We had a fabulous time at the Black Barn.
We had a fabulous time at the Black Barn. The house was spotless, and spacious. It met everyones needs and we all had a really great time. We had three generations in the house for our stay, and it catered to everyone perfectly. We even had Grandma playing Pool!
