One House. The Whole Family.
Organising a family reunion is complicated enough without dividing everyone between different hotels, B&Bs or holiday homes.
At The Lake House Kerry, your group gets the entire property exclusively to yourselves. There are spaces to gather for meals and celebrations, places to escape for a little peace and quiet, and 11 bedrooms so everyone can finish the evening under the same roof.
Whether you're planning a milestone birthday, anniversary, multi-generational holiday, homecoming to Ireland or simply getting a scattered family together again, the house gives you a private base to make the weekend your own.
Public Review from Kate visiting from Canada
“The photos and description for this listing don’t do it justice! Our large family group felt welcome, comfortable and absolutely at home with this incredible place. We can’t wait to come back to this home on a future family vacation and will definitely life stay longer so that we can have more time to enjoy this unique, beautiful and comfortable home.”

Family Meals Without the Restaurant Logistics
Feeding a group of 20 or more people doesn't always mean trying to find a restaurant table for 20.
The Lake House gives families the flexibility to cook together, arrange local catering or head into Kenmare for a meal. Whether it's a relaxed breakfast, a big family dinner or food brought in for a celebration, you're free to organise meals around your family rather than hotel schedules.
We can also point you towards local caterers and suppliers who regularly work with groups staying at the house.

Coming Home to Ireland?
Tracing Your Kerry Roots?
For families spread across Ireland, the UK, United States, Canada, Australia and beyond, getting everyone together can become a trip years in the making.
The Lake House gives overseas families one shared base in County Kerry, whether you're returning to visit relatives, tracing family roots or introducing a new generation to Ireland.
From here, you can explore Kenmare, the Beara Peninsula, the Ring of Kerry and the Wild Atlantic Way — while still having somewhere private to come home to each evening.
Finding Your Way Home: Tracing Roots in County Kerry
You already have relevant content on the site for this audience, including the idea of ancestral trips and families spread across Ireland, Europe and America.
This is exactly how we start making the blog feed traffic into commercial pages rather than existing as a separate universe.
Space for Every Generation
A successful multi-generational trip needs both togetherness and space.
The communal areas give everyone somewhere to gather, while 11 separate bedrooms mean people can retreat when they need some downtime. Some family members might spend the afternoon exploring Kerry while others stay by the house, and everyone can come back together for dinner and an evening in the private pub.
That's the real advantage of having the whole property to yourselves: the family can spend time together without having to spend every minute together.
