Lisel is the manager of the rental, and we have not met. However the barn owners are Kim and Jim. They are lovely people, and we thoroughly enjoyed our conversations. We have stayed here before, and again we enjoyed our time. Very relaxing. The bed in the loft space is very comfortable. Main floor is a wonderful space, and is a great place in which to rest. The pictures are true to highlighting the barn. What is not shown is the expanse of the property. Had a night where we cooked on the grill and ate outside. Kim and Jim said we could pick from their fresh basil and tomato plants - what a treat. For our next trip to the Newport area we will choose this barn again.
