Treehouse stays were once the preserve of childhood imagination; now they’re among Ireland’s most coveted staycation boltholes. Below are five of the best that are open and taking bookings in 2025!

1. The Hideaway, Dromquinna Manor — Kenmare, Co. Kerry

From its private, gated board-walk you step into a canvas pavilion on a wooded cliff above Kenmare Bay. Inside, antiques and a wilderness kingsize bed; outside, the tide! Think of it less as glamping and more as a romantic retreat that simply happens to have canvas walls.

The Hideaway has a two-night minimum stay -the first night is priced at €350, additional nights €250 and include a hamper breakfast and complimentary Prosecco. Book: dromquinnamanor.com/the-hideaway

2. Treehouse Dome, Fernwood — Clifden, Co. Galway

Five metres up in native woodland, Fernwood’s geodesic dome pairs Connemara wildness with boutique comforts, including a super-king bed, wood-burning stove, rain shower and a private lakeside sauna for post-hike perfection. By day you’re on the Sky Road, by night the Milky Way crawls across the domed ceiling!

The Airbnb listing shows from €355 per night in summer 2025; direct bookings often run 20% cheaper. Book: fernwood.eco

3. Couples’ Treehouse, Teapot Lane Glamping — Tawley, Co. Leitrim

Cross a timber bridge into lantern-lit branches where a pot-belly stove keeps the king-bed cabin toasty year-round. A compost loo hides off the balcony, with a hot outdoor shower just under. The Atlantic is ten minutes away, but most guests never leave the hammock.

Starts from €390 for a two-night stay (€195 per night) with 5% off if you linger longer. Adults only, pets welcome by prior arrangement. Book: glampingireland.ie/accommodation/the-treehouse

4. Grove House Treehouses — Skibbereen, West Cork

Three cedar-clad pods sit in the treetops of a Victorian estate, each with outdoor hot-tub, spiral stairs and a porthole window that frames the stars. By day you’re minutes from Atlantic coves and by night it’s you, the owls and a glass of something cold in the tub.

Prices start at €199 mid-week and €239 at weekends; weekly lets from €1,350 in high season. Book: cottagesforcouples.ie

5. Bubble Domes, Finn Lough Forest Hideaway — Co. Fermanagh

Strictly speaking these are clear-skinned domes rather than tree-houses, but you float in the canopy all the same, and if your travel partner or kids have a fear of heights this is the perfect compromise. Transparent walls give 180-degree views of oak branches by day and stars by night. Morning begins with a breakfast hamper and ends, perhaps, in the lakeside spa’s sauna barrels.
