My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our getaway here. THE BARN was warm and welcoming and we all felt comfortable and relaxed right away. We were impressed by all that the kitchen and pantry had to offer as there wasn’t a thing that “we wished we brought from home.” We would gladly stay here again.

My friends and I have stayed at this property 2 times now and both times have been great. The area is beautiful and secluded but still close to Grafton and St. Charles by ferry. Great communication with the owner. It's beautiful in the fall with all the autumn colors. Will definitely rent again!

The Barn was just a short drive from the city but it felt like a world away. The ferry ride, rolling hills, farms, and landscape really make this area a special place to visit. The Barn is very well described and presented on the website. We couldn't have asked for better weather during our stay. The decks and patio are perfect place to soak up the countryside views and listen to nature. The hot tub worked perfectly and we enjoyed the star gazing from it. The house had everything that we needed for our stay. Susan living us fresh flowers and baked goods was a welcome surprise. We highly recommend staying at the Barn and look forward to coming back! Thanks Susan
