Built of granite rubble with pinnings on the south elevation, with deep eaves and projecting rafters. The central door is flanked by windows with gables breaking the eaves with rustic red twig inlay. Originally 12-pane sash and case windows these are now boarded up (2005). The roof has replacement larch shingles. Thought to gave been constructed for use as a picnic lodge/summer house. A watching brief was maintained by SUAT in 2002 during the excavation of a series of engineering test pits around the perimeter of the lodge. No features of archaeological interest were identified during the watching brief. Site visit was carried out by Cameron Archaeology in June/July 2015 to assess damage on the Mar Lodge estate resulting from flooding in the wake of storm Bertha. The lodge is at a safe elevation and did not suffer damage.
