The Barn Owl | Pond, Trails & Pickleball for 2

YOUR TINY CABIN AT THE EDGE OF THE WOODS

YOUR PRIVATE BATHROOM

OUTSIDE

Relax on your private porch or in your hammock, eat at your picnic table, and spend the evening around the fire pit. The ranch has a pond, wooded trails for a quiet hike, and a community pickleball court.



MEET TITO

You might meet Tito, our friendly black cat mascot. He loves greeting guests and keeps the critters away.

GOOD TO KNOW

- The bathroom is in the bathhouse, about 200 ft from your cabin. It’s private and keyed, but it isn’t attached to the cabin.

- The Barn Owl is one of four cabins on the ranch, so you may see other guests at the fire pit, trails, pond and pickleball court.

- There’s no full kitchen: just a mini fridge, microwave and Keurig. A grill is available for outdoor cooking.

-There’s a Ring camera over the parking lot. There are no cameras inside the cabins or bathhouse.

-The cabin has a few steps up to the porch.

- You’re out in the country, so bugs and critters are part of the scenery.

PACK THESE
