This is our second year at this property. We had our second wonderful vacation here. The property has a breathtaking Mountain View, as well as a cute, adorable, lovable, potbelly pig to feed each morning and evening. Plenty of bed space (we had six people) and absolutely breathtaking morning and evening views. Great communication with owner. We will be back next year, as this has turned in to an annual family trip.

Thank you! I look forward to having you all stay again!
We had a great time. The view was beautiful. To be able to see the mountains from your front porch was awesome. The friendly pets were very nice. We look forward to returning in the spring.
We had a great weekend staying in the Scotland Farms cabins once again! Beautiful farm and the cabins are very nice. The stars at night are incredible!
What a beautuful property. The house is spacious and the view incredible. We appreciated the well-appointed kitchen and nightime stars. The porch pig was a fan favorite. Would definitely come back.
My family was in the area for a Bridgewater College football game. The cabin was the perfect distance from the school, absolutely beautiful location, quiet and cozy. The kitchen was stocked with a lot of the things we needed for cooking. The living space was cozy and the gas fireplace kept it warm on the chilly nights. We got to meet one of the property pigs, which was super cool. We will definitely stay here again!

Thank you for the awesome review - I look forward to having you come again!
Another great stay at this property...we have stayed here two years now in a row. We got to swim, fish, play with pig, star gaze by the fire! Incredible views and propeety
So quiet, beautiful log cabin, very close to the general store if you forgot something. beautiful views sitting on the porch. It's a Virgina Yellowstone location.
Very nice cabin in a beautiful quiet setting. Owners were very nice and easy to get a hold of. If you’re looking for a place to get away from it all, this is your place!
What an absolutely beautiful property! Caught fish in the lake and ponds. Saw eagles at the pond by the pavilion and lots of deer. The pig was a big highlight! The whole group seemed pretty content just sitting on the porch and soaking up the mountain views. Thank you again for sharing your beautiful home with us, everyone really enjoyed themselves!!
The property was simply breathtaking. The wild life was a bonus. We enjoyed the property so much we fantasized trying to plan another trip where we could enjoy it for longer!
Views are amazing! My wife and I loved our stay and had a great time with all the hiking trails close by. Tons of wildlife all around! We really enjoyed eagle watching and the domestic residents as well. Especially the two pigs my wife wanted to take home with us.
Cabin is very private and had everything we needed during our stay. Expansive grounds to explore on the property.
Words cannot describe how beautiful the views from the cabin are. You can spend the entire day exploring the beautiful property and fishing or just staying in enjoying the spacious property. The hosts couldn’t be more welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend, especially factoring in how great the price was.
Beautiful and relaxing cabin on a hill overlooking a valley. Clean and quiet. The kids loved being greeted by a friendly pig. We also caught some fish in the lake.Definitely recommended.
Absolutely wonderful property and location that was so relaxing and fun for a weekend with friends. It's a well-equipped and well-maintained cabin that is cut off from the internet (much-needed amenity). The lake is amazing with great boats. Overall, no complaints, although a pier/floating dock would've been sick! Wish we could've stayed another night.
First of all - I didn’t realize it was no service/Wi-Fi when I booked but it turns out it was exactly what we needed. We had an amazing New Years! From the views to the homey feel to the pigs who visited us, we loved it all and we will be coming back. Highly recommended
Beautiful location. We came in from a slightly different direction so the instruction to get to the property were a bit confusing but we figured it out. So much to see and do in this part of the country. Loved having no cell service!!!
