Spacious, comfortable, well appointed cabin inside & out!
6 adults, 5 children, and one infant had so much room , big grassy backyard, modern amenities, comfortable beds, everything you need is there. Jacuzzi for tired adults, close to lake, great family get away.
Amazing place with plenty of room for four adults and five boys.
We all had a great experience in the snow and had enough room in the cabin to spread out. Close to town and but mountain get away vibes. Would highly recommend!
very nice place. Would have been nice to be able to have other family come over, but overall worked out great.

Thank you for staying with us! We enjoyed hosting you and appreciate your honest review. We look forward to the time when we can work again with you in the future. Safe travels.
My family struggles to get together for the holidays so we created Merry Givings in between the holiday's. We celebrated at this perfect VRBO in a winter wonderland. It had everthing we needed and welas perfect for my group of family. The kitchen had everything we needed, the beds were warm and comfortable, hot tub was enjoyed and a great neighborhood for walks in the snow with family! Thanks for the wonderful memories!
The property itself was very nice but we’re pretty sure it was haunted. One night there was a man like figure watching through the window.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the property overall. As for the figure you mentioned—while we haven’t had similar reports from other guests, we certainly take any concerns like that seriously. The home is in a quiet, private setting, and we have measures in place to ensure guest safety. We appreciate your feedback and are glad you made the most of your stay!
Plenty of parking for four trucks and one snowmobile trailers. Plenty of bedrooms and sufficient bathrooms. Thankfully, no bunkbeds as pictured. These had been replaced in the larger upstairs bedroom with two full size beds. Nice hot tub after a cold day of snowmobiling. Our only issue was lack of wash clothes - not even one per person for a whole week.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, communication
It was advertised there was air conditioning but there absolutely no air conditioning
The house was clean and accessible, a good size for our large family. The post said there would be a bunk bed room, which there was not. Functionally this wasn't a big deal for our bed needs, but my autistic son was expecting to sleep in a bunk bed and it made for a rocky beginning. The setting was beautiful, but someone in the neighborhood was blasting loud music a lot. Not during the quiet hours, but it was still a little much and made being outside a little less pleasant. Managers were very responsive and helpful. Would stay here again.

Andrea- thanks for staying at Forest Lake Cabin. The owners stayed just before you and surprised us by removing the bunk bed and installed a queen bed. We're not sure who was playing music, but we're glad it wasn't during quiet hours. You're welcome back anytime!
The house was very clean and in great shape. The hot tub however, was not running on arrival. A crew arrived to fix the hot tub a couple of days after we arrived, and once they left, the water was yellow and said needed a new filter. We left the next morning and we were never able to use it our entire stay. Very disappointed the hot tub was not working, this was one of the reasons we chose this house to stay in. The house itself was great, lots of space for us to hang out and a lovely dining room where we played lots of card games. The Wi-Fi was not strong however throughout the house and only worked in the front two rooms. A back bedroom had a tv with a Roku that we could never get to work since the WiFi didn’t reach back that far. Overall, the place was very nice and we would rent another house from this company, just not this particular location.
This house was everything that it was billed to be. Plenty of room for our large group to sleep and stretch out. We especially liked the well stocked kitchen. It had all of the necessary pots pans and griddles to do all of our cooking. Plus it's only 10 to 15 minutes to Tamarack for skiing.
The cabin was amazing! Perfect place to stay and see everything the area has to offer. Wonderful communication by the property manager as there was an issue with the hot tub and with some time was eventually fixes and we were able to enjoy that for one day. Even with the hiccup, I'd stay again.
Great layout & comfortable. Service was excellent.
Kitchen supplies (pots & pans) were on the more worn side even for rentals. Bring your own gear if you’re someone who likes to cook.
The location was great, size and layout of the cabin worked wonderfully for our family gathering. The large dining table was especially great for meals and playing games together. The only sub par comment I would have is the beds were not the most comfortable. Overall the space and what they provide in the cabin to meet our needs was spot on.
The location and cabin was beautiful. My friends, family and I had a great time. Volleyball was a big hit and a bonus! We enjoyed it and hopefully will be back again. Thank you!
