A Unique lodging experience

The Renovated Barn offers guests the chance to experience life on the farm. It is a true barn- only half of it is for guests, while the other half is where the farm animals stay. Currently there are 3 goats (including 1 fainting one), 3 peacocks, 4 ducks, 2 cats, several chickens and a Kunekune pig. Sharing the space with such interesting characters is the highlight for many guests. The animals get a little noisy at times (warning: the roosters start early!), but despite this, most people find the the barnyard a quiet & peaceful retreat from the city. If you're looking for a unique lodging experience you should consider staying in the Renovated Barn!

Our Story

Renovations on the Barn were completed in 2013. The original barn dates back to the early part of the 20th century. My husband and I did all the renovations ourselves and tried to keep as much original as possible. Most of the walls, windows and the ceiling are all original, which really lets you feel like you're staying in an old barn. However, we also did a lot of work including the addition of new floors, doors, roof, and insulation to really tighten the place up. We also did our best to pack all the creature comforts of home into the small space, making for a super comfortable, yet totally unique stay. You won't find similar accommodations anywhere!

We give guests privacy while staying in the Renovated Barn, which is located next to our home, where we live with our 2 dogs. Our dogs are fenced in and kept away from guests, though they are within sight and do bark on occasion. The Renovated Barn is on an actual farm, so I do come onto the grounds each day to feed and tend the animals, once in the morning and again in the late afternoon. Guests are permitted to feed the animals, provided they follow the rules as written in the Welcome Guide.
