Bar none, the single best AirBNB experience I’ve ever had. Absolutely spectacular in every way.
From the moment we arrived, we loved everything about Mary’s space. The location is unsurpassed- and I say that as someone already quite familiar with the area. Even having an idea of what to expect in Pontoon didn’t prepare me for the unrivaled sanctuary Mary has created along the shores of Lough Conn.
The house is perfection. Spacious enough to spend a month or more in with a master bed/bath of huge size and amenities. The two additional bedrooms were also lovely- and en suite, to boot. Two bathrooms have large bathtubs (one with a separate, very large shower and heated towel warmer and one with a shower in tub). The third bathroom has a nice shower stall.
The kitchen is kitted out with everything you could need and we so enjoyed the nights we cooked at home as a result. The sitting room and dining room, decked out with fresh flowers on our arrival, look straight out onto the lake that is mere steps away.
The grounds are extraordinary. Forest paths and a beach to wander through and the loveliest group of donkeys that roam about waiting to be pet and fed treats.
Adjacent on the property, Mary runs a wellness center where massages and other healing treatments can be booked.
The hospitality abounded, from the most delicious scones left for us- baked by Mary’s mother- to our hostess’s graciousness.
Truly, from start to finish, the best experience we’ve ever had with AirBNB. Mary’s home is so great it makes Pontoon a “must visit” destination for anyone traveling to Ireland.
Thank you, Mary. Truly. We’ll be back.
