Finding Your Hideaway

We are at the top of a horseshoe, so you may arrive from either direction. If you see the Church, you’re almost here! Two circular signs for Walnut Barn Estate will welcome you. Look for the stone barn with “Walnut Barn” painted in white on the gable.
The wooden electric gates are to the left. Enter code 1210. The gates will open automatically when you leave.
