Absolute BEST accommodations I’ve experienced in 40 years! Gorgeous property, spacious and well appointed room. The attention to detail in the decor and accouterments was thoughtful and creative. Mark the host was genuine and accommodating. Started off my first trip to Scotland here and would happily stay again! Fabulous stay!

Amazing stay, amazing host. So cozy!

We loved our stay, just wish we could have stayed longer. We got in later than check in and Mark the owner still came to greet us and help us with our bags. He was so kind and made sure we had everything we needed. We stayed in the black bear hut and it was everything we needed! Definitely small, but we were expecting it to be, and if anything it added to the coziness! The owners thought of everything from snacks, tea, coffee, fresh towels, you name it. The space was so clean, I have nothing bad to say about our stay.

Luxurious and private lodge in a beautiful setting

Beautiful luxurious mansion with thoughtful styling throughout! The lodge was on the top of the hill creating privacy and with gorgeous views of the loch and hills. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable. Would highly recommend this stay when visiting loch ness!

A unique little hut thats very effective as a base of operations. Its too small to be permanent setting. Very clean with snacks laid on in the kitchen bin. Definitely for car users as driveway is steep and twisty. Very little contact with owners as we only required an additional towel which was bought to us in a few minutes. Views are of the local woodland and Loch Ness is a few minutes drive away. Overall we enjoyed our two nights there. Recommended stay.

Liked that it was fairly secluded and quiet in the bear hut. Though if the guests in the next hut were outside you would have heard everything. The spider in the bed was definitely not ideal. Daughter stayed in the room inside the house and could hear the folks above her.

We loved our stay in the Black Bear cottage this week! The location was perfect for exploring the highlands and then coming back to the beauty and tranquility of the lodge area and huts. The owners are so kind and helpful…we got lots of great tips from them on places to stop and see during our exploring. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed to feel comfortable. We brought a plug converter since we were visiting from the US but the cottage had a wall outlet above the bed headboard with a shelf so that we could connect usb and other cords to charge our phones etc. so we only used it for extras. Definitely recommend staying here and we can’t wait to visit again!

This place is adorable, a little hut in the woods, its like a gypsy trailer on wheels... the shower works great and it was stocked with yummy treats and even milk in the fridge! My only suggestion would be to put screens on the window due to the midges....Loved it!

It was a fine stay. Nothing spectacular. The host should definitely add to their Expedia listing that you will be required to leave 20 pounds in cash PER NIGHT if you would like to use the hot tub in the Bonnie Prince Charlie sweet what you pay extra money for already in the listing price. I double checked when I got there to be sure that I didn't miss it. I did not travel with cash so this was kind of annoying. The host could have definitely made note of this in emails as well. We booked this room well in advance specifically for the hot tub. Other than that breakfast was nice. An idea might be to add a microwave to the room. Also this is quite far from Inverness if you are hoping to be close by.

Nice quiet out of the way place with beautiful grounds. The room was spacious, bed and pillows were comfortable. The bathroom was XL, the only ding would be the shower pressure was very low. It took awhile to get the conditioner out of my hair. Never saw any staff. Overall still would recommend.

We had the most wonderful stay at the Highland Bear Lodge. The property is absolutely stunning, and our room (The Bonnie Prince Charlie Suite) was amazing. We felt like we had gone back in history and were surrounded by luxury. The room and bathroom were beautifully appointed. The continental breakfast was fabulous and very thoughtful. We couldn’t have asked for anymore from our hosts. Thank you.

We stayed in the Bonnie Prince Charlie room, this was both charming, comfortable and spacious. We didn’t see the hosts but were given information to contact them if a need . Continental breakfast was left in the room. The driveway was very steep, would recommend arriving in daylight. Would highly recommend this lodge.
