Cascade Cabin

This woodland hideaway boasts a tucked-away location, surrounded by trees in the Heights of Achterneed. Sleeping two guests, the lodge is the perfect romantic bolthole for couples looking to escape the humdrum of everyday life in picturesque surroundings. The walking opportunities in the area are endless, from exhilarating mountain climbs to loch-side strolls. For evenings out, the bustling town of Strathpeffer is just 2 miles away. After a day of adventure, crack open the bubbly and sink into your relaxing, wood-fired hot tub.

The beautiful, wooden lodge is bright and airy, with an open-plan layout and large windows framing the rural surroundings. The property has a home-away-from-home vibe, with subtle Highland decor and plush soft furnishings. Adorning the walls, you’ll find a collection of colourful artworks depicting the local landscapes and wildlife.

A few steps lead to the veranda and into the spacious lounge/kitchen/diner. Spend time here, cooking delicious dinners for two in the sleek kitchen area, to share together at the dining table next to the cosy wood burner. After dinner, snuggle up on the sofa to watch a classic film on the Smart TV. The sofa converts to a bed, to accommodate another guest if required. When day turns to night, retire to the inviting double bedroom for a good night’s rest. A stylish shower room completes this wonderful rural retreat.

Outside, rest and recharge in the wood-fired hot tub or curl up in the hanging egg chair on the veranda with your favourite book. The outside area is enclosed, making it ideal for four-pawed visitors, and there’s also furniture for al fresco dining.

The Victorian spa town of Strathpeffer is 2 miles away. The town is bursting with history and culture and has fascinating local attractions such as the Strathpeffer Pump Room and the Highland Museum of Childhood – the perfect place to while away an afternoon, if the weather’s not on your side. Alternatively, head to the distillery to sample some of the delicious local whisky. The town is a great base for walkers, with a wide variety of routes within easy reach, including the climb to the Iron Age fort of Knock Farril and the picturesque stroll to Loch Kinellan. For those looking to really stretch the legs, why not take on the magnificent Munro of Ben Wyvis (20 miles)? The panoramic views from its plateau summit are unrivalled.

The beauty spot of Rogie Falls (6.5 miles) is a must for the itinerary. The series of cascading waterfalls along the Black River are a paradise for photographers, and wildlife watchers will enjoy watching the leaping salmon from the impressive suspension bridge across the water.

The property is also within easy reach of the vibrant city of Inverness, which is just 19 miles away. Immerse yourself in history at one of the city’s magnificent castles or enjoy a peaceful wander around the colourful botanic gardens. You can also take day trips from Inverness to Loch Ness.
