Beautiful Hidden Retreat
Posted Sep. 13, 2024 on HomeAwayWe absolutely loved our stay at Rusheens, a lovely cottage with privacy and comfort in a most beautiful setting.
Dara and Markus were warm and informative hosts, just the best. The town of Kenmare was a sweet surprise, with some great places to eat and see, among them Reenagross Park.
Kenmare afforded us access to 3 peninsulas as well as Killarney National Park and many other sights. It was always a treat to return home at the end of a long day to the wagging tail of their sweet dog, Jess! We recommend Rusheens without hesitation!

1st trip to Ireland
Posted Aug. 18, 2024 on HomeAwayWe couldn’t imagine a more perfect place to stay on our first trip to Ireland. Secluded and stunning location yet close to Kenmare for easy trips in and beyond. Hosts are generously welcoming and care for the property with love.

Serenity.
Posted May 12, 2024 on HomeAwayMy son and I very much enjoyed our stay. The cottage is very comfortable and clean. The location is just outside of Kenmare, up a winding road that is in very good condition. The directions to the cottage were easy to find, look for the blue bicycle! Marcus, the host, is a warm and caring fellow. The cottage is on his property, between his home and his artist studio, but extremely private with its own, separate driveway. The location is very peaceful with views of forest and the hills in the distance. I will stay there again, which is the highest compliment! Kim S. Seattle, WA

Epitome of an Ireland Stay
Posted Apr. 6, 2024 on HomeAwayHard to describe what an amazing place this was to stay at, and how much of an impact the property itself has had on our overall trip to Ireland. The location is perfect, with downtown Kenmare only a few minutes from the house. The surrounding area is so beautiful, it’s exactly what we had hoped for to get a real feel of what Ireland is all about. The host Markus was incredibly easy to talk with and so accommodating to us as well. The cottage had everything we could possibly need, but even more so, it had such a warm, peaceful vibe. It’s easy to see the owners have put a lot of effort and thought into making this a one of a kind, very special place. My girlfriend and I had romantic nights by the fire, a wonderful ambient kitchen to cook in, and a sauna to relax in after our daily ventures around the area! To top it off, the owners dog Jess (such a great dog), would come and visit often, much to our delight, to share some love, and help us with missing our beloved animal back home! The place was perfect, that’s not even a good enough adjective to describe it. It made the setting for my proposal so special to my now finance and me! We will be back any and every time we visit Ireland again! Thank you for all the memories Rusheen’s Cottage, you will live in our hearts forever. ~ Marc & Michele

Very private compact house - convenient to Kenmare
Posted Sep. 30, 2023 on HomeAwayThe house is perfect as a starting point to visit Kenmare, Cork, and 3 of Ireland's beautiful peninsulas in the south west. The kitchen is well stocked with all the needed utensils. Both hosts are delightful and we saw them only when we needed. The house was perfect for us 3 adults but might be a bit crowded if there were more. Very private parking area and entrance. Lots of light and cheery.

Excellent cottage -lovely hosts , perfect location, very cosy cottage
Posted Jul. 31, 2020 on HomeAwayWe cannot recommend Rusheen cottage enough. The cottage is located 8 minutes from Kenmare , in a remote and peaceful area with beautiful view on the mountain ( and sound of waterfall/ river nearby ) that is very convenient to visit Ring of Kerry, Beara Peninsula , Killarney National Park ... . The cottage was spotless and has all the amenities that you can need- and much more , the sauna was amazing ! and the kitchen is well equipped - but what we really appreciated is all the little attention around the cottage to make you feel at home ( lots of books , board games, information about the places to visit ..) . The hosts could not be more helpful and friendly, the communication before our arrival was excellent ( with detailed directions so you cannot be lost ) and we have been delighted to meet such lovely people.
This is the perfect place for a relaxing week and to recharge your batteries . Thank you again for everything .
