Unique getaways are all the rage and with Airbnb, we can certainly find an extraordinary place with plenty of singular attributes and character to spend the night. One such place you may be interested in is the Mule Barn Airbnb in Illinois. Transformed from a rustic barn into more modern digs, you can enjoy a wonderfully comfortable stay at this one-of-a-kind place.
Located by the I&M Canal in North Utica, the Mule Barn is an Airbnb that was once an actual barn. The stall, hayloft, and bays have been transformed into comfortable living quarters with a cozy, rustic feel.
This two-story abode just oozes charm and character! You'll find many elements of the old barn incorporated into the more modernized design.
On the ground level is where you'll find the kitchenette, living room, and library. Take the stairs to the second level for the bathroom and sleeping quarters.
The kitchenette area has a fridge, microwave, induction burner, crockpot, and coffee maker. You're a bit limited if you want to cook a full meal here. However, the Mule Barn is located a mere two blocks from downtown North Utica where you'll find plenty of excellent restaurants.
Grab a book from the library and settle down in a comfy chair in front of the fireplace as you read. What a great way to relax and unwind during your stay!
Upstairs, you'll find two bedrooms. The main bedroom occupies what was once the barn's hayloft. Remnants of the hayloft can still be seen, specifically the exposed wall.
The incorporation of original barn elements original into the Airbnb's design is part of what makes it so charming!
The second bedroom has a twin bed with a trundle. Access to the bathroom, shared with the main bedroom, is through a barn door.
The bathroom is fairly large with a shower and a sink that was salvaged from a canal house. Just another unique aspect to the Mule Barn!
