A Simple Stay with Soul: The Little Barn at Oostema Farmstead
Want to experience nature without roughing it? The Little Barn offers the beauty of the outdoors—sunsets, fresh air, and quiet nights—paired with the comforts you actually want. No tent. No noise. Just peace, privacy, and the charm of farm life.
Your Space to Slow Down
Set on our 117-acre working Wagyu farm, the Little Barn is a cozy, one-of-a-kind escape for adults who crave stillness and simplicity. With solid walls, a real bed, and warm touches throughout, this isn’t camping. It’s farm-style glamping made easy.
Inside the Barn
Step into your own private retreat. There’s a comfortable queen bed, a wall heater to keep you warm, a small fridge for your essentials, and a simple bar counter for your morning coffee. We provide fresh drinking water, and ask that you bring your own bedding and towels. Need us to take care of that? We can provide a full bedding and towel set for $15.
Outdoors, It’s All Yours
Evenings by the fire pit. Mornings with birdsong. No shared walls, no crowds. Just wide-open land and room to breathe. You’ll have easy parking right outside the door, a clean portable toilet, a refreshing outdoor shower and sink, and trails to wander or bike at your own pace.
Farm Store and Hot Tub
Visit our on-site farm store for fresh eggs, Wagyu beef, sausage, and bacon. And after a day of exploring or simply relaxing, reserve a private soak in our guest-only hot tub, open daily from 8 am to 9 pm.
What to Expect
The barn is peaceful and private, but you’ll still feel the gentle rhythm of farm life. Our Wagyu cattle graze nearby, gardens are in bloom, and occasionally, you might wave to another guest at the farmhouse or campground. Everyone has their own space, and it stays quiet and calm.
A Few Simple Guidelines
This stay is for adults only, ages 16 and up. One well-behaved dog under 50 pounds is welcome with a pet fee. Pets must be supervised at all times, quiet, and kept away from livestock. We live on-site and are nearby if you need anything during your stay.
To Confirm Your Stay
Please include the code word “BYOB” (Bring Your Own Bedding) in your message to let us know you’ve read the details and agree to our rental agreement and house rules.
If You’re Craving a Real Break
Not just a place to sleep, but a chance to breathe deep, unplug, and enjoy a slower pace. The Little Barn is ready to welcome you.
