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.

Garden of the Gods

We truly enjoyed our stay. We fit comfortably, loved the wide open spaces to explore. We hiked the grounds, fished the pond and played. It is a working farm so expect critters. We would stay again. There is so much to do within in 30 minutes. This time we hiked Bell Smith Springs and watched the sunset at Garden of the Gods. Easy check in and check out.

Beautiful peaceful country setting

Starting off by saying this place was very spacious and plenty of room for 9 people! Rented this place to do some hiking in the Shawnee national forest and to just get away and relax. Watched the beautiful sunrise every morning while enjoying my coffee plus watched turkeys out in the field every day. It’s a farm house so it’s not spotless. I thought the master bed was very comfortable. It was only a few minutes from a small town grocery store / gas station/ and dollar general. The only problem we had was ticks so make sure u have tick repellent to spray your clothes. Thank you for sharing your farm with us. It was very peaceful and relaxing

Excellent Farmhouse with Lots of Potential (& Some Quirks )

We stayed at the Barndominium Farmhouse for the weekend gateaway with family and friends. GOOD: It is a beautiful farmhouse and all amenities. The farmhouse itself is very spacious and have a small pond, cave and other activities (lots of firewood). The house was very well decorated. The host was very responsive and helpful. PLACE: It is located about 30 minutes from Garden of Gods and Rim Rock Trails. FEW QUIRKS: The entrance of the farmhouse goes through a small creek, so if you have a low ground clearance vehicle, it may not work nice. Also, the house is listed as 10-person home. There are three bedrooms with queen beds. There was another room with a sofa bed. But I would not consider it 10-person home, more like 7-8 people. It also has two full bathrooms. But one of the bathrooms sink (as of March 2024), was really small and at an awkward and inconvenient position right next to the toilet. It should be improved, if the house is to host more people. SUMMARY Overall, it is a great farmhouse with lots of potential. We had a great time with the family, kids.

We enjoyed our stay at the Barndominium Farmhouse! The location was optimal for visiting the Shawnee National Forest, Cave-in -Rock, and the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail. The home had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable and plenty of space for our pup to explore. Would definitely stay again!

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!

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

Family time

Stay was great wish we had more time. Quiet and secluded my kids loves being able to run. My father was able to take a lot of pictures. The internet was slow in the front room tv rarely worked. Did find a lot of dust on floors. Close to a lot of places and some stores. I will look at renting again in the future.

Great space and property

Plenty spacious and we enjoyed walking the farm, checking out the creek, and sitting outside. It was great to be able to bring our lab. However, she couldnt get settled in to sleep at night with all the animal trophies. I had never considered that being a problem, so we checked out a night early so we could all get some sleep. Lol. This was conveniently located to several of my favorite hiking areas and places to eat. It gave us time together as a family while my son was home, which was the goal. I'd stay again. Walking the ATV road I found fossils and two arrowheads. That was cool!

The property was as described and looked just like the pictures. Large outside area to play games (we brought our badminton game and had a family tournament), lighted patio for our nightly card games and fire pit for roasting marshmallows. Inside was clean and comfortable and had all the necessities. Private and secluded, yet not far from town. We really enjoyed our stay! Thank you for sharing your property with us!
