This house was wonderful and so was Noelle! Highly recommend. We were a three generation family visiting Killarney. Super clean, comfortable, and perfect for our trip.
Host communicated very well. We had a wonderful time. The house is clean and conveniently located. Easy to call a taxi to town to avoid fighting for parking and also having the freedom to enjoy some drinks and not worry about driving. I highly recommend this house if you are planning to stay near Killarney.
House was perfect for a group of 10. Great communication with Noelle. Living area was fantastic and the children loved looking out at the cows in the field. Great location and proximity to town center and grocery stores.
We had a lovely stay at Knockcarrig House. Noelle was a great host and very helpful. The location was perfect to easily pop into Killarney Centre or take in the various highlights of the southwest of Ireland. We were a group of 8 and this provided plenty of room to spread out and be comfortable for the week. Very highly recommended.
Our stay here was beyond what we expected. The home is perfect for a more intimate family experience. We enjoyed the beautiful sunrise on the patio in the mornings, dining together and game nights. Noelle went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Highly recommend.
My family and I had an amazing stay at Noelle's place! The house is beautiful, clean, and so charming. We had everything we needed and we loved seeing the cows in the yard each day (my daughter named them Milky and Mooey ). The location was also perfect as it was just a short drive into Killarney town center, the national park, and other site-seeing locations. Noelle was a wonderful host, very responsive and caring about our stay, showed me everything in the house upon check in, and even left us a very thoughtful gift basket of food that we enjoyed. I would absolutely stay here again if I find myself lucky enough to go back to Killarney!
We had 6 adults stay in Noelle's home for 3 nights. Noelle met us when we arrived and showed us around the home, which is spacious, clean, modern, and charming. The home had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable, and even some perks we did not expect. The home is conveniently located to Killarney's sights and we had no problem driving out for local day trips. It's in a quiet, relaxing, serene location. I'm happy to recommend this property to anyone - adults, families with kids, etc. We all would gladly come back again.
This was the second time we stayed at this property. Th owner is super friendly and welcoming. We all absolutely love everything about the house. The house size, the coziness, the cleanliness we all perfect. If we get back to Ireland we would stay for a third time. The best place for a family.
The 7 of us enjoyed our stay with Noelle and her home exceeded our every expectation! It was homey yet incredibly spacious, lots of room to gather together or to find a quiet spot. I’ve never stayed in a VRBO that was so well stocked! Your every need was anticipated! We enjoyed cooking meals together. The chest full of unopened pantry staples left for us was immediately appreciated! Everything from fine Butlers Chocolates to Irish butter to milk and eggs and Irish Brown bread to coffee and tea! Wow! My favorite STR by far and the hospitality was genuine! Thank you, thank you! We are truly grateful! The Whalen Family
Best VRBO we've stayed in by far. The welcome was wonderful. The view was amazing. The proximity to town was incredible. The cows were charming. Every necessity was in hand. We loved everything. We hated to leave.
Our family of 8 had a very comfortable stay! We really enjoyed the cleanliness, how toddler friendly the house was, and its location. Our host was so friendly and accommodating! We would love to stay here again if we come back to Ireland. Thanks so much!
The house was perfect for our family of five adults. Loved the location (and the cows out in the pasture). Wished we had more time to spend enjoying the house. Noelle was a great host - very responsive. Would definitely stay here again!
Loved our stay here! Beautiful home. Warm greeting from Noelle. The welcome basket was a very nice touch! Highly recommend staying at this gorgeous property!
Noelle was a fantastic host, with great communication, availability, and input. This property is stunning, with lots of room, beautiful scenery, and very easy access to town. One of the best places my family has ever stayed.

We had a wonderful time. The house was beautiful and as advertised. Noelle was an attentive and wonderful host. Very easy to communicate with and very helpful throughout our stay. Would definitely stay again.
Amazing host! Beautiful and well appointed home in a beautiful, peaceful location. Take a cab into town and experience the pubs. Honestly one of the nicest homes we have ever had the pleasure to stay in. Thank you for help with a memorable trip!

Why they chose this property
Welcome to Knockcarrig House, Killarney, Ireland!
Here we offer a little bit of Irish country living in Killarney to holidaymakers. We built Knockcarrig on the edge of our private 20 acre cattle farm which is less than a 10 minute drive to the town centre of Killarney. 'Knockcarrig' comes from the Irish language which means hill of the stones. As farmers who feel an incredible link to the land, it was only fitting to call our house after the farm land on which it is found.
If you were to literally start digging in the fields, you would find plenty of stones in the earth! Traditionally these stones were then used to build walls to divide the fields of the farm. And as for the hill part- well if you were to walk from one end of the farm to the other, you would find yourself climbing a little hill which gives you a panoramic view of the magnificent McGillicuddy Reek mountains!
