About this property
Newtonmore 3 miles. This very well-presented log cabin is situated in a stunning open setting in a quiet site with direct access to the woods, close to the village of Newtonmore, in the Cairngorms National Park. A real home-from-home this cabin is ideal for a couple on a romantic break, a family group or group of friends who will all love the peaceful ambience of the location and appreciate the luxury of a private hot tub from which the surrounding hills can be fully appreciated whilst sipping a glass of something sparkling. The comfortable living area has a touch of welcoming tartan and a very well-equipped kitchen where tasty meals can be easily prepared.
There are two smart bedrooms. French doors from the sitting area give direct access onto the decked balcony which is a perfect spot for a quiet read or pre-dinner glass of wine, along with a dip in the hot tub. The Cairngorm National Park is a truly magical location for a holiday as it offers everything you would expect of the largest national park in the United Kingdom. Aviemore is close by and offers a diverse range of activities for all ages. Skiiing, of course, in the winter time along with mountain biking, pony trekking, archery, quad bike trails, sled dog riding and so much more.
Wildlife lovers will be in their element here as the high mountains and ancient forests attract wildcats, capercaillie and pine martens along with golden eagles too. Be sure to take a ride up the Cairngorm Mountain on the Funicular Railway as no matter what the weather the view is magnificent. A wonderful holiday location with something for everyone and a top notch holiday home to return to and relax in at the end of a busy day with a soak in your own wonderful hot tub.
Overlooking the River Spey, in the Cairngorms National Park (Britain's largest), Newtonmore has several shops and pubs, as well as two excellent, award-winning museums - the Highland Folk Museum and Clan MacPherson Museum.

Lynn was helpful and communicative and the cabin was clean and very well equipped. We loved stargazing and red squirrel watching from the hot tub! The cabin was very cosy and warm, and the kids loved having their own highland cow hot water bottles. The Christmas hamper and Christmas tree was a lovely touch and made the stay feel even more festive. The kitchen had everything you might need for cooking, making Christmas dinner was a doddle! It was perfect and we all had the most amazing week. Weâd love to return in the summer sometime and hike some of the munros that were just a little too snowy for us to attempt. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

The property was everything we hoped it would be and the site was clean and quiet, surrounded by the most amazing views. The owner was kindness itself, even when bombarded with stupid questions and she even made a special trip to deliver a new kettle when the old one sprang a leak. I was particularly impressed with the provision of the red squirrels; it's almost as if she knew how much I wanted to see one! We will definitely be returning!

Very clean and well decorated. Perfect to get away for some peace and quiet. Surroundings were fantastic and the owner was so lovely.
