Welcome to Strix

Welcome to Strix, one of Eagle Brae’s most enchanting log cabins for couples. This romantic Scottish log cabin offers you the perfect blend of secluded luxury and raw natural beauty. And while it sits in a central location, you’ll enjoy a private sanctuary of absolute quietude. Consequently, you can truly relax and disconnect from the world here, and Stricks is an ideal choice for those seeking a romantic Scottish log cabin in the heart of the Highlands.

The unique orientation of the cabin also allows you to feel tucked away while remaining near the resort’s heart. Because crucially, it’s the only cabin on the grounds boasting a dual vista. So, you’ll look down the majestic Strathglass glen and back across the tranquil duck pond. And all in all, this intimate escape is where rugged Highland landscapes meet hand-crafted elegance to deliver a unique romantic Scottish log cabin.

The name Strix comes from the Latin for the tawny owl, a resident that thrives in our ancient birch woodlands. As such, as night falls, you’ll often hear their calls from your private deck. Because the cabin overlooks the lower meadow, nature feels remarkably close to your doorstep. You might even see wild deer graze right up to your timber walls, because Strix offers a wildlife experience that few cabins can match.

Strix Log Cabin Features and Sophisticated Design

Strix sleeps two people in a layout designed for sophistication and space. It features a generous master bedroom that we can configure as either a double or a twin. Additionally, this room includes a high-specification ensuite bathroom for your ultimate comfort. Such a premium setup makes it perfect for a honeymoon in Scotland, because you deserve this level of luxury on your special break.

The ground floor of Strix serves as your social heart, encompassing a sitting area, bespoke kitchen, and dining corner. Because every log is hand-carved, the interior glows with the natural warmth of western red cedar. This creates a cocoon-like environment for your romantic Scottish log cabin break. You’ll love the artisanal feel of the wood and the Himalayan-woven rugs. All in all, it’s a masterclass in log cabin design and comfort.

The additional upstairs mezzanine truly sets Strix apart from other Highland retreats. This elevated space provides you with a second sitting room and a dedicated office nook. It offers a quiet corner to write, read, or plan your next Highland adventure. Outside, your large wooden deck features a picnic table positioned for the best views down the glen. These features ensure your stay is as functional as it is beautiful.

Hand-crafted Highland Comfort and Sustainable Luxury

Strix is a proud part of our world-renowned collection of hand-crafted log cabins. Every log was sourced from British Columbia and shaped by the master craftsmen at Pioneer Log Homes. And after being shipped across the Atlantic, we reassembled it here like an intricate puzzle. This bespoke process ensures deep, textured grains that no machine could ever replicate. And you really should experience this tactile luxury for yourself.

Inside, you’ll enjoy a seamless blend of Scottish heritage and Himalayan influence. Complicated wood panels and soft furnishings create an atmosphere that feels both grand and personal. And unlike standard holiday lodges, Strix feels like a lived-in home with a genuine soul. Moreover, the scent of the cedar logs provides natural aromatherapy that relaxes you instantly. This gives you an unforgettable backdrop to any romantic Scottish log cabin escape in the Northern Highlands.

The cabin design also prioritises sustainability without compromising on quality. We use massive logs for natural insulation, ensuring you stay cool in summer and cosy in winter. This eco-friendly approach is central to the Eagle Brae philosophy. Furthermore, the biomass heating system provides carbon-neutral warmth throughout your stay. So, enjoying hand-crafted Highland comfort has never felt so responsible or luxurious.

Dog-Friendly Accommodation in Scotland

Your romantic getaway shouldn’t have to exclude your best friend, and Strix is a prime example of high-end pet-friendly accommodation. So, dogs are very welcome here, and they’ll love the variety of dog-friendly activities available right from your doorstep. You both can explore miles of forest tracks and hills without ever needing to use your car. And your dog will truly love the freedom of the local area.

Crucial to our ethos is that pet-friendly accommodation doesn’t mean you have to compromise on luxury. That’s why in Strix, you get a hand-crafted environment that warmly welcomes four-legged guests. The deck is elevated and secure, too, providing a safe place for your pet to enjoy the Highland scents. So, if you need a large log cabin Scotland experience that caters to your dog, Strix is an exceptional choice, and the ultimate romantic Scottish log cabin for pet owners.

The under-floor heating is a particular favourite for dogs after a long, cold walk in the woods. Furthermore, the rugged floors are designed to handle the reality of happy, muddy paws. You can relax knowing your pet is as welcome as you are. Because all in all, we take great pride in being a top-tier dog-friendly destination in the Highlands.

Everything Included for Your Indulgent Stay

Strix provides everything you need for a seamless and indulgent Highland stay. A powerful log-burning stove acts as the focal point, while under-floor heating ensures you stay warm. And to keep you connected, free Wi-Fi is available throughout the entire cabin. Your kitchen is also equipped to a professional standard with an oven, dishwasher, and washer-dryer. Why? Because we aim to make your self-catering experience entirely stress-free.

We also stock your cabin with all the necessary consumables to get you started. This includes firelighters, kindling, and a plentiful supply of logs for those cosy evenings. Next, in the bathroom, you’ll find premium soap, shampoo, and shower gel. Then, the kitchen features olive oil, salt, pepper, and artisan coffee for your convenience. You even get wild bird feed for your bird table. All of this attention to detail defines our romantic Scottish log cabin experience.

And for your entertainment, Strix features a smart TV, Blu-ray player, and Bluetooth stereo. You’ll also find a PC and printer on the mezzanine for your personal use, and high-quality linen, fluffy towels, and a welcome hamper filled with Highland treats.
