The Gray Barn - High Falls

Couldn't say enough good things about this bed and breakfast. From the moment we entered, we felt calm and greeted. The structure itself and the rooms are just a beautiful view over the valley below. Breakfast was amazing and delicious. We could have eaten all day. Had a wonderful tour in the morning and hit all the animals. Can't wait to go back.

We are here celebrating our anniversary. The Gray Barn is stunning. The aesthetic inside is perfect and cozy. Stocked with books and games. The breakfast is incredible! And the tour was awesome. I would 10/10 recommend!

The Gray Barn was closed for a long time due to Covid, and we eagerly booked a weekend reservation as soon as they reopened. This place is truly a haven, offering peace and happiness that can be hard to find in the world. Visitors may not see the challenging side of the work done by the staff and veterinarians to save farm animals, but they can appreciate the joy of the animals that have been rescued. The inn has 5 rooms spread across 3 upper floors and 2 lower floors. The common areas are spacious, and guests can help themselves to the large refrigerator stocked with water, wine, and ice packs. Adjacent to the inn is the Tiny Herd Barn, home to a friendly family of goats that love receiving scratches from visitors. Breakfast, prepared by the Hotel manager Reya, is served from 8:30 to 9:30 and is not to be missed. We enjoyed delicious mini quiches and pancakes during our stay, along with excellent coffee. Reya even packed leftovers for us to snack on later. We were touched by Reya's stories about the work done at the animal rescue. A private tour for inn guests is offered on Fridays at 5, and we highly recommend taking it. We also joined a public tour, which was informative and eye-opening. Be sure to wear boots that can be easily cleaned, as you will be walking through pens and barns. The Bunny Barn is now open, and we had the opportunity to feed Alfalfa-Nubs to the adorable cow Colin. Our guide, Anna, knew all the animals by name, which was impressive. We saw many children on the tour, and it was heartwarming to see them learn about agriculture in a truthful and respectful manner. We are looking forward to returning and possibly volunteering next time. With 400 animals and 150 acres to explore, there is plenty to see and do. Book your stay early, as the inn is only open Thursday to Sunday and fills up quickly.

The accommodation consists of 5 cozy rooms, with spacious common areas where guests can store their beverages and snacks in the large fridge. Just next to the hotel is the charming Tiniest Herd barn, home to a delightful family of goats who eagerly await scratches from passersby. The highlight of our stay was the delicious breakfasts prepared by the hotel manager, Reya, served promptly from 8:30 to 9:30 each morning. Reya's culinary creations, including mini quiches, pancakes, and cheddar scones, were accompanied by excellent coffee that didn't require us to bring our own creamer. Leftover food was thoughtfully packed in the fridge for later snacking, a thoughtful touch that we appreciated. Reya also shared captivating stories of her experiences in animal rescue, making our stay truly memorable. Guests can enjoy a private tour on Fridays at 5, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the animal sanctuary. We also joined a public tour to learn more about the residents, making sure to wear boots that could be easily rinsed off as we explored the pens and barns. The newly opened Bunny Barn allowed us to interact with the animals, including feeding alfalfa to the friendly cow, Colin. The knowledgeable guide, Anna, impressed us with her familiarity with each animal's name, and we were delighted to see children on the tours learning about farming in a respectful manner. The opportunity to volunteer at the sanctuary was enticing, and we plan to participate on our next visit. With 400 animals and 150 acres to explore, there is much to see and do at the Gray Barn, making us eager to return. However, bookings fill up quickly as the Barn is only open Thursday to Sunday, with availability already limited for the remainder of the year. We highly recommend planning ahead to secure your spot at this tranquil and enriching retreat.
