I wouldn't, unless your barn's clear at least 5 rotor spans and 3-4 times as high as your aircraft. I've never hovered indoors, but from my experiences landing in revetments, parallel and "L," I don't think it's a good idea. It kept me very busy, dealing with sudden changes in the flow as the recirculation changed.
