    The Lake House is absolutely gorgeous. The views and serenity are everything you need to escape the everyday hustle and bustle.
    We stayed as a group of seven, and the house felt incredibly spacious. It’s beautifully furnished, and Ettienne has truly thought of every detail—even down to the little torches on the bedside lockers!
    The Lake House is all about comfort and outdoor living. Thanks to the massive windows, even when you’re indoors you feel seamlessly connected to the stunning landscape outside.
    Ettienne is an exceptionally attentive host—his generosity and care go above and beyond to make your stay unforgettable.
    We loved our time at The Lake House so much, we’ve already booked to come back. Highly recommended!

    Five stars for Caragh Lake House and Ettienne! Spectacular setting, well-appointed, spacious quarters, lovely decorated and unbeatable view! Ettienne was the most responsive and attentive host we have ever experienced with AirBNB, thoughtfully meeting us at his home for a personal tour, leaving us fresh goodies in the kitchen, and arranging dinner, golf and fishing reservations. He was a message away with any questions we had or guidance we needed. We noticed and appreciated all the special touches throughout his home. Don’t miss the hike within walking from the Lake House, unbelievably stunning views at the top! We hope to someday return to CLH.

    Our stay at The Caragh Lake House was nothing short of magical. It is a gem - a rare find that is luxurious and homely at the same time. No detail was missed, from the cozy fireplace to the full kitchen. There wasn’t a time I couldn’t find what I needed in the house. The house itself was spacious, spotless, and offered privacy for much needed down time. The beautiful lake views greeted us each morning. The low fog created a picturesque view. Even with all there is to do in the area, we were content staying in. Ettienne was exceptional, personalizing our stay, making sure we arrived safely, and offering recommendations. We look forward to returning again because it feels like time slows in the best possible way.

    An exquisite property with a thoughtful host. Etienne’s Caragh Lake House was a private, peaceful retreat—beautifully prepared and full of charm. Our group of six had plenty of space to spread out, along with generous gathering areas perfect for taking in the magical, picturesque views of Caragh Lake. Every detail felt intentional, making our stay both comfortable and memorable.

    Caragh Lake House is the first place we stayed at where the house exceeded the photos. The house was gorgeous, comfortable and the lake view was incredible. Ettienne was there to meet us and made us feel at home right away. Immediately after booking he was quickly responsive to questions and had many recommendations for us. Ettienne is a gracious host and we are so glad we stayed at Caragh Lake House. 100% recommend.

    Last weekend, I stayed at Caragh Lake House with my extended family to celebrate my aunt's 60th birthday and my sister's 30th, and it was the most incredibly memorable and enjoyable getaway we have ever had! I cannot recommend this guest house enough, the house & garden were so spacious, more than enough room for our little dog to run everyday. We spent the days between the sauna and swimming/water sports in the lake and the evenings playing all the games provided. We felt so welcome and at home for the weekend, there we so many personal touches that just made this stay amazing and we now have the fondest memories to look back on. Thank you so much Ettienne for such a special getaway, we could not have hoped a more perfect place or a kinder host! We are all counting the days until we can come back.
