Rodono House è stata costruita nel 1866 come capanno da caccia ed è costruita in pietra mista con pietre angolari in arenaria sotto tetti a falde in ardesia scozzese. Le stanze principali sono disposte in modo da affacciarsi sul lago e c’è una deliziosa terrazza a sud della casa. È una casa di eccezionale qualità ed eleganza.
La casa offre sistemazioni eccezionali. Le doppie porte anteriori conducono in una grande sala di ricevimento con caminetto e guardaroba spento. Una sala interna con una magnifica scalinata dà accesso al salotto e alla sala da pranzo, collegati da una piccola galleria ed entrambi offrono una vista eccezionale a sud sul Loch. Fuori dal corridoio centrale si trova la cucina e poi il ripostiglio da cui si trovano lo studio, il ripostiglio con porta posteriore e la porta interna del garage. Un accesso separato al coperto è adiacente alla cucina. C’è un seminterrato che ospita la cantina, il deposito di carbone e legna, l’officina e infine il locale caldaia.

All’esterno Rodono House è immersa in circa 6 acri di giardini e terreni che includono una facciata su St Mary’s Loch. C’è una terrazza davanti alla casa e verso sud. Dietro la casa c’è un parcheggio in ghiaia che è raggiungibile da un vialetto asfaltato dalla strada principale. Ci sono due capannoni, uno per i tronchi e l’altro per i macchinari. Un’area al di sotto della A708 è anch’essa di proprietà di Rodono House: qui gli attuali proprietari hanno costruito un molo a forma di T che conduce a St Mary’s Loch. La proprietà di quest’area conferisce a Rodono House il diritto rivierasco di pescare trote e navigare sul St Mary’s Loch.
