This cabin really portrays the beauty that is Scotland. This was my fiancé and I’s first time out of the country and I couldn’t have picked a better place to stay for a week.

Perfect cabin in the woods.

We loved this little cottage out in the Sticks or as we say "The Twillies". It was comfortable and cute. Make sure you know there is no wifi within the cabin. It is a good ways outside of Inverness but close to the Rogie fall and the Singleton (Muir of Ord) distillery. Super fun and quiet! Bigfoot did not find us here! Beautiful scenery around the cabin.

The property is very well hidden, tucked away in the Blackmuir Woods, past the parking lot for the woods. From the parking for the lodges, you have to walk another 150 feet down a gravel path. Only take things that you can carry by hand. No hot water in kitchen or bathroom sinks. No wifi. But it was lovely, quiet, and backs right onto the forest paths.

excellent logement. Il serait cependant peut-être bon de changer les casseroles et la poêle qui sont très usées et il manque un faitout. Mais mis à part ces détails, tout est parfait
