20 Updated Barns On Airbnb For The Perfect Country Getaway

Barns may have once been the domain of farm animals; however, these days many have been converted into stylish homes for humans. When that happens, the spaces that were formerly filled with saddles, hay, and other items for horses, cows, and perhaps goats or pigs are replaced with whatever the owners' hearts desire. That could result in a residence that sticks with the country vibe or one that turns to super-modern minimalism. If this prospect is something that piques your interest, you'll want to be sure to consider various factors before you get your own barn transformation project started. You'll need to find out everything you can about your particular barn, figure out how the space can be best used in a new way, ensure you have a proper budget, and you may want to consult a pro, according to The Cottage Market.

Of course, if you're not interested in taking on a barn renovation yourself, then you can go ahead and buy a barn that's already been updated. For instance, a renovated barn in Wisconsin hit the market for $945,000 while another in Indiana went up for under $800,000. Granted, before you spend that kind of money, you could temporarily test out what it's like to live in a converted farm building by booking one of these updated barns that can be found on Airbnb.
