Vacation rentals with lake access in Cavan

Our family of 5 adults enjoyed our stay at Mary and Ray's home. Each of our 4 rooms had an ensuite bathroom, and the home was equipped with heated floors on the lower level, as well as a wood stove, gas fireplace, and dimmable lights for a cozy evening ambiance. The home has many personal touches like motion sensor night lights in the entrance, staircase, and bedrooms, as well as a display of various family members' drawings and paintings. The view of the lake is amazing. There are many lovely restaurants in the area, including a reservation-only prix-fixe restaurant serving venison and partridge. This is a European home, and we were surprised to see a few added luxuries like a few screened windows as well as a tumble dryer (to soften line-dried clothes). Mary and Ray were incredibly responsive and hospitable to us throughout our stay.

Thank you to Ben for having us to stay. It was very easy to locate, and the check in process was seamless. The place was lovely, and we appreciated the small touches such as providing milk/bread/eggs. Located next to the gorgeous castle, the air bnb provided us a fantastic stay for our cousin’s wedding weekend! We would recommend a stay here if you are visiting the area.

Breda was lovely and helpful. Our kids loved the use of lake and canoe, down every evening. Would definitely stay here again if going down, lovely big spacious house.

Excellent hosts therefore we had a wonderful stay at Driney House and hope to return. 😀 All the kids were so happy they could all bunk in together in the room with all the beds, like a proper sleepover, telling ghost stories with a torch. 👻 We stayed for three days and happily never left the grounds. It was so relaxing to take in the view while the kids had plenty of activities to keep them entertained, out in the fresh air getting plenty of exercise. They would have even slept on the trampoline!😀 The pool was a great hit, there is no deep end as such so it was great for the kids, and great to play volleyball. There were life vests available for use in a range of sizes for those that couldn’t swim. From the first contact the hosts were amazing, they were so helpful with a great generosity of spirit. A lovely family with a very special guest house. It’s like an activity centre with the most amazing views on the lake…..but the bonus is you have it all to yourself! 😀

Lovely quiet location short walk to Lough Rynn castle where we attended a wedding.The house was well equipped spotlessly clean and beds were very comfortable Chris also left supplies for breakfast as well as little treats. Thank you Chris

LOVED BEECH COTTAGE. John and Rose were very welcoming nothing was a bother. The cottage is in the most peaceful and beautiful location right on the banks of the Shannon. Everything has been thought of and catered for. Comfortable beds cosy home and 2 bathrooms. The children loved it here feeding the pony and donkey and just able to run round outside. Lucky John and Rose's dog is very friendly and very cute so is Tom the cat. Watching the fox in the field coming to be fed is amazing. Carrick needed but close drive to all amenities. We cannot wait to go back. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We had a lovely time staying here and would highly recommend. We would definitely stay here again

House has (almost*) everything you need, and Dylan is a great host (clear responsive kind host). The location is incredible - it would be easy to spend hours watching the weather roll in and out over the river, to enjoy families with their kids and dogs wandering by. There are two double rooms with ensuites, and one double room with a downstairs bathroom beside it which practically acts as an ensuite. We spent many happy hours here relaxing. The local town is a very short drive, and you can do anything you want here I'd say. From nothing but reading books to going for a paddle/kayak/swim daily. Really beautiful location. We'll be back for sure. * some basics like clingfilm and extra kitchen towels/roll wouldnt go amiss, and I would recommend bringing deck chairs, but nothing you cant manage without.,

We had a wonderful stay and rented the full space—perfect for our family. Michael and Nicola are everything Airbnb was meant to be: warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. Unlike many hosts these days who are remote owners, they live on-site and truly care about their guests. They greeted us with enthusiasm and gave great tips on local sights. Our 6-year-old daughter had an amazing time playing with their daughter (also 6). The property is very family-friendly with a zip line, tennis court, playhouse, trampoline, and two friendly dogs who acted as our guides on peaceful walks. The private suite was quiet and comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed. This was a personal, memorable experience—highly recommended!

Beautiful location Angela was extremely helpful and friendly locals were very friendly and polite would highly recommend had a great time will definitely go back again but for longer

Geraldine and Paul were very welcoming and friendly. Accomodation excellent, more spacious than the photos suggested. Cosy, woodburner lit when we arrived. A selection of basic supplies including breakfast with Geraldine's home made bread. Paul was very helpful with advice about local fishing. Large comfortable bed , and excellent bathroom. Lovely countryside, lots to explore.

This is 1 place I would definitely go back to , it was so relaxing to be there that we slept well and enjoyed the scenery and surrounding area

Good place to stay near Cuilcagh Boardwalk Trail

Peter was a fantastic host. Looked after us during our four weeks day. His dad brought logs for the fireplace regularly and without us even asking. Lovely little village with amazing pub next door and others just up the road. Shops within a couple of minutes walk. Great walks and scenery within a short drive. Highly recommended!

Immaculate place to stay in the countryside! Beautifully kept rooms and all the modern conveniences provided. Nicola and Michael are very warm and welcoming! They had great tips for dinners out, provided us with wellies for walking about their land, and made sure we were comfortable. The setting is serene and relaxing!! It was a great “home base” for doing genealogy work in neighboring counties, and is well situated for great day trips. The kitchen had everything we needed for making meals. Thanks!!

If you have visions of spending time in a cottage in a small Irish village, this is the place! Beautiful, comfortable, and inspirational! Walkable to the train line which runs from Dublin to Sligo so very convenient. A lovely get away.

Friendly host and only to anxoous to please. Sorted a problem with the water (from a well) by working from early morning until it was finished. Great area and we did the walks that we were told about.

fabulous house, had everything we needed, and a great location

Lovely house very clean warm and homley. Wonderful peaceful safe place to stay would highly recommend for family s

Bruno was very welcoming. He left a very generous amount of food for us - milk, bread, eggs etc. The cottage was lovely and warm when we arrived and stayed that way. It is a cosy and comfortable cottage in a nice, quiet location close to town. Bruno was very helpful in suggesting local hike routes.

We had a fabulous stay at Joanna's house. The house was spotless and very spacious. It's in a beautiful estate with forests and a gorgeous private lake. Joanna was very easy to communicate with and very prompt. We would definitely recommend this house to others.

We stayed at Jim's cottage on the 2nd leg of our tour of Ireland, the peace & quiet of this area as well as the local history was much appreciated. We were able to visit two of the O'Rourke castle sites as well as O'Rourke's Table which was a pretty streneous hike but well worth the effort, I only regret not having more time to explore & fish the many canals & lakes in the area. Overall the cottage was nearly perfect for our stay & would definately recommend! Thanks, Jim & Erin Paul Roark

Wow, what a place to stay. It's better than the photos. Kevin met us at the property and checked us in in no time, gave advise about the fishing. The private jetty is perfect for peaceful fishing and a short walk in to the town has a few bars with live music in the evening. The house is lovely and clean. We are already deciding when we can get back.
