Private Barndo Retreat for Groups - Indoor Pickleball, Hoops, Hot Tub, Near Lake

Gather Your Favorite People and Escape to The Barndo Retreat at Stone Lake:

A private, boutique-luxury barndominium where modern design meets the peace of nature. Set on 2 secluded acres just 3 minutes from Stone Lake, this spacious retreat sleeps up to 18 and delivers year-round fun with a heated indoor Sports Barn, hot tub under the stars, and inviting spaces designed for connection.

Perfect for family reunions, wedding weekends, Notre Dame game days, golf trips, wine tours, ski getaways, and group retreats — The Barndo is where play, rest, and memory-making come together.

Easy Lake Life — Just Minutes Away:

Guests love how simple and accessible lake days are at Stone Lake.

Just 3 minutes away, the newly improved public beach, pier, and boardwalk offer a welcoming, family-friendly lake experience — no boat required.

Spend the day swimming from the sandy beach, walking the pier, or enjoying sunset views along the boardwalk. Seasonal kayak, paddleboard, and pedal-boat rentals make getting on the water effortless.

For those bringing a boat, the public launch is nearby — but many guests find everything they need for a full lake day is already right here.

Enjoy the lake at your own pace, then return to your private retreat, hot tub, and open space to unwind.

Heated Indoor Sports Barn (Year-Round Fun):

Your private, all-weather recreation space includes:

• Half-court basketball
• Pickleball court (a guest favorite)
• Volleyball setup
• Ping pong, cornhole, and family games
• Peloton bike and rowing machine
• Lounge seating and card table
• Open space for rollerblading or free play

Rain, snow, or late-night energy — the fun doesn’t stop here.

Outdoor Privacy and Nature:

Set on nearly 2 acres of peaceful seclusion, ideal for:

• Evenings by the fire pit
• Wildlife sightings including deer and foxes
• Stargazing from the hot tub
• Kids running, exploring, and playing freely
• Quiet mornings with coffee and fresh air

It’s the kind of place where both grandparents and kids feel completely at ease.

High-End Comfort Inside:

• Bright, open living spaces
• Chef-ready kitchen with Nespresso coffee bar
• Cozy gathering areas for movie nights and game nights
• High-speed fiber internet for remote work and streaming

A true “everyone fits, everyone relaxes” home.

Dog-Friendly and Family-Friendly:

Bring the whole group, including your furry family members. There’s space to play, relax, sleep, and reconnect together.
