    We had such a wonderful time this weekend celebrating the in laws’ 40th wedding anniversary. We bought it for them as their gift which they thoroughly enjoyed. The place is absolutely beautiful, we couldn’t have asked for a nicer retreat. Thank you.

    We had a lovely stay for “Big” birthday family celebrations. Alexander Barn was perfect in every way. Our 4 year old is planning our next visit for more sleepovers in the bunk beds!
