What a perfect place. It has everything you need to be comfortable. The fenced in yard was perfect for our dogs. The bed is a firm memory foam. The kitchen has everything you need and they had Keurig pods for coffee. We'll definitely be back.

House was perfect-kitchen was well stocked (we like to cook at Vrbos) bedroom/bathroom were clean and comfortable. One note-I would recommend a couple/few simple chairs for the patio. The backyard is such a nice space, a place to sit and enjoy would be great.

We had a wonderful stay at the Barn. We even extended it a day. The property is lovely. Clean and comfortable. Very well equipped. It has a great backyard space if you are travelling with your pup. So close to Longwood Gardens & the town of Kennett Square which is why we were there. Kristin is a very responsive owner. On our last morning our dog Sasha got away and Kristin was kind enough to come over and help us look for her She was the one who found her in a neighbors yard. We hope to stay again if we visit the area.

Nice backyard for our dog to play. House was very clean. Nice kitchen and bedroom. Owner was very responsive. Our complaints are more about our preference. The bedroom was on the opposite side of the house of the bathroom (made it hard to navigate in the middle of the night), not many blinds were on the windows, dont sit on the couch if you have bad knees and the steps were alittle harder to get down than I thought. These may be minor to someone else, but I wanted to point it out. We would still stay here again if we were in the area for the backyard alone. It is the perfect backyard for dogs and you have several ways to get to it. Also the cookware was amazing and the fridge was stocked with water which our dog absolutely loved.

My little doggie and I had a wonderful stay at the Underground Railroad Barn. This is a unique, artfully-renovated property with the feel of modern country living. It was great to relax in the quiet outdoor areas and the spacious backyard was perfect for my dog’s playtime. I hope to return again!

We had a lovely time at the barn. Gorgeous place with a nice yard for our dog to run around in; spacious and so comfortable. A couple of outdoor seating areas placed just right. A stone's throw from Longwood Gardens and Kennett Square. Thoughtful amenities and excellent communication. We had an issue with the AC (too cold) and had a hard time adjusting it. We contacted Kristin about it and she responded immediately with instructions from the installer which fixed the issue right away. The barn is adorable. Will definitely be back.

Modern and Cozy barn

Very clean and modern barn. Updated kitchen and bath. Our pup liked the private fenced in yard. We enjoyed the private patio. I enjoyed the real creamer for our morning coffee, not the powder! Only complaint is the sectional sofa, too difficult to get in and out of, especially for us who are close to 70 years old. Host Kristin was very responsive to any questions or concerns we had. Overall, it was an excellent place to stay for us to visit family.

We had a wonderful time in this historical home. It was tastefully done to look it’s time. The barn was absolutely gorgeous with a nice little patio outside as well for us to sit on. We did take advantage of that. There were a few things that we would have liked to have had. A comforter in one of the rooms were not warm and cold and thin there is an animal door going to the basement that is open. That was a little concerning because we don’t know what’s in the basement we did notice there was cat hair in the kitchen and we do not know if that animal was in the house while we were gone or not. My sister did notice it. She is allergic to cats. There were lots of extras as well. There was coffee and cream. Well done coffee bar. There were some waters, waiting for us in the fridge and some snacks. It was very well stopped if we need to go back we would I would ask for them to please close the animal door. This was for girls time away. We had a great time visiting. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely historical home which we absolutely love.
