Here is information from the venue’s website regarding beds:
The Farmhouse at Red Barn Retreat & Quilting Center is a delightful home with 7 bedrooms, 4 full baths and 1 half bath. The decor in the home is best described as classy, rustic, and of country elegance. On the ground level of the home, you will find the main living area. The living room has a large fireplace and nice sitting area for guests to enjoy. Right off of the living room, you will find one of the seven bedrooms with three twin-sized beds and one full bath. The kitchen is located on the backside of the home and has an adjacent dining area. Next to the kitchen, you will find the second bedroom, which has two twin beds. This room is adjacent to the half bath and shares a shower with the other first-floor bedroom.
On the second floor of the home, you will find three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The spacious master bedroom includes a queen bed, full bed and three twin beds. The master bathroom is beautiful and has a claw foot tub as well as a large walk-in shower. There is a dedicated outdoor balcony off the master bedroom where guests can see beautiful sunsets and stargaze. At the top of the stairs is the “green” bedroom. In this peaceful bedroom, there is a twin bed and a full bed. The third upstairs bedroom is the “Texas” room and includes three twin beds. The second and third upstairs bedroom share a spacious bathroom.
In the basement of the home are two bedrooms which share a full bathroom. One of the bedrooms is quite large and has two queen beds and three twin beds. The second basement bedroom has two queen beds.
