Intro
This luxurious 6-person cabin
utilizes authentic Canadian craftsmanship to create a truly unique
and stunning structure in one of the most beautiful natural
settings the UK has to offer. Idyllically nestled in the Scottish
Highlands, this magical family retreat sits only 50m from the
shores of Loch Garry surrounded by ancient mountains, lochs and
mystical moorland; perfectly illustrating the region's natural
rugged beauty.
Inverness airport is only an
hour away, but here you will find a location to truly escape.
Handcrafted using traditional Canadian methods, the giant Western
Red Cedar log construction sits beautifully amongst several acres
of secluded woodland with a picturesque burn trickling by and the
spectacular Loch Garry located just through the trees. This divine
paradise is the perfect place to unwind with friends and family and
enjoy life's simple pleasures.
The cabin itself offers luxury
on every level with each detail carefully thought out. The interior
is elegantly styled with luxurious furnishings and plenty of rugs,
throws and furs to keep you lovely and toasty.
Mingle in the magnificent communal spaces with family and friends
or snuggle into one of the many cosy corners around the
intelligently designed space.
Explore the Loch in the canoes, paddle
boards or rowing boat, or simply saunter along the
numerous paths and trails and indulge in the breath-taking
natural surrounds. In colder
climes, cosy up around the log burner with a mulled wine in hand,
or soak away your stresses and strains in the sumptuous hot tub on
the wooden deck. Whatever the season this really is a holiday
destination to savour.
Please note, Caledonian Cabin
can also be rented along
with the Bunkhouse and
Shepherds Hut, for larger groups of up to 12.

Grocery
information
The nearest village shop is a
20-minute drive to Fort Augustus, which stocks a good range of
produce, but we recommend a stop in Inverness or Fort William to
buy the bulk of your provisions en-route. If you fly to
Inverness, you will pass a large Tesco on the A96 en-route, which
is open 24 hours a day, every day (even all-night Sunday). Asda is
the only online supermarket that will deliver to the
cabin.
Guests are encouraged to leave
any non-perishable items, so there are few essentials available for
the next guests. Please, be kind enough to replace any everyday
items you finish off during your stay.
The cabin has a tall fridge
freezer to provide plenty of storage space for food during your
stay.
You will find the basics of
salt, pepper, cooking oil, dishcloths, washing-up liquid, soap
powder, tea, coffee and sugar and there are usually items such as
tin foil, cling film and bin bags in the drawers.
Guests are free to use the
picnic basket and rug for days out, as well as the gas BBQ, pizza
oven smoker or fire pit with grill, for alfresco cooking and
dining, we just request that you clean them after
use.
Eco-Friendly
The cabin benefits from the
latest innovations in sustainable energy. Underfloor heating is
powered by an air source heat pump, which also provides the hot
water. A log burner in the lounge provides warmth in even the
coldest temperatures and gives a super-cosy
atmosphere.
As the cabin is situated in
such a remote location, there are no mains water supply, so
rainwater is harvested off the slate roof. The water is stored
safely underground in a 15,000-litre capacity tank and then
pumped into the cabin on demand via several filters. The result is
some of the purest water you will ever find, which has a
refreshingly wonderful taste. Hot water is heated and stored in a
300-litre tank.
Location and
Destination
The mystical Scottish
Highlands is an area of enchanting beauty and magnificent natural
splendour, with Caledonian Cabin sitting enviably only 50m from the
shores of Loch Garry. Guests are spoilt for choice with a plethora
of mountains, moorland and ancient waterways to discover.
Explore the primaeval Loch for
pristine waters and mesmerizing views. Walk along the burn
that trickles past the cabin and find a wonderful Sir
Thomas Telford bridge, giving access to yet more picturesque
woodland and shoreline.
There are a variety of
restaurants locally, which all serve reasonable meals, although
eating in and enjoying the cabin is probably the best
option.
The cabin is gloriously
remote, with the nearest village shop located 20 minutes away in
Fort Augustus, so be sure to stock up on food and essentials when
you get the opportunity.
We are sure you'll enjoy every
minute of your stay here in this magical setting and leave feeling
relaxed, refreshed and ready to plan your next Highland
escape!
