Our first time experiencing at the Nordic Forest Spa. It was such an awesome & relaxing experience! It was so peaceful and secluded in the forest. Love the hot sauna, dry steamed room and the cold plunge! Awesome and friendly service as well! ...
We’d suggest having the side pull up bars, so you could pull yourself out of the tub for a better balance. We highly recommend it! And we found out that they have Airbnb units that you could rent. We definitely plan on coming back! :)

I was lucky enough to photograph a wedding at Highland Farms in October, and I was completely blown away. Tucked into the forest in the foothills of Mt. Hood, this venue truly feels like something out of a fairytale. As soon as you arrive, you’...
re welcomed by a cozy mountain-style lodge, a beautiful barn, and even a grazing area for their family of Highland cows, which adds so much charm to the property.
Highland Farms offers multiple on-site lodging options for you and your guests, along with thoughtful amenities like a sauna and hot tub for relaxing and unwinding. The ceremony space is stunning, featuring a stone patio, a peaceful pond, and towering evergreens that create such an intimate, natural atmosphere. The forest trails are lined with hazelnut shells instead of dirt, it’s a small touch that makes the entire experience feel elevated and intentional. The reception area, located beside the lodge, is another stone patio that’s perfect for an intimate gathering of around 50 guests. If you’re considering Highland Farms for your wedding, I can’t recommend it enough

We had the most unforgettable experience at Highland Farms! From the moment we arrived, everything felt magical and thoughtfully put together. We got to enjoy a hands-on, interactive experience with Highland cows—which was truly a dream come tr...

Our tour guide, Daunte (with a “u” because he’s unique!), was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the entire visit even more special. The property itself is absolutely stunning, and you can tell how much care and pride goes into maintaining it.
Being able to brush, pet, and spend time up close with the Highland cows was the highlight of the day. It’s clear this farm is built on passion, care, and a deep respect for the animals and the experience they provide.
Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique, heartwarming, and memorable farm experience. 🐮✨

My sisters and I rented the Cottage to celebrate our mom’s 70th birthday. We had the BEST time! We enjoyed the Nordic spa and the farm tour during our stay and highly recommend doing both. The facility was stunning and the staff was knowledgeab...

My sister and I did the farm tour at Highlands Farm, and it ended up being our favorite experience of the entire trip! We had so much fun meeting all the animals—the cows, goats, sheep, dogs, and everyone else on the farm. Getting up close with...
them was such a special experience.
Dante was an amazing guide. He was so friendly, passionate, and knowledgeable, and you could tell how much he genuinely cares about the animals and the farm. He made the tour feel personal, fun, and engaging, and we learned a lot along the way.
If you're in the area, I can't recommend this experience enough. It was such a fun, unique, and memorable way to spend a couple hours. Thanks to everyone at Highland Farms!
