The West Barn is an industrial Morton style barn that has been brought back to life as an industrial, yet cozy living space. Green is what gives us Hygge in the West Barn, so you will find sprinkles of green decor throughout. I've heard a range of feedback describing the space including "eclectic, historic and vintage all at the same time", to "old world European feel". We want your initial reaction to be OMG & immediately learn the meaning of hygge when you arrive.
Thermal glass paned garage doors make up the entire East view- making for exceptional sunrises everyday! You pick- doors up or down! On a warm day, it's a treat to have the doors up for an open air concept.
The view of the East lawn also leads to the pasture where you will more often than not, find our farm animal friends grazing! You may greet them at the gate with a slice of bread (one per day, please!) and they will soon become your bff's...
Our other animal's reside on the North side of the property in the animal barn and are happy to nibble on your compost or any other vegetarian snacks you offer them!
The ladies at the Chick-INN will provide you with fresh eggs daily + the garden beds are bountiful during the garden season (seasonal)!
Additional animal experiences are available - see website for details.
The dining & living areas face out to the east and are filled with unique vintage finds from all over Western NY! Upcycled windows and doors make up the living room accent wall- giving opportunity for the perfect photo ops. The vintage green trunk has games for a rainy day & the island is stocked with cookbooks if you prefer to find a new favorite recipe while away!
Chefs kitchen!! Modern top of the line Kitchen aid appliances, along with a fully stocked kitchen make for preparing meals while staying a breeze! The dreamy floating shelves, kitchen island, counter tops and sink bases were all hand made by an area craftsman.
Behind the giant yellow barn doors you will find the laundry room- you are welcome to utilize this during your stay as needed- detergent and softener is always fully stocked.
A Television is provided- there are not local channels or cable- but it is a smart TV, so you can utilize our Netflix account, or your own if that is your preference.

The North bedroom features a king bed with down bedding and a loft sitting area! The loft has seating for two and also provides a 'lofty' view into the living room and allows the morning sun into the room. It's the perfect space for some quiet time or getting cozy with your favorite book!
The West bedroom includes a lifted queen bed and gives you all the shabby chic vibes you could ever want! Sliding vintage green doors open into a private bathroom that showcases a large green glass tile shower with double shower heads and a deep basin sink. Our 1900's Apothecary cabinet also makes it's home in this bathroom. Turn on the provided essential oil diffuser, close your eyes and transport yourself right to the spa! Plush towels provided.
The main bathroom is across the hall from the king suite and is the communal restroom of the place. This bathroom features the most amazing 13' door. While 13' does not sound like much, wait until you see it in person and you literally need to tip your head back to see the top! The door was custom made by a local expert craftsman, after my husband had the wild idea of NEEDING a 13' door- it's perfect! This bathroom features a soaking tub with provided bubble bath, along with two 12" rainfall shower heads nestled into the "wet area"- which in our case translates into an incredibly large shower! You won't find another like it! Plush towels & bathroom joke book provided.
The view- unmatched amazing views of the Letchworth Highbanks' every season of the year. If you do nothing else during your stay- set your alarm for a sunrise (or request a wake up text). You will be so pleased that you did!
