About this property
Let the beautiful country surround you!
(Please see rate section: basic rate is for 12 people, and additional charge per person above 12) If you have a larger group, or an extended stay, please request price quote through VRBO. Also, if you wish to host an event, request information and pricing through VRBO.
The Barn House is a unique and beautiful home that was once truly a barn. In 2001 it was transformed to become something quite magical, and it is now a treasured country experience made available to you. Whether you are a group of two or many...family, group of friends, business group, retreats..the Barn House provides an opportunity for an experience instead of merely an event. The beauty of country will surround you inside and out, with views that hold their own magic with each season, and the interior of the barn with it's wood, stone and stained glass, will leave you in awe as you explore all it offers.
When you rent the Barn House, it is fully furnished with all you probably will need, and if something additional is needed, we will do our best in the tradition of country hospitality, to accommodate you...and to make your stay a treasured memory.
Whether you plan to visit the many attractions in the area...the 26 mile Heritage Trail hiking an biking trail, historic Dubuque, the wineries, the Field of Dreams, the Riverboat Museum, Galena, ski at Sundown, or you plan to just enjoy the peacefulness and serenity of the country, the Barn House will meet your needs.
It isn't possible in words or pictures to fully capture the beauty of the Barn House and the country surroundings -- you must experience it yourself. You will then know why...heaven and earth do meet at the Barn House.

Why they chose this property
This beautiful barn was built in 1935, and the craftsmanship and labor that went into this creation has made it a treasure. It is surrounded by the beauty of the country with each season giving you something breathtaking to experience. The inside has been furnished and designed in a way to provide your family/group so much space and seating that you can be together for meals and separated for the different activities you desire. The outside space gives you so much room for games and enjoyment...and you can sit around the campfire and make incredible memories.
What makes this property unique
The beauty inside and out, the large space that will accommodate your group...and the joy of the country! The views with every season are amazing...
