The Barnhouse - Renovated Century-Old Barn , 2 Miles to Colgate

Welcome to The Barnhouse!

The Barnhouse is a century-old barn we've lovingly converted into a bright, cozy little home just 2 miles from Colgate University and the Village of Hamilton.

Perfect for 2 and comfortable for 4, it’s a peaceful place to settle in whether you're visiting Colgate, attending a nearby wedding, working remotely for a few days, or simply looking for a quiet country getaway.

The Barnhouse keeps the character of the original building while adding the comforts you want when you travel. Large windows, white walls, and white-painted concrete floors make the space feel light and open, while touches from the old barn remind you of its history.

INSIDE THE BARNHOUSE

The bedroom has a comfortable queen bed with a headboard made from one of the original barn doors.

The open living and kitchen area includes a queen sleeper sofa, Smart TV, desk, and high-speed Wi-Fi. It's cozy enough for a couple but gives a family or group of four enough space to relax comfortably.

The kitchen is small but truly stocked for cooking. You'll find a refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, microwave, Keurig, French press, coffee maker, blender, cookware, dishes, utensils, oils, spices, condiments, regular and decaf coffee, tea, and other basics we like to have when we're away from home.

The bathroom has one of our favorite Barnhouse details, a rainfall shower surrounded by galvanized metal walls. We also provide shampoo, conditioner, facial soap, lotion, and a few of those things that are easy to forget when you travel.

STEP-FREE LIVING

The Barnhouse has a ramp to the entrance, no interior steps, and wide doorways, making it a convenient option for guests who prefer a step-free space.

OUTSIDE

Step onto your private deck with your morning coffee, a book, or a glass of wine and enjoy the quiet country setting.

Guests also have access to the shared outdoor areas on the property, including the large firepit with plenty of seating and firewood and the river area along the Chenango River.

In winter, snowmobile trails are located just across the road and through the neighboring field.

COMFORT IN EVERY SEASON

Window air conditioning keeps the Barnhouse comfortable during warmer weather, while separate thermostats allow you to adjust the heat in different areas during the colder months.

NEED MORE SPACE?

The Barnhouse is part of a larger property with several unique places to stay. The Farmhouse is right next door and sleeps up to 10. The River House and Movie House are next door to that in a renovated early-1900s general store.

If you're traveling with a larger group, message us and we'll be happy to help you figure out which homes would work best for your stay.

Whether you're spending most of your time at Colgate or barely leaving the deck, our goal is simple: for The Barnhouse to feel like your own little home in the country while you're here.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker, an ironing board, and a desk.

A really cool experience to stay in a renovated barn so close to Colgate’s campus. It was a 4 minute drive but felt like a world away. Very quiet location with an impressive stream to walk to on the property. We loved our stay!

Perfect Cozy Barnhouse!

I stayed here with my sister (a freshman at Colgate) for the weekend and we absolutely loved it! The property is adorable, the barnhouse is clean and has everything you need, and it is a short 4 min drive from campus. We will definitely be booking this again for our next visit!

It is a renovated barn but you have all the amenities you need. They have a portable a/c which keeps it very comfortable, good WiFi, full and updated kitchen, and a tv with streaming services. We really enjoyed our time here!

Just as Described

I wish I could keep this place a secret but it seems the secret is out. The Barnhouse is exactly as described and pictured, and it is so close to Colgate. It was perfect for our small family's short stay. Will and Wendy provide everything you need to make it feel like a home away from home. 10/10

This property was charming and looked like the description. There were only 2 of us but I could see how it would work for a maximum of 4 people. The kitchen opens up to the living room and is fully stocked. The outside property is spacious and the fire pit was an added bonus. It's right outside of Hamilton, NY which is a cute town and host to Colgate University. I would recommend this property to anyone traveling through Upstate. It has a relaxing vibe and is a comfortable place to chill.
