    DESIGNED FOR THE MOMENTS THAT MATTER

    The best vacations aren’t measured by how many attractions you visit.

    They’re measured by movie nights that turn into conversations, children who don’t want to leave the Game Barn, grandparents joining in around the fire pit and families spending time together without anyone looking at their phones.

    That’s what makes Game Barn Retreat different.

    It’s not simply a house with great amenities.

    It’s a place thoughtfully designed to help people reconnect.

    We look forward to welcoming you to Game Barn Retreat.

A family who needed space, and accessibility

I had a party of 8, two of which were small children and 2 who were elderly, with limited capacity to move around. The house was great and very accessible for my uncle with Parkinson's. It had space and everything else you may needs for a 3 days getaway. It was well equipped and modern. Joanna was a great host, paying attention to details, answering questions promptly, was nice and polite. The house was very clean, along with everything else in it. It was a close drive to a big supermarket, gas station, places to eat, nature trails and other major landmarks around the area. I definitely recommend this house and plan on going back.

Great Getaway Spot

My group enjoyed our stay for a long weekend. House was super clean and easily fit 8 of us. We enjoyed our time hanging out by the pit and shooting pool. Host was easy to communicate with and checked in to see if anything was needed. Would definitely stay again.

Me and some of my friends stayed here this past weekend for a quick birthday celebration and get away. And it was the perfect place. It was amazing. The host was the best host I have ever dealt with. She was very quick to respond to messages and always available. The house was very clean and relaxing. It was very kid friendly with lots of fun activities for the whole family ro enjoy. When arrived it was such a breeze to check in. We arrived and it was so nice to literally walk in place things in the rooms and been able to start enjoying ourselves due to simple rules and clear explanation on how to navigate things. The host did a marvelous job on communicating. I will be staying here again and sharing with friemds and family so they can enjoy this amazing experience.
