Barren River Magic Peace Pipe Site

Peace Pipe

We had an amazing time staying here!! All the views were amazing from the cabin and everything was so peaceful. We didn’t hear anyone else, just the rain and wind blowing and an occasional bark. I loved the idea of their outdoor shower stalls. The hosts were so nice and helpful! We will definitely be coming back in the future

Barren River Magic Tent Camping

We camped in the river bottoms at the bottom of the hill. There were 21 of us and it felt very roomy and comfortable (plus it was ten degrees cooler down there than up the hill). The river is lazy but refreshing, and the place is absolutely beautiful. I recommend it!

Carriage House I

It was better for me than a tent and all that entails and the group I was with were camping in tents so I could still participate in the retreat.
