About this property
Scottland Yard Farm- Peacock's Perch
This adorable apartment has it all! The Peacock's Perch has WIFI, Air-conditioning and heat. No TV. Instead enjoy a jet bath with a glass of your favorite beverage in the large tub. There is a balcony over looking the farm and natural pool.
After a short walk you will find our Mercantile store, our Traveler’s trunk boutique and beautiful natural pool for swimming and relaxation. Every child 5 and under, or any non swimmer, must provide their own life jacket when in or around the pond. If any non swimmers are occupying the space without a life-jacket, they will be asked to leave the area.
The natural pool’s beauty and tranquility is complete with a lovely waterfall and our pet Koi! The Koi are always eagerly awaiting their koi treats from our guests. These treats can be purchased from our small Mercantile store along with horse treats, rabbit treats and bird treats. The mercantile also has snacks, local beverages and honey along with camp cooking supplies you may have forgotten. Our fun little travelers trunk boutique has some interesting finds from our travels as well as local homemade items!
There is a natural pool, swinging tree hammocks, children’s playground, bistro tables everywhere, coin op laundry mat with 1 washers and 1 dryers and plenty of farmland to explore! We border the lush and lovely Hammond Hill State forest. If you love cross country skiing, mountain biking and walks we border You have access to miles of state trails!! The barns and pastures are restricted from guests’ entrance. Scottland Yard community consists of several small clustered homesteads. Each Sunday is ‘Sunday Funday’ BBQ at Scottland Yard from 2-8pm. Monday-Thursdays from 2-6 p.m. we have family swimming at Scottland Yard. Our guests often join us for this joyful time. If you happen to arrive or are enjoying the facilities during these hours, please know that you’re welcome to join us if you wish!
There are over 200 wineries in the Fingerlakes Region and many are within an hours drive. The closest one to us is Six Mile Creek Vineyard about 5 miles away. Visit waterfalls or state parks such as Buttermilk Falls, Taughannock, Robert H. Treman, Ithaca Falls.
We really like the idea of the honor system and guests can settle up their purchases via different forms of payment, (Venmo, cash or checks) at time of purchase. We hope you chose to ‘just breathe’ with us here at Scottland Yard farm and look forward to sharing our magical space with you! https://youtu.be/cAcdaQkJXVk

About the host
Hosted by Andrea and Duane Scott

Hi, my name is Andrea, my spouse Duane of 41 years and I have had the privilege of traveling extensively. We know all the little details we appreciate when traveling in the U.S. and abroad. We love the adventure of meeting fellow travellers whether we are the ones on the move or are ourselves hosting.
We enjoy continuing to create our little bit of paradise here and enjoy sharing it with others. We firmly believe if we choose to help others achieve their goals in this life, we will never need to be concerned about our own. What we give comes back 10 fold!
Namaste,
Andrea
