Welcome to Your Winter Retreat at the Little Barn on Oostema Farmstead
Escape to the Little Barn for a magical winter getaway nestled in the serenity of Oostema Farmstead. Perfect for those who love the outdoors but cherish the comfort of a cozy cabin, our barn is your gateway to a seamless adventure with the added coziness of solid walls and a warm roof overhead.
As you step inside, you'll be greeted by a charming rustic cabin atmosphere complete with a plush queen bed and a wall heater to keep you toasty on chilly nights. The setup is ideal for traveling light and focusing on the beautiful snowy mountain landscapes just outside your door. For the full glamping experience, we ask you to bring your own sleeping bag or bedding, though the barn is equipped with all the essentials for a comfortable stay.
Outside, the winter tranquility of our 117-acre farmstead unfolds. Home to wagyu cows and other friendly farm animals, you can explore snowy mountains nearby or enjoy quiet moments by your private fire pit. The Little Barn offers an intimate setting, often being one of the few accommodations occupied on the property during the winter season, ensuring a peaceful and private experience.
For those ready to venture beyond the farm, the enchanting towns of Lynden and Bellingham are just a short drive away, offering quaint shops, eateries, and winter activities.
