We had a lovely time. The house was spacious clean warm and comfortable.

A wee bit TLC is required in the showers as water wouldn't drain away properly. Cushions in the kitchen area needs to be replaced ed but apart from that it was superb. We would definitely come back again. Hot tub was the star and the wildlife visiting out the back was magical. Three small deers came down every morning.

Wonderful Weekend

We had an amazing long weekend staying at Bracken Lodge. There is plenty of room with the kitchen, living room and enclosed garden providing a perfect setting for socialising and relaxing. My Mum the entire weekend kept saying "It just has everything you need". Only a small improvement recommendation would be to have the chairlift area next to the hot tub a bit cleaner with somewhere you're able to hang towels. Would definitely plan to return - superb house in an excellent alpine feeling location!

This put a smile on our faces...we are delighted Bracken House had everything your mum needed to have a great stay! Thank you for the feedback on the hot tub area, we will follow that up with the housekeeping team. We hope to welcome you back for another "wonderful weekend" soon!

Bracken House Brilliant

We stayed at Bracken House for a week in late June 2026 and had a wonderful time. The house was lovely, very clean, comfortable and had every amenity you could have a need for. The location is set within stunning silver birch woods on the outskirts of Aviemore where you can walk into town within 15 minutes or set off into the surrounding mountains on foot direct from the door. The location is peaceful, yet close enough to the shops and anything else that Aviemore offers. The house is spacious, very comfortable with everything you could need. It overlooks beautiful woods to rear where you can sit and spot wildlife. Not sure what else you could want from a holiday in the Scottish Highlands at any time of the year.

dog walkers paradise

Bracken House is the perfect place to stay with the forest on the door step and Aviemore within walking distance .The forest has endless trails on the door step and many more only a short drive away .This is the dog walkers paradise and lovely house to relax in at the end of the day .Local pubs and shops are very welcoming making the holiday enjoyable . To improve on everything the only thing I would do is update the refuse collection information and in the cooking range a steamer could be added for vegetables
Response from VrboOwner on 1 June 2026

A fantastic property for a family gathering

We are regular visitors to Aviemore and have stayed in a few holiday homes and Bracken House did not disappoint. Great location with a great space for 7 of us and our dog. The hot tub was an added benefit and would recommend to others.

Perfect house for a family getaway

Perfect house for a family getaway. Location was great with easy access to dog walking and biking trails. House was well presented, very comfortable, clean and well equipped. We enjoyed having the hot tub and that the garden was not overlooked and it was secure for the dogs. Well all loved it. Great location for exploring the surrounding area. Only minor negative was the BBQ. It was too small to cook for 8 people and very shallow to get enough coals into it to cook for a house full. We abandoned our plans and cooked inside.

Hiking Break

5 of us stayed at Bracken House at the start of June for a hiking break, the house was excellent and plenty of room for the 5 of us location was quiet but still only a 15-20min walk into town, we only used the hot tub once but it was a great way to sooth the aches and pains after long hikes in the cairngorms. we were lucky enough to spot a Red Deer in the woods above the house while relaxing in the tub. The Kitchen was well kitted out and overall we were very comfortable there. I would certainly stay there again and would recommend it for large families or a group of friends. Its the 1st time I have used Great North Lodges & they were very professional and kept in touch by regular email contact so everything was stress free, there is also someone at the end of a phone too if you need them and they are easy to get in touch with which I found refreshing

Christmas in Aviemore

Great service and information from Great North Lodges. House was easy to find and in a beautiful location. The house had everything we needed and plenty of space which let kids have some space of their own. Beds were extremely comfortable and bedrooms were all of a good size. We had a problem with the heating but this was rectified within an hour or so. Hot tub was the icing on the cake, great after a day out in the cold. Welcome pack was fabulous.

Very comfortable and spacious house and a fantastic quiet cul-de-sac. House was very nice and immaculate when we arrived. A short walk into Aviemore through lovely woods. 6 of us really enjoyed our holiday and would stay in Bracken House again.

Lovely spot

The house was great, really well located for local amenities and walking / other activities in the area. The hot tub is a lot of fun and was lovely and clean. Kitchen well equipped. A couple of small areas that would benefit from maintenance e.g. loose toilet seats and some bathroom mould but nothing major. We’d return.
