About this property

Chalet Rus. Luxury log cabin with all your creature comforts.

Nestled adjacent to Chalet Blaich.

Chalet Rus is the second traditionally built log cabin to 10 Blaich, so now larger party s are welcome to book two cabins!

Situated above the Lochside 18 miles from Fort William, the Outdoor Capital of the U.K. Ideally placed for touring the West Highlands, walking, climbing, ski-ing, horse riding, fishing, canal and loch cruises, and many more outdoor activities. Or, if you want to get away from it all simply chill out and relax in the comfort of the cabin and enjoy the abundant wildlife. Perfect for those romantic getaways! There is an open connected decking area round three sides of the cabin from which to enjoy relaxing evenings watching the sunsets.

Local attractions include Ben Nevis, Neptunes staircase (the start of the Caledonian Canal), Glenfinnan viaduct, Jacobite Steam Train (better known now as Hogwarts Express from the Harry Potter movies), Glen Coe with its stunning scenery and many famous Munro s, Loch Ness and Nevis Distillery. The road to the Isles is on the opposite side of Loch Eil and is a beautiful scenic route to Mallaig from where you can sail to Skye and the Western Isles. You will pass the renowned White Sands of Morar- one of the best beaches on the West Coast and well worth a visit. Ardnamurchan Peninsula is not to be missed with its abundant wildlife, crystal clear waters and outstanding beauty, terminating at the Lighthouse which is the most westerly point on the U.K. mainland.

ACCOMMODATION

The Cabin sleeps 6 people, comprising of one extra large double bedroom with French doors leading on to the decking with the addition of a discrete single bunk and sofa bed to convert to a family room. The second bedroom is a cosy double bedroom, both bedrooms have very large built in wardrobes to store your cases and clothing. Bathroom with bath, shower, WC, and basin, heated towel rail and electric shaving point. Well equipped modern kitchen with induction hob, fan assisted oven, sink, microwave, washing machine/dryer, dishwasher, fridge/freezer. The kitchen leads through to the open plan dining area and comfortable lounge, which has TV/DVD with Free View channels (plus radio channels), music system including ipod dock, luxury leather suite and open views to the Loch at the front and surrounding hills and woodland from all the windows. Heating is provided by electric wall panels throughout but for those romantic chilly winter evenings there is a very efficient wood burning stove. The area surrounding the cabin is enclosed by fencing with parking area within. Free Wi-Fi is also included.

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.

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.

Cabin stay

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.

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.

Heaven

We had the best time My husband and I with our 2 kids, 10 & 6 plus our friend with her 10 year old, visited for the fort William mountain bike championships. The cabin was the ultimate welcome home after being rained on all day. Beautiful views, amazing surroundings, deer/stags, woodpeckers, herons, buzzards and sheep were our natural neighbours and the lodge was so fantastically equipped that we literally couldn't have asked for more. Karl was on hand for any and all requests and made us feel so incredibly welcome that we will certainly be back for more
