Cabü by the Lakes
Killykeen, Cavan, Ireland · Cabü · Accessible Luxury
Scandi-chic timber cabins sit among oak and ash in Killykeen Forest Park on Lough Oughter, County Cavan, in Ireland's lake district. Condé Nast Traveler filed the hideaway (mislabelled County Monaghan) for bluebell walks, boat time on the lakes, and a sauna afterward. Twenty-eight woodland and lake-view cabins range from one-bedroom hides to three-bedroom boathouses on a 100-acre private site. The Cabin Club serves all-day food; Cabü Corner rents paddleboards and bikes.
