About this home

The Barnard Inn has been a cherished destination for gracious hospitality and exquisite dining for generations, housed in the historic 1796 Brick Federal homestead that was transformed into a popular gathering spot over 60 years ago. The Inn, spacious and elegant, is currently operated as an event destination venue by the chef-owner, has thrived under his guidance and that of talented and innovative owners since its establishment. The Inn featured original fireside dining rooms complemented by a rustic tavern that serves both classic and inventive 'pub' cuisine. The professional kitchen has undergone a thorough renovation, enhancing its efficiency and allowing for a diverse range of culinary styles and service requirements. Marketing opportunities abound, including the present use hosting of large weddings and events in both indoor and outdoor settings on the expansive lawns, which are adorned with flowering shrubs, mature shade trees, and natural landscaping. The main floor of the Inn has been reserved for public use, featuring the professional kitchen, tavern, and dining areas. The second and third floors offer private residential accommodations, including 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a beautifully designed open-concept country kitchen that leads to a spacious deck with views of the surrounding hills and fields. The early post & beam barn has been repurposed from agricultural use to serve as a venue for events and short-term rentals, including a 'hot' (or not) yoga studio located on one of the three levels. The main level, which features an overlooking hay loft, can host groups of dinner guests or 100 for casual events. A fully permitted 2-bedroom building site overlooking the spring-fed pond has been approved with additional sites potentially available through the reallocation of the existing septic system. The location is ideal for ‘glamping’ with nearby Silver Lake, miles of trails and outdoor recreational activities drawing tourists throughout the year.
