Ever imagined sleeping among the trees, waking to birdsong and stepping straight into nature The Treehouse Dome offers exactly that, a secluded escape set high within the woodland canopy at Fernwood.

Perched five metres above the forest floor, this heated geodesic dome is open year-round and fully self-contained, combining the magic of a treehouse with the comfort of a luxury retreat.

Inside, a super king-size bed anchors the space, with a wood-burning stove adding warmth and atmosphere on cooler evenings. A fully equipped kitchenette, large rain shower and thoughtful design throughout ensure you have everything you need for a relaxed and comfortable stay.

Step out onto your private deck and take in the stillness of the trees, or wander down to explore Fernwood’s woodland paths, lakeside sauna and plunge pool.

It is a space that feels both playful and deeply restorative, an experience that stays with you long after you leave.

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

    We stayed at both the Stilt House and the Dome House. Very different spaces but both peaceful and private. The sauna experience is fabulous. We were fortunate to share the Gather dinner, our last night. Anne and Simon have created a unique place. Clearly so much thought has gone into every detail.

    I loved how peaceful and quiet it was, the perfect escape of our busy lives. The accommodation provided all the necessities and it was incredibly clean. The Fernwood area is amazing for a morning and evening walk. Waking up in the morning with the view of nature couldn't be more perfect.

    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 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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    Peaceful, joyful, lovingly cared for; it was simply a delight. Walking through the woods to access the dome was charming. Stone paths weaving throughout the trees brings you to a lovely lake and rope bridge to cross the rushing stream. The accommodations were well thought out; we wanted for nothing during our stay. We enjoyed the short walk up the lane to town for dinner. It was delightful to be that close to the village yet so far from everyone. We loved every minute of our 3 night stay.

    The experience was truly magical, especially waking up surrounded by the tranquil beauty of the trees. The Dome offered a cozy yet enchanting atmosphere that made our getaway unforgettable. Enhancing our stay were the fantastic amenities—relaxing in the sauna, taking refreshing dips in the plunge pool, and enjoying the short walk to the picturesque cove. The entire booking process, along with self-check-in and check-out, was seamless and stress-free. A special thanks to our incredible hosts!

    I loved how secluded yet close to the small town it was. It was great to get snack and groceries while being 5 mins away and feeling like you are so far from society. I also loved how there was no interaction with anyone. You simple went to your house/dome and that was it.

    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.

    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.

    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!
