The Hobbit House – Scottland Yard Farm

Our little guest house affectionately referred to as ‘The Hobbit House’ is located on our farm here at Scottland Yard! We border Hammond Hill state forest, with access to miles of hiking, hunting and skiing trails.

The well appointed wee house is 16×16′ with a large bathroom, kitchen, common area downstairs and a pull out queen serta sofa bed. The bedding and mattress protector are provided in the storage closet. In the loft you will find a comfortable double bed made with (silk feel) 100% bamboo sheets as well as 1 fold up 4″ twin floor mattress with provided bedding in the closet. For our guests comfort and well being, all beds are REQUIRED to be made with the mattress protectors provided! Bath and Turkish beach towels are also provided. The kitchen in this area has a wee under counter fridge with a tiny freezer, a fancy cuisine art air fryer convection toaster oven, coffee pot, 2 burner electric hotplate, and a blender. All cooking and eating utensils are provided. The ship ladder going to the loft is just that….a structurally sound permanently attached wooden ship’s ladder. They are steep. Please refer to the picture of the ladder for a nice visual look at them! **Due to the danger of the steep ship ladder to the bedroom, we recommend that families with children under five do not choose this unit. Outside you have a lovely deck with a bistro table, grill and a little fire pit. The peacocks can often be found roosting on your pergola and the chickens scratching in your yard! You mustn’t leave your door open and unattended or they may decide to make themselves at home and move right in with you, yes really! Please know this is a farm and the farm animals are early risers. We provide earplugs in the bedside table for those of you who are not! We also have other glampers and guests.

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. The natural pond’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, honey and beverages, 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 2 washers and 2 dryers and plenty of farmland to explore!
