Countryside Retreat: Your Nature Escape

Welcome to Your Retreat at the Little Barn on Oostema Farmstead

Discover the charm of the Little Barn, an idyllic retreat for those who appreciate the outdoors while enjoying the comforts of a cozy cabin. Nestled on the scenic Oostema Farmstead, this barn is your gateway to a unique adventure, offering the comfort of solid walls and a warm roof overhead without the chill of the colder months.

Upon entering, you'll find yourself enveloped in a rustic cabin atmosphere, featuring a plush queen bed and a wall heater for your comfort. This setup is perfect for traveling light, allowing you to immerse yourself in the stunning landscapes and pastoral beauty just outside your door. We encourage you to bring your own sleeping bag or bedding to enhance this glamping experience, though the barn is thoughtfully equipped with all the essentials you need.

Step outside, and the tranquility of our 117-acre farmstead welcomes you. Home to wagyu cows and other friendly farm animals, you have the opportunity to explore the property or enjoy serene moments by your private fire pit.
