I stayed in the standard area of The Barn as a solo traveler and felt very safe during my stay! I stayed for two nights. Both nights my dorm was full, but the second night I found myself as the only woman with less-than-courteous dorm mates. The Barn staff was helpful in finding me a new dorm, which I really appreciated. I would stay here again.

We loved the location within driving distance of town and beach. The bed was comfortable, room & bathroom were very spacious, and the room was clean and seemed modern.
