Stone Creek Cottage Farmstay

This charming private colonial-style stone cottage featuring established gardens provides the comfort of home with all the essential modern conveniences you would need to enjoy a relaxing getaway, close to Mansfield and King Valley wineries, Mt Buller and the Victorian snowfields.

This hideaway features breathtaking views, stunning sunsets and starry nights on 24 acres of private country setting, all within 15 minutes of Mansfield. There's plenty for the kids to do while you sit back, relax and enjoy the magnificent scenery and quietness of the country.

Come and meet our friendly Pygmy goats and say hello to our newest team members Lulu, Chiquita, Can Can & Rumberella our gorgeous alpacas!

There's plenty to do
relax on the deck with a freshly brewed coffee or choose from a variety of different teas and read the newspaper, a magazine or book.

sip a wine or two and enjoy a platter on the deck overlooking the ever-changing landscape of the Mansfield Valley, surrounded by beautiful established gardens and gorgeous friendly animals.

enjoy a well-deserved holiday beer whilst listening to your favourite music via the bluetooth dock, watching the kangaroos and experiencing the best sunsets ever, followed by an awesome star filled sky.

just simply snuggle up on the comfy couches in front of the cosy fireplace and be mesmerised by the magic of the flames.

However you like it, we look forward to hosting you.

We had a wonderful stay at this accommodation. The room was clean and comfortable, with all the amenities I needed. Ed and Vickie were friendly and helpful, and the location was perfect for exploring the area. I would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone looking for a great place to stay. Perfect for family staycation during winter while staying cozy in the fireplace. Great for kids as they have farm and lots of animals to see. We love how Vickie and Ed greeted us and accomodated extra people, we felt like we are family! Thanks so much for sharing your property to us and the inpiring stories about how the vision of your farm begun.

My wife and I decided to spend our 10 year anniversary staying at the Stone Creek Cottage and it was an amazing experience. Both Vickie and Ed are amazing people and such hospitable hosts. The cottage was so lovely and had everything you needed with Vickie still checking in on us to make sure. As well as giving us plenty of recommendations of things to do and see in this lovely part of the world. Scenic views, cozy cottage with two amazing fire places during the cold weather and plenty of animal friends. The location is 15-20 minutes from town and is easily accessible. Cannot recommend this place enough. Thank you Vickie and Ed for making it such a lovely experience! -Ned and Nada

A very relaxing home stay, in beautiful setting with magical sunsets. Open verandah with spa bath, and the Pygmy goats a great hit. We’d love to return another time, hopefully with other family members.

The family and I had a fantastic time. even on the days that the weather didn't play ball, we had a cozy time with the fireplace while playing board games and watching the lovely scenery. Vicky and Ed were so obliging, giving us an in-depth tour with the friendly animals. My daughters loved the goats and Alpacas, which we pretended were Lamas. I can't wait for our return visit later in the year. Five Stars!!!

Unique farm stay
We had a fantastic time here and arrived a few days after several baby goats had been born. We were able to hold them, feed them and watch them from our accommodation. The hosts were very generous with their time and so helpful. The property is unique and only 20 mins from Mansfield. Cottage was very cosy and comfortable.

Perfect winter getaway
We really enjoyed our stay at Vickie & Ed's cottage. The view was spectacular and the home was well equipped for our family of 4. Our daughter's loved exploring the property and helping Ed to feed the pygmy goats. A short drive into town or a great base for skiing Mt Buller like us. The cottage fire place was perfect for those chilly nights. Thanks for a wonderful winter getaway!

A wonderful experience!
Our stay at Stone Creek was outstanding! Vickie and Ed were so welcoming, warm and accommodating. The property is stunning and the cottage is warm, comfortable and cozy. Our little girl and her little friend were delighted in the surrounds and to be able to play with and feed the goats. We skied at Mt Buller during our stay. The drive was an easy 20-25 mins tot he Mt Buller gate. I would highly recommend staying here for any summer or winter getaway with family and friends. We were made to feel so welcome and are so grateful to Vickie and Ed.

Vickie and Ed were amazing hosts and made us feel very welcome. The cottage is gorgeous, clean and well equipped. The fire cosy on cooler nights. The Sunsets and the views unmatched by any property we have stayed at before. Location is great and we had long days out visiting nearby sites. Will be visiting again! PS the goats and Alpacas as well as sheep and birdlife so much fun to experience!

A beautiful cottage in a lovely spot
This is a beautiful and very clean stone cottage in an absolutely stunning location. There were 3 of us, using 2 bedrooms, and we were very comfortable. It had all the facilities we could want, including a nice wood heater (which we used because we had a couple of chilly nights). Highlights were: * Big range of outdoor seating locations and options * Very clean, new BBQ * Stunning views * Beautiful gardens * Watching baby goat antics from the balcony Vickie and Ed were very welcoming and friendly hosts, and have done a great job in turning this into a wonderful place to spend a few days. If you want to be within walking distance of cafes and shops then this is not for you, but if you'd love to get away and enjoy some comfortable peace and quiet while being blown away by high country views we can absolutely recommend Stone Creek Cottage at View to a Hill.

AMAZING STAY
We had an amazing stay at Vicki's and Ed's cottage! The place is very cozy, loved the wood stove, we spent every evening enjoying the fire, was a lot of fun for the kids after skiing all day. Kitchen was well equipped to make a family dinner which I appreciated very much. All of us really enjoyed feeding the goats every morning, that the first thing kids were looking forward to waking up. Its a great space for just chilling out, turning your phone off and enjoying the scenery. I like that it's not huge so we all had to be in close space and made our family vacation very special as we spent a lot of quality family time together. There is a lot to do for the kids outside too. We will definitely be back. Vicki and Ed were very easy to talk to if needed extra anything in the cottage. Thank you so much for creating such awesome place!
