Description
The Ranch is a superb holiday property set in a stunning countryside in picturesque Glen Massan within the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. Only six miles from Dunoon this two level semi-detached house is the perfect home-from-home for families and friends to experience and explore this spectacular region. Featuring four double bedrooms, spacious entertaining areas and a very inviting hot tub.
Furnished to a high standard the interior is a mix of modern and country charm. Warm and welcoming the ground level features a large entertaining/living room complete with a wood burning fire, 60 inch TV screen, surround sounds and access to the decking area.
The Ranch offers four superior double bedrooms. The three bedrooms on the upper level include the Master Bedroom with it's own en-suite, spa bath and separate rain shower. The two double bedrooms have a share bathroom with bath and separate shower. There is one double bedroom on the ground floor with a shared family bathroom.
The well equipped kitchen and dining is a wonderful space for cooking up a feast for dinner parties featuring a large oak dining table and cosy wood burning stove for chilly nights in. On summer days open the bifold doors and let the sunshine in.
Outdoors the three level deck overlooks the garden and hot tub area. The perfect atmosphere from enjoying alfresco breakfasts, sunny afternoon drinks or family BBQs.
The Ranch also offers BBQ facilities and a spacious rear garden and grassed area that leads to the banks of the Glen Massan river only 50 metres away. Note this river is unfenced.
Glen Massan is a wonderful base to explore this stunning region, experience mountain views from your doorstep, nearby walks or in summer explore the shallow waters and rock pools for swimming along the river. The famous Benmore Botanic Gardens are also within walking distance.
Well behaved dogs are very welcome but rules apply. Maximum two - fees apply.

“Fantastic weekend”
Just returned from a weekend stay at the ranch and it was brilliant! The house has everything you need, there are nice walks nearby, or if you want to stay in you can take advantage of the hut tub out back. I cooked dinner both nights for 8 people with absolutely no hassle, the kitchen is fully equipped. Would definitely recommend and would love to return
