What a perfect place. It has everything you need to be comfortable. The fenced in yard was perfect for our dogs. The bed is a firm memory foam. The kitchen has everything you need and they had Keurig pods for coffee. We'll definitely be back.

House was perfect-kitchen was well stocked (we like to cook at Vrbos) bedroom/bathroom were clean and comfortable. One note-I would recommend a couple/few simple chairs for the patio. The backyard is such a nice space, a place to sit and enjoy would be great.

We had a wonderful stay at the Barn. We even extended it a day. The property is lovely. Clean and comfortable. Very well equipped. It has a great backyard space if you are travelling with your pup. So close to Longwood Gardens & the town of Kennett Square which is why we were there. Kristin is a very responsive owner. On our last morning our dog Sasha got away and Kristin was kind enough to come over and help us look for her She was the one who found her in a neighbors yard. We hope to stay again if we visit the area.

Modern and Cozy barn

Very clean and modern barn. Updated kitchen and bath. Our pup liked the private fenced in yard. We enjoyed the private patio. I enjoyed the real creamer for our morning coffee, not the powder! Only complaint is the sectional sofa, too difficult to get in and out of, especially for us who are close to 70 years old. Host Kristin was very responsive to any questions or concerns we had. Overall, it was an excellent place to stay for us to visit family.

We had a lovely time at the barn. Gorgeous place with a nice yard for our dog to run around in; spacious and so comfortable. A couple of outdoor seating areas placed just right. A stone's throw from Longwood Gardens and Kennett Square. Thoughtful amenities and excellent communication. We had an issue with the AC (too cold) and had a hard time adjusting it. We contacted Kristin about it and she responded immediately with instructions from the installer which fixed the issue right away. The barn is adorable. Will definitely be back.
