3,100 sqft restored barn w/authentic Rustic Décor, Furnished for Fun, Grassy Fields, Inside: Game Room, High Ceilings, Open Flow, Lg Windows & Rooms

We live just down the road and work on the property in our spare time. We and our team handle the maintenance and management with as little interruption to guests as possible. Routine outdoor maintenance for the 40 acre property is typically scheduled after 10am for lawn, pond, hot tub, firewood, etc. Hot tub maintenance is communicated with guests in advance. .

We are in a rural location with plenty of space between neighbors. Even with space, sound can travel. We ask that you be considerate especially after 10pm. While the barn is set back from the road by over 300ft, you can still hear some light traffic noise from the front porch occasionally. Across the driveway is a separate short term rental, Evergreen Retreat, another amazing property from Gatheryng. The only shared amenities are the sport court, the fishing dock behind the sports court, and the trash cans by the driveway.

The Barn is set off from the road, with a long driveway leading to a large parking area that can easily fit a 15 cars. Park in front of The Barn on the gravel by split rail fence or on the concrete pad. the long driveway is shared with the property across the driveway, Evergreen Retreat, another amazing property by Gatheryng. Both properties have separate & ample parking for about 15 cars.

For a large group like ours, it makes for the perfect location for us to come together and laugh…share…. play games…cook…. And be together in a beautiful open floorplan! Thank you Lisa and Rich for all your attention to details during our stay at The Barn this year… And we look forward to returning again next year❤️

Teen Girls Retreat 2025

This is our second retreat at The Barn. The owners are accommodating and very nice. Easy to book and just enough communication with details. A nice welcome area with water and snacks on arrival. Kitchen is stocked with every appliance you need. Games, movies, multiple lounge areas, basketball/pickleball court. A cozy fire pit area with picnic tables nearby to eat or play games. Kayaks and paddleboat for the lake. The Barn has been perfect for us and our group of teen girls. The place is comfy and welcoming as soon as we walk in the door. Areas to eat, have Bible study and learn, activities, enjoy outdoors, movie time... If you are looking for a relaxing place, then I would not hesitate to book here.

Love The Barn!

My women’s fellowship group spent a retreat weekend here for the third year in a row. With 15 or more attendees, we need the space. We love the Barn’s layout, space, sleeping accommodations, and amenities. Owners Rich and Lisa are extremely responsive and communicative. The home is very clean, and each year, some upgrade has been made. A basement level bathroom is slated for this year, which will be a welcome addition. We’ve only been there in the winter but can easily imagine how wonderful the Barn would be for a family reunion or other gathering in warmer weather.

Family Fun

This was our third visit to The Barn. We celebrate all of our kids’ 30th birthdays here. We will be back in February for number four. We love that it is clean, accommodates so many people and we can bring our dogs. When we travel, we watch each others’ dogs, so bringing all of them makes it so special. Lisa and Rich are amazing and good, kind people.

Best cabin we’ve stayed at!

We do an annual cabin getaway with friends each year. This property is hands down the nicest, cleanest, overall best cabin we’ve been to. The hosts were so thoughtful with the amenities and were great to work with. Would highly recommend this cabin to anyone and we look forward to staying again in the future.

Fun family stay

Eleven sisters and we stayed for 3 nights. The house was clean, well stocked with plenty of beds for everyone. We had paddle boards and used the kayaks. Fun game room. Plenty of room to play cards. We made trips to Cuyahoga and did some hiking at Brandywine Falls and the Ledges. Also went to Nelson Kennedy Ledges, farther east, great hiking there also. I contacted Lisa several times and got a quick response. We are thinking we may go back.

Amazing place

This was our 3rd time staying here and the place is better every time! There was something for everyone, and the ramp and grab bars were very helpful in accommodating family with limited mobility. We caught fish, played pickle ball, kayaked, played games at the large table, and enjoyed the fire pit, and the comfortable beds. Rich and Lisa are so helpful and kind. We highly recommend staying at the Barn and we are looking forward to our next visit!

Perfect for families

The Barn is an incredible place for families of all ages. We had a group of 20 people ranging from four years old to 90. The owners have put their heart and soul into making this into a comfortable and beautiful place to stay. It was quiet, and felt secluded and serene, even though located near a relatively busy road. The kids loved swimming and fishing, the older adults loved being able to be close by the lake with plenty of comfortable seating. The owners are great to work with. The only things we would have liked but weren't there were a juicer (which the owner is now getting) and an outside faucet. We can't recommend this place enough!
