A two bedroom log cabin located right on a beautiful walking trail in Scotland's Cairngorm mountains.

Peaceful, family friendly, and a great base for exploring the local area.
These self catering log cabins all have hot tubs and are peacefully located well off the road while still being within easy reach of a variety of attractions and sporting pursuits. Spend your days walking and skiing, bring your binoculars and watch deer on the hills, or relax and enjoy the tranquil surroundings of historic Glenshee. Each holiday cabin caters for the comforts of home, with everything from fully-equipped kitchens to Freesat TV,DVD players, BBQ’s and Wi-Fi. Whether you are a couple on a romantic retreat, a family looking for an outdoorsy holiday or just someone who wants a proper break, a holiday in a log cabin like these provides a restful sanctuary with a picturesque backdrop.

Visit the towns of Pitlochry and Braemar with their woollen shops and souvenirs, follow the whisky trail beginning with Edradour, the smallest distillery in Scotland, or visit the Braemar Highland Games on the first Sunday of September. You can explore on foot or bike, or you could fish for salmon and trout in local lochs. The golf enthusiast is spoilt for choice, from the delightful 9 hole course next door on Dalmunzie Estate, to Braemar, Ballater, Aboyne, Pitlochry, Kirriemuir, Blairgowrie and Alyth, all within 45 minutes drive.
