Inside, a welcoming open-plan layout includes a modern kitchen, cosy lounge/diner, two bedrooms, and a stylish shower room. Garden areas to the front and side add to its charm, while an allocated parking bay ensures easy access. Whether as a peaceful getaway or a holiday let, this idyllic lodge is a rare find in one of Scotland’s most scenic settings. Early viewing recommended!Set within a truly stunning wilderness, these cosy detached log cabin retreats enjoy a wonderfully remote feel—yet are just moments from welcoming inns, restaurants, castles, botanical gardens, waterfalls, forest trails, and secluded beaches. Jubilee Point and the shores of Loch Eck are within walking distance, perfect for loch side BBQs or fishing. Just 11 miles away, the coastal town of Dunoon offers shops, supermarkets, a cinema, leisure centre, and ferries to the islands. Off the beaten track yet highly desirable, this breathtaking forest park location offers loch and woodland walks, cycle tracks, and a rare chance to reconnect with nature. Red squirrels, deer, pine martens, buzzards—even eagles and wildcats—are regular visitors, making Whistlefield a true ‘wild side’ retreat filled with peace, quiet, and untamed beauty.
