When people think about Indiana, they usually think “farmland,” and they’d be correct – nearly two-thirds of Indiana’s 23+ million acres of land are farmlands. When you’ve got 15+ million acres of farmlands in your midst, it’s easy to overlook them all as boring or old-hat. But what if you’re specifically searching for a super-unique place to stay for the weekend? You might want to consider staying in one of the most unique Airbnbs in Indiana – which just so happens to be inside a real barn, right on a real farm. This rustic barn stay in Indiana is absolutely perfect for getting away from the hustle-bustle of the big city.

What separates this particular barn from the countless others in the Hoosier state?

Well, for one, you can stay the night here, but even more amazingly, it was built by the host's great-grandfather back in 1938. It is, quite possibly, the only hand-made-by-family heirloom converted into a place to stay on Airbnb - at least in Indiana.
The property is still a working farm today, and guests come from all over to experience quiet life in the country.

The grounds are beautiful and green; during the warmer months, guests are invited to hand-pick some fresh veggies and really embrace the farm life. There are also plenty of critters around, too, for the animal lovers in us all.
A remarkably unique feature of this already-unique rustic barn stay is that, upon request, a private butcher shop is available on-site for the freshest meats straight from the farm.

There's a small kitchenette in the converted barn, and we cannot reiterate enough just how amazing legitimately farm-fresh food is. This stay will definitely teach you to appreciate it.
