My husband and I have enjoyed several long stays at this historic cottage. Every time we're there, we step back in time, and our lives are changed by the experience. We have been humbled by the surroundings, serene yet fascinating, and the cottage has made us understand how simple life can be. We take these lessons into our world every time we depart from this magical place. As musican/writers, we can't recommend Ross Mill Farm and Cottage enough. What an inspiring place!
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, pet owners, adventure seekers.

Glorious quaint and bucolic. This cottage is everything it is advertised to be. Sitting on the porch on a crisp morning sipping tea with the sun glistening off the nearby creek was delightful. The pig farm was an unexpected delight. Susan, so polite and friendly especially with my special needs child, was the perfect hostess. The folks in 1690 must have been in pretty good shape to get up the narrow winding staircase. We plan to go back again to enjoy the peace and quiet.

The Perfect Get-Away Wedding Destination!

This secluded cottage offered our family and friends the perfects place for all our wants and needs to be be satisfied! The small historic house is set on a little hill just steps away from all the happenings at the pig rescue / farm. I never knew there could be so many varieties of pigs, and the people who care for the animals were nothing but pure kindness. Our kids and guests loved the pigs. We celebrated, cooked and had a small wedding on the hill near the rented cottage - there was nothing but quiet at night. We loved the seclusion along with the ability to walk over to the little farm and roam with the animals. I think I'll try to stop in at least once a year.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, pet owners, adventure seekers, girls getaway, age 55+, families with young children.
Wonderful Country Cottage and Farm

My husband and I stayed at the cottage at Ross Mill Farm and we so enjoyed it. The cottage was cozy and had all the amenities one needs and lacks all the amenities one needs lacking (such as internet, TV, although they do have one if you request.) We were charmed by the place, the cozy quilts, and wood and the great animals who came visiting us from the farm (Dogs and pigs stopped by for a hello). The farm and cottage are on a gorgeous piece of land in the woods with trails and clearings. Richard and Susan were great hosts and we love their pot belly pig spa, boarding and adoption facility. We had an amazing time and we can't wait to go back.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway.

My wife and I stayed three nights in this lovely little cottage, removed from any distractions except for those of the natural world. Our days were spent walking the trails accessable right out the front door. The cottage's thick stone walls, wood stove and efficient central heating system made for cozy nights. The kitchen was well-appointed and the furnature comfortable. A sparkling creek could be seen out the front windows through the trees. For us, the experience was quite charming and restorative.
