Perfect space for a large group!
Absolutely loved our stay at the Boar's Abode! The property was clean, huge and great instructions for getting in. We absolutely loved the large couch, kitchen and space downstairs allowing for everyone to be in the same space within filling packed to the brim. Would definitely recommend this to any large group! The pool and outdoor are perfect for spending the entire day outside, whether just hanging out or playing games. Amazing property and incredibly nice and responsive owners.

5 stars!
We had such a fun time at this property! We had 6 adults and 6 kids and there was plenty of room for us all! We loved the big living area and couch upstairs for movies, the pool/hot tub were warm and clean, but we especially loved the spacious, open basement where the kids could ride the little cars around and adults could sit snd play games. The woods have some fun trails through them that the kids loved to walk through and we enjoyed morning walks down the main gravel road. No complaints!

Great for our group!
We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay with 8 adults ages 20-50 at The Boars Abode. Kayla and Aaron have thought of everything to make guests feel comfortable. We were there over the 4th of July and it was in the mid 90's each day. We were concerned it might be hot inside the barn but the AC on all levels kept things very cool and comfortable. The amenities that were provided were all top quality and the entire place is spotless. The decor is tasteful and fun; furniture is carefully thought out to provide room for everyone. The guys thought the craftsmanship of the construction of the home was amazing to look at throughout our stay. Book it today!

The Barn exceeded our expectations and I can’t wait to rent it again.
This is a fabulous quiet spot for a family reunion, grad party, wedding, yoga retreat, scrapbook or quilting weekend or girls getaway. Kayla is a skilled decorator and the pictures on line don’t do the Barn justice. She is very accommodating and flexible as well. Sadly we were in the area for a funeral but the Barn was the perfect place for our extended family to spend time after the services. Everything you can imagine is in the cupboards and drawers here, toys galore, a kitchen better stocked than any other place we’ve stayed, cozy blankets for anyone sitting on the massive living room sofa. Those 6 feet tall or more may have some trouble with the length of the twin beds, and the steps to the loft are a challenge for anyone with mobility issues but there’s plenty of space to make it comfortable for everyone and we can’t wait to rent again!!

It was a great place for a girls getaway - the openness and character added to the weekend fun. Very clean, close to small town for shopping or eating, overall a great experience.
