Thank you so much, Audrey! We’re so glad you and your family loved your stay. It was a pleasure hosting you, and you’re welcome back anytime, we’d be delighted to host you again!
The barndo is an amazing place to stay and the host Alyssa is wonderful and very helpful! Responded within minutes of me messaging her with questions. We had my daughter's 13th birthday party there and they all had so much fun! Would 100% recommend this place to family and friends.
We had an amazing time at this house! Alysa was incredibly communicative, accommodating, and a fantastic host. The home was very clean and in excellent condition. There were plenty of activities on-site, and we loved how close it was to great restaurants and local attractions. Would highly recommend staying here!

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.
