The place was amazing and exactly what we wanted for our short getaway. Centrally located with great amenities. Would stay again and recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area. Hosts were so accommodating and helpful.
You want a nice house to sneak away for the weekend. This is your place. From grilling to hot tub and playing game. Or just sit out and watch the wild life on deck. Very nice place and would definitely book again!
Property was immaculate, clean and tidy beds, excellent amenities with everything functioning properly / as it should. A nice perk was that a lot of the lights had dimmer switches. Fans / split units for temperature control to your liking. We would and have discussed coming back again. Property owners were very responsive.
What a wonder time our family had at the Forest Chalet. Andy and Michelle were the best hosts ! Their home is beautiful and clean. The decor is exquisite. Everything you need and more is right at your fingertips. They have thought of everything ! The downstairs game room with the 85 inch TV and a big popcorn maker was a BIG hit with the four boys, but so was the pickleball court and the hot tub. The hiking and dining were great too, but coming back to the Forest Chalet and all that was waiting for us there at the end of a day made this vacation our best yet !
Absolutely loved our stay at the forest chalet. The home was spotless and well stocked. Loved having linens included along with basic paper goods. Always nice having less to pack! The home was cozy and had so much to do to keep our families entertained. Loved all the modern upgrades on property. The managers were easy to communicate with. The only thing I’d suggest is adding a drying rack for dishes! Will absolutely be back.
This home was perfect for our winter getaway with our kids and their friends. The house is clean and comfortable and has everything you need. The teenagers really enjoyed the hot tub, the game room, and hanging out in the loft. Everything about it is perfect! Great location too!
This was a wonderful home- spacious, clean, and quiet!We especially loved sitting out under the porch on the deck in the mornings and evenings watching the local deer. We would definitely stay again if we come back to this area.
The experience with VRBO was great. The house was beautiful, clean and had plenty of outdoor seating. The house was close to many things so not a far drive for anything we did. I would definitely recommend and would stay again if I had the opportunity.
The property was very nice! Our family had plenty of room to spread out! Great neighbor hood and host was super responsive to all questions.

We had a very happy, relaxing get away. The house is located close to various places to visit. Jim Thorpe, Hawk Falls, a butterfly farm. The property was perfect for our family. The three levels of the chalet were what we needed. The amenities are well thought out. I really recommend this property if you are looking for a family get away.
Real good job of taking care of the needs of our holiday stay. Very well stocked. Very clean. Host was easy to communicate with and very accommodating.
I did a short weekend getaway with family. We enjoyed the immaculate cleanliness of the house, many amenities and proactive communication and suggestions from the owner. I recommend the rental and look forward to booking again.
We had a wonderful time at Forest Chalet. We were comfortable and cozy with everything we needed, close to everything we wanted to see, our kids loved the games, and we got to say hi to a bunch of deer! They did not say hi back, which was probably for the best.
The house was beautiful, had everything we needed!
We all hope we can make it back next year!
