About this property

NEW! Countryside Retreat Home with Space for Entertaining, Weddings and More!

Our property is a barn house (shouse) located on just over 3.5 acres. The living quarters is over 2200 square feet and can sleep up to 22 guests. You can walk directly out to the fully heated/cooled barn that provides just under 6000 square feet of entertaining space. A 150" projector screen allows you to entertain your guests with the big game or have a movie night with the kids. Also in the barn is a bar with a beverage fridge and bar sink. From the barn you can walk out to the 1800 square foot covered patio and look out at the 3/4 acre stocked pond. The pond has a nice beach area to enjoy while everyone is swimming. If you are not a swimmer, feel free to bring your fishing poles and cast a line. If you are looking for a good workout, hop in the two pedal boats and cruise around the pond. The patio has plenty of seating and has two propane fire tables.

When the weather is nice outside we have a portable basketball Hoop for the paved parking lot, two portable soccer goals, wiffle ball, kick ball and footballs to enjoy. We have two cornhole boards and more outdoor games. If the weather is not so nice, you have the 6000 square foot barn to play most games inside!

The property gives you so much to do while you are here. Located just outside of town provides the country scene while close to local amenities. We look forward to your stay!

A wonderful weekend stay.

The property was exactly as listed. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was very large and well stocked. The outside porch with gas fire pits were wonderful. In addition, there was a wood burning fire pit, and a pond that the kids and adults could fish in. A huge bonus is the barn. It was a great place to play cards. Also, the kids enjoyed all of the games that were provided. I would definitely stay here again!

We had the best weekend ever! The house was fully stocked with everything we needed and more! Everything was beautifully decorated throughout and very clean. More than enough space for out family of 7. Great for large families. The location was beautiful and very quiet. Lots of local restaurants and shopping close by. Highly recommend!

Perfect Family Retreat

This was a wonderful time away for our family. The kitchen and gathering area were wonderful. The beds were very comfortable and the event barn and games were a really big hit! Everything about this rental was a testament to generous owners who clearly were on a mission to create a beautiful and thoughtful experience for families and groups. My entire family, toddlers up to grandparents, want to come back sometime soon! The hosts were kind and very good at communicating, which is always a plus! Just a lovely time with loved ones!!!!

70th birthday party

Surprised my mother with a 70s theme birthday party for her 70th. It was the perfect spot and plenty of room for all 20 guest! The barn was perfect and spacious!! It was a chilly night so the fire pits made it nice for guest to stay warm while still enjoying the outdoors. The house itself was very clean, and the decor was nice. Bedrooms were cozy! Highly recommend this spot!

This is by far one of the best places we have stayed at. I love the fact that we needed to brig nothing... not games, coolers, paper products, NOTHING at all. I did have to call him twice and he answered right away and was very pleasant.
