Shawnee Wine Trail Farm Stay

Unwind at The Barn Bunkie, just 5 minutes from I-57, Blue Sky Vineyard, and Shawnee Bluffs Canopy Tours. Perfect for exploring the Shawnee Wine Trail and National Forest, enjoy mornings with our rooster, watch horses graze, and savor our freshly roasted coffee. Your ideal base for hiking and wine tasting awaits!

(Beware, the rooster, goats, and dogs will make sure you catch the sunrise, seriously, you won’t need an alarm clock! It’s an authentic farm stay!)

With everything you need (minimalist kitchen, dining, full bathroom, queen bed & fold out twin, peace, & quiet), and nothing you don’t (clutter, WiFi, television), the Barn Bunkie offers you a front seat to idyllic farm life nestled in the Shawnee National Forest.
