The pictures of this cabin do not do it justice! Our 4 person family LOVED our 3 night stay, and wished we could have stayed longer. Karl is a fabulous host, the very best. The kitchen is very well stocked, even having a large quantity of spices. The bathroom is small but comfortable, and the towels are large and soft. The wood burning stove is easy to use and creates a cozy space. We really appreciated the washing machine to use after our hikes in the area.

Perfect

I only gave it 4/5 on accuracy of the listing, because it was even better than I expected from the description. Karl, a low key, but attentive host, welcomed us with quick instructions on how to use some of the appliances, etc. The furnishings, cookware, dishes, and utensils were the best I have ever seen in a rental property—6 cutting boards! We cooked breakfast and dinner all 4 days. The setting, which overlooked Loch Eil, was rural, with sheep, birds and deer; just an incredibly peaceful place. Karl and his father built the log cabin many years ago and the craftsmanship is outstanding—a great place to hangout by a fire during rainy rest days between sight seeing. We did a long day trip to Skye and a short trip to Loch Ness’s Urquhart castle. Otherwise some excursions into fort Williams for groceries. Karl was an excellent host and the place, one of the best I have ever stayed in. Highly recommend.

Lovely chalet

We absolutely found our stay extremely comfortable. Very well equipped kitchen and we had all we needed for our group of 6 with 2 kids. Karl was superb and even helped us start a woodfire. Very serene location.

Short Stay Relax!

from the very beginning on booking this chalet, the owner was immediately in touch with us giving full information on directions to the chalet and information regarding the chalet...incredibly helpful and clear and concise. It was a beautiful chalet set by the loch and was remote but also within 20 minutes of Fort William. The owner greeted us at the entrance, showed us everything. we knew he was there to help but never intrusive. Loved the three days there and absolutely would go back and recommend it to others. Will be planning for next year.

Wonderful log cabin with spectacular view

Log cabin is much more than what you see in pictures. Up on arrival it took our breath away. Log cabin it self was spotless cleaned to perfection. Karl met us on arrival and showed us everything in detail. There was no problem for carl to sort any problems that arise. There is planty garden for activities not far away from all main attractions. Who ever wondering if this place is worth staying i say go for it its wonderful log cabin with amazing host. Im so glad i stayed here and sure will come back in future. Thanks to karl

Lovely scenery and place to stay

Karl was very helpful upon arrival showing us how everything worked and made sure we were comfortable. The only tiny thing was finding the Chalet as google maps pin was set to the field over so just drive another 50 yards after Google tells you have arrived but even then the local neighbours were lovely helping us find it and it was a beautiful area and thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!!

Idyllic Chalet

Karl is an excellent host, The fire was burning and the chalet was warm and welcoming when we arrived. We really enjoyed the home made shortbread and jam. Clean and comfortable with everything you needed for a home away from home. The location is brilliant, perfect for exploring the area, while waking up to views of Loch Eil to the front, and Ben Nevis peeping through to the back. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Dream cabin in a beautiful location

We absolutely adored our stay, it's a truly beautiful cabin with everything you need on hand. It's all about the cozy feel indoors and is deceptively spacious. You cannot dispute the views, even the weather was behaving! We can't wait to book again and the only thing we'd do differently is to stay longer. Thank you Karl for being a great host.

Highly Recommend this Highland Dream

My husband and I had a wonderful time. It was our first trip to Scotland. After being in several cities this Chalet was a relaxing place. The host is very knowledgeable and keeps the place in great shape, clean with everything you need to have a comfortable stay. If you are looking for a place to relax and get away from the busy tourist attractions this Chalet is the perfect location. It is a fantastic hub for day trips to Mallaig and Glencoe.

Comfortable and peaceful

This was a great spot for two couples who are interested in a base for exploring the hills and lochs around Fort William that is off the usual tourist path. We especially liked grilling our own dinners on the outdoor grill.

Home Away From Home

We had a great time staying at the chalet. It was clean, cozy, and supplied with many kitchen items that we found handy for meal prep. There was also a washing machine which was great for us. The location is far enough away from the crowds so you can feel relaxed and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature around you. Yet, you’re about 30 minutes from Fort William so it’s super convenient for day trips and to get supplies. Karl was super easy to work with he explained how to use the various items around the cabin. We can’t express more how much we enjoyed our stay here. It was fantastic and our favorite home away from home on our journeys through Scotland.

Great place to get away from city life. Isolated from everyone. With great views of loch and railway line. Plenty of space to not be on top of each other in family if you want some me time. Quiet.

The perfect hideaway

Chalet Rus is an amazing place to stay. The setting is beautiful, the chalet has everything you could need and the host is really friendly and helpful. A perfect place to just relax on the veranda with a glass of wine and a book whilst admiring the views.

Karl was a great host. The cabin is absolutely beautiful and our family loved it. There was a great tree swing for the kids and lovely views out to the Loch. It’s only around 30 or so mins to Fort William. We would love to come back!

Fabulous lodge overlooking loch and mountains

The surroundings and views are magnificent and certainly live up to the description. The lodge is very conveniently situated, being about 30 minutes drive from Fort William and Ben Nevis and about an hour from Mallaig. It is well appointed and very cosy with a great log burner for the cool evenings. The wraparound deck is great for catching the sun and views from all angles. We were particularly impressed with the covid measures in place and overall cleanliness, making us feel very safe. Many thanks to our host Karl for making us welcome and looking after us. Would highly recommend this property.
