Beautiful!

Quick Hikes within a mile of the home, we have Shoemaker Nature Preserve. Five miles from our home is Chalet Nivale, Arc of Appalachia--shaded hollows, vertical cliffs, rare plants, carved out by two of Ohio's cleanest streams. Both are easier excellent hikes. Fort Hill is a hike through a mature forest to the top of the ridge where a 2000 yr-old mystery of the Hopewell culture awaits. Hike more intense Buzzard's Roost, or check out the Arc of Appalachia's site for more challenging hikes. Or simply stay at the cozy cabin; you're likely to see deer and wild turkeys! Come out and Relax!!!

Peaceful family vacation

Our family had a wonderful vacation at the red barn !! It had everything we needed and more . Relaxing evenings on the porch and by the firepit . Fishing in the pond was perfect for the kids they caught lots of bluegill. We made delicious dinners on the grill and smores by the fire . The privacy/secluded area was perfect for our family to get some quality time together . Even our youngest had a blast playing on her playpin on the front porch . The weather was perfect and the hosts were wonderful 😊 would definitely return & recommend to others .

Relaxing in nature

We’ve been to many cabins but the Red Barn is by far the most well stocked rental we have ever been to. Anything you could need was already made available. We brought our own metal sticks for the fire pit to make marshmallows for s’mores but that was really the only thing that was needed. The furniture and beds were very comfortable and there was enough seating for our family of four. The surrounding nature was beautiful. We woke one morning to a family of deer by the pond, multiple bunnies and birds, and even saw a blue tailed skink. We fished in the pond multiple times and managed to catch quite a few bluegill. There are nearby attractions as well such as Serpent Mound and Family Traditions Animal Adventures which our kids loved. Deb was very communicative and responsive to any questions we had. Thanks so much for a lovely long weekend!

Wonderful getaway

We chose this place because of its proximity to serpent mounds and because it is beautiful. The pictures do not do it justice. The barn is beautiful. It was the largest master bedroom we have stayed in and the alcove for our son to sleep in was perfect. The pond was frozen over from the recent blizzard but ironically enough it was almost 70 degrees. So we were able to sit outside on the porch, have a bonfire, lay in the hammock and explore the woods. Next time we will try to fish:) It was a great trip all around and the host sends very clear directions on how to enter the place prior which was helpful do to the spotty cell service.

Perfect for the Holiday Weekend!

Originally from Peebles, so this cabin tucked away in the woods was PERFECT for our return for the holidays. The cabin had everything you need and more (ie toiletries). The gas fireplace was a nice touch and was much needed for the snowy weekend in Southern Ohio.

Awesome!

Our family had a great time at the Red Barn! We were there in early spring so even though it was cold, we enjoyed the fishing pond, walking in the woods, the corn hole game on the beautiful porch, and the fire pit! Our baby relaxed on the rug in front of the fire, our teenager loved the sleeping nook, and our six year old had a great time with the games provided. The bath and shower were fabulous and the whole place was perfectly modern yet rustic. The hosts were great and informed us that we would have everything we needed and they were not wrong! We had plans to visit the Amish market and surrounding attractions but honestly we never left the property because it was so cozy and lovely. Thank you so much for letting us rent this barn, we will be back for sure!🖤

About the host

Hosted by Deb & Lee Giles

Host profile image
We wanted to offer people the experience of a unique, relaxing retreat in the country, so we built this place in one of the most beautiful places in Ohio! Located in Adams County, at the base of Tener Mountain! We wanted something different, so my husband came up with the idea to build "The Red Barn!" Amish-built in 2015.

Why they chose this property

We wanted to offer a unique experience to vacationers, and so came up with the idea of a barn vacation rental. Looks like a barn on the outside, but has brand-new full amenities on the inside!! You don't have to be "born in a barn" to vacation in one!

What makes this property unique

Situated in a private setting in the forest, overlooking a pond - what more could you ask for??? Sit back and relax on the covered front porch; enjoy cozy evenings by the gas fireplace in the living room. Build a campfire, and fish in your own acreage--catfish, bass and bluegill are ready. Play corn hole or go for a hike in beautiful Brush Creek Forest. Stargaze by the firepit. It's your private retreat! Or there's plenty to go and do if you so desire. Enjoy!!
