Loved our stay at the barn. Great location right by Lake Garfield beach and close to great hiking trails. Note that (as mentioned in the listing) cooking is limited to a grill, but that wasn’t an issue during our stay. Would stay again!

It was a short getaway trip for me and my two adult offspring, to laugh, reminisce, and just relax. Mission accomplished!The Barn was a perfect place for all of the above, and Jaryn was very responsive and easy to work with. Ty
