Mountain getaway

Beautiful setting, nice lake with kayak rentals and a nice beach area for the kids and a community pool too. If you rent a kayak, paddle board or pedal boat, make sure you have 20’s, that don’t accept bills over that or credit cards.

Beautiful home with nice ammentities

We planned this trip to get are grown kids together. Each family member that entered smiled and said, “This is nice!” Great hot tub, fire pit and movie room. Also enjoyed the pool, lake and nearby walking trails. Shades of death sounds like a bad/difficult trail but it was actually my favorite. Host is very responsive. Highly recommended place to stay.

Excellent Experience

We had a great time at the Forest Chalet and are so grateful to have had our reservation accepted on such short notice. The house is immaculate, comfortable beds, and a super fun game room. We really loved our stay and would definitely go back again. The only slight issue was that it's listed as a five bedroom, though the Murphy bed upstairs is in a loft setting. Just good to know for future guests, and of course, we read the description quickly because we were in a crunch to book. Everything worked out very well in the end!!
