The details

Nestled on the peaceful banks of the River Nethy, Riverside Lodge is a striking, architect-designed retreat that perfectly blends modern luxury with the wild beauty of the Cairngorms. Elevated to capture sweeping views of the river and surrounding pine forests, this is a place where nature takes centre stage, whether you’re gathered around the fire pit at dusk or watching the light dance across the water from the comfort of the living room.

Inside, the lodge is all about space, light and effortless style. The vast open-plan living area forms the heart of the home, with a dramatic double-height ceiling and an impressive seven-metre window wall that floods the space with natural light. Sliding doors open out onto the patio, making alfresco dining and summer barbecues a joy. The kitchen is beautifully finished with granite worktops and a generous range oven, while the large oak dining table invites long, sociable meals. At the far end, plush sofas are arranged around a cosy wood burning stove, creating the perfect spot to unwind after a day outdoors.

The lodge sleeps up to six guests across three thoughtfully designed bedrooms, all south-facing and featuring sliding patio doors that lead directly to the garden. The main bedroom offers a king size bed, an ensuite shower room and its own TV, while the additional king and twin rooms share a stylish family bathroom complete with a rain shower and skylight. Throughout the property, underfloor heating and real wood floors add a layer of comfort that makes every season a pleasure.

Outside, the garden gently slopes down to the riverbank, where you’ll find a charming fire pit with seating – ideal for stargazing or storytelling into the evening. There’s also plenty of space for children and pets to roam safely, making this a fantastic choice for families.

Set in the charming village of Nethy Bridge, you’re perfectly placed to explore the very best of the Cairngorms National Park. From scenic forest walks and wildlife spotting to skiing, rafting and cycling adventures, there’s something here for everyone. Nearby Aviemore and Grantown offer even more to discover, along with cosy cafés and local delights.
