FAIRYTALE BARN:
Welcome to the lower-level cabin inside our 100-year-old barn — thoughtfully restored with salvaged wood, vintage tin tiles, and modern comforts woven throughout.
This is where rustic charm meets cozy magic.
Step inside and you’ll find single-level living designed for comfort and ease year-round. The cabin features a fully stocked kitchen, open living space, and unique Social-Media-worthy finishes — including reclaimed barn wood walls and an interior tin ceiling that gives the space its unmistakable character.
Outside on your private side deck, you’ll have:
• Your own hot tub
• A private fire pit
• A grill for evening cookouts
• Peaceful views of the farm
And then… there’s the rest of the property.
The petting zoo is just about 100 yards away. Wander through the gates and meet the goats, bunnies, and whoever else happens to be holding court that day — they are a real trip. Kids love it. Adults love it. Everyone leaves smiling.
Follow the manicured trails down to the state-stocked trout stream, discover whimsical land art swings tucked into the woods, or just slow down and breathe in the quiet.
This is not a sterile, cookie-cutter cabin. It’s a storybook space with history in the walls, tin on the ceilings, and goats in the distance.

My family and I had a great time. Our pet seemed to have fun as well especially feeding the goats rabbits and the little pig. The little goat was liking our little dog through the fence. Our kids are older but they seemed to enjoy themself as well. The hot tub was especially refreshing in freezing weather and the process of getting in and out was fun. Very cold but refreshing. Having a fire was also convenient, with there little store shed. No smores on our visit but had the fire wood. The little country store/gas station down the road was also convenient and a treat. The sandwiches were great. The host was very helpful with info and and would definitely recommend this place especially with kids.

The Fairy Tale Barn and farm was a dream come true for our family. The kids loved waking up and going to see the animals every day, swinging on the swing, jumping on the trampoline, and enjoying the hot tub. Even during a snowstorm! Listing had everything we needed and more, honestly one of our best stays yet. Don’t miss out, stay here.

This is a quality property in a semi secluded area in the mountains. Property is not near towns or stores, so you would need to bring your food, etc. with you. Property is amazing for children and even for us 70 year old children. Plenty of activities for all to do. Pickle Ball court, tube riding in creek, water slide, small zip line, kayaks, games, lots of animalls to feed and pet, plenty of walking trails both flat and difficult and so much more to do. Around every corner you will find Connie's artistic side displayed. Several options for lodging on property to choose from. We saw several repeat visitors who had come back a second or third time. A great place to bring kids of all ages and enjoy all the mountains have to offer. Very relaxing and refreshing place to get away from it all.

I loved the barn and its surroundings. My only complaint is it was difficult to reach the owner via phone prior to check in. Thankfully I did reach them upon arrival to get the code to enter.
