Stag's Hide

Stag’s Hide was formerly used by the gamekeeper of Kinrara Estate, and dates back to 1909. The tin roof is very much part of Scotland’s rural landscape which adds to the care of this humble abode. Standing on the front doorstep, absorb the views of the Cairngorm Mountain Range, natural woodland where deer graze & frolic and broods of pheasants nest and roam . It truly sets the mood for a back to nature experience. The cedar clad hot tub or perhaps the garden patio with BBQ are an ideal spot for soaking up the picturesque surroundings. Indoors, you can put your feet up and relax with the warm glow from the squirrel log burner. The interiors reflect a simple Scandi style which is both aesthetically pleasing and practical. Stag’s Hide has a calm feel through use of soft and natural textiles, in line with a slower pace of life. Although compact, the cosy cottage offers everything a family could need, including open-plan kitchen, dining/living area with Sonos speaker and Smart TV, luxury double bedrooms. You can reach the centre of Aviemore on foot (20 minutes) via road and track or by bike (10 minutes). Many paths and tracks can be accessed from the cottage doorstep.
