Perfect

Perfect! My wife, myself, 3 children, spouses and 6 grandchildren have been doing week long ski vacation for the past several years. This year we had the pleasure of renting “Rita’s Barn.” It more than met our expectations. Rita’s description of the whole property is a bit understated. The bedrooms, kitchen, bathrooms and recreational areas were perfect for the 14 people in 3 generations. The ski and tubing areas at Belleayre and Plattekill were easily accessible as was Goatie Whites family restaurant. In the past, the family always voted to try a new area. This year, the family unanimously voted to return to The Barn. The 14 of us all recommend this property without reservation - it is perfect!

Thanksgiving weekend

This is the second time my family and I spent Thanksgiving at this beautiful barn and it is by far our favorite. We love the fully equipped kitchen and entertainment for everyone, even the children. Rita is always available for any questions or concerns you may have before and during your stay. Thank you so much for another great experience at the barn. We cannot wait to experience it again.

A little too rustic for older adults.

Our first day and night was marred by lack of heat and hot water. The manager responded in a timely fashion on day 2, getting an oil delivery and a plumber to the site. Our group all felt that should have been checked before our arrival. The barn is accurately described as "rustic." The downstairs is open to the roof, and some insect seems to be gnawing at something in the roof insulation that causes particles to drop onto the dining table and carpet and floor. There was quite a bit of it to clean up when we arrived. Our group was comprised of 65-80 year-olds, two with mobility issues so we needed to utilize the downstairs sofa beds as all the bedrooms are on the second floor. We were unable to locate bedding for them and had to strip a couple of the upstairs beds to accommodate them. The kitchen equipment needed some updates: lids did not fit pots, the advertised coffee equipment was incomplete. But two dishwashers was a plus for a large group. The outdoor furniture had seen better days, and an outdoor table to accommodate a group would have been nice. The weather and the fall colors the week we were there (first of October) were splendid, and we enjoyed walks and hikes. Very heavy rains the week before was hard on the long drive up the hill to the property. We appreciated the advance warning, the owner gave us about its' condition. The owner was able to accommodate a late departure on our last day which was most helpful.
