About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Little Red Barn

Make yourself at home in this charming 1-bedroom Cedar Falls retreat. With amenities like a washing machine, WiFi, heating, and AC, guests can relax and unwind in this cozy barn. We hope you'll enjoy your stay at our superb property.
Take some time to literally smell the roses. Walk around barefoot if you like, (we do have dogs so watch where you step :/ ) pick veggies from the garden or fruit from the trees. Throw the ball for the dogs and they'll love you forever.
Relax on the patio or in the hot tub behind the house. Make yourself a fire and cook s'mores. Maybe you just want to sleep the day away, that's fine too.
We offer discounts of 20% for traveling nurses, teachers, and service members whether it's just for the night or for the week.
Being a teacher myself, I would like to help the other teachers out there that are just trying to make it, paycheck to paycheck.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a patio 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 washing machine, a microwave, and a refrigerator. Limited housekeeping is available.

My husband and I stayed overnight for our anniversary. The place was beautiful and serene. We enjoyed the hot tub, and watching the sunset from the patio area. Our hosts were lovely and we even got to say hello to their sweet dogs. Wonderful experience!

This is an awesome place! If you just want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big cities (which are also very close if needed) this would be it. Place was clean and very well deocated. Had everything you would need. Shannon was very friendly and accommodating. Dogs were also very friendly! We only stayed one night but it is definitely something I would do again!
