Shawnee Wine Trail Farm Stay

Unwind at The Barn Bunkie, just 5 minutes from I-57, Blue Sky Vineyard, and Shawnee Bluffs Canopy Tours. Perfect for exploring the Shawnee Wine Trail and National Forest, enjoy mornings with our rooster, watch horses graze, and savor our freshly roasted coffee. Your ideal base for hiking and wine tasting awaits!

(Beware, the rooster, goats, and dogs will make sure you catch the sunrise, seriously, you won’t need an alarm clock! It’s an authentic farm stay!)

With everything you need (minimalist kitchen, dining, full bathroom, queen bed & fold out twin, peace, & quiet), and nothing you don’t (clutter, WiFi, television), the Barn Bunkie offers you a front seat to idyllic farm life nestled in the Shawnee National Forest.

A quaint little Bunk House on a farm. Nice view near the horse pasture, horses, goats, dogs, and cats. Lovely small raised bed tomato garden next to the cabin. I would definitely stay again.

A very easy and delightful stay. Everything was very comfortable and clean. Loved getting to watch the horses graze, have the company of a sweet cat on the porch, and the occasional visit from one of the friendly dogs. Great spot to watch the sunset and then see moon light the field. The coffee was so good, too! Air conditioning worked perfectly when needed.

Bunkalicious!

It was absolutely perfect and I do not say that easily. I give l where appropriate but everything here was fantastic. The hosts were great. We were even invited to see their personalized fireworks display. The property is beautiful and we were surrounded by amazing animals: horses, goats, the friendliest dogs on earth and a spritely cat.We will be passing through again later in the week and we've booked another cabin. That says it all.
