The incredible, architecturally designed Stilt House opened in August 2022 and is our most ambitious project to date. Perched on 57 stilts above the woodland floor with a unique elliptical excision, we are so excited to share this project with our new guests. Internally clad in a pine plywood finish, stained in forest green and with floor to ceiling windows, you have a sense of being wholly enveloped by the surrounding woodland. The experience within the space is a calming journey of moving from dimly lit to wide open vistas. The elliptical curve invites you to discover what awaits around the corner. Each window with a different aspect, inviting light into the space at different times of the day. A stay in the Stilt House will soothe the senses of your soul and bring you back to nature. Oh, there's a wood fired Swedish hot tub hidden in the woods, just for your own use! Being completely isolated in the woods, need not come without the simple luxuries that we offer at all of our Fernwood stays. At 45 square metres, it feels even bigger, and would rival a honeymoon suite in size and experience. The Stilt House has the same mattress as those used in the Merrion Hotel Dublin whilst furniture has either been locally handmade or sourced from design houses in Scandinavia. There is a Bang and Olufsen portable speaker, which can be brought outside whilst you relax under the birch canopy in the wood-fired hot tub. The fully equipped kitchenette comes with a microwave oven combi, an induction hob and fridge with freezer compartment. As always, there is tea & coffee along with other breakfast items to get you started. The bathroom is huge, with a fabulous rain shower and awesome window overlooking the native Irish woodland. In keeping with our minimal impact ethos at Fernwood, the building is A-rated and features triple glazed windows and an air to water heat pump.

Have you ever dreamt of sleeping amongst the trees, waking up to the dawn chorus and heading off for a sauna or simply want to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. The treehouse dome might just be the job for you. Here at Fernwood, we are super excited about our heated Treehouse - open 365 days a year. Our Geodesic dome, sitting within the canopy and 5 metres off the woodland floor, is completely self contained. Featuring a 5-star hotel standard superking bed, woodburning stove, large rain shower with piping hot water, a fully functioning kitchenette and a large outdoor deck. This dome is the bomb and we actually want to move into it ourselves!!

This is contemporary architecture and interior design at its best. The Studio remains a favourite of our regular guests who still can't believe what you can fit into a 35m2 space! Underfloor heating, polished concrete throughout and many hidden design features in the birch plywood walls, make this a unique and fun space. Every little detail is considered. There’s a private garden to enjoy your morning coffee or your evening sundowners and a Bang and Olufsen portable speaker to provide the tunes! We've got lakeside sauna house with plunge pool for our guests' use and enchanting woodland paths throughout our 150 acre farm. Wintertime is just as special as the summer in Fernwood. Draw the blinds, grab a good book and cosy up beside the wood burning stove. (Or stay in the bed and binge on your favourite Netflix series!)

Directions

Road from Clifden (1.5 km)Please click on this Google Maps Link. Make sure change the starting point to 'your location' and it should reroute you correctly to us. Our Eircode is H71 XY80, however, if you use this from your starting point, it will send you down a private cycle path with a locked gate and you will have to turn around!! Alternatively you can put the Eircode to Google Maps once you are in Clifden town; it will then guide you the most direct route to the house.
