Oshtemo's newest rental venue is an authentic timber frame barn, fashioned of mortise and tenon joinery secured by wooden pegs. The framing was built with locally harvested timbers and constructed by local craftsmen. It features exposed beams and trusses, beautifully finished walls and woodwork, ample windows, and a wide covered porch. Murals depicting the historic farm in the 1800's, created by local artist Conrad Kaufman, add charm to the unique space.
Reservations must be made in-person with 7 days advanced notice. Rental spaces are not secured until payment is made in full.
