

We loved this house!

It was fun going to the hill every time we got back to the house. Lots of space and I liked the idea of 2 separate living areas. The outdoor area was nice too. It would've been nice to be able to turn the bright light off outside so I could look at the stars and maybe Milly Way but I couldn't find a switch for it. My friend and I would like to come back with more people next time for another hiking trip

Pleasant but could be better

The barndominium had several pluses. The living room with the leather couches is very comfy. The large dining tables are perfect for meals and games. However there was a mustiness inside. Ants found their way onto the food bar every night. The drinking water dispenser was empty.and the tap water tastes like pool water the towels were old. And the bedrooms tiny. There was a hole in the bathroom door covered with a poster on the outside. But evident on the inside. Despite these drawbacks, everyone enjoyed being together. And it was so quiet. We all slept so soundly each night
