The Space

The former dairy barn has been transformed into a luxurious yet relaxed guesthouse filled with Belgian lime plaster walls, custom fabrics, vintage details, collected artwork, and one-of-a-kind finishes. The kitchen is fully equipped for simple meals, while the separate bar, dining table, and cozy studio layout make the space especially inviting for couples.

A fire pit and chairs near the pond create the perfect place to relax in the evening, while the ranch's wide-open views make sunset one of the best parts of the stay. Enjoy an evening grilling on the patio as well.
