About this property
1 luxury lodge sleeps up to 17
The Wilds is set in a mature 2 ½ acre garden that is a nature watches haven, as well as a child’s idea of garden perfection with a wooden play frame and lots of trees, a little stream and a long, smooth hill (just perfect for sledging). The adults have certainly been well-catered for too, with a cedar-clad 8-person hot tub, an outdoor eating area and a fire pit - all the ingredients for a relaxing evening after a day spent exploring the Cairngorms.
Inside, the whole house has a warm and contemporary Alpine-feel, with wood and natural materials everywhere you look, such as the big statement stone fireplace in the living and dining room. It’s the perfect place to unwind and relax, with a cosy wood burning stove and three comfy sofas to sink into. There’s a double height ceiling, french windows that look out the front of the house to the garden and a long dining table.
The Wild has six spacious and comfortable bedrooms and five bathrooms including a luxurious family bathroom with free-standing bath and rain shower. There are plenty of extra features to keep everyone happy, such as a table tennis table in the double garage, and a large kennel with a run, should your dog want a little space of their own. They are of course more than welcome in the house too!
You would be forgiven for thinking that the location of a lodge called The Wilds might be just that. Even though you will feel as if you are in the middle of nowhere, you are really convenient for both Aviemore (15 minutes away) and Kingussie (under 10 minutes away). There are a number of walking routes that can be accessed only metres away from the drive of the lodge. Only 5 minutes drive from the lodge is the outdoor playground of Loch Insh - a watersports centre where you can sail, windsurf, Canadian canoe, kayak...as well as enjoy land based sports such as archery and dry slope skiing.
*Please note that this property does not accept Stag and Hen parties*
