Guests consistently describe this stay as peaceful and relaxing, and many are repeat visitors
The Granary is a unique and spacious home. Set on a small farm, it was converted from barn to cottage in the late 1990's. Pets are allowed (for fee) and our dog and cats may stop by to visit. Great for families visiting home, or looking for a place to get away. Great for travelers visiting the Gilboa Quarry. No parties or events per AirBNB policy.

From the host

We are located in the country, just south east of Ottawa, less than 6 miles away from the Gilboa Quarry. There are several options for dining in Ottawa and neighboring towns, as well as bars, wineries, and boutique shops. Chances are you will be greeted by our dog, Bandit, in the driveway, and may catch a view of the cats running around the property, or the cows in the pasture.

I live on a hobby farm in Ohio with my husband and three kids, but I love getting away, discovering new places, being outdoors, eating great food, drinking great drinks, and listening to great music.
