Easy Lake Life — Just 3 Minutes Away

One of our favorite parts of staying at The Barndo Retreat is how easy it is to enjoy a full day at Stone Lake.

The newly improved beach, boardwalk, and public pier offer swimming, fishing, and beautiful sunset views just minutes away. Guests can rent kayaks, paddleboards, and pedal boats seasonally, or simply spend the day building sandcastles, enjoying the water, and grabbing ice cream nearby.
