About this property
★ Delightful forest View Cabin with hot tub in Cairngorms ★
This beautiful Cabin, with breathtaking forest and mountain views, is the perfect place for a romantic stay away or a family escape in the Cairngorms!
In the mornings, take in the spectacular views from bed outside the large windows. In the evening, sit outside on the lovely deck or soak in the shared hot tub and enjoy a glass of wine or a wee dram while basking in the beautiful surrounding nature. It’s the perfect way to end a day exploring the local area!
The cabin can sleep up to four guests. Two guests on a king-sized bed on the ground floor and two in the double loft bed. The loft bed is accessed with a ladder as seen in the photos and is suitable for children or agile adults. The cabin has a small kitchen equipped with the essentials including an air fryer, a gorgeous outdoor dining and seating area and a beautiful bathroom with a spacious walk-in shower. The cabin was designed with sustainability in mind, boasting features such as an eco shower, for the water conscious among us. The cabin is kept cozy and warm as it’s extremely well insulated. A unique and beautiful mural and bouldering wall has been fitted on the back of the cabin for some extra fun!
There is also a hot tub for you to get the full relaxation experience in! The hot tub is shared with our other guests at the steading. You are welcome to use it at any time after 10 am until 9pm to soak and enjoy the scenery. We just ask all our guests to be respectful of each other. The cabin encompasses comfort, functionality and luxury in a magnificent compact and sustainable design, You'll love it!
The forest view cabin is located on a small steading nestled in the heart of the Cairngorms, and on the edge of beautiful Ballater. As you enter you will see an old stone building, a tiny house on the left and a second tiny house to the right of the cabin. A lovely wildflower garden, which will be in full bloom by spring has been planted with native wildflowers and will provide a habitat for local wildlife.
At the steading, we are trying to build unique, low-impact sustainable holiday accommodations, with a community feel and high-quality design and materials for our guests. The cabin and tiny houses are newly built and 100% finished. However, you may notice other projects on the property which are not completed to the same level and our staff members, though, this should not impact or disturb you during your stay.
The cabin is perfectly situated to access all that the Cairngorms and Royal Deeside have to offer. Walking trails, hiking, golf, mountain biking, skiing and other outdoor activities are all on your doorstep.
The accommodation is located a mile and a half to Ballater. You can either walk along the much loved 7 bridges walk, take the 201 bus or drive to get to the village. Here you can find a selection of café’s, restaurants and pubs, or possibly a bit of local independent shopping. If you want to visit the Royal family, Balmoral Estates is a stone’s throw away. Balmoral and Royal Lochnagar Whiskey distillery are only 6 miles away. Also close by is the Historic Town of Braemar.
If there is anything you should need during your stay we are only a message or phone call away.
