Anniversary vacation
Getting out of town and going to a beautiful, quiet cabin is exactly what we were looking for in a vacation. Day time woodsy views and night time starry views were perfect.

Beautiful but needs a bit of attention
We enjoyed our stay except for the junk beds. Need to put a regular bed back on for adults. Kitchen needed to be clean. Other then that, would recommend this listing.

Beautiful Getaway
We loved staying in this cozy, beautiful cabin nestled in the pine trees. It was a quick drive to Willow Springs Lake and Woods Canyon Lake. The outdoor deck is phenomenal and we spent most of our time out there enjoying the weather and nature. We would stay here again and would recommend you do the same!

Family vacation
The property and communications with management were excellent. The space was great for a large family with lots to do in and around the cabin. A few things could have been a little cleaner, for our liking, but overall a great place that we highly recommend.

Beautiful cabin reminiscent of our family home in Poland on the lake
The cabin was gorgeous. It reminded us of our family's home in Northeastern Poland in the Mazury lake district. The style and décor is very similar. The attention to detail with the build and décor here was above and beyond what we expected. My Mom and Aunt loved it! Very peaceful with lots of wildlife and not too far from the lake. The management company was very responsive to our needs. We look forward to staying again.

Great fun at very nice cabin.
We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. It was very lovely. We had 7 people and 1 dog for 10 nights. Our two granddaughters really enjoyed all the cabin's kid features (tree house, teeter-totter, hammock, and hide out). We fished and went on horseback rides and also went up to see the meteor crater. I have no real complaints (internet was a bit slow for streaming movies at times ). The cabin had everything we needed and was very clean and comfortable. I like that it was more remote than most cabins we have stayed at. Forest Lakes is great location as it is close to Willow Springs Lake where we love to go fishing. Will definitely stay here again if available.

Charming Dacha in the woods!
We had a terrific experience with this rental. The property manager and owners are very attentive and reached out in advance to work with us as unexpected weather encroached on our trip. When we arrived the property was even better than the pictures showed. Our stay was very comfortable, and I do concur with the property manager’s recommendation for a high clearance 4WD vehicle when it snows!

Secluded Spruce
Overall we enjoyed our stay, cabin is very nice - downside is ALL beds are "bunk beds" - see photos - including "master suite" as result it is difficult for (2) people to sleep in same bed. Lower bunk is large enough for (2), however if (1) needs to get up during night, they have to crawl over other person - for light sleepers this is a problem. My husband slept on couch for entire stay. Highly recommend changing out bed in Master Suite.
