Stayed Feb 2, 2026Absolutely a terrific spot to stay. Peaceful and very well appointed. Many extras most VRBOs do not have. It must be a wonderful spot for star gazing in the fall and winter. Many thanks Blair and family. Top 5

Stayed Jan 17, 2026This was just an awesome bach. Perfect for our family of five. Clean, comfortable, extremely well-equipped (have never seen so many teas and spices in an rental). Was wonderful to have a BBQ out on the deck with no neighbours except sheep. Would gladly stay again.

Stayed Sep 8, 2025The most stunning modern house with a very luxurious feel to the styling and decor. The owners were incredibly kind and had some great advice and recommendations for the family to make the most of our stay. The house was very cosy and immaculately clean. We wish we stayed longer, exceeded our expectations!

Stayed Jun 7, 2025Staying at Black House was truly magical. It was the first week of winter, and we were surrounded by snow, which made the experience even more special. The house is beautifully presented, thoughtfully equipped, and wonderfully warm — with plenty of firewood to keep the fireplace going.The views across to the mountains are absolutely breathtaking, and the peaceful setting made for a perfect retreat.Our host was incredibly kind and responsive, which made everything easy and enjoyable. It was such a joy to stay here — we only wish we could have stayed longer!

Stayed Feb 3, 2025We were so impressed with this property. It's chic in the middle of farm country but also feels warm and welcoming. The furniture pieces are all very comfortable, including the beds and linens; everything basically felt like a cross between a really nice hotel and our own home. Only hiccup was that we ran out of toilet paper towards the end of the stay! Would absolutely stay here again if Fairlie is on the travel itinerary.
