From the North - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota: US Highway 52 South, through Rochester to Fountain (30 miles south of Rochester). Turn left on County Road 8, four miles (toward Lanesboro). Turn right on County Road 17 (look for blue shoulder sign 'The Old Barn Resort'), two miles down into our valley. At the bottom of the big hill, just before the curve, turn left on Heron Road by a hobby farm (look for another blue shoulder sign). We are 3/4 of a mile down the road on the left.
The customer service here is AMAZING!! Jill and Travis went above and beyond to make sure our stay was excellent! My son and I came to Preston so he could fly fish for trout, not only did they give us great locations, but they also gave us some great tips!! Which was fantastic because we don’t have trout where we live. If you are even remotely considering staying at the Old Barn Resort, do. They have done everything to deserve glowing reviews and have earned a repeat customer!! We can’t wait to come back next year!!! Thank you!!!
Nice campground! Clean bathrooms, nice pool too! The bartender at the restaurant Thursday night made a GREAT long island. Our spot was a bit too sunny for our liking and the sites aren't very private BUT with the bike trail right there and a pool and a river to fish and float in that didnt matter much. Great family campground.
Very interesting place. I was told by locals it served the best burgers around. I was not disappointed but it did take 40 minutes to get in the middle of a slow afternoon crowd. The layout is neat, the bartenders were chatty and wonderful to converse with but all in all I have to stay with a three star rating.
