Jane Linn
A special place to stay. Setting is great with direct access to forest and outdoors. it has great views to the Monoliath Mountains, short drive to Aviemore and Loch Insh. We love the feature fireplace wall and the spiral staircase. Recently we have upgraded the landing area at the top of the stairs with an L shade sofa bed and set it up as a flexible space for two guest to sleep or just chill out area if the house is not to capacity.
We have tried to create properties where our guests have a lovely home to stay in and make memories. Hopefully a special place to come home to after sight seeing or ski-ing or whatever your activity is where you can relax and feel at home but away from your everyday life.
The lodge sits on an edge of a forest with miles of foot and bike paths and trails. There is so much to do in the area, just Google things to do in Aviemore to see what I mean :-)
