The house has a large open plan living area, two bedrooms - one with en-suite shower room - a family bathroom and a separate utility room. The double-height living space incorporates the kitchen, dining and sitting areas and enjoys views to the surrounding hills and woods. A log-burner provides heating and a focal point, and the French doors give access to a timber deck.

Wine, coffee and biscuits are provided as a welcome pack, and you’ll also find guest soaps by Isle of Skye Soap Co. in each of the bathrooms and a basket of logs by the stove.
Skye is a popular tourist destination and offers a wide range of attractions and outdoor activities for all. There is much to explore in Braes itself with seaside walks, hill walks and a wealth of wildlife and heritage to discover. Deer, eagles, otters and other wildlife are commonly seen from the house. Further afield, Portree provides a range of shops, bars and restaurants and Sligachan is an ideal place to walk in to the Black or Red Cuillins. The rest of the island is readily accessible.

The house is very beautiful and well kept. We were really impressed with how well stocked it was, it had everything we needed and more. It was really warm and cosy, the seating was perfect for relaxing- super comfortable sofa. Thank you for the wine, coffee and biscuits - all delicious and really thoughtful. We had a brilliant time, the house is well located to visit all of Skye. Would definitely recommend, and recommend Wilderness Cottages - every property we rented through this company have been outstanding with great customer service.
As we arrived at the Tree House a Golden Eagle lifted up into the trees and flew off as we entered. What a welcome! A beautiful house in a beautiful setting among trees and fields with sheep. The single lane track leads further down to a nice beach. We explored Trotternish, the area around Dunvegan, Talisker and Carbost and when it was raining we spent some time in Portree. We thoroughly enjoyed our time which was way too short and would happily come back.
Absolutely wonderful place. Architecturally interesting building, big windows, flooded with light. Very comfortable place to spend some quality time away. Well equipped. Comfortable bed. Totally recommend.
We had a wonderful week here . The house is quietly situated four miles down a single-track road which leads only to the end of the peninsula. The house is very tasteful and modern , well equipped , comfortable with a pleasant outlook. Thank you for the generous welcome gifts and full supply of t-rolls , d/W tablets etc .
We had a wonderful stage at Tigh-na-Craobh. It is in a lovely peaceful position and very central for exploring Skye. The kitchen was well equipped and very organised and clean. We enjoyed cooking there each evening. The bathrooms were also very clean and the showers had plenty of hot water. The whole standard of the house was very impressive. We arrived late and had informed Wilderness Cottages. It was great to arrive after midnight with the lights on and welcoming us in.
The Tree House was extremely clean and modern. No carpets and large windows. The hosts did everything to make guests feel comfortable. A lovely welcome package with shortbread and wine, games, a wonderful wood stove and a well equipped kitchen. And well located, near Portree but in the countryside and near the see. We loved staying at the Tree House.
