About this property

Treehouse Dome @ Fernwood.eco with private sauna

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.

Magical
The Dome is just a wonderful space, great design and so cosy with the fire blazing day and night. We particularly appreciate the generosity of the logs, the wonderful collection of books and magazines and the view and birdsong.

Absolutely, STUNNIN’!
The Dome felt absolutely magical, and was the epitome of cozy! We adored having a wood stove to create the warm inviting atmosphere, and being able to look out at the forest as the sun was rising. Everything about the location felt elevated and also practical. I wish I had booked more time there.

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.

Just magical
I highly recommend! It was one of the best places I've ever stayed it and it was exactly what we needed to escape and recharge. Such beautiful grounds, the dome tree had everything we needed and the sauna was incredible!

Restoring & Relaxing
We stayed in the treehouse dome and had the most gorgeous time. Fernwood's attention to detail is incredible, from the sauna and cold plunge to the wood burning stove and interiors of the dome, everything has been built with such care and love. I haven't felt so relaxed and calm in a space in a very long and the surrounding area, lake, climbing tree and walking paths will restore you with its tranquility and beautiful scenery.

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.

Truly peaceful
I think we loved every aspect of our stay at Fernwood Dome! Even down to the lighting on the pathways in the dark. The dome was super clean and comfortable. We had the stove on most of the time we were there. We cooked breakfast and stayed snuggled up while the rain hit on Saturday. The sauna and cold plunge pools were such a lovely addition to our stay. We didn't even mind not having any blinds on the windows - Waking up within the trees was so peaceful. Wonderful location as well!

A unique forest immersion, but with all the luxuries one has become accustomed to
Although the weather was atrocious, we felt snug and safe in our dome, even when a storm hit us in the middle of the night. We loved keeping the stove going, with free firewood! Anne was generous lending us a pair of bikes which we took out on the Greenway, and we treated ourselves to a forest sauna, including plunge pool. The bed is absolutely as advertised: five star! All in all, it was a very memorable two nights.

It felt like an organic magical retreat.
Everything. The booking in was so simple. The first impressions on arrival to the resort was 'stunnibg'. The short drive through the woodlands to the pod. Seeing it embedded at a distance amongst the trees.The short walk through the wood to the pod. The wow factor on entering thd pod. The pod was amaizing. On to the sauna and plunge pool, absolutely a fabulous experience. We were blown away with the whole experience during our short stay. Cant score the value because we got it as a present .

Unwinding time in a peaceful environment
Peaceful and relaxing with lovely walks. The sauna and plunge pool was excellent. No noise. Some recommendations - a double hob would have been really helpful and foot stools to put your feet up on. Really enjoyable stay

It's hard to put into words how special the stay was
The location. With the small estuary beside the sauna, the rope bridge and the winding stroll through the wood.

Dying to go back already!
Loved our stay in Fernwood Farm. We stayed in the Dome. It’s so unique and different. It was so cosy with the fire lit, listening to the wind outside and we woke up to the sound of rain. It was heaven. The sauna and plunge pool are such a nice feature. The whole place is so peaceful, you feel like your miles away from everything when you’re only a stones throw away pfrom Clifden. Will definitely be back!

Back to nature, a wonderful experience
Our third visit to Fernwood, we love this secluded getaway. Top class facilities in a wonderful setting. The tree house is our favourite and the walks are a lovely addition. Looking forward already to our next visit.

What an amazing, magical stay. Like nowhere I have ever stayed before in the best possible way.
From beginning to end - just magical. The forest walk with various look out points, all with different, breath taking views. The rope bridge, the sauna with the fresh water plunge pool, I could have stayed for weeks but felt completely recharged after a weekend. Thank you!

Peaceful
Everything was lovely and as described. Little fireplace warmed the place right up and made it all that much more cozy. However don't be like me and forget that you probably read you can't drive up directly to the Dome. You will get an email describing the property with the access codes and in the description it will note about a guest parking lot next to a shipping container office - STOP AND PARK THERE - if you drive down the path with the arrows it's not easy backing up.
