FAIRYTALE BARN: 



Welcome to the lower-level cabin inside our 100-year-old barn — thoughtfully restored with salvaged wood, vintage tin tiles, and modern comforts woven throughout.

This is where rustic charm meets cozy magic.

Step inside and you’ll find single-level living designed for comfort and ease year-round. The cabin features a fully stocked kitchen, open living space, and unique Social-Media-worthy finishes — including reclaimed barn wood walls and an interior tin ceiling that gives the space its unmistakable character.

Outside on your private side deck, you’ll have:

• Your own hot tub

• A private fire pit

• A grill for evening cookouts

• Peaceful views of the farm

And then… there’s the rest of the property.

The petting zoo is just about 100 yards away. Wander through the gates and meet the goats, bunnies, and whoever else happens to be holding court that day — they are a real trip. Kids love it. Adults love it. Everyone leaves smiling.

Follow the manicured trails down to the state-stocked trout stream, discover whimsical land art swings tucked into the woods, or just slow down and breathe in the quiet.



This is not a sterile, cookie-cutter cabin. It’s a storybook space with history in the walls, tin on the ceilings, and goats in the distance.

Fairytale is the lower level of our barn. The lower level is a separate rental.

    I loved the barn and its surroundings. My only complaint is it was difficult to reach the owner via phone prior to check in. Thankfully I did reach them upon arrival to get the code to enter.

    My family and I had a great time. Our pet seemed to have fun as well especially feeding the goats rabbits and the little pig. The little goat was liking our little dog through the fence. Our kids are older but they seemed to enjoy themself as well. The hot tub was especially refreshing in freezing weather and the process of getting in and out was fun. Very cold but refreshing. Having a fire was also convenient, with there little store shed. No smores on our visit but had the fire wood. The little country store/gas station down the road was also convenient and a treat. The sandwiches were great. The host was very helpful with info and and would definitely recommend this place especially with kids.

    The Fairy Tale Barn and farm was a dream come true for our family. The kids loved waking up and going to see the animals every day, swinging on the swing, jumping on the trampoline, and enjoying the hot tub. Even during a snowstorm! Listing had everything we needed and more, honestly one of our best stays yet. Don’t miss out, stay here.

    This is a quality property in a semi secluded area in the mountains. Property is not near towns or stores, so you would need to bring your food, etc. with you. Property is amazing for children and even for us 70 year old children. Plenty of activities for all to do. Pickle Ball court, tube riding in creek, water slide, small zip line, kayaks, games, lots of animalls to feed and pet, plenty of walking trails both flat and difficult and so much more to do. Around every corner you will find Connie's artistic side displayed. Several options for lodging on property to choose from. We saw several repeat visitors who had come back a second or third time. A great place to bring kids of all ages and enjoy all the mountains have to offer. Very relaxing and refreshing place to get away from it all. Webb Watson

    It’s just like all of the other reviewers posted, but we’d like to add a couple more things. Alpacas were very friendly. Goats and bunnies were domesticated and would cuddle with us when we gave them food. Saw chickens, pheasants and a peacock - first time our kids saw one in real life. The trail in the woods is fantastic, every 100 yards you would see something that the owners made, a teepee, benches, rocking chairs, a zip line, a hammock, kids playground toys and much more. The stay was exactly like it was described, hot tub was working and the place was well cleaned. We fished in the stream, saw ducks and donkeys and made a fire. Also bought eggs - $3/dozen on an honor system. Oh, we also used the trampoline, the over the river swing and had a corn hole competition. Beautiful stay, would recommend for families with kids of all ages. You can tell that the owners put a ton of effort into this property. Thank you!!

    We had a great time staying here. It is true what they say about not going out once you get there. There are many things to do on the property. My family enjoyed staying here and will book again.

    We had a wonderful stay at the farm. The renovated barn where we stayed was beautiful and had everything we needed. Fully stocked kitchen. The back patio with hot tub overlooking pasture with horses and llamas was so peaceful. The farm animals were so friendly and loved attention and petting. Zip line, water slide, and relaxing on tubes in creek kept my granddaughter busy. Loved every minute!

    Our time here was absolutely magical. Our kids loved the slide, goats, bunnies, trampoline, and swings. We only went into town for food because the property had plenty of entertainment. The owner was extremely friendly. We will definitely be back!

    My family enjoyed staying at this property. The owners have done such a beautiful job adding little features which encourage families to be outside and explore. We really had no need to leave the property and explore the surrounding area because there was so much to keep us entertained. The owners were extremely responsive to our questions. We hope to get back there soon. I would recommend if you are planning to book Fairytale that you also book the unit on the top floor of the barn and invite friends or family to enjoy this property with you. There was a family who booked the upstairs unit and overlapped part of our stay and the sound of people walking above is easily heard in the lower unit. Fortunately, the guests in the upper unit weren't up too late and it wasn't a nuisance.

    We loved our stay!! Connie and Enrique have done such a wonderful job! All sorts of creative and whimsical additions to the property. Our 4 year old loved all the animals especially! There was a small water/plumbing leak causing a bad smell in one of the rooms (which was going to be used by our toddler), so that made it pretty much unusable during our stay but Connie responded promptly and I'm sure they will have it fixed up very soon. Other than that issue, it was absolutely amazing and charming accomodations and scenery!! ?
