Yes, please.
The Cloverland Barndominium - Winneconne, WI
Rate: $259/night

This renovated 100-year-old barn sits on 5+ private acres where you can recharge your batteries in peace and quiet. The 2-bed/2-bath is gorgeously decorated with rustic touches to give it that "barny" feel, but it's the outside that's really worth making a reservation for.

It's tiny, but it's packed with touches to make your stay a memorable one.
