Property info
At the steading, we are trying to build unique, low impact sustainable holiday accommodation, with high-quality design and materials for our guests. The tiny house is the first of three accommodations. This sustainably crafted tiny house, adorned with beautiful hand-made woodworks and a unique wood-fired roll-top bath to soak and enjoy the stars in, is the perfect place to rest your head during your highland adventures. The tiny house can sleep up to four guests. Two guests on a king-size loft bed and two on a hand-made pull-out double bed. The tiny house boasts a kitchen, equipped with everything you need including a sage coffee machine; a lounge with a unique hand-crafted dining area; and a bathroom with a spacious walk-in shower.
In the mornings, wake up to spectacular views and try your hand at brewing a professional coffee. In the afternoon, sit outside on the lovely raised deck and enjoy a glass of wine or a wee dram while overlooking the beautiful organic vegetable garden. Then to add a bit of luxury to your holiday, sit back and relax in the vintage wood-fired roll-top bath. There is also a hot tub that is shared with our other guests at the steading that all are welcome to use. The perfect way to end a day exploring the local area!
Neighborhood info
The tiny house is located on a small steading nestled in the heart of the Cairngorms, on the edge of beautiful Ballater. As you enter you will see an old stone building and a newly landscaped wildflower garden that will be in full bloom in the spring. It has been planted with native wildflowers and will provide a habitat for local wildlife.
At the steading, we are trying to build unique, low impact sustainable holiday accommodation, with high-quality design and materials for our guests. There is two tiny house's and a cabin all are newly built and finished. However, you may notice other projects on the property which are not completed to the same level as the these accommodations. Though, this should not impact or disturb you during your stay, whatsoever. The tiny house is perfectly situated to access all that the Cairngorms and Royal Deeside have to offer. Walking trails, hiking, golf, mountain biking, skiing and other outdoor activities are all on your doorstep. The accommodation is located a mile and a half to Ballater. You can either drive or walk along the much loved 7 bridges walk to get to the village. Balmoral and Royal Lochnagar Whiskey distillery are only 6 miles away.
