Perfect for family getaway!
Our extended family, 8 adults, ages 37-69, and 7 grandkids, ages 2-12, had an absolutely wonderful time at "the barn"! There was something for everyone to enjoy! The grandkids were able to keep themselves entertained the whole weekend, and the adults had fun playing with them!! We do a family getaway weekend every February and the whole family agreed that this was the best place we've ever gone! It was a unanimous vote that we go back to the barn next year! Kyle is a fantastic host and quickly responded to questions we had during our visit. I highly recommended this experience for a unique getaway! There's no place like it!!!

We loved it!
This was the final weekend of our hockey season and we had a blast! We stayed here with our high school aged daughters ( total of 20) and loved the barn for all it offers. It is an awesome place and hope we can rent it again! Perfect sized for large group meals with plenty to do! :)
