The property owner was super kind and helpful. We had everything that we needed to enjoy our stay. The home was clean, well organized, and just as it was decribed. We would definitely stay here again!
Very secluded quiet area middle of no where. But not to far from everything you need. Sxs and 4 wheeler trails. You can ride to them from the house. Plenty of room for a large group if needed. If u want to just get away this is your place. Plenty of yard to park trucks and trailers. Plus the price was not that bad as well. My group will be returning for another visit.

Thanks Richard for you enthusiastic review and for being super guests, always appreciated! I also loved the list of nearby trails you shared. I’m sure future guest will find them just as much of a blast as you and your group. Hope to see all of you again at the “Forest Get Away” real soon!
We were so fortunate to snag this property for the lunar eclipse. And we were elated at what we found. Clean and tidy and functional, and very, very spacious. Well-appointed, but not fru-fru (thank you!) ). Family friendly, kiddo friendly, handicap friendly, pet friendly—this place checks them all.
The living area is expansive. No wi-fi but receives excellent cell service. By creating a hot-spot, my husband was able to access music and movies and even a live basketball game.
Forest Get Away! is truly rural and if you appreciate nature, you won’t be disappointed. There is an extensive deck area with lots of seating and a grill and gates to keep pet from running off. There is also an enclosed area of the yard big enough for pet to run. Fun kiddie recreation features including a tree house! Host is very accommodating. Thank you, Denise. I hope to return!
