Some wildlife to share as spring is beginning! These are my Dads words (Doug) as he is far better at spotting wildlife than me.

All I want for Christmas is a cosy getaway ❄️

The need to hibernate feels very natural this time of year. Come hibernate with us this season in your own cabin with private woodland to enjoy.

Wood fired sauna 🔥🔥

In 2025 saunas seem to be everywhere in Scotland and for good reason. The highlands seemed a perfect setting to relax after a day exploring and experience an outdoor rainfall shower with a view 🚿🌄

The outdoor shower seemed nostalgic of camp showers we’d hang on trees my siblings and I were kids. This tree was old and dying anyway and my dad found a perfect excuse to create a rainfall shower from it.

Construction started of this in Spring 2023 and only took 3 days with some hard work from Clare, Gregor, Lorna and Doug.

🇫🇮In traditional Finnish culture, a sauna experience is typically broken into cycles (10-30 mins) of heating up (sauna) and cooling down (cold shower and rest to bring down your core temperature). 🇫🇮

Key benefits of this include:

💚Stress reduction
💚Improvement on your cardiovascular health
💚 Accelerated muscle and joint relief (especially good after a day on the hills 🏞️)

This sauna can get up to 100°C, with the option to add as much water as preferred onto the stones if you prefer a more humid heat. The kiln dried wood is super easy to light and keeps heat for a long time.

But my favourite feature by far is the immersive sound of the wood crackling and the aroma of burning wood, as you ease into the heat 🧘🏻‍♀️

Welcome to Little Getaway! I’m Lisa, 27 years old and recently moved to Little Garve in the Scottish Highlands following the sudden and tragic death of my lovely Mum in September this year.
Since June, my parents have opened their cabin up to guests to showcase the gorgeous scenery of the highlands with added luxuries like a wood fired sauna to stave off the *sometimes* chilly nights.
This was a 2 year project and an inevitable dream of my parents after many years of building cabins up in Caithness and endless projects around woodwork and horticulture that I remember fondly growing up. My mums eye for detail and creative streak matched my Dads aptitude for building things and problem solving. A true dream team that sadly lost its key player. Though I can never replicate the extensive level of care and passion Mum brought to this project, together with my Dad we are opening the place back up to ensure her efforts are not wasted. I hope that you can follow along for the journey, stay for a night or two, or become inspired to kickstart your own project.

🛠️BEHIND THE BUILD!! 🛠️

Little Getaway build was an absolutely labour of love. 🧡

I am so lucky to have grown up with parents who made being outside second nature. My childhood was spent in the countryside playing in the woods out back, building dens and wandering across fields with the neighbours and my siblings. Later we helped with building decking, polytunnels for my Mums plant business, Flourish, and log cabins.

Though my siblings and I have long since lived city lives all over the world, coming together as a family to work on something tangible, mucky and always always to do with trees, feels like coming home in a realest way.

Tony and Liz have been an incredible help throughout this project so a huge thank you to them 🧡

All of the blood, sweat and tears was TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!
