An absolute-must stay for large groups! We brought our family to the Big Sky Barnhouse in Arena and loved all of the amenities that it provided. The kids lived in the indoor playground and the 9-hole mini-golf course. The adults and the kids loved the pool, hot tub, and theater room. It is an awesome, creative conversion with gorgeous Amish woodwork and tons of space. You literally do not need to leave the property to have the best weekend ever.

We loved, loved, loved the stay. The kids stayed busy with all the activities. We would’ve liked more kitchen towels for dishes and there was no paper toweling. (Minor stuff) After the Wi-Fi incident all was great! We did correct the Wi-Fi pw in your book. Thanks again.

Perfect spot for our small family wedding

This was a perfect spot for our small family wedding. Our entire group loved this place. We were a little concerned if the traffic noise would be a problem, but we didn't even notice it. There were so many entertainment amenities, no one was without something to do during our stay.

Family getaway

We had a wonderful time at the Barnhouse!! Our grandkids ages 5, 4 and 4 months thought the place was gigantic and loved it! With five daughters and a few significant others and two friends there was plenty of room and activities for everyone! Kyle and Erin are the perfect hosts!! Highly recommend the Barnhouse! Thank you!

Great family time

We had a lovely time at the barn house with all of the amenities for the kids and adults too. Beds were comfortable, house was clean and loved the multiple areas people could choose to spend time. Sleeping was an issue since it was difficult to regulate heat upstairs and floors and interior doors were very noisy

We loved it!

This was the final weekend of our hockey season and we had a blast! We stayed here with our high school aged daughters ( total of 20) and loved the barn for all it offers. It is an awesome place and hope we can rent it again! Perfect sized for large group meals with plenty to do! :)

Hot Tub was unusable, very dirty, rotten grape floating, damaged/moldy cover and would not heat.Inside barn had some minor cleaning needed on rug. My pants were very dirty when we sat on the floor. Communication has been great with owner until I asked for some back. Now delays in response. Property is neat, activity building is great with pool table, ping pong and darts. Mini golf and arcade games in lower barnwere also fun. This would be a great place to rent if they fix some cleaning issues.

Family Holiday

Our extended family booked this as our Holiday get away and we were not disappointed! The kids absolutely loved the amenities. With so much to do and so much space our large group had plenty of opportunities to float around the property playing games, hot tub, sauna, relaxing, eating, etc! We even used the outside sitting area with the unusually warm weather.Check in was a breeze as was checked out. Host has excellent communication and we couldn’t have asked for a better property for our holiday celebration. We’d love to come back but have already discussed trying a different luxury barn from the same company for our next family getaway.

All around amazing!

Kyle was an excellent host for our week long stay at the Barnhouse! He was very responsive to messages, and answered all our questions! It’s a great getaway, with plenty of space and an enough to keep people entertained! The view during our stay ( October) was amazing to wake up and watch the fall colors change o de the week we stayed! We definitely will stay again in the future! My wife was able to work over the WiFi for a few days in comfy cozy atmosphere , and the family enjoyed all amenities provided! We were able to do some local attractions, and support local businesses! Overall great stay! Life’s to short, just book it and enjoy it!

Perfect for All Ages

Our group of friends come from across the country each year for an annual friends trip so it’s a weekend we take very seriously when it comes to planning and choosing the right place. Big Sky Barnhouse was the perfect place for our friends’ weekend. The posting, pictures and details were super accurate and we had everyone from 2 year olds, teens and adults enjoying every part of the weekend here. Kyle was super responsive whenever I had a question and we could have stayed there a whole week with all there was to do. Thanks Kyle for being such a great host and for providing such a dynamic space for groups like ours!

Perfect for family getaway!

Our extended family, 8 adults, ages 37-69, and 7 grandkids, ages 2-12, had an absolutely wonderful time at "the barn"! There was something for everyone to enjoy! The grandkids were able to keep themselves entertained the whole weekend, and the adults had fun playing with them!! We do a family getaway weekend every February and the whole family agreed that this was the best place we've ever gone! It was a unanimous vote that we go back to the barn next year! Kyle is a fantastic host and quickly responded to questions we had during our visit. I highly recommended this experience for a unique getaway! There's no place like it!!!

I wanted to view the property before booking as I only live 11 miles away. The host said there were enough pictures online that that shouldn't be necessary. Then I wanted to do room assignments. The host said there were two bedrooms on each floor. This was not true. There are three on the main floor, two on the second floor and one in the loft. What is also not disclosed is that you need to walk through a bedroom to get to the theatre and workout room. The bathrooms are on the main floor so anyone needing to go to the bathroom staying on the second floor or in the loft has quite a ways to travel. The pool area is nice, but the pool is rather small and deep. The only shallow portion is where the stairs are, so make sure you have someone watching your little ones. The building with the ping pong table and billards table smelled musty. The hot tub is on the second floor which seems like an odd location. What is nice is that there is a refrigerator in the game building as well as in the kitchen. There is ample counter space for large buffets. We utilized the yard behind the pool area to set up extra tables and chairs. This area is shaded and provided a very nice environment on a hot day.
