Welcome to Bracken Lodge
Your forest escape on the shores of Loch Awe.
Set in Dalavich Forest Park, Bracken Lodge is a warm and inviting two-bedroom timber cabin designed for slowing down, recharging, and reconnecting. Spend quiet mornings looking out to the trees, head out for a woodland walk to the loch, or settle in for a cosy evening by the fire after a day outdoors.
Bracken Lodge is ideal for well-being breaks, family getaways, and dog-friendly stays. Whether you are planning a weekend reset or a longer escape, it offers a comfortable base with the calm of the forest right outside your door.

No smoking inside the cabin.
Please respect the peace of the forest community.
Dogs are not allowed on beds or sofas.

Neighbourhood
Dalavich is a peaceful forest village on Loch Awe, surrounded by walking and biking trails, wildlife, and beautiful lochside scenery. The cabin sits beside ancient oak woodland among other cabins, with a community pub and a small café and shop within walking distance. Taynuilt, Kilchrenan, and Oban are all within driving distance for dining, shopping, and exploring more of Argyll.
