Winter Escape: Little Barn Retreat

Winter Escape: Little Barn at Oostema Farmstead

Welcome to Your Winter Retreat at the Little Barn on Oostema Farmstead

Escape to the Little Barn for a magical winter getaway nestled in the serenity of Oostema Farmstead. Perfect for those who love the outdoors but cherish the comfort of a cozy cabin, our barn is your gateway to a seamless adventure with the added coziness of solid walls and a warm roof overhead.

As you step inside, you'll be greeted by a charming rustic cabin atmosphere complete with a plush queen bed and wall heater to keep you toasty on chilly nights. The setup is ideal for traveling light and focusing on the beautiful snowy landscapes just outside your door. For the full glamping experience, we recommend bringing your own sleeping bag or bedding, though the barn is equipped with all the essentials for a comfortable stay.

Outside, the winter tranquility of our 117-acre farmstead unfolds. Home to wagyu cows and other friendly farm animals, you can explore snowy fields or enjoy quiet moments by your private fire pit. The Little Barn offers an intimate setting, often being one of the few accommodations occupied on the property during the winter season, ensuring a peaceful and private experience.

If you're a fan of Wagyu Beef, this amazing glamping experience is for you!!! The beautiful farm was surrounded by a hundred acres of corn and raspberry fields as well. Comfortable, and cozy accommodations.

What a Fantastic Camping Cabin!
We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at the Camping Cabin and would highly recommend it for a tranquil and rejuvenating vacation. The experience was exactly as described – like camping, but with the comfort of a cozy bed. The serene woodland surroundings were delightful, and we relished relaxing in the charming wooden cabin. The Wi-Fi connectivity was outstanding, allowing me to do some work during my trip. Lisa and Glen were exceptional hosts, and we would eagerly return for another visit! We will be back!

Beware the bed didn't come with sheets....
The cabin is simple and clean. The farm is relaxing, however I was really disappointed that the Queen bed didn't come with bedding. For the price you pay, this should not be acceptable. We travelled from Canada, and didn't realize when booking that in the smaller print it says *bring your sleeping bags. We also didn't recieve the welcome email with all this information until the day of. We asked the property managers if they had any bedding on hand as we travelled form far and they said it was an additional $35USD. If we wanted to sleep in sleeping bags we would have camped. The reason we booked the room was for a proper bed. We ended up having to go to Target last minute and purchase sheets as it seemed ridiculous to pay $35 for sheets for one night. Ask most people if they've ever booked a room that didn't come with sheets and they'd likely agree that it's very odd.
