The home can be reached from most parts of the St. Louis metropolitan area in about an hour or less.

The home was designed to look like an old time barn. It was completed in 2008 with many amazing details that make it truly unique! It provides awesome views of rolling farmland and the cliffs of Pierre Marquette State Park to the north and longtime family farmsteads to the south.

Sleeping 4 guests, with a 2 night minimum. The Barn House features high vaulted ceilings.

Kitchen and main living spaces are located upstairs on the second floor. The views from the second floor windows and decks are amazing!!

The home features a full kitchen that includes; refrigerator/freezer, electric glass cooktop range with double oven, microwave, dish washer, clothes washer and dryer and a full compliment of cooking pots, pans, utensils, etc.

The master bedroom features a queen bed with matching dressers and chests.

Once you are moved in you can enjoy a quiet drive through Calhoun County with several restaurants and bars and of course the incredible views! Visits to Old Town St. Charles, MO with its many restaurants and shops and Grafton, IL with its unique riverfront restaurants, shops and marina can be made in less than 30 minutes. Fall is a great time to take a drive down the Great River Road to see the turning of the trees. Winter months are great for Eagle Watching & Christmas stroll in Old Town St. Charles . Springtime is great to do some hiking in Pere Marquette & check out the wineries in the area. Summer everything is in bloom and The Grafton Harbor has boats to rent or jet ski's , Not to mention the Aries zip line, and winery with great views!

All guests must register their names for their stay. Any unexpected guests will be charged $25. per night per guest and will be deducted from their security deposit.

Some of the pictures of the barn house include peach trees surrounding the barn. The trees are reaching the end of their useful productive life span. This year it appears we will have some peaches! Our guests are more then welcome to pick some while they are staying at the BARN. Please be kind and just take what you can eat and save for our next guests. In the future we hope to have a variety of fruit trees for all season's. Keep in mind if you have to "tug" on them, they are not ready yet. Keep checking, some ripen before others!

Calhoun County is famous for peaches and there are numerous farms nearby that have excellent farm stands.
