Easy directions to get there. We had opportunity to meet the owner, who made sure we had everything we needed. Our host was attentive and quick to respond. The Barn was stocked with everything we needed. EVERYONE in attendance had only positive things to say about this property. We could not have asked for anything better! Thank you!!! ##### Cindy C. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jennifer L. May 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### college graduation: place to stay for the family We loved the location! because of graduation we paid top price: BBQ had no propane, was dirty, all in pieces, we had to clean and put together and CALL for propane! So first night we had to wait for dinner. The cooking pans were cheap, kitchenware plastic and paper goods. Plastic wine glasses etc. place needs a new refrigerator. We had 4 teenage girls and one day a young man came over to work out in the back garage, thank goodness we were all home. FYI the pool is not heated. One bathroom upstairs for ALL to share. The other one is downstairs. We did use a blow up bed, it had a leak in it. good news plenty of towels.ONE more thing, Nathan told us we could check in at 3:00, I didn't realize we needed to do it online and so the place was NOT ready, we had to drive back to town, 30 min. drive one way. All we wanted to do was drop off our food so had to leave it in car till we got back. ##### Jennifer L.
