Common Questions

Below you will find answers to some of the most common questions.

Where are we located

We are at exit 17, off the 417 at Barb Road, north side of the 417, and approximately 1 mile from the exit. No gravel roads for endless time. We're right there, easy to find. You can even see the grand barn from the 417, if you turn your head on the left/north side when approaching the exit 17, coming from Ottawa. That's how close we are from the 417. By far the easiest method now, thanks to our friends at Google maps is just to enter your location and enter Vankleek hill as your destination and google will prepare a travel map for you "Care to try it out"   just follow this link Google me to TheGrand Barn

Planning a Visit

In summer, for those seeking a picturesque location where to find oneself in an environment to be at one with Nature, optionally Nude & Free to enjoy the full feeling of being away from daily routines and a place to escape the stressing stuffy feeling of city life, THE GRAND BARN is your destination. TGB is a private select club/resort of 250 acres of freedom. For those that want to experience the feeling of complete relaxation in a domain that has kept its very raw natural aspect and has maximized on the quality of its more tolerant laid-back visiting crowd.

You certainly can come unannounced, but we recommend that, as much as possible, you let us know, in advance, of your plans to come and visit so that we can better prepare for your enjoyable stay at TGB.

If this will be your first visit we suggest that you come early, pay your daily admission and fully explore as much of the property as you feel up to. A map of the property is available upon request or you may find one here GROUNDS if you would like to plan out your excursion beforehand.

Nudity is fully encouraged, not forced upon, as it pertains to the element of freedom we so strongly promote. It gives to the newcomers a better sense of adaptability and encouraging comfort so that they can pace themselves to the obvious freedom that prevails at TGB. You won't be categorized, either, upon being Nude and we will not simplistically present ourselves as a mere "Nudist/Naturist Club". Nude Recreation the uncomplicated way is one strong option we present with understanding the fact that those who shed their clothes off aren't playing silly stamping/ denunciating games but will rather be:

"At ease with nudity"

It is most important to take note that we have always been, since our first day of operation, the very answer to the too many singles who may have felt left out, misjudged, or squarely denied access (or disdainfully refused based on their status) at many other locations. They have found the answer to their repeated frustrating rejections by coming at a place they can call Home. This is why at TGB we stress "Nude" without the "ism" attached.
