When the last dance ends, your room is right upstairs
Booking Zenbarn for a rehearsal dinner, welcome party, or the whole wedding weekend? You can rent the loft upstairs, too. It is two private suites, four bedrooms in all, right above the venue. So the couple, the wedding party, or close family can celebrate late and just walk up to bed. No cabs, no driving rural roads after a few drinks, no scrambling across town the next morning for brunch.
Each suite has a full kitchen, mountain views, and a private deck, plus a game room with bar seating downstairs. Rent one suite that sleeps four, or take the whole loft and sleep eight. It is a 4.89-star Airbnb Guest Favorite, fifteen minutes from Stowe, and steps from the stage.
