About this property
Chalet with large decking, great views, WIFI included. ATTENTION SKIERS - IDEAL
IDEAL ACCOMMODATION FOR YOUR SKI BREAK IN THE CAIRNGORMS WHILST CONDITIONS LAST
The property is a ABI Milano built to residential specification BS3632, this upgrade allows for improved insulation thus heats up quicker in winter.
The chalet is positioned in a commanding position for views over the countryside and mountains. A peaceful setting awaits....
It has two bedrooms with main en suite and a further bathroom with shower. A large fully equipped kitchen, washing machine included, leads into an open-plan living room which has plenty of comfortable seating for watching either the views, or your favourite programme on the 48" TV. The main bedroom has a queen-size bed with reading lights on either side. An added bonus with this chalet is there's a vanity unit in the main bedroom. The 2nd bedroom has two single beds. There's plenty of storage space in either bedroom for clothes etc.
The front of the chalet has the FULL length and height double patio front doors which leads onto the patio for maximum views of landscape and mountains. Just outside these doors you will be standing on decking which extends the FULL 40ft x 3m length of the chalet with the front decking extending an EXTRA 4M. Biggest decking on site so NOTHING IS CRAMMED. A wood burning 'braai' ( BBQ) is for your use.
There are also 4 push-bikes in the shed which guests are welcome to use. These bikes belong to the owners so guests use them at their own risk.
Naturally all bedding and towels are provided, even a hair dryer! A dedicated free parking bay alongside the chalet.

About the host
Hosted by Lauren Farmer
I'm a South African from Cape Town now living in Scotland. Been here for 30 years and a week ( AND COUNTING...) and have a family. Still have my accent thanks to visits to 'top up just in case.. Like F1 and pretending to know what I'm doing when repairing my Audi TT 225 model!
Like 'proper' music such as ROCK ( AC/DC, Led Zepplin etc) Used to ride motor-bikes until kids arrived. Now thanks to mid-life crises No2, intend to learn how the play the guitar.
Work in the offshore industry worldwide.

Why they chose this property
As we like the Aviemore area, especially Boat of Garten, it's closer for us to use whenever possible as we only are 90 minutes drive away (if wife not in car).
What makes this property unique
Peace.....and close to some of the best hikes and trails.
