As you drop down over the peak of the hill, your eyes are automatically drawn to the most beautifully crafted, sustainable log cabins that, I for one, have ever seen. The reception is also hand-made and sits beside a pond, while the log cabins are spread out around the grounds, allowing their occupants to feel completely alone in the wilderness. Also drawing your attention is the breathtaking landscape, the rolling hills, the towering Munros, and the valley glens for a far as the eye can see.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;\">A break at Eagle Brae near <a href=\"https:\/\/www.explore-inverness.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Inverness<\/a> in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travellingbookjunkie.com\/?s=scotland\">Scotland<\/a> is all about returning to nature, in every aspect, and if you are after a relaxing retreat not far from Inverness itself, this is the perfect hideaway whether for a couple of nights or an entire week.<\/span><span id=\"more-15464\"\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;\">This piece of paradise in the Scottish Highlands opened in 2013.

Inside, each cabin has handcrafted wooden panels depicting Highland wildlife, Celtic knotwork and Pagan gods, kitchens have been designed and handmade to fit each cabin, while the traditional tartan soft furnishings have all been woven by hand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;\">But that\u2019s not all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;\">Each cabin at Eagle Brae has also been crafted by hand using Western Red Cedar wood, one of the most durable materials on the planet, making it perfect for environmentally-conscious builders, which was a big consideration for owners, Mike and Pawana. They wanted to create a memorable experience that was also environmentally sound \u2013 materials are renewable, energy consumption minimal, thermal efficiency is superb and the lifespan of these cabins are considerable. But it\u2019s not just the cabins themselves, the whole concept of Eagle Brae revolves around sustainability, which is why they even have their own micro, hydro turbine which generates all the electricity for the site, as well as a natural, underground spring water supply providing water to each log cabin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;\">For anyone worried about their carbon footprint, Eagle Brae has you completely covered.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15475\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travellingbookjunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSCF0477-Edit-Edit.jpg\" alt=\"Handcrafted wooden exterior and balcony seating at Eagle Brae luxury log cabin in the Scottish Highlands near Inverness showcasing detailed log construction\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travellingbookjunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSCF0477-Edit-Edit.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.travellingbookjunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSCF0477-Edit-Edit-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travellingbookjunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSCF0477-Edit-Edit-330x495.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.travellingbookjunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSCF0477-Edit-Edit-690x1035.jpg 690w, https:\/\/www.travellingbookjunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSCF0477-Edit-Edit-387x580.jpg 387w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\"\/><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva; font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>First Impressions of our Luxury Log Cabin in the Scottish Highlands<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;\">Even before you arrive, the experience starts. Check-in here is not like a hotel or any other self-catering park holiday experience. You will receive a personalised message before you arrive, confirming which log cabin you will be staying in, when your cabin will be ready and any other information that may be important during your stay. It means that you can go straight there on arrival, and your break can start even quicker.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;\">Pulling up outside, you instantly feel like you are alone in the woods. Not in a creepy, horror novel kind of way, but in a secluded, not-overlooked by other holidaymakers way. It gives a sense of freedom and isolation without being completely alone and is ideal for those looking for a complete break from society.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;\">Before even walking into the log cabin, the scenery alone makes you realise just how special this place is. Where else, so close to Inverness, would your vista consist solely of mountains and forests as far as the eye can see. However, when you do cross the threshold, it feels like you have been transported into your own little corner of Narnia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15471\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travellingbookjunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSCF0512-Edit-Edit.jpg\" alt=\"Wild deer near Eagle Brae luxury log cabins in the Scottish Highlands Scotland\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travellingbookjunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSCF0512-Edit-Edit.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.travellingbookjunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSCF0512-Edit-Edit-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travellingbookjunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSCF0512-Edit-Edit-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.travellingbookjunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSCF0512-Edit-Edit-296x197.jpg 296w, https:\/\/www.travellingbookjunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSCF0512-Edit-Edit-690x460.jpg 690w, https:\/\/www.travellingbookjunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSCF0512-Edit-Edit-1050x700.jpg 1050w, https:\/\/www.travellingbookjunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSCF0512-Edit-Edit-870x580.jpg 870w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\"\/><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;\">Inside Our Luxury Romantic Hideaway near Inverness<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;\">Whilst all log cabins are similar, we were staying in Parus which is the highest situated cabin in Eagle Brae and a 1-bed dwelling. \u00a0As soon as you walk inside, you can see the care and attention to detail that has gone into creating this wonderful place. From the location of the wood-burning stove, designed to warm the entire cabin, to the carvings around the banister and the hamper of local produce left on the kitchen table, everything has been thoroughly considered, with no corners being cut.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15484\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travellingbookjunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSCF0489-Edit-Edit.jpg\" alt=\"Cosy wooden interior of Eagle Brae luxury log cabin with log burner and handcrafted furnishings in the Scottish Highlands\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travellingbookjunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSCF0489-Edit-Edit.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.travellingbookjunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSCF0489-Edit-Edit-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travellingbookjunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSCF0489-Edit-Edit-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.travellingbookjunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSCF0489-Edit-Edit-296x197.jpg 296w, https:\/\/www.travellingbookjunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSCF0489-Edit-Edit-690x460.jpg 690w, https:\/\/www.travellingbookjunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSCF0489-Edit-Edit-1050x700.jpg 1050w, https:\/\/www.travellingbookjunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSCF0489-Edit-Edit-870x580.jpg 870w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\"\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;\">On our arrival, it was cold and wet outside, but the cabin had already been warmed by the underfloor heating making it even more inviting. The sofas have been positioned in front of the woodburning stove making the whole area feel cosy while allowing for a peek out over the striking views of the mountain tops.
