Wild Sage Barn | In-town Historic Retreat

Wild Sage Barn was built in the 1800's by German immigrant settlers. Originally, it was a two-story barn made of hand-hewed limestone. Renovations added a living area, kitchen and bath. Authenticity of early settlers is found on some of the door frames which has penciled accounts of crop yields for 1889 and 1890. Built on a ten acre “out lot”, today it maintains the countryside atmosphere on the current two acres, even though it is located a few blocks from Main Street.

Inside this elegant barn you will enjoy the magnificence of the high beamed ceilings and original shake ceiling over the original part of the house. The master bedroom is a loft overlooking the fireplace in the open living area. It is majestically decorated with a king bed as the focal point of the room and topped with a beautiful comforter and skirt.

The living area, kitchen and bath have rustic cedar walls and ceiling. A limestone fireplace with a Texas Lone Star is delightful on a cool day. The kitchen is equipped for light cooking. A clawfoot tub in the bathroom overlooks a large oak tree and wildlife from the wooded area, providing privacy and relaxation.

Charm and comfort

Modern appliances and electricity aside, one can imagine what it would have been like to live in this comfortable cottage a century ago. The surrounding property is gorgeous, too, and worth a stroll. Our host was very welcoming and provided us with some interesting history. I recommend it.

This property was my Great Grandfathers and my dad grew up two houses down. It's amazing what the owner has done to it. The place has such charm and the bed is extremely comfortable. Loved waking up drinking coffee out on the patio watching the deer walk by. You won't be disappointed.

Owner was very friendly. The accommodations were excellent. The rain on the metal roof and the windmill brought back childhood memories. Would definitely stay again.

Anniversary Trip

We so enjoyed the ambiance of the rustic, yet well appointed Old Sage Barn. The back porch was perfect for morning coffee and evening wine, as we took in the beautiful area flora and fauna. One addition would render it a perfect experience: a fan attached to the patio cover. Our host was extremely helpful and gracious. Thanks for enhancing our 46th anniversary!

Quiet and Relaxing!

Wonderful quaint little 2 room cabin. we were surprised that the second room was downstairs/basement type but loved the atmosphere. We were also surprised that there was not an oven to use. However we improvised for our dinner and it was lovely. Sitting on the porch we saw gorgeous deer and a little coyote. Definitely the retreat we needed!! Thanks for hosting us!!

I was very pleased with the property. What I wasn't pleased about was the note in the cabin that said if we use the second bed we would be charged an additional $25!!! I paid for a 2 bedroom place .... why the extra charge???
