Chalet vacation rentals in Loch Ness

Susan’s lodge was a joy to stay in. We wanted a base near Inverness to do a lot of walking in the highlands, but that was comfortable to come back to at the end of the day. When we arrived, we were surprised as it seemed a larger than the pictures. It was the most well appointed airbnb we have ever stayed in. Excellent knives, 4 slice toaster, decent sized teapot and cafetiere, washing machine, even a freezer. It was lovely to wake up right next to the fields, and also a lovely spot in the evening outside, watching the swallows, swifts and chaffinches flit around and the rabbits on the grass with a glass of wine. Susan was very clear and specific in her communications, and looked after us very well. We were blessed with excellent weather, but if it had been a worse, we would have enjoyed some lowland walking, trips to Inverness and time inside the lodge. Definite book again when next in the area, so long as Susan has space!

Nice and comfy chalet, splendid view. A little bit off the main road but still good to reach (on a small lane). We immediately felt at home. Morag responded very quickly and straightforward on our short-notice requests. She is very friendly, very helpful and easy to chat along. Thank you very much! :)

Great location for exploring Oban and the surrounding area. Marion was really helpful in suggesting what to do in the local area. The house was perfect for our family, catering well for our young daughter with the bunk bed , cuddly toy and kids crockery. The house was clean, comfortable, well equipped and had lovely views from the balcony. Would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.

Nic and Lindsay were lovely hosts,friendly,helpful and welcoming. We soon felt at home and were extremely comfortable. Freshly baked scones and treats were a very nice touch. Just fantastic view across to the mountains. Weather was kind and we were able to sit out on the balcony . Lovely walks on the doorstep, and plenty to do and see in the area. Good restaurants locally. Highly recommended .

We arrived early but no problem for Penny. Cabin was very clean and in a quiet road with the River Spey visible through the woods. Very comfortable beds. Kitchen had all facilities we required. Outside picnic table in the sun for much of the day. Within a stones throw of the Old Bridge Inn with great food and drink. Within easy walking distance of the centre of Aviemore for all amenities. There is a railway line at the back of the cabin but there is very little traffic and hardly noticed the trains. Thanks for a great stay. Would stay again.

Richard's place is just perfect for a break in the beautiful setting of Aviemore. The site is very well maintained and the property has wonderful views and everything that you would need for a self catering break. There is lots to do in the surrounding area and the shops, bars and eating places are within easy walking distance.

Great accomodation and location

Such a peaceful place to stay… open, warm, quiet, and welcoming. Home has so much to feel like your at your own family vacation home—good cooking facilities/tools, games for all kinds of kids, open space to be in the home, beautiful open grounds, very good linens and comfortable beds. Jenny and Seb are very welcoming, friendly, responsive, and kind hosts, genuine people who care about providing a great retreat space. Highly recommend, but only to the most kind hearted people who will enjoy such pleasures!

We had a lovely stay. The cabin was perfect, the view spectacular and dinner at the restaurant was delicious. Staff were helpful and super friendly. I only wish our plans would have permitted a longer stay.

We had a wonderful short break at Cameron and Lucy's estate. The house itself was utterly beautiful, very stylish, and everything has been thought of, and it's got huge amounts of space for everyone to find a quiet corner and enjoy the spectacular views. The beds are very comfortable and the whole house works really well. There are a number of self catering chalets on the estate with a range of prices and styles, so if you're looking for somewhere for groups of family or friends, then this is a perfect option. One tiny detail is that there is an additional charge to bring dogs, so if you're planning to do so, it's worth contacting the estate first to find out the charges for it - it's not shown on this site, but don't let that put you off! We all had a great time, and hope to visit again soon. Thank you both

The lodge is truly special both inside and out in the most stunning location. Great experience all round.

Very happy with our stay at Iona. Jim and Pauline have a comprehensive webpage with all relevant details. Our stay was wonderful. Highly recommend Birchbrae Lodges.

Karen’s Airbnb was modern, spotless, stylish and literally the most well-provisioned AirBnb I have ever stayed at. Dyson hairdryers in both main suites, every kitchen appliance you could imagine (why of course there’s an ice cream maker!) and then some you didn’t know existed like a hot chocolate maker as well. She was so kind and helpful despite our last-minute reservation in mid-week November happening at the same time as some significant personal events as well. Wonderful, kind, stylish host with a beautiful first class house.

The lodge on the loch was breathtaking, from the sights on the water to the mountains in the distance. Our lodge had a perfect view of the sunset over the mountains. The hot tub was clean and great for relaxation as we watched the sun slowly settle below the horizon of the mountainscape. Smoking is not permitted in the lodge but is allowed on the back porch overlooking the loch. The staff were very helpful and ready to assist with any requests. We were allowed an additional hour for check out. The lodge did not have any napkins or paper towels so be sure to bring your own; but it was well equipped with cooking and drinking necessities and a dishwasher. The lodge was clean and comfortable with a flat screen tv and 2 leather couches adding comfort from inside. The midges come out at sundown so be aware that they can become troublesome. Bring bug repellent and plenty of sunblock. The rooms can get warm on hot days. Our stay was incredible and a great experience.

Amazing place and what peaceful ambience.

Outstanding location... stunning views from the property... hot tub on the balcony was the icing on the cake... loved the place. The people at the restaurant were great too. The only downside was Paul didn't respond to queries posted. Fortunately, I got all the answers I needed by directly calling the reception desk! That said, I'd happily book there again, simply for the positive reasons stated above.

Cameron on site was excellent. He had great local recommendations. The house was fantastic with a lovely view of the Loch. Cute on site visitors center with snacks, food, and drinks for sale. Portnellian was such a great estate.

first time been to this area, the view was stunning, hot tub clean and hot, lodge was cosy and the adjoining hotel was the icing on the cake with excellent staff and service - where we had a great evening meal and a few pints overlooking the loch.

This is our third time staying at the Gun Club. We love the location in beautiful, peaceful surroundings and with a large, secure, enclosed area for dogs. The place is always clean and tidy and we can just turn up and set up home for a week. There is plenty of space for everything and the facilities are just what we need. We look forward to coming back time and time again!

W had a fantastic time at The Lochan . Carlo is an amazing host and the place is just BEAUTIFUL. We annoyed the outside fireplace and the great kitchen a lot. Would absolutely come back and recommend it to everyone. Thank you Carlo

Tulloch Farm is the perfect location to explore Lochaber and the Cairgorms with easy access to all the main roads. It is so peaceful on the farm. There are well laid out walks and paths around the farm and by the river which were perfect for us. We were so fortunate with the weather during our stay, but the cottage itself is cosy and warm with lots of games and books. Our children especially loved the well kitted games room onsite. Excellent recycling facilities too. We throughly recommend the Retreat at Tulloch Farm.

We enjoyed a lovely day in Kentallen. The view and landscape is beautiful and after a long hike we enjoyed the hot tub. The lodge is as described and very well equiped. We surely will come back.

The Place was great. Marvelous location. Airbnb was great. Clean and Tidy. We had everything we needed there. We enjoyed the hot tub. Nice view . Definitely worth the price.

A relaxing stay with stunning loch views and a cozy atmosphere. Hosts Osh and Ash are welcoming and thoughtful. There are horse on the grounds which added to the charm of the property.
