Welcome to The Red Barn Retreat! We are so excited for you to come visit our peaceful place. The barn was built in the early 1800’s and we completed its renovation in 2014 and an upgrade in 2020 to include air conditioning in the whole barn and new reclining leather couches. It is very special to our family and we hope it will be for you as well! It is a wonderful spot to relax and refresh and make lasting memories. The space The downstairs of the barn has a bathroom, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, hot plate, and coffee pot. There is a beautiful propane fireplace and a small sitting area. This room can double as a second bedroom with foam floor mattresses available in the upstairs closet. The upstairs of the barn has a farm table with benches, exercise equipment, sitting area, theatre, and a large propane fireplace. During the school months, we use the downstairs of the barn for the Red Barn Music Studio one day a week. You will have access to both floors of the barn. Guest access We have two Amish-built authentic barn wood bed frames on the comfortable full-size beds to accommodate four people. There is also an extra foam double mattress and a single mattress and a pack and play that can be placed downstairs in the music studio area or wherever you would like. Just keep in mind that there is only one bathroom. In the upstairs, we really enjoy our “theatre” – with the screen, projector, and surround sound. Although we do not have a TV, we have free Wi-Fi, so feel free to watch Netflix (on your account) and/or any of the DVD’s that are in the wardrobe! There are also board games, puzzles, adult and children coloring supplies and books, a dress-up closet, and various fun toys for kids! On the opposite side of the theatre, we have a little gym where the beds are also located. In this area we have exercise equipment – a universal weight station, Schwinn Air-dyne stationary bike, a treadmill, and free weights. These are all available for you to use at your own risk and we just ask that you refrain from allowing children under the age of 13 to use them. A game table that can be made into a Ping Pong table, air hockey, pool table, and table football is also available for you to use. Other things to note There is a refrigerator, microwave, toaster, hot plate and a Keurig coffee maker downstairs. Towels and washcloths are under the bathroom sink. A storage closet in the bathroom houses an ironing board and iron, extra towels, toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags, and cleaning supplies. We also have creamer, bottled water, and some extra goodies available. A private door with a keyless entry provides easy accessibility. Please park next to the wood pile close to the back alley and away from our garage entrance. Since our garage is attached to the barn, you may hear us come and go, and it will be helpful if you park as close to the barn as possible so we can get by your vehicle without disturbing you. If you have more than one vehicle, we ask that the second vehicle be parked on Market Street – the main street in front of our house. We hope you choose to stay with us and will return soon!
