Applebarn

About this property

Applebarn sits on a 12-acre property in Rhinebeck, a short drive from the village center. Guests describe a timber-framed barn with an attached skylit cabin, set across the road from a small farm with goats and a horse.

The theme guests raise most is the host's hospitality. Reviewers describe Richard as responsive, attentive, and generous with local recommendations for restaurants and hikes. Several mention his wife Susie helping with the stay as well.

The second most mentioned theme is the farm animals. Guests write about feeding apples and carrots to the goats and to the horse, calling it a highlight of their visit, especially for children. Quiet and privacy come up often too, with guests calling the setting peaceful and describing the woods and creek visible from the deck as restorative.

Design and cleanliness are also frequently praised. Guests note the vaulted living space, the well-equipped kitchen, and the skylights in the cabin room, which several called their favorite spot to wake up. The Applebarn sleeps up to 4, with a queen suite in the barn and a pullout futon in the cabin.

Guests repeatedly mention how close the property feels to nature while still being minutes from town. Several returned for second or third stays, citing the same reasons: the quiet, the animals, and Richard's welcome.
