It’s a red barn, so you know we’ve fallen in love, but up against a lush green backdrop? Even better. This converted barn is located at Speare Woods Retreat in the village of Woodstock, just a few blocks from the center of town, and it can be your home-away-from-home for $200/night. ‘Tis spacious, large enough to accommodate 6 guests or have a wedding or even host a yoga retreat weekend. Or, come as a couple and commandeer the whole space, including the upstairs loft studio. Make use of the sauna, cook something in the kitchen, wander into to town and poke around the shops. Do something awesome for a change. Sleep in a barn. It might change your life. Min. 2 night stay. Pets considered with prior approval.

Fun Fact: The owners of this singular property, Melissa Schulz and Tony Stiker, first caught a glimpse of it right here on Upstater. Later, they bought the property and poured a ton of work into it, transforming this barn plus the old farmhouse that came with it into a special retreat. And now, in an interesting full-circle-like turn of events, they’re planning to put it on the market in May. Asking price is $850,000.
