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!! Save up to 20% booking directly on Fernwood.eco.
At end of a country road and at the beginning of the Connemara Greenway, Fernwood is a true oasis with the benefit of being 2 minutes from Clifden town.
Our organic farm is on a 140 acre private estate comprising of native woodland and bog, on the shores of the Salt Lake.
Walk out your front door to explore, in complete solitude, our 2km of woodland paths, the wonders of the Connemara bogland or relax in our newly constructed lakeside sauna house with plunge pool.
You can chose to stay in our new refurbished Bothy conversion which is finished to the highest spec with underfloor heating, wood burning stove, sheepskin rugs and feather down duvets
For the ultimate experience chose our luxury treehouse dome/tent or better again a Stilt House Suite with private wood-fired Swedish Hot Tub.

A fantastic get away, luxury camping at it's best. Word's can't describe it!
The facilities were excellent, top quality. The relaxing environment of the dome and the surrounding area. The ability to just switch off. It lashed down when we were there and it was fabulous, cosy in the dome with the log burner going. Walks around the forest were well mapped out. It was a lovey stay away to reset.

Restorative, rejuvenating, and magical.
Staying in the dome felt like I was back in east Africa. I loved waking up and starting the fire and looking out into the trees while sipping my coffee. Simon & Anne have created a truly magical oasis (especially the sauna overlooking the lake) that will have you feeling recharged and reset. They also helped me out of a ditch I drove into for which I am forever grateful!

The perfect restorative winter escape
As beautiful as the dome treehouse was inside, the view looking out was even more wonderful. Felt like you were staying in a nest. I loved the attention to detail with high quality products. We used the sauna and went for a walk which were both incredible. Have already recommend to friends, family and colleagues!

Perfect peace
Just a great place to unwind, with everything you'd need located 1km away in Clifden. The sort of place that welly has to be seen in person as pictures cannot do it justice

Wonderful, relaxing stay in a unique beautiful setting
Wonderful setting in the middle of the woods, yet so close to terrific hiking, sites, and Clifden with its delicious restaurants and interesting shopping. Fernwood has everything you will need to make your stay comfortable and feel luxurious.

My stay in the Dome at Fernwood was an absolute haven!
The Dome was so impeccably perfect--clean, cozy, comfortable and far more luxurious and well-equipped than I even expected! Communication was clear and helpful and the space itself is sublime. Every detail has been tended to--from the stacks of books, lighting, stocked kitchen, wood stove and ample fire wood and kindling, comfy bed, hot water bottles, linens and rain shower, outdoor patio--I honestly can't recommend Fernwood enough!

We will definitely be back!
The view out over the forest from the dome is amazing. Many thoughtful touches included in the accommodation e.g. a really good speaker, plenty of logs for the fire, different lighting options. Great bathroom with a huge shower.
The sauna and cold dip were also fantastic with an amazing view over the lake. The only thing we would add is more lighting around the cold dip for the winter months (we were there 5-6pm)
Overall an incredible weekend!

It was the most amazing and relaxing stay i have ever had!
The decor was gorgeous, the fire was cozy, the bed was so comfortable, the walks so nice. We loved the sauna and plunge pool and even took a swim in the lake! We had a warm welcome but were not disturbed for the weekend. I would highly recommend the stay.
