Red Barn @ Black Earth in Madison

Red Barn @ Black Earth is a unique country retreat nestled in the
rolling hills of Vermont Township just 20 minutes from Madison,
Wisconsin, and three hours from Chicago. The converted dairy barn
offers comfortable accommodations with six bedrooms and three
bathrooms, making it perfect for friends, families or groups looking
for a retreat in a beautiful rural setting. In addition to beds that
will sleep 17, there are various loft spaces where kids love to bed
down with air mattresses or sleeping bags.
There are six bedrooms that include: the butterfly room (double bed);
the flower room (a double and two singles); the bird room (a double
and two singles); the Japanese room (a king); the portrait room (a
double and a single) and the forest room (double).

The barn features a large deck perfect for evening cocktails, two
woodburning fireplaces, and a three-season sun porch. Striking
architectural features include a four-story spiral staircase in the
original silo and a south-facing wall of glass in the great room. The
soaring great room, decorated with leather couches and funky antiques,
can seat 24 for a sit-down dinner. The well-stocked kitchen features
two dishwashers, two sinks, a large island with seating for six,
microwave, oven, vintage Chambers stove, and Russell Wright dishware
for a crowd. Guests may also grill on the patio. For large groups
there is an additional refrigerator in the basement. The property has
air-conditioning.

The barn is located on a wooded 78-acre parcel with hiking trails and
scenic lookouts. Antiquing, golf, biking, motorcycling and hunting
are popular pursuits in the area, and visitors may also want to check
out the quaint small towns nearby or visit Madison and its gorgeous
lakes. The annual Horribly Hilly bike race begins just minutes away
and the renowned House on the Rock and Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin
are a short drive from the barn. Charming Mount Horeb, with its
world-famous Mustard Museum, Trollway and many antique shops, is less
than 10 miles away. The Swiss settlement of New Glarus, also nearby,
features interesting shops and Wisconsin brews and cheeses. Art lovers
will be drawn to the one-of-a-kind outsider artists who have settled
in this area.
