I had the chance to spend time at the Barn and at Ballard Creek within the last two years, and the setting is absolutely magical! I feel so much nostalgia getting to enjoy a barn event and to look across the rolling lawns - it's just so special in every way, and the hosts are wonderful. Especially coming from California, the opportunity to experience Minnesota's beauty and charm is unparalleled. I couldn't recommend it more highly! Five stars!
