Quiet seclusion

The cabin is clean and well appointed. I used the cabin for my base of operations for some fly fishing in the numerous nearby streams/creeks. If you’re looking to relax and unwind, this is a great place.

Great Property, Great Experience

Our stay at The Forest House @ Warren Lake was excellent. And our Host was even better. Everything we needed and wanted... and no hassles. Clean and well-maintained. Quiet and safe neighborhood. Wish we could stay longer. No doubt we'll try to stay again and again.

Perfect Getaway

A perfect secluded getaway for me and my husband. We absolutely loved our long weekend at the Forest House. The cabin is clean and very cozy, and well stocked with essentials. The location is beautiful and conveniently located to Michaux Forest and many good hiking spots. When we weren’t out exploring, the fireplace and firepit were perfect for a relaxing night. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Weekend in the Woods

The Forest House cabin is a lovely and comfortable place to enjoy some peace and quiet in a tranquil forest setting. One highlight of our stay at The Forest House was watching a deer stroll across the backyard while enjoying a blazing fire in the fire pit in the backyard. We appreciated the gracious hospitality and abundant supplies that made our stay very enjoyable. We are thankful for the happy memories we made while staying in The Forest House!

Charming Fall Escape

We enjoyed our “girls trip” reunion at the cabin. The fireplace and outdoor fire pit added to our experience. The home is clean and beautiful & the beds are comfortable. The kitchen is not ideal for cooking for a group & the living room seating is more suitable for 4-5 max. We were surprised to receive a message from the owner on our second day questioning the number of people staying at the house as well as if we had a dog. It felt creepy & invasive and we started wondering if there were cameras or someone watching us.

Why they chose this property

We have worked really hard to make The Forest House nice, clean, fun and most of all affordable. Folks tell us that we should be charging more—but, quite frankly, we are tired of being priced out of vacation homes ourselves. In return, we ask folks to take care of the place and help keep the magic alive. Have a great stay. The Forest House @ Lake Warren Estates
