All was very good and would return.
Downside was the warning of noise suppression because of aggressive neighbors. Always in the mind and cramping the vacation vibe.

This beautiful barn vacation home went above and beyond our expectations. While staying at the house, we made two trips to Yellowstone by driving through the west and south entrances, one trip to the Grand Tetons, visited Mesa Falls and the Idaho Potato Museum, and toured Jackson, WY. We also found fun activities in Ashton and nearby areas (tubing, horseback riding, paddle boarding at the lake). The house was in a good location to be able to make day trips both north and south.
The adults spent nights playing games on the lower level while the 9 kids (ages 7-13) hung out in the large game room on the second floor and loft on the third floor. The yard was large enough for whiffle ball games, and the horse shoes were a hit with everyone. The kitchen was well-stocked for our group of 17 and had plenty of refrigerator and freezer space. We cooked dinner and breakfast most nights and mornings and never lacked for any specific utensil or pan. We have a lot of really great memories from our stay and would recommend it to any large group traveling to this area!

It's a great house in a beautiful location. The house has plenty of bedrooms and beds for a large family reunion like ours, which was great. The kitchen was better stocked with dishes and essentials then similar places we've stayed. Some of the furniture is a bit worn and one of the showers wasn't draining well, but otherwise it's a lovely space with plenty of seating, both inside and out.
Apparently the neighbors are pretty touchy, and so some of the rules seemed overly stringent apparently because of past behavior of tenants, but we didn't have any issues. Probably the biggest detraction is that you're about 30 minutes from any real dining options in Rexburg. The flipside is that you're only an hour from Yellowstone and it's quiet at night. If you're there in summer, go float the river!

We had a great time. Host was super responsive and easy to work with. The house is beautiful and had plenty of room for our family of 21. Only an hour and 20 from west entrance of Yellowstone and the view of the Tetons was amazing.
We had anxiety from past reviews about the neighbors but we had zero issues from them. Can’t wait to come back!!

Nice Stay for a Very Large Group
We had a group of 24 people stay at the Good Ground Retreat. There were 8 adults and 16 kids of all ages. We had plenty of space for everyone and more than enough beds for our group, which was awesome. The playroom was a hit with all the kids, and it was nice to have a few toys there for the younger ones to play with.
The kitchen was big enough with an extra fridge and freezer in the pantry that we definitely used. With the picnic tables outside, there was plenty of space for everyone to eat and enjoy the nice weather.
Knowing that the neighbors are so sensitive kind of put us on edge, which was a bummer. But what can you do? Neighbors are grouchy sometimes.
The only drawback of the house was that we had a couple of mice sneak in while we were there. We saw at least two on one of the nights... one in the kitchen and one in one of the upstairs bedrooms. So be sure to keep your food downstairs! It was kind of expected since the property is surrounded by fields and farm land. The owners have traps everywhere, so they are doing their best for it, I'm sure. It didn't affect our enjoyment of the property or our trip.
We also enjoyed the large outdoor space-- we built a fire, played on the swingset, and enjoyed several games of whiffleball in the large field. The kids loved running all around.

Family Vacation
Had a great time even though our Yellowstone plans were washed (flooded) out. Went to Bear World & Messa Falls which were recommended by the host. Yard was huge so kids were able to play & run. House was beautiful with plenty of room for family meals & playing cards at night! 3rd floor master suite was a challenge initially for our 64 year old joints but was good exercise after getting used to it.

Great Home!
This home was the perfect size for our family reunion (12 adults & 16 kids). The home was well stocked in the kitchen and bathroom. Washer & dryer were available for use. We had a few issues come up - the owner was quick to respond. Would stay there again.

Location is unbeatable for memorable Family Gatherings
Unique, comfortable, family oriented cabin was the perfect get away!!! Day trips to Island Park, Yellowstone, Jackson, and Grand Teton were a breeze. Rivers to float or fish, mountains to hike, waterfalls to view, all within a short drive. We even saw a moose! There is something for everyone.
Large kitchen is fully stocked with ample supplies to cook for a crowd. Extra fridge and large freezer were a plus. Plenty of room to spread out so we never felt crowded and very remote, so privacy was fabulous. Expansive views make for amazing sunsets. Patio has gas firepit that worked great to relax around while gazing at the most spectacular night sky I've ever seen.
Jim and Michelle were wonderful hosts and easy to contact for any questions.
If you're looking for a great place for a family reunion, this is the spot. My family loved it. We will certainly reserve again.

Awesome Host
James was very thorough in his instructions. The barn was b-e-a-utiful! This was perfect for our family reunion. We had 23 people stay here and we had plenty of room. There is plenty to do here. We wanted to leave Yellowstone early everyday just so we could spend more time at the “Red Barn.” I highly recommend this place. The views and the stars were fantastic. We would love to come back again some day.

What a beautiful place. Very open and great use of space!
We had 26 people, 13 adults, 13 kids ahes 2-17. We never felt cramped. We love the kids room and the 3rd floor open area with bunks. Even the 2nd floor living space was great spacing. We love cooking and the kitchen had everything we need, even a rice cooker! We're an Asian family that can't go anywhere w/o our rice. Everything was cleaned and stocked to our needs. We never ran out of hot water. Outdoor area was nice with four picnic tables and gas fire table. We used the grill, it was basically new. I can go on!

Professional work retreat
This house is amazing! We used it for a professional team-building retreat which worked out great. The rooms are very large and the ample areas to sit and have our discussions worked out very well. Definitely something to consider for a professional work retreat.

The home was fantastic. The location was perfect - half way between Yellowstone Nat'l Park and Grand Tetons. We had a great time exploring the area.
We took issue with the cleanliness of home. Every surface was dirty and the lower bathroom was invested with earwigs that we had difficulty controlling with over the counter products. The 2nd floor bathtub drains extremely slowly. Its trap needs to be cleaned out. The bed clothing was clean and fresh but the carpets were in need of attention. The oven needs cleaning, the dining table actually changed colors when it was washed (hadn't been cleaned in sometime).
It was heartbreaking for such lovely home to be so poorly tended to. I hope the owner takes notice of this review and makes the necessary changes with his cleaning firm. They are doing him a disservice!
The owner was very responsive to our every inquiry and responded quickly when the outside garbage cans were overflowing and had them emptied quickly. So it was a surprise to have this issue. I suspect the owner has trusted his cleaning staff and is not unaware of the poor service they are providing.

Barn house, make sure you do not like to have fun!
The barn house was great for our large group staying in Idaho while riding the sand dunes.The views were amazing. I was disappointed in the small garbage in the kitchen and not a container inside for recycling. We had a group of 25 and kids and several kiddos from ages 5 to 15. The neighbor complained about noise the first night. It was 920 pm. We were by no means wild and crazy. I also received a text Sunday as well about the neighbor complaining. It is pretty unfair to spend a large amount of money on a rental in the country and have to worry about noise complaints. I could see if it was in the middle of the night and people were being obnoxious. This was no means us. I would not recommend this property if you like to have fun, chill by a fire that is provided and spend time outside.

Great place to get away!
Beautiful setting in the middle of farm land. Very peaceful and quiet. Enjoy the crisp mornings and clean air. House was very large and nice. Can accommodate many. We enjoy the grounds, played games, made s'mores, flew kites, etc. Great place to disengage and just spend time with each other. No distractions. Would stay here again. Enjoyed the fireplace and it was great that wood was available to burn. Cable or satellite TV would be nice to have.

Memorable stay
We had a good stay at the property. The property had things for everyone- adults and juniors. The kids loved the play room and bunk beds. The only feedback is correction of the property address and giving directions to future guests on how to reach here as google maps often takes to a wrong address which is a private property

Best place for a family reunion
This cabin was ideal for a reunion! Plenty of room. Kitchen was huge and has 2 fridges and a freezer. Yard was huge and had lots of room to do our family Olympics and outdoor activities. Front room very big. We had 28 people and never felt we were on top of one another. The owner is wonderful and very accommodating! Loved it and want to rent it again!

The owner, Jim, couldn’t have been more helpful and welcoming. It was nice working with him instead of a 3rd party property management. We look forward to renting this place again hopefully!

A great thanksgiving!
With the exception of the neighbor who felt like he had the authority to speak to both adults and grandchildren and to evict us, it was a wonderful place to be together. The quickness getting hot water back was much appreciated and the heavy snowfall was a beautiful bonus along with giving our snow tires and 4wheel drive a great workout. Hope to use you again!

PROS & CONS
The house its self is nice and worked well for us. The problems that I found were DEAD flies, bugs, cricketts,and spiders along with a few live ones of each. Had to sweep downstairs floors before families with babies on floors showed up. And did I mention the mice issue..live, dead and tracks everywhere..
Good note, plenty of fire wood, great fires, comfortable beds and furniture and we wanted to use the outdoor fire pits but was a bit chilly at nights for small ones to be out, but will look forward to that next time. We were all warm and cozy inside and enjoyed our time together. The owners are delightful to work with and very helpful.
Suggestions I would have: would be..cleaning the day before guest arrive instead of 2wks ahead, another drain plug for kitchen sink only one was there, let people know what kind of coffee machine is there so they can bring the right coffee ( and maybe that is stated and I missed it) 1 pot holder was there so maybe a few more and we were unable to locate a meat themo. None of these things would probably keep us away from renting again BUT the bug and rodent issue may have a impact on giving a second thought. Thank you though for all the good things and above all you willingness to accomidate and for the memories that we were able to make this yet another year with our family. THANK YOU.

Large house
Nice house but there were a lot of flies in the house, dead and alive. The property is very secluded, which we liked. It would have been nice to have had cable TV but there is so much to do that you don't really need it. There are 2 refrigerators which was nice. I would have given the house 5 stars but for the dead flies and spiders.

Taylor Reunion
We had a very enjoyable stay. The cabin was spacious and very well supplied with all the necessities for a large group. We were somewhat stressed about the extremely sensitive neighbor. Our only complaint was the neighbor's dog that barked every night and interrupted our sleep. Overall, we had a wonderful experience.

FunFunFun -
It is set up just right for a large family. We had 18 grandchildren , age 12 and under and their parents. They loved the yard, the bunk room and play room. As grandparents and parents, we loved that there were places for all of us to eat together, the kitchen was very efficient and well stocked. Thanks for ordering up the beautiful weather, We enjoyed our day trips Yellowstone, floating on rafts on Warm River . It was great. The Wall Fam

The Red Barn
We held a family reunion here. Even had red t-shirts made for everyone with a picture of the barn. The grandkids were awestruck by the circular staircase to the third floor, bedrooms, play areas, knotty pine and more. Large and small gathering areas inside for activities and/or private talks. Huge playground for outdoor activities including volleyball, battleball, frisbees and marshmellow roasts. Very memorable.

Spacious, clean, inviting
I booked this property for a family reunion and everyone in our group loved it! The kids enjoyed staying in the bunk room and hanging out in the game room. We spent a lot of time outside, eating most of our meals on the picnic tables and playing in the big yard. We had fun roasting marshmallows on the gas fire pit. I like that this property had extra chairs, blankets, outdoor towels, large group gathering areas, and nice bedrooms. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Amazing!
The house was huge, clean and accommodating! There were extra amenities including garbage bags, shampoo, conditioner, soap, linens, etc. Knowing there were sensitive neighbors nearby made things a bit stressful. We would definitely use this place again!
