We live just down the road and work on the property in our spare time. We and our team handle the maintenance and management with as little interruption to guests as possible. Routine outdoor maintenance for the 40-acre property is typically scheduled after 10 am for lawn, pond, hot tub, firewood, etc. Hot tub maintenance is communicated with guests in advance.

We are in a rural location with plenty of space between neighbors. Even with space, sound can travel. We ask that you be considerate especially after 10pm. While the barn is set back from the road by over 300ft, you can still hear some light traffic noise from the front porch occasionally. Across the driveway is a separate short term rental, Evergreen Retreat, another amazing property from Gatheryng. The only shared amenities are the sport court, the fishing dock behind the sports court, and the trash cans by the driveway.

Fun family stay

Eleven sisters and we stayed for 3 nights. The house was clean, well stocked with plenty of beds for everyone. We had paddle boards and used the kayaks. Fun game room. Plenty of room to play cards. We made trips to Cuyahoga and did some hiking at Brandywine Falls and the Ledges. Also went to Nelson Kennedy Ledges, farther east, great hiking there also. I contacted Lisa several times and got a quick response. We are thinking we may go back.

Back to nature

Our group of 7 enjoyed our 5 night stay at the Barn. The scenery was beautiful. We spent most of our time outdoors at the pond- enjoying the view, kayaking, paddle boating & swimming. The fire pit area offered plenty of seating & view of the pond. We also utilized some of the indoor activities such as the pool table, air hockey & ping pong tables The Barn offered plenty of space for us to spread out & relax and to gather together for meals & games. My Uncle is wheelchair bound & he was able to access the main floor & downstairs recreation areas. The double doors made it easy to navigate his electric wheelchair. The main floor bedroom was spacious & handicap accessible. There was ample space between the floor and bed frame to easily accommodate my uncle’s portable electric hoyer lift. We would definitely stay here again & recommend the Barn to others that utilize lift devices for special needs. Our only suggestion for improvement would be to not have the lawn crew or the driveway workers show up so early. On our last morning of vacation, Both crews showed up bright & early…Making lots of noise. This prevented us from being able to enjoy our final morning outdoors. We suggest you schedule lawn & other work crews to come after check out time. Other than that - we had a wonderful time! & enjoyed the Barn & property! Kind regards, Karen & family

A new Favorite Family Gathering Place!

We stayed at the Barn for our annual fall family get away. The renovated and recently updated Barn both met and exceeded all of our expectations. We had many activities available to us without ever having to leave the property. The kitchen is very nicely stocked with every appliance you may possibly need. The Barn offers many options for all to sleep very comfortably. The owners are very accommodating and responsive. This is a beautiful property and we look forward to returning for many more family gatherings.

Tranquility

We needed a place to stay while they were refinishing our floors. We had a challenge for us because my husband is in a wheelchair and we have 2 dogs. There were very few places that could accommodate both. Fortunately my daughter discovered "the Barn" in her search. The Barn was the perfect place and very peaceful and beautiful. It was very clean and the kitchen was so well equipped with anything you may want. The doorways were perfect for a wheel chair and the bed just the right height. The grounds are gorgeous and our dogs enjoyed that. We also were able to arrive a little earlier which we really appreciated. Thanks for a great getaway.

Love, laughter & leisure!

The Barn at evergreen pond provided the perfect setting for our family reunion. The outdoor setting is lovely, inviting and impeccably maintained without being fussy. There is ample parking space. There is plenty of room for 2 or 3 people to branch out and enjoy an activity indoors without becoming too loud. There are well intentioned areas of seating that encourage conversation as well as places to get some alone time to read, etc. The communal dining areas allow space for all diners. You feel all together but not crowded. The porch is equally comfortable with seating and dining areas. The amenities keep every age group enthralled. Everyone upon arrival had the same descriptive word for the Barn - awesome!

THE BARN IS WONDERFUL

Our family gives 10 stars out of 10 stars to the The-Barn-on-Evergreen-Pond. We also give the Hosts-Rich & Lisa 10+++ stars. Over the past 7 years we have gone on family vacations each year at different homes but this location was by far the BEST (unanimously by all)! The BARN (It really is a converted BARN) is beautiful, comfortable, and has everything you need and could possibly want for all ages! We had ages from 70's to 9. We did swim in the pond, used the paddle boat and kayaks, played pickleball, played all the games in the BARN, and the highlight of each day was the fire pit where we made s'mores and talked about all that we had done that day - some people went to The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame - Cleveland, some went to Akron and visited the Siberling Estate (Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens), some went to the Football Hall of Fame- Canton. Although the BARN is in the country- you are close enough to do a lot more and come back to the BARN and relax and enjoy it!!!! Rich and Lisa had a dream about the BARN and they have succeeded beyond expectations. They were the best HOSTS we have had on our many vacations. All of us have nothing but good memories about the BARN. We hope to return in the future. Again we cannot say enough about the Hosts and the BARN but WONDERFUL!!!!!!

A Breath of Fresh Air

Our group of women started our retreat by breathing a sigh of relief to be in such a gorgeous, restful, spacious place. We combined The Barn with The Retreat on the same property which generously housed 20+ ladies for an incredible weekend. The amazing indoor spaces were thoroughly equipped with everything needed and creatively decorated but not cluttered. The outdoor views of the pond, woods, and well-kept yard area provided renewal to our spirits. You could literally be there for a week and not have time to enjoy all of the amenities that the owners provide. Rich and Lisa were completely responsive to our questions and such gracious hosts. The ladies departed renewed and refreshed--already asking if we can return there for our next retreat! Our time at the Barn and the Retreat truly provided a breath of fresh air to our group!

Absolutely Perfect

The Barn on Evergreen pond was everything we wanted. We were amazed at all the activities in and outside the home. There wasn't anything we wished was different. The kids enjoyed everything and were never bored and that was without ever watching TV. The kitchen had everything you could ever need and the bedrooms were better than the add showed. The living space was absolutely spacious. And all the extras provided for our stay was something we never experienced before. For example a coffee bar, snacks, and a dog basket with everything needed for our dogs. This place was a definite 5 star experience and we would love to visit again.
