The space
Amenities & Key Information:
THE BARN is a spacious and serene retreat thoughtfully designed for rest, connection, and comfort. Overlooking wide pastureland and the flowing river below, this beautifully appointed home invites guests to unwind in peaceful surroundings. A private hot tub rests beneath a canopy of mature trees on the lower deck — the perfect spot for soaking under the stars.
Inside, the home features two private bedrooms with queen beds, plus an informal loft-style sleeping area with a twin trundle/bunk bed, softly enclosed by privacy curtains suspended from a natural branch. This whimsical, treehouse-inspired nook is especially beloved by children and the young at heart. (Please note: This sleeping area is more open than a standard bedroom and shares a bathroom with the adjacent upstairs bedroom, though it does have its own direct entry.)
Step outside onto one of several decks to enjoy mountain air, sunrise yoga, or quiet birdwatching. Outdoor dining and grilling areas are available for those who wish to enjoy meals in nature. Don't forget your binoculars — the birdlife here is abundant.
THE BARN comfortably accommodates up to 6 guests.
Laundry Use Guidelines:
Guests at THE BARN have access to a dedicated outdoor laundry area, located to the left of the front door next to the office. To allow our housekeeping staff access mid-day, we kindly ask that you use the laundry only between 6:00 AM – 10:00 AM or after 4:00 PM.
In colder months, please use caution as the stepping stones can become icy. The lockbox code will be provided in your check-in instructions. Once you’ve finished, kindly remove clothes promptly, turn off the light, return the key to the lockbox, and scramble the code.

Safety & Property Use Guidelines:
Please be advised: a main acequia (irrigation channel) runs near the parking area and often carries fast-moving water during irrigation season. The property also includes hot tubs and river access, which can present safety hazards, especially for young children. Guests are solely responsible for their own safety and that of any minors in their care.
Guests are welcome to explore the grounds south of the main house, down to the river. For your safety, please stay on the path when walking down to the river. The riverside is an excellent spot for picnicking, reading, or simply enjoying nature. The property terrain includes uneven ground and partially concealed ditches that may pose tripping hazards so please be careful where you walk.
By accessing and using the property, guests acknowledge and accept all inherent risks associated with water features, wildlife, and uneven natural terrain.

Important Safety Notice & Guest Guidelines
Please be aware that a main acequia (irrigation ditch) runs alongside the property near the parking area. This ditch is often full of water and may pose a hazard, especially to young children. Additionally, there are hot tubs and a fast-flowing river on the property that also present potential safety risks. Guests assume all responsibility for their safety and the safety of any minors in their care. Children must be supervised at all times.
Guests are welcome to explore the grounds south of the main house down to the river. Please remain on the path and use caution, as there are narrow, partially hidden irrigation ditches in the grassy areas that may cause tripping or injury. By entering and using the property, guests acknowledge and accept any and all risks associated with outdoor terrain and natural water features.
To preserve the peaceful and restorative nature of this experience, we do not allow loud music, parties, or disruptive behavior. Please respect the privacy and space of other guests at all times.
This property is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including raccoons, skunks, coyotes, deer, owls, raptors, and songbirds. Please enjoy them from a distance and do not attempt to feed or approach them.
We strive to offer a sanctuary for guests seeking relaxation, inspiration, and a deep connection with nature. Group bookings of all three accommodations — The Treehouse, The Barn, and The Loft — are welcomed for family gatherings or small retreats. We also accommodate long-term stays, and can suggest nearby lodging options if your group exceeds our capacity.
By staying on this property, guests agree to release the property owners and managers from any liability for injuries, accidents, or losses that may occur during their stay, whether in the accommodations or on the grounds.
