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.
