About the host
Hosted by Alysa
We’re from the Midwest and love all things adventure, lake life, family time, and creating spaces that bring people together. Hosting allows us to share the kind of experiences we value most - unplugged fun, connection, and a little adventure. It brings us so much joy to know our guests are making memories at The Barndo Retreat!
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this neighborhood because it offers the best of both worlds—peaceful, private seclusion surrounded by nature and wildlife, yet just minutes from Stone Lake and a short drive to the University of Notre Dame. It truly feels like a hidden retreat, where you can relax and unplug, while still being close to everything. Plus, we’re excited about all the beautiful revitalization happening in Cass—there’s a real sense of community and growth here that made it an easy choice for us.
What makes this property unique
The Barndo Retreat at Stone Lake stands out because it’s more than a stay—it’s an experience. Nestled on nearly 2 private acres with lake access just 3 minutes away, this one-of-a-kind retreat blends the charm of a modern barn-style home with high-end amenities designed for families, friend groups, and retreats.
Inside, guests can enjoy an indoor sports barn complete with basketball and pickleball courts, a dry bar for entertaining, and a private indoor therapeutic hot tub with a soothing fountain and LED lights. Outside, you’ll find lawn games, a golf cart for cruising around, and peaceful views of nature and wildlife that make you feel worlds away—yet you’re just 1 hour from Chicago, 1.5 hours from Grand Rapids, and under 2 hours from Kalamazoo.
It’s dog-friendly, kid-approved, and thoughtfully designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and make lifelong memories—whether you’re here for a reunion, wellness getaway, or simply a reset.
