Some of the pictures of the barn house include peach trees surrounding the barn. The trees are reaching the end of their useful productive life span. This year it appears we will have some peaches! Our guests are more then welcome to pick some while they are staying at the BARN. Please be kind and just take what you can eat and save for our next guests. In the future we hope to have a variety of fruit trees for all season's. Keep in mind if you have to "tug" on them, they are not ready yet. Keep checking, some ripen before others!

Summary: This is our 3rd time staying at the Red Barn. We love the remote location that is still very easy to get to from St. Charles County. Always a nice relaxing weekend with plenty to do from the pool table, to the fire pit or the hot tub.
