About this property

Superior property. Located in the Joyce Country Western Lakes Geopark project.


We are proud to be located in theJoyce Country Western Lakes aspiring Geo park Region .

** Please note, the minimum rental period is five nights.


This beautiful ,modern well equipped home is situated in spectacular mountain scenery between two lakes.
It is an ideal getaway for relaxing and unwinding with attractions of hillwalking, and angling on both lakes.
The property is gated and is located between Clonbur and Leenane on the Galway-Mayo border close to the historic village of Cong and on the borders of Connemara.
We have a well stocked dvd library ,book case, board games and a gas stove with real effect gas fire.

Because we are located in the mountains, there is a very limited mobile phone signal.
The house does have Wi-Fi.

We live two hours away and visit the house as often as we can.
I grew up in this beautiful valley and like to return as often as possible.
The house is really quiet and away from it all. It is peaceful, relaxing and cosy.
There are lots of walks and hikes nearby and lake swimming should you wish to kickstart your energies!
The villages of Clonbur and Cong are charming and worth a visit. Clonbur village has a bakery and pubs and a grocery shop.
Tí Bhúrca pub / restaurant in Clonbur often has live Irish music in the evenings ( check social media) as well as bar food.
We are within an hours drive from Galway, Clifden and Castlebar.
The Aran Islands are reachable by Ferry from Rossaveal ( an hour's drive or so also).
We are on WhatsApp and available to answer any questions you may have before and during your stay. Please see the movie ”That they may face the rising sun” it was filmed in the area in 2022 and is really beautiful.

About the host

Hosted by Mary Kearns

Host profile image
I grew up in this valley and I have retained a a deep attachment to this area of unspoilt natural beauty.
I come here as often as time and family commitments allow. We only rent the property during the summer and other holidays as we like to enjoy it ourselves mostly. We hope you have a safe and pleasant stay here and enjoy the house as much as we do.
We ensure the property is vacant for at least three nights between rentals to allow for deep cleaning.
Thank you.

Why they chose this property

I was lucky to grow up in this village and eventually build a vacation home here. We only rent this property at select times of the year as it is used by ourselves in the quieter seasons. This area is Ireland's hidden gem and is not over run by tour buses or camper vans. The area remains unspoiled and is host to many species of wildflowers and birds .There are several walks nearby and also in the villages of Clonbur and Cong and Cornamona. The walk between Clonbur and Cong is well worth the effort .www.coillte.ie/site/clonbur-wood/ .
There are some beautiful walks around Clonbur woods, developed by Coillte, for all levels of fitness. We are proud to be located within the Joyce Country Western Lakes aspiring Geopark area.
Their website is full of information about the amazing geological aspects of this region http://www.joycecountrygeoparkproject.ie it is most informative and you'll be talking about volcanic activity and karst landscapes and marl lakes before you know it!

What makes this property unique

The house is located in Joyce Country and Western lakes aspiring Geopark region.
https://joycecountrygeoparkproject.ie/en/
There is off road parking for several cars. The nearest neighbours are sheep and birds! We have great views from every window, and fantastic scenery in the local area. The house is located within easy reach of the villages of Clonbur and Cong ( where the Quiet man movie was filmed). Cong and Clonbur villages are very pretty and the grounds of the Abbey in Cong are worth visiting and you can stop for a coffee or some retail therapy in the local area.
We are also ideally located for touring Connemara and are within easy distances from Westport and Galway towns.
