Upon arrival the first night we were greeted by Michelle and Michael who were very friendly and welcoming. Relaxed with some chamomile tea and went to sleep in the Moss room. Awoke both days to delicious, healthy and beautifully presented breakfasts. It was such a nice treat for me to get such wonderfully delicious and nutritious meals and not have to do any of the cooking for a change. Michelle is such a talented chef and went out of her way to make sure we enjoyed the food and had everything we needed. Even my meat loving boyfriend enjoyed the food!
The property is really nice and walking around the pond and seeing their beautiful garden was very enjoyable.
I hope to come back soon for one of Michelle's cooking weekends!
My husband and I had our honeymoon at Turquoise Barn and loved it! We stayed in the Rosa Room in the B & B, which was beautiful and very comfortable. The negative reviews are for their hostel (which is quite rustic but very affordable), because they definitely have a lovely B & B with two enclosed rooms with private baths (and more rooms coming soon). The breakfast is delicious and healthy- smoothies, tofu scramble, chia pudding, fruits, etc. Our only wish was for slightly larger portion sizes since we found ourselves hungry after a couple hours and the food was so delicious. Michelle is a very friendly host and we had lots of interesting conversations, and she has tons of information on local activities, attractions, and restaurants.
Review Source:Great choice to stay if you are a nature lover and enjoy raw/veg meals. Rosa Room is our favorite...I want to take the bathtub home with me. The whole property uses fresh-spring water, so it makes for the best baths and showers in the world. Owners are great, area is amazing, breakfast is delish! We enjoyed our stay so much in June, we're going again this weekend. Thanks for sharing your little piece of heaven, Michelle and Michael.
Review Source:I went to Turquioise Barn this past weekend with two friends and can't wait to go back! Â The owners are extremely hospitable and so very interesting to talk to. Â The breakfasts were great and next time I'd like to have dinner there also. Â The house is incredible, with Michelle and Michael's artwork and wood pieces throughout. Â Great experience and I highly recommend it!
Review Source:Turquoise Barn is absolutely perfect. I went here last august as a gift for my boyfriend's birthday. I was excited to find the place because he has a lot of food restrictions due to lyme disease on top of being a vegetarian. Michelle and her husband Michael could not have been more accommodating. The food they made was delicious and served on the beautiful porch outside. The house itself was gorgeous and the landscape even better. She gave us some recommendations for places to see during the day. We went to the local downtown area (very small but cute) and then found a family with a field of blueberry plants growing behind their house. We could pick blueberries for $5 a pound, which is actually an impossible feat. At night, Michelle and MIchael had a bonfire outside for the guests, complete with homemade popcorn. They had many great foods and gifts for sale in their barn/store out back.
Turquoise Barn was well worth the price for a beautiful setting, friendly family, and delicious homemade and healthy meals.
My boyfriend (newly vegan, newly raw, quite enthusiastic) found this place online and took me there the first weekend in October. Â Michelle (the owner) assured us that it would be a great weekend for foliage, hiking and exploring. Â (She was right, it was chilly but gorgeous, sunny and crisp.) Â She was really great about answering all of our questions and addressing our concerns before we came. Â There were some pretty bad storms which caused flooding in the area the day that we came, and she emailed to make sure that we checked our routes and avoided washed-out bridges and roads, which turned out not to be a problem anyway. Â (But it was very thoughtful.)
We got in a bit late and were greeted by Michael, her husband. Â He was so warm, we felt at home right away. Â Michael was the main architect for the project, and the main house is big and open with a nice flow and really unique, interesting details and spaces. Â He made much of the furniture, as well, so almost everywhere you look there is something beautiful and interesting to catch your eye. Â
When we got to our suite, I was struck by how the thoughtful decoration left me feeling that the space was warm, interesting and yet it was fairly sparse, leaving room for us to unpack and spread out and make it our own, even if just for a few days. Â It was a nice change from other B&Bs that clutter all surfaces with cute little "this'n'that". Â
We had a modern shower and a classic old claw-foot bathtub, a huge, comfortable bed, a large mini -fridge for all our veggie snacks, a gorgeous view of the garden, barn, mountain, trees, chickens, etc. Â
I am a raw vegan chef, and I think that raw breakfast is fairly easy to do well. Â Michelle's was yummy, but more impressive, it was really beautiful. Â She is an artist, and it shows in her presentation. Â We had fresh mint tea from the garden, chia pudding, fresh fruit, smoothies, coffee... Â Everything was really yummy and Michelle was there for a chat over tea in the afternoon, which was lovely. Â
The whole place is beautiful and interesting and unique. Â Michelle, Michael and Miguel (their son) were wonderful and friendly. Â We kept noticing how we felt more like house guests than customers. Â We (my boyfriend and I) are both looking forward to going back, and would definitely recommend the Turquoise Barn to any veggie lovers out there who want a beautiful vacation. Â
PS, don't miss the tours of the other two barns, one is a hostel/kitchen/living/studio space, the other is a gallery/store. Â We brought home a beautiful piece of woodwork which is now hanging in our living room. Â The perfect souvenir. Â ;)
My boyfriend and I went here for my birthday last Fall. We were excited for months before hand since this was out first getaway together. Unfortunately, we arrived and the whole place is open. The room is right next to the family's rooms and none of them have ceilings or enclosed walls. There is very little privacy. We spoke to the owners and they said they would give us a partial refund (they were very nice) and we found another place. Unfortunately, they never did give us a refund and its been almost a year. Wished it had been different. We are very positive people and don't like to complain.
