The house is beautiful and comfortable, with numerous amenities. It sits on a huge property with plenty of solitude (only 2 neighbors within sight and cows can be heard mooing in the distance.) It's not far from the free ferry over to Grafton, Pere Marquette and the Great River road, or the fee-ferry over to St. Charles (and their historic landing there with quaint shops). It was really the perfect place to get away for a couple of nights. It was a bit windy while we were there, which had us spending more time in the game room one night than outside, which was fine. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. ##### Geoff P. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marcy W. 14 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Very clean, kitchen has everything you could possibly need. The host had many added personal touches like a hand written welcome note and banana bread waiting for us upon arrival. Host also messaged the day of arrival telling us the place was ready for us and we could check in early if we’d like (without us even asking for an early check in). It was so nice to be able to take advantage of the early check in! Will definitely be back. ##### Marcy W.

We were going to grafton for the winery’s and the park. Staying here was perfect for us. The drive to grafton wasn’t very far at all. I loved being out in the middle of no where and away from everything. The stay was just what we needed. The hot tub was great and the ability to use the grill was nice for a meal instead of having to eat out both nights. What you see in the pictures is what it is in person. Very clean and spacious. Susan was wonderful to work with. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark F. 6 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing panoramic views Amazing panoramic views.

The Barn was a perfect getaway location for our long weekend. The pictures really don't do justice. We didn't come across anything that we thought could have been "needed". Love that your neighbor's dog came to visit both evenings in the hot tub. We will definitely be back for another stay. Thank you for sharing your property. ##### Thomas J M.

Being in the middle of rolling hills and fields, the scenery is absolutely beautiful. The house is VERY clean and has everything you need. The kitchen is loaded with pots and pans, utensils, and even spices and condiments. Tons of extra towels and extra soaps and shampoos are in the bathrooms. Beautifully decorated, it is a totally complete household. With the hot tub outside, 2 decks for bird watching, a pool table in the man cave and games, puzzles and Bluetooth, all you need to bring is your food, and you don’t have to leave for anything. We had such a peaceful, relaxing visit, we will definitely be coming back again. Susan was always in contact with me, making sure we didn’t need anything. We definitely give this place an A.
