• Events: The barn capacity is 4 adults. Any guests not registered in the booking require pre-authorization by the host. Events are only allowed upon pre-approval by the host and incur additional fees.

We had a great stay. The hosts were very informative and guided us with the spa. We also had access to a lovely brochure they put together about the stay and area. It was helpful. We couldn't stop raving about the property. The barn is exactly the way we would build it. It was perfect for us.

We stay at many Verbo listings. This was simply amazing a must stay for couples wanting to get away from there busy life’s to unwind and snuggle. The meteor showers while we were there was definitely a bonus.

We enjoyed staying at the beautiful barn house. The large sliding barn doors were a huge hit with the family. It was nice to enjoy nature and pretty weather. We traveled with our kids and small dog, but did have to keep our dog on a long leash most of the time when the big doors were open. The bedrooms were comfortable. The linens, pillows and bed were soft and the ACs worked well. I would recommend staying here in the spring, fall and winter. There is no AC in the large dining, living room and kitchen area. Even in October it was quite warm in the middle of the day. Summer would be very hot without AC. The owners were helpful and responsive. Our kids absolutely loved the outdoor movie screen and projector. The owners were very helpful on how to set it up. The only small issue we ran into was that the double ovens in kitchen were broken. I wish that had been communicated before we arrived with planned meals. There was a small convection oven on the countertop that worked for most things we had planned. I would stay again. It was a fun and unique find.
