About this property

★ Enchanting tiny house with wood burner and hot tub ★

This beautiful tiny house, with breathtaking forest and mountain views, is the perfect place for a romantic stay or a family escape in the Cairngorms!

The tiny house is sustainably crafted and adorned with beautiful hand-made woodworks. The cabin boasts a shared hot tub, wood fired pizza oven, and an outdoor fire pit to relax and enjoy the stars in. It is the perfect place to rest your head during your highland adventures!

The tiny house can sleep up to four guests. Two guests on a double loft bed and two on a pull-out double sofa bed. The tiny house boasts a kitchen, equipped with a double-burner hob, fridge, kettle and even a sage coffee machine; a lounge with a unique hand-crafted dining area; and a bathroom with a spacious walk-in shower.

In the mornings, wake up to spectacular views and try your hand at brewing a professional coffee. In the afternoon, sit outside on the lovely raised deck and enjoy a glass of wine or a wee dram while overlooking the beautiful view. Then add a bit of luxury to your holiday, sit back and relax in the hot tub or by the outdoor fire. The hot tub and fire are shared with our other guests at the steading.

The tiny house 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, three small holiday accommodations and a lovely wildflower garden. The garden which will be in full bloom in spring and summer 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, with high-quality design and materials for our guests. The tiny house is newly built and 100% finished. However, you may notice our staff members working on other projects on the property which are not completed to the same level, though, this should not impact or disturb you during your stay.

The tiny house 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 take public transit
(right across from the property), walk or cycle along the much loved 7 bridges walk 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.

At first, I was a little nervous because the place seemed so small, and this was my first time staying at a place like this. Still, I didn't regret one moment, I would stay here again if I ever come back to this area. The location was perfect for hiking. Balmoral estate. The place itself was spotless, with a comfortable, loft bed and sofa. Sitting on the porch with morning coffee and evening drinks was perfect, especially on the swing. The shower water/hotness was not a problem, and we found it enjoyable. The location was close enough to Ballater for dinner and drinks. We did a fantastic hike and had lunch near Braemar. We also visited the Royal Lochnagar Distillery, where I had an excellent mixed drink with whiskey, despite not being a whiskey drinker. In contrast, my friend enjoyed the tubing in a hot tub, which was a nice feature after hiking to relax and enjoy nature. Also, the ability to walk down and sit your feet into the River Dee was a fun adventure. If you are looking for a more sustainable, local, quiet stay in a small house in the Highlands, I highly recommend this place staff and owners were extremely friendly, accommodating and communicative

A perfect quiet break

A gorgeous tiny house, which has obviously been lovingly made. Perfectly equipped for a short stay, close to Ballater, great for walking, hiking and biking trails. A beautiful morning view and very cosy. Will be back!

Perfect place for a couple of days in the cairngorms.

Very cute wee house. We spent a couple of days visiting Ballater and Braemar, and this was a great base. You can walk into Ballater from here which was great. A lot of wildlife literally on the door step, we watched the birds and wee mammals every morning. It’s a shared area with a few different holiday lettings on site.
