The house was great! The kids loved the game room and the pickleball court. The only issue we had was low water pressure.

This was the perfect mountain retreat for our family and our pups. It had everything we needed, and the kids kept begging to go back to the house because of all the fun activities the home possessed. Check in and out was very smooth, everything was clean and working, and we had such a great time as a family. We will definitely be considering using this property for our yearly trip. Thank you!

We stayed at Modern Forest Escape for nine days, and it was everything our family was hoping for. The home is beautifully designed and packed with amenities. Between the private movie theater, pickleball court, ping pong table, basketball court, sauna, game room, and hot tub, there was always something to do. Our kids loved it so much that they often preferred staying at the house instead of heading out for activities around town.The area surrounding the house is beautiful and peaceful. We enjoyed going for walks and sitting on the porch in the mornings, drinking our coffee while listening to the birds. We saw deer and rabbits from our window almost every morning.The hosts were wonderful—friendly, attentive, and genuinely committed to making sure we had a great stay. If a small issue came up, their staff responded quickly and took care of it without hesitation.We made so many great family memories here and truly enjoyed every minute of our stay. We would absolutely recommend Modern Forest Escape to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing mountain getaway, and we hope to book it again next summer when we return to the area.
