The loft not only was beautifully redone, it was also so peaceful with such a serene vibe. Even though it was 9 degrees the first night (with -6 wind chill) but it was still cozy with both fireplaces going. The thermostats on both were very helpful. The windows on both side let in so much natural light! The bathroom was gorgeous!I could go on and on…..
Entrance drive perfect for dog walks
Peaceful views
Bright and sunny

Nice rustic barn loft. Good location. Pet friendly. On a working farm. Took my dog on a nice walk on a gravel trail though the property's woods each morning. Great place to stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Varney Hill Farm. The Loft apartment had everything we needed for our long-weekend stay visiting the Lakes Region. The apartment was clean and well kept. It was a nice balance of rustic, cozy charm for an 1800s farmhouse with the right touch of modern amenities. We got to explore the property a little bit, getting to see the horses, cows, and pigs. Even explored some of the trails, which the farm is adjacent to town and state conservation land. Hosts Patti and Matt are great people and easy to reach in case of anything. Our dog ended up taking a tumble down the steps leading up to the loft and Patti was right there offering anything she could, even finding material to act as a temporary gate which was much appreciated. Pup's okay btw, just a swollen lip and a bruised ego. She thoroughly enjoyed her farm visit, too. Will definitely look to stay here the next time we're up in the area.
