The converted barn & its two guest houses (up to fifteen people in summer, twelve in winter) date back to 1873. Traces of its past, as a dairy barn, getaway and artistic outlet, can still be felt today. The details of this property have been described as “other-worldly” & lend many different textures both indoor and out for photo and video shoots, and mainly for a perfect friends & family reunion. The European influence can be seen today all over the property, especially in its more eccentric details–like the giant, tiled soaking tub in the basement, intricately etched window-doors between rooms, beautifully tiled marble floor or the nude bas relief in the master bath. In the entrance, stained glass pocket doors open to the fully equipped chef’s kitchen. In the open-format living room, the barn’s enormous doors open up to a bluestone patio, connecting the inside and outside. Outside, the nostalgic European influence continues in the landscaping choice of cypress trees. A short walk from the barn, resembles the Moon Shack, perched several feet above the ground . Not to be confused with the actual treehouse welcoming us at the entrance of the property. The second guesthouse (Milk Shack), which hugs the barn, is a studio-like renovated milk-shed equipped with a shower and sink. The interiors of the barn and its guest houses were facelifted with a blend of vintage and contemporary furniture and fixtures, both found and custom. Finally, music and sound are major players here. A vintage sound system is complemented by a perfect vinyl selection. Acoustic guitars hanged on many of the walls and a drum kit are available. A full wall projector allows for cozy movie nights as well. In winter, only the main house is for rent and can accommodate 7 people. Rates and cleaning fee may vary depending on the shacks and pond glampers usage. Guest access The whole property is open to guests but some restrictions may apply for safety purpose. Shacks and glampers are closed in the coldest month with the possibility to have access to the heated shacks when weather allows it. Extra cleaning fee will apply. Other things to note The house and its surrounding are not child-proof. Beach towels and picnic blankets are provided. For firepits: please provide your own firewood by purchasing at a local store, or foraging on the property (only downed and dead wood, please!).
