Wife and I have stayed at this property twice now. On both occasions the host has been amazing and the property is perfect for a couple looking to get away from the day to day. We love it there and will be back a third time.

Lauren was a very gracious host and her home was very welcoming. The location is amazing. Very picturesque on its own and close to the Red River Gorge State Park. We had a rather rainy start to our trip but the barn was so comfortable and stocked with games that we didn't even mind. The homestead actually has so.much to do (,playground, farm, etc) that we didn't even feel the need to drive to to the park. You could easily spend a quiet weekend at Lauren's thoughtfully curated homestead.

We stayed for 1 night and it was absolutely wonderful! Our kids loved the animals on the property and being able to adventure in the area. Minutes away from the Gorge, Natural bridge and Miguel’s Pizza. The home was very clean and as expected I have zero complaints. 1 night was not enough, we will definitely be back. I would highly suggest this to everyone!

We were visiting for our 36th wedding anniversary! When we arrived, we were greeting with a cute "Happy Anniversary" sign. The host Lauren was friendly and I enjoyed our conversation in her cute little store! If you stay, visit the store!! The ice cream was amazing and she has so many other nice things to browse! We were greeting in the morning by a peacock right outside the door! The dogs were aslo friendly! The property was gorgeous! If you stay take some time to enjoy it! Highly recommend this property and would 100% start here again!

We had a fantastic stay at this cute little barn! Lauren was very responsive to all of our needs. I traveled with my husband who has had back surgery and finding a comfortable bed is always a challenge, but this bed was very comfortable. The pullout couch is definitely for kids, as it's your typical pullout couch. We had some nice goodies waiting for us when we arrived that was a nice touch! My 6 year old begged me to stay and said he would, "pay me 3 if we could stay just 3 more days." Haha! So needless to say, we had a wonderful stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Barn Owl and Lauren was an excellent host. The barn is very nicely decorated and very "cozy" feeling. It was super nice to have the covered back patio area with the hot tub and hammock to use and we enjoyed opening the garage door and having a campfire right outside. And as others have said, having the fresh eggs and coffee for brewing sitting there at check in was a very nice touch. We did not explore all the property grounds but what we did see was very nice. Interesting little shelter built right into the cliff rock wall on one of the trails was very unique! Lauren was very quick to respond for a visit to the store and to pick up some firewood during the visit. Much appreciated!

Cabin was awesome. There is so much to do on the property to include pet farm animals, follow trails to waterfalls, a hot tub, playground and more. I wish we could’ve stayed longer. We used it as a place to rest from the activities we had planned in the area. But this cabin could be a destination all by itself. Definitely recommend.
