This beautiful self catering building is an authentic log cabin. Built by Canadian foresters in 1980, it took them 2 years to take whole logs from the local forest and knit them all together to make the present day comfortable, and very cosy 2 bedroomed cabin.
Situated in a secluded forest location, 2 miles from the centre of the Loch Ness side village of Fort Augustus, in the heart of the Great Glen. Many guests return year after year just to spend time in this unique log cabin. Understandably, given its superb setting and central location, (Fort Augustus is in the geographical centre of the Highlands of Scotland) this is one of the most popular holiday choices in the Highlands. Through the village runs the River Oich and the picturesque Caledonian canal and lock system, built by Thomas Telford in the early 1800's.
Set in the forest with only a few other houses nearby. Close to the Great Glen cycle way and many miles of forest and hill trails. The cottage is warm and cosy throughout the year and is an ideal retreat for those wanting to spend some time walking, relaxing, and for quietly pursuing your favourite pastimes.
There are many forest and hill walks from the doorstep. The River Oich riverside walk is only three quarters of a mile away, and a walk to the nearest pubs and restaurants in the village of Fort Augustus is one and half miles. The proximity to attractions also makes this a favourite destination for young families. With Fort William (Ben Nevis) and Inverness, only an hour away by car. The West coast also only a little over an hours drive.

Thankyou for a lovely stay at the log house. Weather was beautiful. Location fabulous with dog walks on the doorstep. The log house itself was clean and comfortable although the sofas were a little tired looking. Beds would benefit from firmer mattresses but I know this is very personal preference. The single beds were more comfortable. Hot water plentiful and the log burner in the evening was lovely just to take the chill off.
I would definitely stay again, but sadly the house is for sale :-(
The log house was just as beautiful as I remembered as I was there 26 years ago when mr lees owned the property ! Have a fabulous time and the weather was very nice while we were there so added bonus !! Sadly didn't see any of the wild red deer that I saw every day before on my earlier visit but thoroughly enjoyed our break x
Our second visit. Such an amazing relaxing cabin and location. We would happily holiday here every year. Loved it.
Had a lovely 2 weeks in the loghouse. A bit wetter than usual but didnt spoil our stay. The 5k walk around the forest that you could do, has now more or less gone with all the work they are doing after knocking down most of the trees. That was the most disappointing part of our holiday and with the loghouse currently being up for sale, not sure about future holidays there.
Amazing place, great walks from the front door, central heating could be better but a huge supply of logs for the wood burning stove compensated , wouldn't hesitate to return
Lovely property! Very cosy, excellent log burner and GCH. Great bathroom with huge bath/shower and well-equipped kitchen with useful washing machine and tumble-dryer. Takes about 30 minutes easy walk to the centre of the village for shops etc, or five minutes in car. Beds very comfortable too. We will book the Log Cabin again, for sure.
