This one-bedroom cabin is set deep within Killykeen Forest Park in County Cavan, on the wooded shores of Lough Oughter in the heart of Ireland's Lakeland. Made for couples and solo travellers planning an escape to nature, the peaceful setting offers forest walks, kayaking, fishing and paddleboarding from the site's private jetty. The surrounding area is a designated Special Protection Area and Special Area of Conservation, with mature woodland that supports red squirrels, pine martens, badgers, otters and over 47 recorded species of bird. From the water, boat trips reach the historic Cloughoughter Castle (2.5 miles), surrounded by the ever-changing waterways of Lough Oughter. Further afield, the ruins of Drumlane Abbey and Round Tower (10.5 miles) overlook Lough Derrybrick, and a scenic 30-mile cycling loop winds through the villages of Belturbet, Miltown and Killeshandra across the open countryside of County Cavan.
Before stepping into this welcoming cabin, take a moment to appreciate its characterful design, with wood cladding and contemporary windows that fill the interior with light and frame tranquil forest views. Head inside and be greeted by a cosy open-plan lounge/diner, where floor-to-ceiling windows reveal your natural surroundings. Gather in the lounge, sink into the soft seating, flick through the Smart TV and bask in the glow of the wood burner during the chillier months. The stylish dining space flows through to the kitchen, which features everything needed for a self-catered stay. Accessed through the lounge/diner, the super-king-size bedroom offers woodland views to wake up to each morning. A stylish shower room completes the interior.
Head outside as often as possible and make full use of your private terrace. Enjoying the sights and sounds of local wildlife, this tranquil spot is perfect for quiet morning coffees and al fresco evening meals in the BBQ area. Beyond your private space awaits a fantastic choice of shared on-site facilities, including equipment hire for cycling, boating (tours are available), fishing, paddleboarding and kayaking. For some woodland wellness, leisure facilities (at an additional cost) include hot tubs, a sauna, spa treatments and a Japanese bath and sauna. You can also benefit from the on-site shop, fully licensed bar and shared outdoor BBQ area. Ample on-site parking completes the offering.
