Had A Amazing Time !

Had an amazing time this past weekend at Precious Forest!!! Ken and his family are amazing! We had a group of 16 for a 40th Birthday Surprise Party and couldn't have asked for a better time! Me, being the plan freak that I am, had many questions for Ken prior to our arrival, because as host of the party I would be showing up late with the birthday boy while all the guests set-up the surprise party. Ken answered all my questions quickly and even helped my friends in the set-up before I arrived...

Ken is a gracious host - he provided us with plenty of warm bedding, chopped firewood, and checked up on us to see if we needed anything without ever being obtrusive. He even drove us to a trail we had trouble finding! The cabins themselves are awesome. They are real cabins, remote, and surrounded by forest. I prefer them to camping because you still get running water (the tap water is really good) and comfy beds. My boyfriend wants me to add that Ken rhymes with ten! :)

My family and I could not have asked for a better Christmas vacation. There were 17 of us and every single one of us a loved staying there, from the 2 year old baby to grandma and even our dogs. The view from the property is beautiful. The cabins were very nice and clean and I personally loved the rustic feel to everything, including the working 100 year old stove. Overall, I love this place and I am defiantly going back.

Wow- Ken has a gem here with the Precious Forest! We found this property on airbnb and it looked wonderful, but the pictures don't do it justice. Beautiful drive up through gorgeous country, but climbing the hill up to the precious forest, we knew we were in for a treat. The cabin sits on a gorgeous, secluded, wooded property- and the main feature we thought was the quiet. My wife and I grew up in Colorado and we miss the quiet mountain air- Precious Forest gave us a wonderful dose of that. After enjoying the scenery for a while, we finally made cabin- just spectacular. Everything is just how I would love to have a cabin someday- rustic and authentic. Ken clearly loves this place and has put all the right finishing touches on. My favorite was definitely the old wood stove- love love love! Also, the old lanterns were perfect. Overall- this is what I call perfect wife camping... We grilled outside and cad a perfect campfire- cuddling and roasting marshmallows then went in to the very comfortable bed for a good rest. Highly highly recommend- thanks Ken for sharing the Precious Forest with us!

Precious Forest is a wonderful site to have a wedding. It's a long road up the mountain but worth the drive. This is where beauty and adventure meet to create the space for your guests to gather. If you enjoy camping, cabins, cozy wood burning stoves, kind and attentive pets and an escape from city madness, then this is the place for you! My wife and I had a wonderful wedding and vacation in Precious Forest. The cabin is romantic and cozy, the grounds spacious and exactly what we were looking for. We were even able to have my rock band play outside at our reception. Really fun! Ken and Katie are hard working, kind and gracious hosts who made my wife and I and our newly combined families feel very comfortable and welcome. They also provided our catering with an amazing feast which was enjoyed by all. We really appreciate the time we spent there and have many fond memories we will cherish for a lifetime.

Dearest Ken & Family, Precious Forest is a dream come true. It is the perfect getaway in a priceless location. The cabin is beyond beautiful. We are tremendously grateful for you-for building this magical place as well as sharing it with us. Three days were not long enough for a stay here. We wish we could live here. And on that note, we would like to acknowledge and tip off our hats to your beautiful, simple and timeless life style. Living on the land, working the land, living off the land. These are the thoughts that are simply thoughts for many of us. You and your family, however, really LIVE IT. We admire that so much! We wish you all the happiness, fulfillment and wonder that springs forth from living in Precious Forest. It gives us tremendous hope and comfort about our world knowing that there are people like you who honor the earth and treasure wisdom from the past.

"Peaceful getaway!" We spent the week after Christmas here and had a wonderful time. Getting to the cabin the first time was a little challenging, but by the second trip into town we were pros. The scenery is gorgeous and the cabin a true piece of architectural art! Ken was super friendly and readily available when we needed help with something. If you have small kids, I would recommend spring or summer stays-- lots of time inside frustrates the little ones when there's so much to explore but too cold outside.
