This detached one-bedroom log cabin sits deep within Killykeen Forest Park on the shores of Lough Oughter in County Cavan, surrounded by native woodland, stretches of open water, and an abundance of wildlife. Well suited to couples looking for a peaceful retreat in nature, the cabin offers a genuine sense of seclusion at the heart of Ireland's lake district. The forest park provides a network of trails for walking and cycling, with the lake offering fishing, kayaking, and boat trips to the uninhabited Inch Island. The historic Clogh Oughter Castle can be reached by boat across the lake, and the ruins of Drumlane Monastery overlook Lough Derrybrick. A scenic cycling route loops for 30 miles through Belturbet, Miltown, and Killeshandra, offering a full day of exploration through the countryside of County Cavan.
The open-plan living space combines a comfortable sitting area with a fitted kitchen, creating a sociable heart to the cabin. A wood burner sits at the centre of the room alongside a Smart TV, offering a cosy spot to settle in for the evening. Natural light filters through the windows from the surrounding woodland, while atmospheric lighting creates a warm, intimate feel after dark. The kitchen is well equipped for preparing meals, with complimentary tea and coffee too. From the living space, a door leads through to the bedroom, where a generous super-king bed takes centre stage with a freestanding roll-top bath positioned alongside it. This distinctive pairing of sleeping and bathing space makes the room feel both indulgent and deeply restful. A separate shower room with WC completes the cabin's accommodation. Books, games, and treats are dotted throughout, adding character and small comforts to every corner of this woodland retreat.
A private terrace and BBQ area sit outside the cabin, offering a spot for al fresco dining among the trees. With no enclosure, the space opens directly into the surrounding forest. Across the wider development, guests share access to bicycle hire, kayaking, paddleboarding, boat trips, fishing from the on-site jetty, and forest trails. A covered outdoor seating area with a fire, a licensed bar, and an on-site shop are also available. The on-site spa, shared with other guests, includes hot tubs, a Japanese bath, a sauna, and therapist-led treatments. Complimentary parking is available on-site.
