About this property
The Cottage on the Farm
The Cottage on the Farm – Your Yellow Point Hideaway
A cozy retreat surrounded by fields, forests, and very opinionated farm animals.
Step away from the noise, slow down, and breathe a little deeper. Tucked into the quiet of Yellow Point, The Cottage on the Farm is a newly renovated shabby-chic escape designed for restful mornings, starry nights, and everything in between.
NEW: Private Hot Tub Under the Stars
Slip into your own secluded hot tub and let the world melt away. Whether it's sunrise steam or a nighttime soak with nothing but the sound of frogs and crickets, this addition takes relaxation to a whole new level.
Farm Friends (a.k.a. the Welcoming Committee)
Your closest neighbours are the four-legged type, and they take hospitality seriously. Expect drive-by greetings from curious cows, gentle horses, a donkey with strong opinions, and the occasional goat cameo. A fair warning: Bessie, the black angus heifer, believes she’s a professional hairdresser and is fully committed to perfecting your cowlicks.
(And yes — the dogs will absolutely try to convince you the cottage is a dog-friendly zone. It is not. They lie.)
Inside the Cottage
Cozy, charming, and designed for effortless comfort.
Smart TV with all your streaming favourites
Board games and jigsaw puzzles for unplugged evenings
Efficient kitchen with Breville combo oven, induction hot plate, electric grill, pots, pans and dishes
Heat pump for perfect temperature year-round

The cottage sleeps up to four guests with a queen bed in the bedroom and a queen pull-out sofa. A full bathroom with a shower and a stand-up washer/dryer makes longer stays easy and comfortable.

This was our second stay in the Cottage on the Farm.My husband has balance/mobility issues so the one step into the cottage and the one step inside the cottage made it quite easy for him to get around with the use of his forearm crutch. We enjoyed using the hot tub and very much appreciated the farm-fresh eggs left for us. We are looking forward to returning for another stay this summer!

Peaceful farm stay
The lovely farm setting and quiet area resulted in a relaxing and enjoyable stay at this property.
The cozy and quaint cottage was nicely decorated in a farm and farm animal theme. The air conditioning was very much appreciated, as was the well-equipped patio area.
Our hostesses were easy to communicate with and we enjoyed the bounty of fresh eggs, goat’s milk they left for us and cherries they allowed us to pick from their trees.
We would live to return to this property!

Go relax with cows!!
This place is amazing. The friendliness of all the animals on the farm, the dogs 😍, the hospitality, the thoughtfulness, all made this the perfect birthday getaway. Enjoying my morning tea while giving face scratches to a cow...there is nothing more awesome! I will definitely be back.
