The Lazy Duck offers off-grid huts, a small bunkhouse and a forest cottage tucked deep in Abernethy Forest, within the Cairngorms National Park near Aviemore in the Scottish Highlands. On site you'll find a newly built pond-side sauna, a wellbeing hut for massages and quiet reflection, and a co-working space if you need to get some work done. Days can be spent on forest walks, wildlife watching, or paddling nearby lochs, before returning to a wood-burning stove in the evening. The operator highlights the gentle pace of off-grid living, with options ranging from fully remote huts to the more conventional Travellers' Cottage. Aviemore itself, along with Grantown Museum and Landmark Forest Adventure Park, make good days out from this peaceful Highland base.
