Our Little Barn is your answer to a hassle-free outdoor experience, combining the essence of camping with the comforts of home.
• Nestled within the serene Oostema Farmstead, our charming barn offers the perfect retreat for those who love the idea of camping but prefer to leave their tent at home. With solid walls and a roof overhead, you're assured a cozy stay, protected from the whims of the weather while still feeling connected to the natural world outside your door.
• Inside, the rustic cabin ambiance envelops you, featuring a comfortable bed and a portable heater to ward off the evening chill. This means you can pack light, focusing on what truly matters – immersing yourself in the tranquility and beauty of your surroundings. While we suggest bringing your own sleeping bag or bedding for a true glamping experience, you'll find the convenience of a room equipped with the essentials.
• Step outside, and the magic of the farmstead unfolds before you. Explore our 117 acres, home to wagyu cows, chickens, pigs, and vast raspberry fields. Whether you're strolling through the countryside or enjoying a quiet moment by your private firepit, the farm offers endless opportunities to connect with nature.
• And when you're ready to venture further, the nearby towns of Lynden and Bellingham await with their charming shops, eateries, and cafes.
At Oostema Farmstead, we understand the allure of the outdoors and the challenges that come with traditional camping. That's why we've created a space that offers the best of both worlds. So, if you're looking to experience the great outdoors without the hassle of a tent, we warmly invite you to stay with us.
