Scott Brzezowski

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), August 2025

So many family memories made here! All of us had so much fun with so many activities to do. We especially loved the pool, the hot tub, the slide and the movie room! The corn field in the backyard was beautiful with the valley behind it! We went to a sandbar down the road and loved playing at the beach too! Kyle was great to communicate with. Easy check in and out. The only improvements could have been the dryer— it took forever to dry clothes, the toilet across from the washroom did not flush well and the tub near the movie room leaked and wouldn’t fill up. We also needed to buy extra dishwasher pods as we didn’t have any. Overall a great stay and would recommend!

Caitey Redeker

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), August 2025

Had a great time. The kids loved all the games. The pool and hot tub were a big hit. The kitchen was more spacious than it appeared in the listing and well stocked with dishes, utensils, etc. There was plenty of room to hang out in the living room and in the extra area outside the bunk room. We used the fire pit several nights and it was great to have the grassy areas around the barn. The view from the deck was beautiful, especially in the morning. I did have an issue with the bedroom count. I went in fully expecting 5 bedrooms and a bunk room. One of the bedrooms was a loft (which I was aware of) but it looked down into the bedroom below and was accessible by a ladder made of 2 x 4's that went straight up through an access hatch. This was not obvious in the listing. Hard to climb and we could not use it. To get to the movie room or weight room you had to walk through another bedroom, so very little privacy in that room. A floor plan on the listing might have been helpful.

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), August 2025

Great place, had all the amenities they listed

Jim Fransen

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), July 2025

The home has great potential. We had several issues from the wifi being terrible, TV in main area was logged into someone else’s account and we could not get it off. TV upstairs was missing cord, floors and cupboards were dirty. Refrigerator was leaking, not making water or ice. He did graciously send water which was appreciated. He sent someone for maintenance but it didn’t resolve the leaking, toilet across from laundry rain constantly so we most of the soft water was used there. The ceiling fan squeaked we couldn’t use above kitchen, the upstairs did not cool at all. The amenities and games were wonderful to have and we made the best of the other.

Amber Griffith

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), July 2025

Our family of 13 all had plenty of room and lots of activities to do. The pool was a big hit. Please note the room with the two twin beds requires climbing a steep ladder to get into. Good for kids, maybe not so much for older adults. Devils lake state park, The great Sauk trail, Vintage Brewing in Prairie Du Sac, and Blue Mound State Park are all within 20-45 min drive. We had a nice time overall and Kyle communicated well.

Brittney

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), July 2025

We had a great time, lots to do on the property. A few issues with cleanliness and lack of supplies in the house but Kyle took care of it and also refunded some money. A bit pricey per night, however, would recommend to others.

Lynanne Hike

Had a great time and really enjoyed the space!!

Deven Hill

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), June 2025

When I got to the barn, I immediately felt the magic of small town Wisconsin. The barn had wonderful facilities, lots of space, and beautiful wooden interior. I would recommend this place to any prospective cabin guests who crave an outdoor experience.

Tyler Davidowitz

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), June 2025

We booked the place as a gift from my parents to the family. We have 10 kids and 14 adults. There was a discrepancy on the listing. Picture of the pool says it’s open June, July and August. We got there June 1. Saw the pool was closed (biggest reason of renting the place with 10 kids). Messaged owner about it, only to be told it’s Mid June that it opens. Was very disappointed with that. The kitchen lacked essentials like a baking sheet, pot holders and mixing bowls. Bring items if you plan on actually cooking. One of the bathroom doors locked but could be pushed right open, another bathroom door was a barn door that left a 2 inch gap so people could easily look in. Lots of bugs in the mini golf area and pool table with only 1 cue stick. Found about 10 more but all broken. My husband was able to fix one but that only gave us 2. One side of the Sauna bench was not secure and dipped when you sat. For the amount of money we paid for a Sunday to Tuesday stay we were pretty disappointed.

Tera Cuellar

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), June 2025

We had such an amazing stay! Kyle’s space was the perfect setting for our friend group getaway over Memorial Day weekend. The home was comfortable, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed to relax, laugh, and connect as a group. From game nights (we set up our own mini decathlon with all the different amenities!) to cooking together and just hanging out, the space truly brought everyone closer—it felt like our own little retreat. Kyle was a great host . We ran into a couple of housecleaning issues but he was very accommodating and resolved our concerns. Thank you for making this stay so memorable! We’re already talking about another trip!

Christine Abrego

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), June 2025

I enjoyed the stay at Big Sky Barnhouse. There were so many fun activities at the house to use and we took advantage of them all. It was the perfect place for our group. I did not realize that the pool was not open until a few more weeks and would’ve loved to have this amenity. The wifi in the main house didn’t work and we were not given the correct WiFi in the party shed. Although we were not able to resolve the issue Kyle was responsive in my communication with him. I would definitely recommend this place to others and would stay here again.

Charlie Meyers

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), June 2025

We had a great time and enjoyed all of the amenities and farmer’s markets nearby.

Melissa Wzorek

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), May 2025

Large barnhouse with plenty of rooms and bathrooms for a big group. It was great having activities on location for a bonfire, games, and hot tub. Beautiful view out the back door.

Kristi Lueschow

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), May 2025

Went for a bachelorette party with 14 people! The views are so nice & the house had lots of natural light! Had enough space for everyone but was a little disappointed with the kitchen…there were no sheet pans or pizza pans & with the amenities we had planned for late night snacks & we had to run to dollar general 10-15 minutes away to purchase pans.

Kelsie Roth

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), April 2025

Awesome place!

Lori And Edward Eidson

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), April 2025

Absolutely awesome time having my Bachelor Party at the Big Sky Barnhouse. The place is huge, private, and had plenty of things for all of my friends to do all weekend. I would recommend this as a bachelor party, a family get together, or just an awesome place to hangout with friends for any sort of weekend getaway.

Grant Keith

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), April 2025

Great stay for 4 families over spring break. Plenty to do to keep all ages occupied on site. Host was responsive and made process easy. We look forward to checking out their other properties!

Meghan Showen

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), March 2025

We stayed here for a mini getaway for spring break! The house and party shed had everything we would need to have a super fun time! It kept everyone busy! I don’t have any complaints. We are already looking at the other barnhouse properties for a future stay!

Merrisa Balthazor

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), March 2025

Great place to spend a fun weekend with friends.

Chris Saenz

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), March 2025

A great space to gather with lots of small kids. We all had a blast, kids and adults. It's nice not having to go anywhere for activities for the whole family!

Carrie Jo Carpenter

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), February 2025

The stay was great, and Kyle was extremely responsive to our requests. Only downside was there was quite a few rooms that were not clean when we arrived and had to do some clean-up from the last crew, but overall everything else was good.

Ross Cady

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), February 2025

Perfect getaway for a large family get together! Lots for kids of all ages to stay occupied with games, sporting equipment, gaming, entertainment room and relaxing atmosphere for adults to just "chill". Comfortable beds and linens. The huge hot tub was greatly enjoyed by everyone!!

Sharon Springer

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), February 2025

We had a great time at the Big Sky Barnhouse! It was so nice to have lots of things to do right there so there was no reason to go anywhere else. It was clean and check in and check out were very simple. It made our stay stress free. We would definitely stay there again.

Elizabeth Bailey

Amazing place. Really enjoyed

Polina Kazanskaia

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), December 2024

We had an awesome time at this epic barn and our kids loved every second of it. Would absolutely come back!

Sheri Ciccarelli

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), November 2024

We had a great time at the Big Sky Barnhouse. The games and unique property made it very memorable for our group. Kyle was easy to work with and everything was stress free. Wonderful property, highly recommend.

Jarred Cornfield

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), November 2024

We stayed with several couples and had an adult weekend. The barn/place had everything to keep us entertained. There was an issue with the internet the first evening, but Kyle was quick to respond and got it up and running by the next morning. Easily would come back next year!

Sarah Rosenthal

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), November 2024

It was a great weekend get away for our family. We put our phones down and just enjoyed all of the video games, mini golf, pool and ping pong. The adults also had a chance to use the sauna and hot tub. It was so great finding a house that could sleep all 16 of us.

Dawn Coppersmith

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), November 2024

We were able to check in early. The space accommodated everyone! We weren’t even able to do all the things because there was so much to do! A great place to spend your birthday weekend with a bunch of friends!

Britni Steinberg

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), November 2024

Great time!

Elliot Siekmann

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), October 2024

We used the stay for my husbands 40th birthday celebration. Everyone really enjoyed it. One day the boys all golfed while the ladies went to the winery. The space was perfect. Everyone said the beds were comfortable. Only weird thing was once we got the house we all lost service until connecting to the wifi. Everyone had a great time and wants me to look into planning a trip at one of the other big sky locations!

Adria Crowley

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), October 2024

Hosted a group gathering at the Big Sky Barn and it was absolutely perfect! The barn was beautiful and fit everyone comfortably. The amenities gave us lots to do, from the fire pit, playing trivia in the theater, the hot tub, and playing pool in the shed. The host was very helpful and responsive to every question we had. And view from the barn was gorgeous!! Would highly recommend this barn to anyone looking to host a large group!

Sophia Wilt

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), October 2024

We had a GREAT time at the Big Sky Barnhouse this past weekend! Kyle was very kind & accommodating. The house was beautiful and everyone had a ton of fun with the pool, hot tub, mini golf, arcade, and more! Check in/out was easy and the house was what we expected! The beds were also very comfortable. We also had a birthday party at the house & Kyle made that a breeze, parking wasn’t an issue at all. 10/10 on amenities & customer service! My only “feedback” or heads up would be to bring kitchen stuff such as plastic wrap, zip lock bags, tin foil, kitchen wash cloths, etc. because those things were not provided. But that’s on us for not considering those things when packing. House was amazing, I would absolutely recommend!

Ashlyn Moon

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), September 2024

Great place for our yearly guys’ trip. Plenty to do without leaving the barn. Thanks for keeping the pool open for us!

Lynn Laszewski

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), August 2024

Stayed a long weekend with 11 of my closest girls for my bachelorette party and no one had anything negative to say about Kyle’s property. It’s on a beautiful space and there is so much to do around the property! Swim, hot tub, mini-golf, grill out, bon fire, movie theater, arcade, darts, pool table, ping pong. The Wisconsin River is nearby for a beach day or kayaking. We went to a delicious restaurant only 25 minutes away called Vintage Brewing Company. The pool was a perfect temperature and the hot tub was huge and so relaxing! Also weird, but at least five girls commented on how comfortable the mattresses were! Everything was clean and there were plenty of utensils and pots and pans available in the kitchen. We would definitely bring a group back again, it’s the perfect space for a family reunion, bachelor/ette party, or a friends vacation!

Raeanne LaBrosse

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), August 2024

We had a lovely family vacation at Kyle’s Barnhouse! With age ranges from 3-60 there was fun for everyone! Our favorites were mini golf, Ms. Pac-Man, Skee Ball, swimming, hot tubbing, ping pong and smores by the fire pit! So many amenities allowed us to make the most of our time at the barn. Plus, the kitchen was extremely well stocked! Outside of the barnhouse, we also were able to go to the Cave on the Mounds. If you need a local restaurant recommendation, my family enjoyed Vintage Brewing. And for local coffee, check out 1855 Coffee House just one town over.

Hannah Berger

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), August 2024

We had the best stay making memories with adult kids and grandkids. So much to do for all ages! Will definitely be back

Betty Harksen

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), August 2024

Our family had a great stay here. The kids loved all the games, pool, and other fun things at the house.

Erin Elliott

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), August 2024

Place was awesome for our family trip. The kids loved the outdoor pool and the adults loved the party shed with a hot tub, sauna, ping pong and pool table. Overall we had a great vacation.

Dustin Oler

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), August 2024

This is a great place to hang with the family. we had ppl from 1 to 70. Everyone had a great time. The heated pool was a huge hit with the littles! The older adult kids loved the jacuzzi and the whole game shed. Everything was as it is described. We had a few issues and msged Kyle. He took care of it right away! So don't hesitate to contact him if anything isn't up to par. He is very friendly. The only negative was the mosquitos at night by the fire...but bring bug repellent and you will be fine...this is Wisconsin and we have mosquitos.

Teri Slifer

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), July 2024

Positives: 1. The host was kind and receptive. 2. Game barn 3. Fire pit Negatives: 1. Advertised as 6 bedrooms, but there were only 5. Half of the of the bedrooms and some of the bathroom doors either do not lock or stay shut. 2. The pool was smaller than it appears in the photos, and is connected to a different house that was cropped out of the photos. It felt like we were swimming in someone else’s backyard. The pool was also not heated as advertised. 4. It is right off of a busy highway, and you can smell the manure on the farmland. It was also very buggy.

Nina Meekhof

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), July 2024

We really enjoyed our stay at the barn! It was great to accommodate our whole family without any stress over where to sleep. The place was clean and has the listed amenities! We had some issues with A/C getting to one of the rooms at the beginning where one of the rooms wasn’t comfortable to sleep in but Kyle was very responsive and it eventually got much better in there. The kids and adults loved the pool, hot tub, and mini golf! Some of the arcade games did not function properly, buttons/controls just didn’t work so the game wasn’t playable. In addition, most of the billiards cues were broken, as well as the ping pong paddles. Overall though our family had a great time and loved having the ability to all get together!

Elizabeth Jones

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), July 2024

Kyle’s place had so much to do and we truly enjoyed our trip. This time of year meant lots of bugs so keep that in mind when visiting. Tiki torches or something to keep bugs away is definitely needed. We were unable to use the whirlpool due to how dirty the folks before us left it which was a bummer. We had a small issue with the linens but Kyle was very responsive and his cleaner was very helpful and kind. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and we all slept great. This is a great place for a big family!

Alondra Sanchez

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), July 2024

The summer rates were higher than I budget but I booked anyway based on the amenities and it wasn't too far for all my kids and grandkids to meet there. The amenities were great. Even with the rain the grandkids (and adult kids) didn't run out of things to do.

Janet Cooper

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), July 2024

Absolutely gorgeous location and perfect for a larger group. Plenty of beds and even rain did not change our plans, so much to do indoors! The game barn was packed with so much to do. We enjoyed pool, ping pong, and darts and can’t forget the huge hot tub. Check in was easy and check out was clear. Thank you for sharing this with us, it was perfect :)

Jordyn Schultz

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), June 2024

Donna Dallio-Gaetz

Big Sky Barnhouse (Arena, WI), June 2024

Our family group had a great time! Plenty to do for all ages! The host, Kyle was quick to respond to a couple of questions I had and all of the instructions were clear, so we enjoyed our time there. Clean, comfortable, roomy and so much to do! The grandkids went from one activity to next and were never bored! The adults enjoyed gathering in the comfortable living room and playing games around the big table. A great place for our family gathering!
