When you enjoy a Canine Country Getaway, it is as if Glen Highland Farm is all yours to enjoy while you are here! This doggie and people paradise is a retreat from daily noise, pressures and chaos out into the wilderness and countryside, enjoying a comfortable cabin or RV! 

With 175 acres of rolling meadows and winding trails, you can enjoy a great vacation at the same time your dog enjoys an outdoor adventure. 

Our spring-fed pond can be either serene and relaxing for you or wildly fun for canine water lovers. 

“A way to get lost, forget about your job and all the stress of everyday life. Enjoy the countryside and just let go with your dog.  
A world out of a dream!”

And, the renown Butternut Creek, known for its beauty, runs throughout the Farm offering endless chances for your dog to track the scents and sounds of open country while happily splashing in pursuit. The breathtaking vista of Glen Highland Farm from sunrise to night's end is a memorable experience in upstate New York, known for its beauty.
The Canine Country Getaway location is a special, private part of the Farm acreage set aside for visiting campers who want to be in the country on their own. Unlike large campgrounds or parks, the Farm lodging accommodates seven individuals or seven couples with their canine friends so it is very very private. Season after season, we hear people marvel at this being the ideal setting for them to unwind, relax and play in a gorgeous place that is totally dog-friendly.

Map of the Farm


Glen Highland Farm is obviously designed for dogs and dog lovers. There is no hassle over what your dog does or doesn't do; instead it is about freedom! Many guests in fact, enjoy taking a tour while here and even meeting the rescue dogs more personally. 

And the people joining you for a getaway are all dog lovers: we have had guests come from as far away as Canada, Wisconsin, Florida; some making the Farm their destination; others passing through while traveling; all happy to enjoy a canine escape in the country. A few people have even booked all the lodging for a friends and family getaway: the ultimate private escape!

Glen Highland Farm's Canine Country Getaway is a hidden treasure to be discovered! 

Your dog can run freely off leash through private trails, meadows, fields and forests and even better, can play everywhere on the farm off leash. 

It’s like no other place you can go!

Hi Lillie,
Just wanted to send an e-mail to say thank you again and we had a fantastic time at Glen Highland Farm.  We are looking forward to booking again for camping next year.   Rembrandt and Oscar seemed to have a fantastic time!!  I was surprised at how excellent they did there off-leash.  I would never do that here except in the dog parks and in our yard, so it was a great treat for them.  I think they are still tired out!!!

Dear Lillie & John:
Mike and I just wanted to thank you for one of the best weekends we have had in a long time!! Being at the camp was a piece of heaven for us; we envy you!!
Mike & Nina, Pennsylvania

Hello there Lillie!
I wanted to write you (and John) to tell you what a wonderful time I had at the Farm with Ben and Molly. You both have created an amazing getaway for people just "be" with with their dogs and enjoy the amazing scenery of the countryside. Everything about the camp experience was thoughtfully done, from the water stations and cups, to the beach towels on the chairs and a very comfortable RV to call home for the week I was there. I loved the fact that the most pressing thing to address each day was "which trail do we explore today?" Bravo to John for his upkeep of the property.

And kudos to you and your work with the rescues. I was thrilled to have been able to spend some time with some of the rescues - Rhodie the lovebug and my favorite, Chas the curious, Chance the happy-go-lucky one, and Dale the ball nut. (I see that Dale found a home!) I looked into their eyes and what gentle souls gazed back. I also encountered sweet Roxie and Abby - both on the tour, and around the paddocks the very active and very cute Jake, big guy Palmer and Major who wanted to play frisbee with me and Molly at the field. Thank you for that opportunity to volunteer. These dogs are all amazing and wish them a bright future in a new home.

In the meantime, I was so inspired to share my photos and experiences on the Farm with family and friends... That my first order of business upon return home was to build a website to do just that. I would like to share this with you. The site is available at the link below. This was a fun project for me to create... everything about the Farm was magnificent and I really want others to see. Please enjoy!

GETAWAY LODGING

The Farm lodging includes four rustic cabins tailored for you and your dog’s fun! Plus, three RV's are available for rental, full of canine and creature comforts!

The COZY CABINS are nestled high up on the Ridge, secluded amidst tall pine trees with a scenic vista below. Each COZY CABIN has two single beds, reading lights and chairs. There is plenty of storage room for two people and two or three dogs. The solitude and fresh air will easily make sleeping a joy for you and your dog!
The COMFY COTTAGES are situated below the Ridge, extra spacious with two luxury cots, clothing dressers, reading lights and chairs to make your stay almost like home! The peaceful setting of each cottage gives you plenty of privacy and also quick access to nearby trails. The COMFY COTTAGES easily sleep two to four people with their dogs. They are perfect for friends vacationing together or for a couple who want lots of space to unwind.
The FARM RV’s are a real home away from home with a comfortable double bed, eat-in kitchen, refrigerator and stove as well as a private toilet and shower. Each RV has a VCR, stereo and microwave. Many visitors choose the RV to have full electricity, heating or air conditioning needs met. The RV rental cost includes a clean up fee, pump out fee and water service. The RV’s get “rave reviews” for being perfect lodging for dogs and people to even enjoy a nighttime movie together!
Fresh water is brought to your quarters for you and your dog to make your stay more comfortable. There is also a refrigerator and freezer right near camp for guest use, canine and human.

Plus, private showers and flushing toilets are only about 100 few feet away. All you need to bring is your linens, pillows and flashlight! 

Our dining shelter includes picnic tables, a preparation counter, sink and a huge free standing outdoor grille that is suitable for a group or for an individual meal.  All cooking equipment is on hand, ready for use.

OUTDOOR FUN

The Canine Country Getaway is a remarkable outdoor experience where you can enjoy lush trails with just you and your dog, wandering through huge flowering meadows, passing towering trees in the Hemlock Forest, or resting creekside as water rushes over fallen logs and rolls by.

Map of the Farm

Each trail leads you into a wilderness wonderland that has been traversed by dogs and in fact, the trails follow the routes the dogs showed us when we created the Farm. Even the locations of the benches placed along the trails were “paw-picked” by canine experts! 
Dogs know how to enjoy the great outdoors and are truly a joy to watch as they dash and dart and explore the freshness of undisturbed country. Follow their lead and you’ll have a real getaway!

For the sporting fans, the Farm agility equipment is available for use anytime.
A complete course of obstacles, you can practice any aspect of the sport you like and use each day to build greater skills or just have fun challenging both you and your dog. If you love agility or want to try it, it’s wonderful to have a course at your disposal and hard to find anywhere else but here.

TRAINING EXPERTISE AVAILABLE

One of our favorite trainers, Abbie Tamber, is available to work with guests of the Farm on any aspect of canine development. She teaches at the Canine Country Camp and helps train the rescue dogs most in need. Abbie is an outstanding clicker trainer and can problem solve on behaviors as well as build better sport skills. She uses only positive methods. If interested in arranging for private work, please contact us so we can connect you and Abbie for your vacation time at the Farm.

Abbie Tamber owns and operates Dogs on the Run, LLC in Oxford, New York. She has been teaching manners classes since 1991 and agility seminars since 1995.  Her current agility dog, a four year old JRT, named Microburst actually comes when called and has taught her how to deal with ENERGY. Although Abbie and Micro compete in NADAC and AKC their main efforts are in USDAA, where they have earned an ADCH. They have also qualified for the Grand Prix (USDAA Nationals) both years that they have competed and for 2001 they were rated in the TOP TEN in Jumpers. 

Abbie is one of those special teachers who can convince the average student that the rules of USDAA Snooker are quite understandable and FUN! 

So, we hope you’ll take advantage of a country break with your canine friend(s)!
