It's a barn out in the wild
Would any one in my group stay here again? Probably not. One family that stayed with us (although a little high strung) left a day early because their child and them could not sleep well due to the soft bed and the ac not working well. fine for the rest of us for the most part but not something you expect from a highly rated rental. Their main issue as well as everyone elses was that aside from the master br and 2 bathrooms in the back, the main living area and all other bedrooms run warm. The front most bedroom ac wall unit did not work well. The two open ceiling rooms with bunk beds on the other side have no ac directed in to those rooms and only have a ceiling fan. Main living room when we first checked in was extremely hot in the 80s. Host stated they forgot to turn on the ac and because it was the hottest time of the day to just bear with it... Second day was a little better but still warm. There's 4-5+ standing fans for you to use also...so I assume its well known. It's a barn and you should already know that going in. Floor is hard concrete, and although the entire place felt fairly clean, because it was a barn and had that rustic feel it also didn't feel clean at the same time... definitely did not feel comfortable walking bare footed. Insulation was dangling You will be lucky to have slow internet on your phone and it is dependent on where you are situated in the home. Although wifi is stated as available, we were unable to connect anywhere inside or outside.

Great place to disconnect and fantastic night sky view
My family spent 3 nights for a holiday break at the Barndo and had a great time. With 3 bathrooms, plenty of beds, and large amount of open space and seating for all seven of us, we enjoyed some time away from the holiday shoppers with quiet surroundings and nice night sky visibility. The 6-seater mule was a hit and we explored the grounds daily to see the livestock, ponds, and various deer and birds in the area. The kitchen was well stocked with gear to prep our Thanksgiving meal as well as a large dining table which provided more than enough space for our crew. Unlike most rentals, there is no keurig, just drip machine. Bring a telescope! We had a fantastic view of a meteor shower and had fun playing “spot the starlink satellites” over a campfire with s’mores. Things to keep in mind: I do not say “disconnect” lightly as a description. Internet access is minimal (email and texting access at most via guest WiFi at roughly 4-5Mbps download speed max). I highly suggest downloading offline maps of the area since cell-service is limited to one bar at best, if you have any signal at all. We had some delay to our arrival time and found it very challenging trying to find the front gate after sunset. The same is true if you want to play your own tunes; download your playlists in advance. All of this aside, our stay was a nice break from the all too often social media and news overload. If you really need some TV time, the DirectTV option offers plenty of stations.

Loads of Fun
Our stay was nothing but fun! Too many rides in the pasture to count! Exotics seen on every ride. Fishing provided many fun catches! Swimming, outdoor fire pit with smores, games of pool and foosball. Comfortable indoor living area. Comfortable outdoor seating. Plenty of room for large party to spread out in. Nothing but good to say. Surprised by supplied water, ice and wood! Everyone in our party left talking about wanting to return!

Great time kids!
There was something for everyone, fishing, animals, swimming, tv's. Renting the mule to explore the land and animals was the best. Our grandkids loved it. It is a farm with animals, so bring fly traps for the patio area.
