We had an amazing time here. The place was clean. Hosts were great. Very quiet and peaceful. We loved that they were pet friendly. We don't anywhere without our fur baby and it's so hard to find anywhere that allows pets. Highly recommend!

The most unexpected part that left a lasting impression was the Sasquatch in the woods. The cabin had everything we needed, the area was quiet and felt very private yet close to the stores. The host was very responsive and helpful! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

My husband and I spent our Anniversary weekend at Maple Villa. The cabin is absolutely beautiful. Pictures do it no justice. It is so comfy and cozy! The bed is like cotton balls. We are looking forward to visiting again in the Spring to explore. Thank you Brittany and Johnny! I highly recommend staying here. If I could I would give them 100 stars!

We had an amazing time!

The cabin was gorgeous, clean and had everything we couldve asked for! Although it rained, we still made the best of it, and had an amazing night away...Thank you!!!

About the host

Hosted by Brittany Gibbs

Host profile image
This will be a Forest Villas very first season in service! The founder is named Johnny, and I am Brittany, co-owner and property manager. We met the first season of our other property, and I was fortunate enough to be able to help shape and mold everything we offer our guests. We pride ourselves on providing outstanding customer service, quick response times, and of course customer satisfaction. This is our first raw land commercial development. It has been an amazing amount of work, and more rewarding than I could have anticipated.

Johnny was raised in this area and has a insiders understanding of not only how to provide the best experience for the guests, he is also a great resource if guests are looking for something in particular. He is a loving father (Pic above), dedicated businessman, and a truly talented visionary.

I came to this area three and a half years ago on a nursing contract, and rented one of his units. It wasn’t long before I was presented with the opportunity to be part of this special company. Since then, it has been an amazing adventure. We take pride in what we have created, tho being able to provided a home away from home, a space just waiting to see what kind of unforgettable memories you'll make, has been the most special part. We can't wait to host you too!

Why they chose this property

Amazing location conveniently located off Rt 66. Easy access to town and minutes away from a plethora of activities from wine tastings, to hunting and fishing, or simply relaxing in the river after a hike in the woods. Recently renovated and jam-packed with amenities; we can’t wait to share our space with you.

What makes this property unique

We pride ourselves on being available anytime a guest needs us with a 100% response rate on other platforms and donned with a Super Host title! While this cabin and listing are both new to VRBO, we can’t wait to fill up the reviews. Being able to provide you with an amazing experience is at the core of our passion.

We are located between the Allegheny national forest and the infamous cooks forest. There are several trails of varying degrees of difficulty and composure. We are very well known for hunting, fishing, and snowmobiling as well. If that is not your cup of tea, we are only a few minutes from the Allegheny National River. Pick a Cove and jump in or along the river front, there is a canoe/raft rental company that also provides transportation!

While in town most any essential need is available and the small close knit community will make you feel like family. Marienville is truly a hidden gem!
