We had a wonderful 10 day stay at this beautiful location. It was a good starting point for many trips to the west coast. Also the lake view from the main room is absolutely marvellous. We would recommend this house.

We really enjoyed staying at this property. And the view of the lake from the living room was always very beautiful. There is a great pub and two shops for all necessities in Whitegate near by. The property is perfect if you want to explore the Lough Derg.

We all loved this property, beautiful, peaceful setting, incredibly comfortable and hosts were responsive to all communications. The photos do not do it justice. This is the first VRBO property that I have felt this way about. Most other property’s photos seem more spacious and sunnier. This one is better in person. It's an amazing place. Stayed with 4 other friends, all older, and we hated leaving. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

My family and I absolutely loved this rental, and are completely thankful and grateful. Such a beautiful location, and centrally located. The washer and dryer combination is the best I've ever had in my various stays in Europe for the last 20 years! Not kidding! Rita, the host, is so responsive and helpful. Very happy with our stay! Thank you, thank you, thank you! :-)
