This is our 3rd time staying at the Red Barn. We love the remote location that is still very easy to get to from St. Charles County. Always a nice relaxing weekend with plenty to do from the pool table, to the fire pit or the hot tub.

Very clean, kitchen has everything you could possibly need. The host had many added personal touches like a hand written welcome note and banana bread waiting for us upon arrival. Host also messaged the day of arrival telling us the place was ready for us and we could check in early if we’d like (without us even asking for an early check in). It was so nice to be able to take advantage of the early check in! Will definitely be back.

This is a gorgeous house, it was a fantastic experience. The view was absolutely breathtaking, and the place was so beautifully decorated. It felt very remote and private. We really enjoyed the deck and hot tub. There were many things to do and enjoy. Thank you to the wonderful hosts and we can't wait to come back.

Birthday gets away

My wife and couple came to celebrate my birthday. We were going to grafton for the winery’s and the park. Staying here was perfect for us. The drive to grafton wasn’t very far at all. I loved being out in the middle of no where and away from everything. The stay was just what we needed. The hot tub was great and the ability to use the grill was nice for a meal instead of having to eat out both nights. What you see in the pictures is what it is in person. Very clean and spacious. Susan was wonderful to work with.

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.

The Barn A

The Barn in Golden Eagle, Illinois is definitely a must see experience. Being in the middle of rolling hills and fields, the scenery is absolutely beautiful. The house is VERY clean and has everything you need. The kitchen is loaded with pots and pans, utensils, and even spices and condiments. Tons of extra towels and extra soaps and shampoos are in the bathrooms. Beautifully decorated, it is a totally complete household. With the hot tub outside, 2 decks for bird watching, a pool table in the man cave and games, puzzles and Bluetooth, all you need to bring is your food, and you don’t have to leave for anything. We had such a peaceful, relaxing visit, we will definitely be coming back again. Susan was always in contact with me, making sure we didn’t need anything. We definitely give this place an A.
