Red Barn Retreat in the Heart of Bloomington

Instagram: @red.barn.of.bear.lake
You will fall in love with this charming red barn the moment you see it! Nestled in beautiful, serene Bloomington, Idaho, it is the perfect way to get away for a break in the country. You will enjoy country living at its finest, even in a barn, because this is not just any barn. It is luxurious, comfortable and fun! Built in 2021 with the finest craftsmanship and incredible attention to detail, this barn is the perfect retreat for you and your family or friends. It is packed with amenities to make your stay both comfortable and memorable!

This home is built for comfort and entertainment for your family or group, as well. As you walk through the kitchen, you will find a large family/gathering room with a beautiful fireplace and a large, flat screen TV, surrounded by several comfortable couches and chairs. Upstairs, you will find a ping pong table and a clever loft with a fun “fireman pole” for the little kids. Outside, you will find a beautiful hot tub, covered patio, fire pit, huge lawn, and lighted sports court for basketball or pickleball. There is even a wi-fi audio, surround sound system throughout the home and outside, as well, so you can have your favorite music playing while you are enjoying the company of your family and friends.

Sleeping arrangements are both comfortable and plentiful in the Red Barn Retreat. There is a beautiful master suite with a duel spray tile shower and walk-in closet. Surrounding the family/gathering room are four more spacious bedrooms, each with a queen-sized bed and closet. There are two main bathrooms in the family/gathering area, as well. Upstairs, you will find two additional bathrooms. For sleeping arrangements upstairs, there are four beautifully crafted, custom-built bunk beds with enough space to sleep twelve people in bunks. There are also two queen sofa sleepers in the upstairs, for an additional four people. The "fireman loft" is a favorite with the little ones with sleeping arrangements for 8 or more. In all, the home has beds for 34.

If you are looking for a great place to get away to the country or host a fun get-together with your family or friends, you have come to the right place!!! If you are hoping to spend some time at the beaches of Bear Lake, you are only a ten-minute drive from North Beach, and you will be able to escape the crowds of the beach-goers when you return. If you prefer the peace of the mountains, you will be able to go up to Bloomington Lakes or Paris Ice caves in minutes, as well. Bloomington is a beautiful place, and the Red Barn Retreat is a wonderful place to enjoy it!

We stayed at the barn with our church group. The setup was perfect and clean. The kitchen had everything that we needed. The beds are comfy and the location is excellent. Bloomington Canyon is a beautiful drive. However, the trailhead to the Lake is closed until July.This is the place to be to avoid all the crowds at Bear Lake.

Fantastic Venue for a Family Reunion

The Red Barn was the perfect place for our family reunion. We loved the quiet location near Bear Lake. It was spacious (inside and out), clean, well stocked, and had great amenities for our event. The kids and teenagers loved playing volleyball, pickleball, and basketball. There was also plenty of parking. Leah was great and very helpful. Would love to stay at this location again in the future. Thank you!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Red Barn! We had 3 families staying here with plenty of room. We had our family reunion and this was a great gathering spot for dinners. It was nice to have indoor and outdoor siting for dinners and the yard and basketball court keep the kids entertained. The fireman’s pole was a hit with the young kids. Plenty of parking space for trucks and trailers and nice that it was so close to Bloomington canyon for RZR riding!Leah was great at communicating and made our stay great! Thanks

Great Family Getaway

We really enjoyed our stay. The Red barn is so cute and well taken care of. Plenty of room and beds for everyone. The kids loved the open space to run around outside and the giant fire pit. Room for everyone to sit around and chat, great big kitchen and lots of bathrooms. The listing says no AC so we were hesitant but pleasantly surprised when we got there to see they have AC. We would definitely consider staying again.

Great gathering place!

We have family members with houses in Bloomington, but there isn't enough room to sleep everyone, so we rented the Barn for the second time. It's so big and comfortable. It has enough space for the 40+ of us to gather (we didn't all sleep there) for meals and activities. We loved the hot tub, basketball court and pickleball court. When there was a strange message on the hot tub, Leah texted immediately and I was able to take care of it. Love the two fridges so the three families staying there could divide their stuff up.

Excellent family retreat

We had a wonderful time at the Red Barn. It was clean and functional. The yard, pickle ball court, basketball court and hot tub were a hit with our family. It’s also close to other activities in the area. Our only complaint was we did get caught off guard with the limited number of plates for our meals, which required that we use paper plates. Also, we were only given three laundry pods for five days. Other than those small issues, it’s a fabulous place.
