Aviemore is located in Cairngorm National Park in the heart of the Scottish Highlands. There is so much to see and do in the surrounding area that a week may not be long enough! Depending on the time of year you visit us you may want to take part in skiing or snowboarding.The area is excellent for the nature lover...whether you want to see the dolphins and seals in the nearby Moray Firth or closer to home, you can see pine marten, red grouse, ptarmigan, osprey or deer..even Scotlands reindeer herd which is only a few miles away at Glenmore. Horse-riding or quad bikes, husky sled dogs or fishing are also available nearby. Inverness is only 30 miles away if you feel the urge to shop or you can take the Whisky or Castle Trail if you want to travel further . The Shelter Stone itself takes its name from a huge rock high up in the Cairngorm mountains..well worth a climb but a map, good boots and warm jacket are well advised..there are also many low level walks suitable for all the family.

Surprise Birthday

Review Submitted: February 23, 2010 Date of Stay: January 2010
We had a fantastic weekend staying at the Shelter Stone House. The house more than exceeded our expectations, it was allot bigger than we expected and the overall presentation was fantastic. We stayed in January and the snow was the icing on the cake to top off the entire weekend. Our party (all 12 of us) managed to go skiing on the Saturday, it was no more than a 5 minute drive to the slope and the owner recommended a fantastic ski heir shop (a 2minute walk from the house) which also sold ski passes, this saved us queuing on arrival. After a long day skiing and a couple of bruised bottoms, we headed into town and sampled a few of the local bars and pubs. The atmosphere was great and it was a short walk (stumble) home, no more than 5minutes.
The house would be perfect for family breaks, birthday weekends or just a good catch up. Even if you don’t fancy the local bars, the house has a lovely living room and dining room perfect for home entertainment. I could not fault thins house and will be recommending it to all my friends. We will definitely be returning in the near future.

Owner's Response: I am so glad that you all had such a wonderful time....I was really amazed that you had managed to keep it a surprise from the birthday boy!!!
The house really lends itself to groups like this and there always seems to be plenty of space.....and for the summer the garden furniture and bbq is there too!...We can always order flowers or have wine chilled for that extra occasion.
Hope to see you soon
Dorothy

Great house for a family ot friens getaway break

Review Submitted: September 14, 2010 Date of Stay: September 2010
We booked the Shelter Stone for our nephews wedding. Our party consisted of 5 couples and our dad who is not good with stairs so he really appreciated the ground floor en-suite bedroom We were all very pleasantly surprised when we arrived at The Shelter Stone. The house has a lovely friendly feeling and although it is huge it is cosy and welcoming. We lit the fire in the Dining Room and all sat at the massive table for a meal. The atmosphere is great and perfect for a large group. We had an impromptu ceilidh in the living room round a big log fire.
The house has everything supplied that you could possibly need. There is also a lovely enclosed back garden with a patio and grass areaand alsoa table and chairs.
Dorothy popped in and said hello and asked if we had settled in. She was very friendly and not at all obtrusive Thanks Dorothy.
We do not have one single criticism it is a fabulous house. Our only regret was that it was over too quickly. We plan to have a reunion there again next year. Dont miss out on this one it is a carcker.

Owner's Response: I'm glad that the wedding went off so well and I hope I will be able to join the ceilidh next year as I heard the music was just great!!!!
The Shelter Stone enjoys a good party too!!!
Thanks again
