The Barn

The heart of Tar Creek Ranch

This beautifully restored barn from the late 1920s has a unique and captivating history. According to local lore, a lumber ship wrecked off the coast of Oceano, and the farmers and ranchers of the Huasna Valley salvaged the wood to construct their barns. Our barn incorporates the ship's ribs, creating a breathtaking and one-of-a-kind cathedral-style ceiling featuring stunning chandeliers. The barn is perfect for indoor ceremonies, intimate reception dinners, and after-dinner dancing.
