Red Barn

Wedding Package

 

The construction of this 1915 gambrel bank barn into the adjacent hill made it possible to load the upper half of the barn with loose hay to feed 40 dairy cows through a long winter.  The hay storage levels that include the 3rd floor "hay mow" and the 4th level "high drive" are used for beautiful and memorable events hosting up to 150 guests.  A grassy road behind the barn provides access to the high drive and a large open meadow for a beautiful ceremony site, lawn games, cocktail hour, and bonfire. Small and splendid ceremonies have been held inside on the soaring high drive as well.  The deck adjacent to the enchantingly weathered  White Barn is another favorite location for lovely outdoor ceremonies. The property is yours to enjoy for the weekend and you are welcome to customize the spaces and to use your choice of caterer.

We make your planning as stress free and easy as possible by including many of the amenities that you will need. The weekend package includes:

To honor our permit and respect our neighbors, last call is at 10:00 pm, amplified music must end at 10:30 pm, and all guests that are not staying at the inn must depart by 11:00 pm. Sorry, our permit does not allow for after parties and to maintain our commitment to green practices, we do not permit the use of single-use table settings or drink ware.

Your weekend can be reserved with a 50% non-refundable site fee. Due our limited number of available weekends, the balance of the site fee (also non-refundable), and 50% lodging deposit are due 180 days prior to the event. The  lodging deposit is refundable per the terms of our lodging cancellation policy. Although two-night booking of the seven-room bed and breakfast inn is required, it is common for us to make reservations and collect payment from the guests that you direct to us and we can help you with room assignments. We can also recommend a range of nearby lodging and transportation options for your guests.

We look forward to working with you to create a fun and memorable weekend for your family and friends.
