About this property

Charming Cottage Escape! - Pets Welcome! - Thistle Bach

  • The Thistle Bach house features two inviting bedrooms, each with one queen bed and one twin bed, making it a comfortable option for families or groups. Guests can enjoy a serene, cozy space with a bathroom that includes a shower. The quaint interior offers thoughtful touches like heating and air conditioning to keep you comfortable year round.

    After a short walk you will find our Mercantile store, our Traveler’s trunk boutique and beautiful natural pond for lounging around it and relaxation. Our pond is now for relaxing by the water and feeding the koi fish only. Unfortunately, swimming is not permitted for rental guests.

    There is a natural pond, swinging tree hammocks, children’s playground, bistro tables everywhere, this rental comes with a private washer dryer in the rental 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 we have family time 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 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
