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.
There's a single queen bed in the barn, so this outing is perfect for both couples and solo travelers. Spend some time getting to know the place, and you'll never want to leave.
Settle in for the night after a delicious home-cooked meal and watch movies or, should you be a lover of stargazing, go outside and take in the thousands of stars above.
The place is also ultra-luxurious in the sense that it comes with plenty of amenities, including essentials! Make sure to look over their Airbnb page for a complete list of the stuff they supply for guests. It's pretty impressive!
Outdoorsy folks can go fishing in the nearby lake, or boating, if they've got the boat to do it with.
The place is also very close to several fun and fascinating attractions, including (but not limited to) Mansfield Mill, Raccoon Creek, and Turkey Run State Park.
There's really nothing quite like lounging in a rocking chair on the patio of an heirloom barn that's more than 80 years old.
The best part of this entire thing, we think (well, other than…everything), is that this particular rustic barn stay in Indiana is super-affordable, too – you won’t find yourself paying any more than you would for a basic hotel room, but in this case, the life experience you receive is probably more than worth the nightly cost alone! For the full list of amenities, lots more pictures, booking calendars, and more, definitely pay a visit to their Airbnb profile.
