Other things to note
✨ Optional Farm & Wellness Experiences
🐄 Cow Brushing Sessions
For guests seeking a closer, hands-on experience with our Scottish Highland cattle. These sessions are guided and unhurried, allowing you to connect with the cattle, get to know their individual personalities, and capture some up close photographs.
Sessions are around 40 minutes for $40. This helps cover our time, care, & the additional insurance required for hands-on animal interactions.

Enhance your stay with a relaxing in-suite massage or couples massage, subject to therapist availability.
Starting at $110 per person.
🎶 Sound Bath Experience
Drift into deep relaxation with a 40-minute sound bath in the yurt, featuring soothing quartz crystal singing bowls & chimes. Their gentle vibrations help quiet mental chatter and encourage a deeply calming, meditative state.
$50 per session.
🔥 Sauna Experience
A local company, Kamu Sauna, offers community sauna sessions and portable sauna rentals, which can be arranged separately through them to complement your stay.
