About this property

Comfortable Secluded Bungalow in Wooded Setting

Although secluded, with stunning forest views to the rear, just minutes away are the farm shop, mountain bike hire and a restaurant. The secluded forest garden to the rear allows direct access by foot to Loch an Eilean and beyond. For mountain bikers, all the Rothiemurchus Estate trails are accessed from the front of the house. For families with young children, please note there is a pond in the garden.

Beautiful accommodation in a beautiful location
4th visit to Talisker over 14 years. Property is kept to a high standard. Peaceful location but close to Aviemore centre. Plenty of walks locally with many other activities to choose from. Do as much or as little as you want. Plenty of wildlife in the garden. Stock up on suet balls and peanuts for the birds - have never seen so many outside a kitchen window. Highly recommend this property.

Perfect location
This is our second stay and we absolutely love this location. Squirrels, deer and birds in the yard. Walk to the rothiemurchas cafe and meeting area for activities. And beautiful hiking out the front door!

Great stay
We had a wonderful week in Talisker Forest Lodge. The peaceful outlook to the forest was wonderful and we loved the very many birds on the feeders. The house was well equipped and clean and had a nice charm and feel with all the skiing and mountain pictures. I hope we can return.

Why they chose this property

Booked by many regular guests who have been returning for upto 10 years, Talisker Forest Lodge enjoys a secluded location in a special forest area, along with great proximitely to the local services and the rest of the Spey Valley. Guests regularly make day trips to Loch Ness’ dolphin watching in the Moray Firth and even the Isle of Skye. Alternatively the large garden, surrounded by forest provides an ideal opportunity to relax in peace and enjoy the wildlife.
The house itself is extensively furnished and equipped as a real home as it is used regularly by the owner.

What makes this property unique

Being able to get away from it all but still having the excellent facilities close by while enjoying the comforts and benefits of a real home.
Major refurbishment of the lounge and hallway taking place in late November’19 and will be completed in time for the festive season.
