We absolutely loved our stay at the Tiny Red Barn. The setting is spectacular - in the woods, on the water, so peaceful and private. The house is really lovely - beautifully decorated, loaded with charm, comfortable and cozy while somehow also being chic! It’s also well appointed, including good coffee, cookies and, such a treat- fresh eggs. Best of all, Virginia introduced us to her precious mini donkeys. They’re so sweet and it was educational for the kids and parents. We really loved this Vrbo stay and will definitely be back again!
