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 aunique 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.

We love to welcome your furry friends, we ask for a £30 fee for up to two animals to help our cleaners keep the property free of animal hair.

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

    Really was a fantastic stay! We had 2 nights there but wish we had booked for longer! They have done it so well! Looks just like a “tiny house” from the outside, yet they have utilised the space inside… it feels lovely and spacious! Comfy bed with sky light (if you are lucky enough for a starry night - you’re in for a treat) 30 min drive to glenshee ski centre and 5 mins from Ballater which is a lovely little town with walks and mountain biking on the doorstep! Great little outside Woodburner bath to top it off too. If we end up that way again we will be back for sure ?

    The inside of the house was very clean. We did have issues with the plumbing on the first day, but a handy man came over almost immediately, followed by the owner. The issue was resolved in short order. The handy man even took off his shoes before entering! The design of the house was very clever, with lots of details accounted for. The upstairs bed was very comfy - the second one less so - but it did the trick.Karl and Bess couldn't have been nicer or more helpful, even giving us local tips and ideas of places to see.

    Beautiful tiny house situated next to a lovely garden just outside the quaint town of Ballater in the Scottish Highlands. The loft bed with a large window and skylight made it seem like we were sleeping in a treehouse with spectacular morning views of the hills. Really cool that it was all ecologically sustainable. There was a lovely vegetable and flower garden right next to the house. The only improvement I would suggest is replacing the scratched Teflon pans to avoid the health problems associated with Teflon.

    It's hard to put into words, but this quaint little hut housed some very special memories. It's a really nicely designed and well located place with lots of amazing local walks. Having the opportunity to see the night sky and all its stars without any light pollution was a real bonus.

    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!
