We built it for the guest lists that didn't fit.
Couples kept falling for the Century Barn and then telling us their guest list wouldn't fit. So in 2017 we took a barn on our other property, about 7 miles away on the north edge of Adair, and went big.
We added large bathrooms, rooms for the wedding party to get ready, and a bar of its own. Then Tim and his crew spent a long, careful stretch building a 60×100 ceremony hall out of full tree-sized logs and beams, joined with metal work designed by our local welding shop.
It's a lot of room, and it still feels like a barn.

Good to know.
Can we rent just one day?
Yes. You can book a whole weekend (Thursday through Sunday) or a single day. If the afternoon before or morning after is still open 90 days out, you can add it for $500 each.
How does the bar work?
We work with a local nonprofit that holds the liquor license for the bar at Barn on the Hill. All alcohol on the property has to be bought through that license, so outside alcohol isn't allowed. Ask us for drink pricing.
Is it close to the interstate?
Very. It's on the north edge of Adair, just off I-80 at Exit 76.
