Stay in the Homestead
A cabin with a crofting heartbeat at the centre of the Lazy Duck. Come and stay in our home from home in the Cairngorms National Park.
Take in the long meadow view from the cabin’s verandah. Forest bathe in your hammock as deer peep through the woods and red squirrels dart to and fro. Flowers, berries and other seasonal produce come from the smallholding beside the hut - pop your head in and see what Lucka is up to.
When the sun goes down, cook, eat, drink and chat until the stars come out.
We loved every minute from poetry and the forest view in the loo, to feeding the chickens, outdoor showers, stargazing, board games and the comfiest bed ever. It was the best way to celebrate a birthday and the end of a PHD. We will be back soon.”

No pets, sorry
Self-catering; groceries from Nethy Store, The Dell Grocer, Balliefurth Farm Shop and the Co-Op.
Now that the Scottish grid is overwhelmingly renewable, background heat comes from green and smoke-free storage heaters. There’s nothing quite like a wood stove though, so we provide firewood too.
We recommend packing a head torch, sturdy footwear and easily carried luggage is advised.
FIND YOUR OWN ADVENTURE
This is your place. Find your hut and explore.
The Lazy Duck is not ‘hosted’ like a hotel is, it’s different. Roger and his family may be around, or we may be away. If this is your first time here, we’ve made it easy to find your feet and you’ll receive a self check-in video before you arrive.
PAYMENT & CANCELLATION
A 50% deposit secures your stay, with the balance due one month before your arrival.
If your plans have to change, please let us know as soon as you can. We can only refund payment if we are able to re-let your booking, but we will do our best to promote it on our website and on the socials.
Travel insurance is a good idea too.
