The Barn Owl Inn

Immaculate, comfortable and cozy! Great location and the house had more than we needed. A bottle of wine and cinnamon buns were the icing on the cake!

Perfect wine country cottage

The property exceeded all our expectations. Newly renovated cottage with every amenity you could possibly want. Even better than the pictures suggest. The house was beautiful and comfortable plus the perfect location to enjoy all the local wineries. Dan stopped by to make sure we were settled in and answered all our questions about the area.Will definitely stay again when we come back next summer.

Dan was an excellent host - responsive to inquiries and stopped by to check us in and make sure everything was good. Very recently renovated (good craftsmanship) property. New "everything" throughout. Especially loved the sticky buns awaiting us on the kitchen counter! LOTS of vineyards/wineries nearby. Our stay was short but enjoyable (three wineries was our limit! Will definitely stay here again if we come to the Essex Wine Country!
