Welcome to "The Barnhouse" - a charming, century-old barn we've lovingly transformed into a small house that blends rustic charm with modern comforts. Whether you're visiting Colgate, or seeking a writer's retreat or just a chance to unplug and bask in the serenity of a converted barn, The Barnhouse is your ideal sanctuary. The space Inside, you'll find a comfortable bedroom with a queen bed, adorned with a headboard made from the original barn door. The open living room and kitchen area feature a pull-out queen couch, smart TV, corner desk, and high-speed Wi-Fi. The well-equipped kitchen has a refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, and microwave, and includes all the essentials, from a Keurig, French press, coffee pot, and blender to numerous pots, pans, and more. You'll find the kitchen stocked with oils, spices, condiments, coffee - regular and decaf - tea, creamers and other items you made need during your stay. In the bathroom, the unique shower has a rainfall faucet and walls made from galvanized roofing. You shouldn't have to bring much as we provide shampoo, conditioner, facial soap, and lotion as well as items you may have left behind - Q-tips, razors, emery boards, etc. The white-painted concrete floors, white walls, and large windows really brighten up the space and give it a fresh and open feel. Accessibility is a priority, with a ramp, no interior steps, and wide doors for all guests. In summer, we provide an air conditioner, and during winter, three thermostats ensure comfort in the living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. Step outside onto the spacious deck to enjoy the tranquil surroundings. Explore the nearby stream or gather around the fire pit in the evenings for memorable moments. Snow mobile trails are right across the street and through the field next door if that interests you. For larger groups, we also have a beautiful Farmhouse on the property next door. It sleeps 10 and can be booked separately or together with the Barnhouse. And, our other home, Raider Retreat, is only 5 miles away and 3 miles from Colgate. You can search for the houses or message us for more information. Guest access You'll have access to the entire Barnhouse and we'll provide a door code so you can come and go as you please. There is a separate gravel driveway for parking next to the house. You can pull right up to the ramp, if needed. Other things to note We require a 2-night minimum booking on all weekends and special dates. If you are interested in just one night on a weekend, we may be able to accommodate you depending on the time of year. Send us a message. The Barnhouse has a backyard as well as a side yard with a deck and fire pit. The Farmhouse next door is separate and has its own yard and fire pit. Please be respectful of our guests staying at the Farmhouse by utilizing the Barnhouse yard and keeping the noise down at night and early mornings. You are welcome to walk across the adjacent yard to the stream.
