Frequently Asked Questions

The Red Barn & Garden is the name of our newly renovated barn and surrounding property, on which gardens are being grown and tended, with more plants and trees to come! 

The Red Barn & Garden is an hour north west of Minneapolis, and 20 minutes east of St. Cloud. It is 15 minutes directly north of Becker, Minnesota. Other surrounding cities are Foley, Milaca, Princeton, Zimmerman, Big Lake and Elk River Minnesota

There is no air conditioning in the Red Barn. In the summer months, it does tend to stay cooler due to the cement walls. We open the large barn doors during summer events to provide good cross ventilation. There are retractable screens for bug control. Several electric fans are available. In the cooler months, the corner stove can be used. However, the barn is unavailable in temperatures under 30 degrees, and therefore is usually not rented out from December through April.

The Red Barn & Garden has a parking area just north of the barn and homestead.  There is a quaint pathway running from the parking  lot to the Red Barn, enabling guests to enjoy the stroll through the new gardens, flower beds and charming structures along the way.
