Yes, you can add your dog at checkout for €40, which covers extra cleaning. There can be sheep grazing on the property, as well as the owners' dog, so we ask that dogs stay on a lead at all times around the grounds.

Is Tigín accessible by public transport?

Yes, you can take a train or bus directly from Dublin, followed by a short 10-minute taxi ride from the nearest station. That said, if you'd like complete flexibility to explore Wicklow during your stay, renting a car is a great option.

What is the minimum night stay and price?

There is a two-night minimum stay at Tigín, and most weekends have a three-night minimum. That said, single-night stays can sometimes be possible if there's a gap between bookings, so it's always worth checking the calendar or getting in touch. On pricing, Tigín sits in the €€-€€€ range: less than Ireland's boutique cabin resorts, but a huge step up from basic Airbnb stays. You get to use a sauna and an outdoor bath and enjoy one of the best mountain views in Ireland. For what you're getting, it's a strong value.

Tigin off grid cabin exterior against the hills of Wicklow

An outdoor bath set with yellow buttercup petals â€” the slow ritual of arriving.

A wide picture window onto the rolling Wicklow countryside, the bench cushioned and the hills laid out below.

Wool socks on the rungs, the loft above, the morning waiting.

A built-in bed under low light, cork-clad walls absorbing the quiet.

Bread on a board, eggs in their carton, a folded cloth â€” supper coming together in the low Wicklow light.

Coffee, eggs and the wide view: breakfast laid out on the bench beside the window.

The cabin's dark corrugated flank meets a small deck â€” a fire box, two wooden chairs and a copper bath set out for evening.

String lights overhead and a log-burner glowing â€” the evening view down the Wicklow valley.

A Sanyo cassette deck, a tuner and three tapes â€” Bowie, Dire Straits, Green Day â€” analogue evenings at Tigin.

The fire being lit on the deck at the golden hour, hills folding into hills toward the horizon.

The verdigris-aged copper bath sits against the cabin's dark corrugated flank, sky mirrored in the picture window above.

Yellow buttercups float on the water of the outdoor copper bath, the field beyond catching late sun.

The Tigin cabin glows from within at dusk, set in its meadow with two loungers and a copper bath waiting.

The cabin set into its hillside, the bare trees of late winter standing around it.

Hosted by Tim Wicklow

Sleeps 2 max

Hidden in the heart of Wicklow, alone in a large south-facing meadow on a 70-acre property, lies Tigín. The cabin is entirely off-grid and solar-powered, but that doesn't mean compromising on comfort. An air conditioning system keeps the cabin at the perfect temperature year-round, even on hot summer days. Inside, the tiny house is an open-plan space with a mezzanine sleeping level, complete with kingsize bed and reached by ladder stairs. Downstairs, a daybed sits beneath the huge window, alongside a foldaway dining table and chairs. The fully equipped kitchen has a fridge with an ice box, gas stove and large sink, and there's a minibar curated by Lennox Street Grocer so you can settle in with something delicious on arrival. The space is furnished with ceramics and textiles crafted by Irish makers wherever possible. There's a hot shower, a Scandinavian-style dry toilet, and shelves and a rail for your belongings. Outside, a decked area holds a copper bath, a Weltevree outdoor oven, and a fire pit with a cooking grill, benches, and a picnic table. A short walk away, a rustic wood-fired sauna is yours to use.

Tigin - perfect for mountain views and 70 acres of land to roam

Who is Tigin for?

Tigín is for those who want to truly get away and only have to travel an hour from Dublin to do it. This is the most isolated cabin you'll find: completely alone in the middle of a 70-acre property in Wicklow, the Garden of Ireland, with not another building in sight. It looks south over native woodland to the Wicklow Mountains beyond, and the land around you is alive with wildlife. If you've ever dreamed of soaking in an outdoor bath with mountain views, you've found your place. The property is home to a lovingly restored traditional farmhouse and a series of ecological projects, including new native woodlands and a syntropic forest garden in the making. It is hosted by Tim and his family, who will be happy to share the story of the land and its restoration. Things to note: reaching the cabin means a 300m walk through the meadow, so pack outdoor shoes for the weather. The kingsize bed sits on a mezzanine reached by a ladder, so you'll need to be comfortable with the climb.
