I went to a retreat in an old barn converted into a beautiful space. The only thing I didn't like were the stairs to get from the bedroom/kitchen/living room area to the sewing/store area. It seems the population that can afford these retreats (both money and time) are older and have health issues. I loved the retreat, the staff, the food, etc. but would not go back because of the steep stairs to get to the sewing area. There is a bedroom/bath on that floor, but then you still have the stairs to get to the dining area.
