Wonderful cozy upscale cabin on great part of Forest Lake!
Cabin is quaint with very upscale, nautical decor and everything we needed and more! The kids loved the quaint bunks, the master has a private walkout with lake view, all the linens and kitchen supplies are very nice. The grass and outdoor property are well-kept with high quality chairs, lounge and large table with umbrella. Sunsets are amazing! Our kids loved playing in the sandy area (and there were a bunch of sand toys provided!). The shoreline is large rocks but there are nice steps farther down the dock to enter the water. The main draw back is that there were a lot of weeds along the shore - it's not a great swimming area. We did have some relaxing canoe rides which was so nice and we rented a pontoon to have which was key for the week with kids. The owner was very responsive to our requests and communication and was very accommodating! Would definitely recommend this place and stay again!

Perfect and quiet get-away!
Sunset Circle was simply perfect! Loved the decorating inside the cabin - so clean and neat! We found everything we needed for a nice, "chill" weekend. Our hosts were very easy to work with and were always quick to respond to questions. We would highly recommend Sunset Circle and hope to be back again!

Looked like the pictures we saw on the website. We had to change to the end of September so it was too cold to swim. We'll come back when it's warmer.

Family get together
We had our family get together here Aug 12 - 15th. There were 6 of us total 5 adults and a 5 year old. We loved the location and coziness of the cottage. Everything was perfect. The only thing was the construction on the road but other than that the place was great. Thanks much for an awesome weekend.

Nice place but rough edges
The House was very clean and beautiful. The lake was beautiful for fishing and kids playing in the lake. I communicated to the property manager 24 hrs before arriving and he never said anything about the construction going on in the neighborhood or that the road was under construction. When taking a shower with no hot water. Was even tougher. All the faucets had hot water but not the shower and all the water smelled like the lake.

Nice place but needs some additions
This place is beautifully decorated, and the lake location is great. The lake is nice and clean, too. However, there are no blinds or other coverings on the patio doors to the lake or on the back door. Considering that the bathroom adjoins the kitchen and the bedroom is around the corner and down the hall, this is a real problem. There's not even a hook inside the bathroom for a robe, so getting from the bathroom to the bedroom without risking exposure if someone is walking by or if you're with other people is a real feat. Also, there's no way to leave the only outside opening in the bedroom (a door) open to the breeze as there's no screen. Finally, plan to take a very short shower as the hot water gives out fast. I did like the place, and it's generally well equipped, but it needs a few improvements.

Perfect getaway !
I came to Forest Lake with my family of 6, two adults and 4 children (age 12, 9, 4, and 2). This was the perfect home! We were right on the lake and I couldn’t get over the view. The bunk room was great and the kids LOVED have their own little space when the curtains to the bunks were closed. The detail that went into the numbered pillows were so cute! Although it was smaller than we usually stay with our family of 6, the closeness of us all being together was wonderful! We spent so much time outside and the sand area for my little ones was needed!! I would Highly recommend staying here !!

Family of 4 Getaway
Our stay at the Sunset Cottage at Forest Lake was perfect for our family of 4. Our two little ones (3 and 1) had plenty of things to keep busy with between the fun bunk beds and games inside to the private stretch of beach in the backyard. The days were filled with playing at the house, exploring the friendly neighborhood with evening walks, and finding parks, food, and ice cream in town. Bob and Kelly were very responsive to a couple small issues we ran into during our time there but nothing that detracted from us being able to enjoy our stay to the fullest!
