The home can be reached from most parts of the St. Louis metropolitan area in about an hour or less.

    The home was designed to look like an old time barn. It was completed in 2008 with many amazing details that make it truly unique! It provides awesome views of rolling farmland and the cliffs of Pierre Marquette State Park to the north and longtime family farmsteads to the south.

Fall is a great time to take a drive down the Great River Road to see the turning of the trees. Winter months are great for Eagle Watching & Christmas stroll in Old Town St. Charles .

    Some of the pictures of the barn house include peach trees surrounding the barn. The trees are reaching the end of their useful productive life span. This year it appears we will have some peaches! Our guests are more then welcome to pick some while they are staying at the BARN. Please be kind and just take what you can eat and save for our next guests. In the future we hope to have a variety of fruit trees for all season's. Keep in mind if you have to "tug" on them, they are not ready yet. Keep checking, some ripen before others!

    Calhoun County is famous for peaches and there are numerous farms nearby that have excellent farm stands.
