Our Little Barn is your gateway to a seamless outdoor adventure, blending the spirit of camping with the cozy comforts of home.
Nestled in the tranquil Oostema Farmstead, our delightful barn provides an idyllic escape for those who cherish the idea of camping but prefer the warmth of solid walls and a roof overhead. Enjoy a snug stay, shielded from unpredictable weather while remaining connected to the beautiful nature just outside your door.
Step inside, and you'll be enveloped by a rustic cabin atmosphere, featuring a plush bed and a portable heater to keep you warm on cool evenings. This setup allows you to travel light, focusing on what truly matters—immersing yourself in the serenity and splendor of your surroundings. While we recommend bringing your own sleeping bag or bedding for an authentic glamping experience, you’ll find that our room comes equipped with all the essentials.
Venture outdoors, and the enchantment of the farmstead awaits you. Explore our expansive 117 acres, home to wagyu cows, chickens, pigs, and sprawling raspberry fields. Whether you're meandering through the countryside or enjoying a peaceful moment by your private firepit, the farm offers countless opportunities to connect with nature.
And when you're ready to explore further, the charming towns of Lynden and Bellingham are just a short drive away, brimming with delightful shops, eateries, and cafes.
At Oostema Farmstead, we appreciate the allure of the outdoors and understand the challenges that come with traditional camping. That’s why we’ve crafted a space that offers the best of both worlds. If you’re seeking to experience nature without the hassle of pitching a tent, we warmly welcome you to stay with us.
