About this property
Stilt House @ Fernwood.eco with sauna & hot tub
Set lightly among the trees, the Stilt House is Fernwood’s most distinctive stay, an architectural retreat designed to immerse you in nature. Elevated on slender stilts above the woodland floor, its sweeping elliptical form creates a sense of calm from the moment you arrive.
Inside, forest-green pine interiors and floor-to-ceiling glazing blur the line between indoors and out. Light shifts throughout the day, revealing new views at every turn, while the curved layout invites you to slow down and take it all in.
Spend your time wandering woodland paths, or unwind beneath the canopy in your private wood-fired Swedish hot tub, tucked quietly into the landscape.
Despite its secluded setting, comfort is at the core. The king-size bed features the same premium mattress used in the The Merrion Hotel, with carefully selected furniture from local makers and Scandinavian design houses. A Bang & Olufsen speaker lets you set the tone, indoors or out.
The kitchenette includes an induction hob, combi microwave and fridge, with tea, coffee and breakfast essentials provided.
The spacious bathroom features a rain shower and a large window overlooking the woodland.
A-rated and thoughtfully designed, the Stilt House brings together comfort, design and nature in a truly unique way.
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.

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

Interesting living space that feels like it’s in it’s own world… windows directly into to wild green.
