Cozy Grain Bin Room Retreat on a Working Mini Farm
Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Overview
Berry Bin Lodging offers a genuinely unusual stay: a converted grain bin turned upstairs apartment on a working mini farm in Arkansas. The exterior retains its agricultural silhouette, but inside guests find a creatively designed living space built for comfort rather than storage. It's positioned as an ideal spot for a weekend getaway or a longer week-long escape into rural life.
Rooms
This is a single upstairs apartment-style unit that sleeps up to 4 guests, making it best suited to couples, small families, or friend groups traveling together. The layout includes a living area with a TV and chair, a bathroom with a shower, a microwave, and a small refrigerator. Guests also have access to a washer and an ironing board, useful for longer stays.
Amenities
The unit is smoke-free and equipped with air conditioning and heating for year-round comfort, plus free Wi-Fi and cable TV for downtime. A patio provides outdoor space to enjoy the farm setting, and free parking is available on site. Practical touches like an ironing board, microwave, and washer support extended or working stays.
Farm Experience & Recreation
The property sits on a mini farm home to cows, donkeys, goats, chickens, ducks, guineas, geese, and turkeys, with by-appointment tours where children can gather eggs, feed birds, and visit the goats. Anglers can fish from the bank of the property's own 10-acre lake or bring a boat to the adjacent 127-acre Horseshoe Lake, which has a bait shop and boat ramp nearby. Because animals are present, pets belonging to guests are not permitted, for the safety of the farm animals.
Location & Dining
The farm is roughly 80 miles from Memphis, TN and 75 miles from Little Rock, AR, placing it well outside city centers in a rural Arkansas setting. Nearby dining options include Big Tex Kolaches & Bakery about 5 km away and The Tamale Factory steak house around 9 km away, with several other American, Cajun, and casual restaurants within a 20-35 km drive. Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport and Jonesboro Municipal Airport are both roughly 90-99 km from the property.
Best for
This property is best suited to travelers seeking a rural, novelty lodging experience -- couples or small families wanting a farm-stay escape with fishing and animal encounters. The 10-acre lake, adjacent Horseshoe Lake with boat ramp, and by-appointment animal tours make it especially appealing to anglers and families with children. It's less suited to travelers needing dense urban amenities or nightlife, given its distance from Memphis and Little Rock.
Travel tips
Plan to drive, as the property is a rural farm roughly 75-80 miles from Little Rock and Memphis and about 90-99 km from the nearest airports, so a car is essential for both arrival and reaching restaurants. Bring your own fishing rods and lures if you plan to fish the on-site 10-acre lake, or arrange a boat for Horseshoe Lake next door, which has its own bait shop and boat ramp. If you want to see the farm animals up close, request the animal tour by appointment in advance rather than expecting a walk-up visit.
