This property was beyond our expectations! It’s rustic, charming and beautiful. The history behind it was very interesting to read about, and everywhere you looked, magnificent antiques, oh and the books!! Again, it’s the history, and what a treat to look through the many shelves throughout the accommodation. Just so inviting and warm. We had a family wedding to attend in Wakefield and it was a perfect location for us to travel from. John & Hannah were very responsive to my questions prior to arriving and made this so easy for our first ever Vrbo rental I highly recommend this property, especially for a larger group. We would definitely book again!

The barn was spacious, and conveniently located to family we were visiting. Hannah is a great host and responds quickly if needed. We especially appreciated the 3 bathrooms, all with showers and there appeared to be plenty of hot water as we never ran out, even when all 5 of us showered at the end of a long day. If you’re looking for a place that can comfortably accommodate a large group, the barn is what you’re looking for.

An excellent property for larger family gatherings as it will sleep many people. Very unique (restored bank barn) and full of interesting family history. Room to spread out both indoors and out. Private. Hosts were wonderful. Highly recommend if you are interested in a different and interesting experience!

Team Hardwood loved their stay at The Barn

This was a great place for our team to stay for a training camp. We have stayed here before in the Wylie XC ski races but this was the first time in the summer. We had great access to th Gatineau Park for training. The setup was perfect for our team. Very cozy and warm atmosphere. Great hosts. Looking forward to coming back again next year
