Small barn house Boulder Meadows has been completed and it’s amazing! Coming in under 2000 square feet, this home is of modest size on paper while affording an open floor plan associated with open post and beam architecture. As with all Yankee Barn custom designs, this house is proof positive that a smaller footprint does not mean a small space or appearance. In fact, quite the opposite is true. Better yet…

Stone Mountain barn house is a new design by Yankee Barn Homes. It is an excellent example of the practical application of our “custom design” feature. Let me explain. The owners of Stone Mountain were inspired by a YBH design, The Cabot. They liked everything about The Cabot, but knew there were a few features they’d like to change. No Problem. We do this type of thing every day at Yankee Barn. It’s just one of the many qualities which make us stand out from other home-build companies. Our skilled engineering staff meets with each client and spends considerable time going over all aspects of your design. Stone Mountain has a traditional barn home exterior encapsulating a 21st Century barn house interior. An open floor plan with lofted post and beam architecture…
Post and beam homes and barns are a wonder to watch go up. For starters, they erect so quickly you might miss it if you aren’t at the site for a week. Secondly, it’s a thrill to see the beauty in the magnificent frame; a stunning skeleton, if you will. There’s something so solid in those timbers, seeing that frame you know your home is going to exceed everything you’d expected. It is an exhilarating experience and a marvel to see. YBH recently received a progress report and construction photos from the owners of The Cooperstown Farmhouse. Take a look…
Post and Beam Living has chronicled Cove Hollow from the first renderings of its’ barn home plans through the completion on this shingle style YBH home. As with a number of current YBH builds, Cove Hollow is a hybrid, meaning it incorporates both post and beam and non-timbered panel construction. Hybrid shell packages are quite popular at YBH as some people want a post and beam frame here, but not there. Cove Hollow is the perfect example of how this looks in a completed home. It’s often thought because barn homes is in our company name, it’s the only style in which we build. Cove Hollow proves nothing could be further from the truth…

At 1,764 square feet, this small Yankee Barn neither lives nor feels small. The Mill River Barn is a reconfiguration of The Bennington Carriage House to a…

Today we’ll show you how far those plans have come…
