About this property

Unique tiny house with wood-fired roll-top tub in ❤ of the Cairngorms

This sustainably crafted tiny house, adorned with beautiful hand-made woodworks and a unique wood-fired roll-top bath or hot tub 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 luxurious king-size bed in the loft 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 addition to your own private wood-fired roll top bath, there is a hot tub for you to get the full relaxation experience in! The hot tub is shared with our other guests at the steading The tiny house encompasses comfort, functionality and luxury in a magnificent compact and sustainable design.

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 or the hot tub. The perfect way to end a day exploring the local area!

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. 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 accommodations, with high-quality design and materials for our guests. The tiny house is newly built and 100% finished. However, you may notice other projects on the property which are not completed to the same level as the tiny house, 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. Here you can find a selection of café’s, restaurants and pubs, or possibly a bit of local independent shopping. If you want to visit the Queen, Balmoral Estates is a stone’s throw away. Balmoral and Royal Lochnagar Whiskey distillery are only 6 miles away. Also close by is the Historic Town of Braemar.

If there is anything you should need during your stay we are only a message or phone call away.

The Cosy Cabin
The wee cabin was a very cosy stay for my partner and I, exactly what we were looking for on our weekend in the Cairngorms. Even though the weather was tough going, the hot tub is well sheltered so we happily jumped in to unwind both evenings. The cabin has everything you need and its all within arms reach, giving a taste of comfortable vanlife without having to worry about emptying the toilet or finding parking! The shower was great, the upstairs bed is very cosy with beautiful views from the windows and the woodburner heats the place up in no time. Next time, it would be great to see some wee lights along the path to guide you back from the hot tub at night, and a few firelighters would make lighting the wee stove a bit more foolproof. Thanks for hosting a wonderful weekend!
