The Tin Barn Lodge is a newly renovated pole barn which was originally constructed in 1951 to serve the needs of the Meyer family, original owners of the property. Their original house, which is now Comfort Cottage, is one of 3 houses on the property. It is rumored among Meyer descendants that there was a moonshine still on the property during prohibition, and the "bottle graveyard" in the middle creek area would tend to corroborate this rumor. In addition to the Meyer cottage, a second, smaller cottage formerly owned by the Mayer Family was moved onto the property in 2002, the same year in which the main house was built by yet another, different, Meyer family. The three houses comprise The Cottages on Mill Creek, a B&B and event center which has operated on the property. The Tin Barn area, though in close physical proximity to the cottages, is separated by a cattle guard, and the back area is quite private, though cottage guests do also have access to the fishing pond. The property is only 6 miles from Round Top Square. The town boasts world class classical music facilities (Festival Hill), art venues and galleries, and historical points of interest. Round Top is also home to an internationally-known antique show from mid-March to the beginning of April and mid-September to the beginning of October. Learn more about this land: Located on 35 acres just 6 miles from Round Top Square, this converted pole barn can host up to 6 people in air-conditioned comfort, or serve as a lodge for group tent camping. The 6 "bedables" were custom-designed to hold a comfy standard twin mattress. Want tables instead? The headboard holds the mattress in place and with a turn, you now have six sturdy tables for crafting and gathering. The space has a sitting area, kitchenette (microwave, mini-fridge, coffee maker) and a full bathroom. The sliding doors on the back open to a lovely grove that is perfect for group tent camping. If more privacy is desired, campers may prefer a more remote spot near the creek that runs through this 35 acre property. Miniature horses and 3 donkeys reside permanently on the property. Cattle is present on a rotating basis, but is kept distant from the lodge. Deer, coyotes, and other critters have been spotted in the pastures and near the creek. The barn is adjacent to a stocked fishing pond. There are 2 cottages and a main house which operate as The Cottages on Mill Creek bed and breakfast. The barn is across the cattle guard, but within sight of these buildings from the barn front entrance, but the back camping area is more secluded.

Tin Barn Lodge

Beautiful barn and extremely welcoming! I loved my stay and would definitely recommend staying. The breakfast was delicious and dietary restrictions were accommodated. The happy vibe from this place just rubs onto you as soon as you set foot. There’s a lake with plenty of fish and the animals are adorable. Cannot recommend a night here enough!

Lucky Farm- a perfect paradise

Country bliss outside Round Top.

Sue made our group feel so welcome and happy. We had everything we needed; the kids loved the animals and we enjoyed a night fire and morning walks. We would come here ANYtime.

Wonderful, peaceful spot to stargaz

Such a lovely piece of land!! I had a wonderful stay in the field under the stars. Friendly donkeys even paid me a visit. There is a small pond where I spread out a blanket to read and was not even bothered by bugs. Sue is a welcoming and lovely host. I can't wait to come back!
