It is one of 4 unique glamping structures on our property. Plus free unlimited basic wi-fi internet and cozy cast iron wood burning stove.
The Sun Barn is a 20 foot x 12 foot structure made from mostly recycled and reclaimed materials. Dozens of windows make it feel like you're camping outside. And you're protected from rain, wind and any uninvited animals. .
There is nearby porta-potty for your private use only. (You do not share the porta-potty with any other guest)
NOTE: Bath Tub is now closed for the winter season. However, you may still take a hot shower using the camping shower bag.
Just outside the barn you'll find your Weber propane barbecue grill with solid wood traditional picnic table and benches. Use the ice filled cooler provided to store your burgers, hot dogs and other food items. We provide all the cooking utensils, silverware, paper plates, napkins, coffee mugs, drinking water and other kitchen essentials (salt, pepper, tissues, napkins, dish soap, etc.)
If you're here during a clear night, you will be dazzled by our star gazing and wonder in awe at how clearly you can see the Milky Way from our field.
