Avielochan is more than just a place to stay – it’s a true Highland experience. The cottages offer breathtaking views of the Cairngorm Mountains and a peaceful setting near Aviemore. Whether you’re here for the wildlife, the scenic trails, or a cosy getaway, we hope Avielochan will feel like a home away from home. Each cottage has been carefully renovated, with some furnishings made by Ronald himself. From the log burners to the bird feeders outside, every detail is meant to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

Our favourite part of hosting is sharing the area’s hidden gems with guests – whether it’s a peaceful walk by Loch Vaa, spotting wildlife by the loch, or even taking in the sights of passing steam trains. The changing seasons bring their own magic, from vibrant autumn colours to snowy winter days, so there’s always something new to see.

Over the years, we’ve seen Avielochan change and grow, and now we’re excited to see it through this next chapter. We still love spending time here with our collie, Bess, who’s a regular companion on walks around the loch.
