2nd stay for family holiday gathering
We loved it so much we came back for another family holiday gathering! This round we saw a noticeable improvement with the on site WiFi connectivity (thank you!). We took full advantage of the kitchen for holiday meal prep (plenty of slow cookers, pots/pans and utensils). There’s a traditional drip coffee machine, no keurig, for morning coffee brewing and a full sized fridge for all of your food storage needs (plus a drinks fridge!). The optional mule available to take trips around the property and viewing the wildlife is a must. The property staff is friendly and attentive if you need any assistance.

Annual vacation trip
We enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room. Saw many animals each day. It did rain a couple of times during our stay so didn't get to explore the property much but able to do movie night, play pool & other games. A little far out but enjoyed the peace & quite. Would recommend to others.

Family Summer Trip
We wanted a new experience and we got it. We truly enjoyed riding on the Mule on the property and spotting wildlife, the kids got so excited. The space was plenty big enough for 4 adults and 4 children. I do wish the property had a bit more shade especially for the summer months. The Barndo got warm in the summer sun, but they had plenty of fans and it wasn’t bad. We did come across some scorpions but that’s to be expected with the heat. I wish the pool cues were better, all but 1, were missing the tips making them unusable. Overall it was a fun trip!

It's a barn out in the wild
Would any one in my group stay here again? Probably not. One family that stayed with us (although a little high strung) left a day early because their child and them could not sleep well due to the soft bed and the ac not working well. fine for the rest of us for the most part but not something you expect from a highly rated rental. Their main issue as well as everyone elses was that aside from the master br and 2 bathrooms in the back, the main living area and all other bedrooms run warm. The front most bedroom ac wall unit did not work well. The two open ceiling rooms with bunk beds on the other side have no ac directed in to those rooms and only have a ceiling fan. Main living room when we first checked in was extremely hot in the 80s. Host stated they forgot to turn on the ac and because it was the hottest time of the day to just bear with it... Second day was a little better but still warm. There's 4-5+ standing fans for you to use also...so I assume its well known. It's a barn and you should already know that going in. Floor is hard concrete, and although the entire place felt fairly clean, because it was a barn and had that rustic feel it also didn't feel clean at the same time... definitely did not feel comfortable walking bare footed. Insulation was dangling You will be lucky to have slow internet on your phone and it is dependent on where you are situated in the home. Although wifi is stated as available, we were unable to connect anywhere inside or outside.

Great place to disconnect and fantastic night sky view
My family spent 3 nights for a holiday break at the Barndo and had a great time. With 3 bathrooms, plenty of beds, and large amount of open space and seating for all seven of us, we enjoyed some time away from the holiday shoppers with quiet surroundings and nice night sky visibility. The 6-seater mule was a hit and we explored the grounds daily to see the livestock, ponds, and various deer and birds in the area. The kitchen was well stocked with gear to prep our Thanksgiving meal as well as a large dining table which provided more than enough space for our crew. Unlike most rentals, there is no keurig, just drip machine. Bring a telescope! We had a fantastic view of a meteor shower and had fun playing “spot the starlink satellites” over a campfire with s’mores. Things to keep in mind: I do not say “disconnect” lightly as a description. Internet access is minimal (email and texting access at most via guest WiFi at roughly 4-5Mbps download speed max). I highly suggest downloading offline maps of the area since cell-service is limited to one bar at best, if you have any signal at all. We had some delay to our arrival time and found it very challenging trying to find the front gate after sunset. The same is true if you want to play your own tunes; download your playlists in advance. All of this aside, our stay was a nice break from the all too often social media and news overload. If you really need some TV time, the DirectTV option offers plenty of stations.

Loads of Fun
Our stay was nothing but fun! Too many rides in the pasture to count! Exotics seen on every ride. Fishing provided many fun catches! Swimming, outdoor fire pit with smores, games of pool and foosball. Comfortable indoor living area. Comfortable outdoor seating. Plenty of room for large party to spread out in. Nothing but good to say. Surprised by supplied water, ice and wood! Everyone in our party left talking about wanting to return!

Family Vacay
There are some safety issues that need to be addressed. Family member tripped over ledge leading into bedroom and required stitches. These ledges need to be clearly marked to avoid future accidents. We know that this is in the country and that there will be insects, but not inside. There were several scorpions and carpenter bees were coming out of the walls, especially in the middle bathroom. Also, the description of the ranch specifically said that there were 3 stocked fish ponds to enjoy, when we arrived we were told that only one pond was stocked with catfish only. Grandpa was really excited to take his grandkids fishing but was very disappointed that the types of fish listed on the ad were not available. Overall we enjoyed the family time together and the kids enjoyed the pool and seeing the animals.

Summer 2023 ! Lets get the party started
Family time is important , its value is priceless & the memories you create together are forever ! The Barndo was perfect size for my family ( 13 of us total ) , it was clean , comfy and unlike anywhere we have stayed before. The ranch is beautiful , spaceous & for city peeps like us gave us a true taste of country life , We Loved it !!!!!! If i could rate this property a 10 I would. Pool is clean , not to big but had enough room for all of us. BBQ grill & Fire Pit were used daily , porch has dining table , tv with comfortable viewing. As the sunsets Horses , Donkeys , Sheep & other annimals come down the road , the grandkids enjoyed seeing them everynight. Even saw an antelope sprinting down the road at night. Renting the ATV was great choice which allows you to view entire beauty of ranch and all the wildlife . We use VRBO multiple times a year because we have had great experiences together. This trip , This stay at the Bardo at the 4D Guest Ranch tops the list . Carrin & Ranch workers were great , true country hospitality , From my Family , Thank You Thank You !!!!!!!!
