This is our third time visiting the barn! We love it! The entire place is incredible! Great kitchen, huge table for many to gather around. We enjoyed the hot tub while watching it rain. We saw wild turkeys and groundhogs. We walked the property almost everyday. The kitchen has all you need to cook great meals, There are nice little spots to sit and just look outside and wonderful comfy couches. We will definitely be back again.

Serenity and solitude! This place was perfect for our 10 day retreat. Meditation, qigong, long walks and picnicking by the pond, and it was perfect for our senior dog too.Back at the red barn house, we couldn’t get enough of the picture-window views—deer grazing beneath the apple trees, wild turkeys strolling across the field, birds of all kinds, clouds floating by, green fields and wildflowers everywhere. Rain or shine, there was always something beautiful to enjoy. The natural wood, artwork and thoughtful decor added to the peaceful atmosphere, and the spa and sauna were a lovely bonus.Joe was responsive and attentive throughout our stay, making sure we were comfortable. We left feeling rested and restored. A wonderful stay and an easy five stars!

Great experience overall and above-and-beyond communication from host while they were in a different time zone!! House had everything we (fam of 4 with 2 kids under 14, plus small dog) could need. Tips from owners before our visit and after were appreciated. Hot tub was a hit with the kids (supervised, of course). Lawn care came midway through visit but long after we were awake for the day (pass along our thanks to the crew!). This later in the week made roaming the grounds less wet for our sneakers. We did partial day trips to Hudson, Bash Bish Falls and Egremont,

The pictures didn’t do this place justice — it’s even more beautiful in person! The fall views over the orchard were stunning and we loved watching deer wander by in the early morning and at dusk. The rooms were perfectly sized, the kitchen was perfectly stocked and there were tons of games and movies for the kids. The host was incredible and gave us great local recommendations for things to do and places to eat. A perfect, quiet fall getaway — we can’t wait to return!

About the host

Hosted by Joe K.

Host profile image
We've owned this property since 1993, and its our favorite place to be year round. We've done a lot of entertaining here over the years, and our friends love visiting. We even had our wedding reception on the property!

We hope you enjoy your stay.

JoLi

Why they chose this property

We built the Barn so our closest friends and family could come and stay us, while having their own space. We are happy to share that experience with others! A tremendous amount of thought and time went into every detail. You will wish you could stay longer....

What makes this property unique

Relaxing, and away from the frenzied pace of the city. You are in the middle of nature. Take long walks on the property and enjoy the countryside. Turkey, deer, pheasant, and an occasional bear, and maybe even a Sasquatch...
