We live just down the road and work on the property in our spare time. We and our team handle the maintenance and management with as little interruption to guests as possible. Routine outdoor maintenance for the 40 acre property is typically scheduled after 10am for lawn, pond, hot tub, firewood, etc. Hot tub maintenance is communicated with guests in advance. .

We are in a rural location with plenty of space between neighbors. Even with space, sound can travel. We ask that you be considerate especially after 10pm. While the barn is set back from the road by over 300ft, you can still hear some light traffic noise from the front porch occasionally. Across the driveway is a separate short term rental, Evergreen Retreat, another amazing property from Gatheryng. The only shared amenities are the sport court, the fishing dock behind the sports court, and the trash cans by the driveway.

50th Birthday Celebration

10/10 experience. The barn is a perfect location to celebrate with a group of friends. Sitting on the front porch, drinking coffee is a perfect way to start the day. Watching the birds and deer and listening to the pond make for a peaceful start. The fire pit was the perfect place to end the day, enjoying food and drinks and playing games. Lisa and Rich are generous hosts, offering a beautiful, well appointed place to gang out and have fun! We had a blast and can't wait to return!

Awesome space for our event

I hosted a women's wellness weekend here, and Lisa was very clear and accommodating. I've been here for few family gatherings in the fall and winter - The Barn and its surrounding property are spacious and beautiful, any time of year, with more sleeping space than most properties in the area. At this particular event, the women who joined me loved the barn and got to relax, enjoy the campfire, sit by the pond, cook together in the kitchen, hike at nearby Towner's Lake, and watch movies together--it was a blast! Highly recommend this spacious and cozy property.

Beautiful place

Last October I stayed at the Retreat next door to the barn with my college friends of 50 years. It was wonderful. I decided to try the barn with my husband, two adult children and their spouses. I asked everyone what they liked best. Sandra: the mom, enjoyed the kitchen. I know Lisa would have it well stocked and clean! I didn't have to bring anything but the food. I also liked the fact we each had our own bedroom with KING beds and attached bathroom. We all had privacy when needed. Gary: Dad liked the games, a basketball court, pool table, and ping pong. He also enjoyed the kayaking. Nicole: loved the atmosphere and the decor. Bryan: loved the variety of games, small appliances in kitchen, and the dedicated bathrooms. Jessie: loved the paddle boats and kayaks and plenty of wood for the fire. Fire starters were definitely a plus! Paul: plenty of places to sit and relax, inside and outside, front porch and backyard. Outdoor lighting was great also! We had some great family time.

4TH OF JULY AT THE BARN

Rich Lisa With the visit from my family to occupy the barn for the 4th of July was a very special time for us. There were many options for the teenagers and adults . The piano was a big hit for 3 of the grandchildren. While the foosball, pool table, air hockey and pingpong were all played , I think the shuffleboard was used the most . There was always something to do. The entire house was super clean. The barn was stocked with all the things needed to make our stay stress free. A very well thought out floor plan made for easy access to all amenities. My family and I had a great time in the barn. We hope to be back again and highly recommend this property ! Thank you for being such great hosts. Carl and Dawn

Love The Barn!

My women’s fellowship group spent a retreat weekend here for the third year in a row. With 15 or more attendees, we need the space. We love the Barn’s layout, space, sleeping accommodations, and amenities. Owners Rich and Lisa are extremely responsive and communicative. The home is very clean, and each year, some upgrade has been made. A basement level bathroom is slated for this year, which will be a welcome addition. We’ve only been there in the winter but can easily imagine how wonderful the Barn would be for a family reunion or other gathering in warmer weather.

A new Favorite Family Gathering Place!

We stayed at the Barn for our annual fall family get away. The renovated and recently updated Barn both met and exceeded all of our expectations. We had many activities available to us without ever having to leave the property. The kitchen is very nicely stocked with every appliance you may possibly need. The Barn offers many options for all to sleep very comfortably. The owners are very accommodating and responsive. This is a beautiful property and we look forward to returning for many more family gatherings.

Wonderful Getaway!

Our women's fellowship group had our second retreat in The Barn; we made the reservation last year immediately after staying there. We have already booked for next year. The Barn is spacious, well equipped, with room to spread out or to gather. There are plenty of comfortable beds with extra blankets, pillows, linens, etc. The accommodations hold a group well. The Barn was very clean and well decorated, and Rich and Lisa are very responsive if needed. There was a family group staying in in the nearby home, "The Retreat," but we had plenty of parking and room. We didn't bother each other. We highly recommend The Barn for a gathering such as ours or a family reunion. Combined, the two properties would be perfect for a larger reunion or friends' gathering. The early spring weather didn't allow for spending much time outdoors, but it would be wonderful in the summer. All in all, our group loves "The Barn." We ate one dinner at Welshfield Inn and highly recommend that, too.

Teen Girls Retreat 2025

This is our second retreat at The Barn. The owners are accommodating and very nice. Easy to book and just enough communication with details. A nice welcome area with water and snacks on arrival. Kitchen is stocked with every appliance you need. Games, movies, multiple lounge areas, basketball/pickleball court. A cozy fire pit area with picnic tables nearby to eat or play games. Kayaks and paddleboat for the lake. The Barn has been perfect for us and our group of teen girls. The place is comfy and welcoming as soon as we walk in the door. Areas to eat, have Bible study and learn, activities, enjoy outdoors, movie time... If you are looking for a relaxing place, then I would not hesitate to book here.

Fun family stay

Eleven sisters and we stayed for 3 nights. The house was clean, well stocked with plenty of beds for everyone. We had paddle boards and used the kayaks. Fun game room. Plenty of room to play cards. We made trips to Cuyahoga and did some hiking at Brandywine Falls and the Ledges. Also went to Nelson Kennedy Ledges, farther east, great hiking there also. I contacted Lisa several times and got a quick response. We are thinking we may go back.
