Great place to stay!

We now consider this barn a home away from home with how much we love to stay here. Everything is better than pictured and extremely relaxing. Susan is available to meet your needs if necessary and always communicates promptly

Excellent stay!!

Beautiful!! The Barn was a perfect getaway location for our long weekend. The pictures really don't do justice. We didn't come across anything that we thought could have been "needed". Love that your neighbor's dog came to visit both evenings in the hot tub. We will definitely be back for another stay. Thank you for sharing your property.

Peaceful, gorgeous views

Wonderful property, wonderful hosts. You could spend all your time just sitting and taking in the views but you can also play some pool, sit in hot tub, short drive to Grafton or shopping in St. Charles. The bed was comfortable, kitchen well stocked. What a special place this is. I hope to come back in the future. back in the future.

2nd Home (I wish)

This is the 2nd time my wife and I stated at the property, this time our great niece who lives on the island spent one night with us. The only complaint we could have about our times spent here was that it was to short. We will definitely return.

Golden Slice of Heaven!

The property itself is nestled in the middle of the amazing hills and the views were fantastic. The house was comfortable, almost any kitchen item you could want was there for us. There was even a bundt pan! Who would have thought?? We were greeted by a freshmade loaf of banana walnelut bread that was so tasty, a welcome note, and a birthday card for a member of our group. Will definitely be suggesting this property to anyone heading to the area!
