When you want to get away from all the hustle of the Valley, it is so nice to make the 2-hour drive to our beautiful home in the forest. Our home boasts three main bedrooms (master bedroom on the main floor with a king-sized bed, and two comfortable bedrooms on the second floor with wonderful views.) There is a very spacious great room with television and wifi. On the side of the house, attached is a "bunkroom" with two bunk beds. The garage is spacious. Outside, we have a spacious driveway with lots of parking, a fire pit, a BBQ, prongs for roasting marshmallows or hot dogs, a cornhole set, and more. Though the interior of the cabin is cozy and comfortable, go out and enjoy the fresh air! Summer Loop leads to the ponds that people love to go to for picnics and sledding (in the winter).

About Ron Tenney
We have been part-time residents of Forest Lakes since 1999. We love everything about coming here in the summer. It has been a gathering place for our family and friends. We have five sons and thankfully, 2 of them lived and raised their families for a few years in the area. Ron is a veterinarian and Marilyn is a counselor. We built this home, intending to make it our summer home, but ended up using it for guests.
Ron Tenney purchased this House in 2008
Why Ron Tenney chose Forest Lakes Estates
This home is on a quiet road in Forest Lakes, set far back from the roads in the area. When quads are traveling in the area, the prevailing wind pushes all dust away. We wanted to have a huge deck so that you can be comfortable just lounging around on the summer evenings. There is a nice view of the pines both in front, behind and to the west of the cabin.
What makes this House unique
There are comfortable beds for 9 people. But the great room and loft can accommodate more (there are three couches). We have a BBQ as well as an outdoor firepit. If you chose to stay with us, please GET OUTSIDE and enjoy nature. But if the weather is not cooperating, we have a wi-fi and TV with access to Roku, Netflix, and other streaming media. The spacious, panoramic view through the windows brings the Ponderosa forest to you.

Beutiful inside and out. Very clean and we'll stocked cabin with an amazing porch.
We spent a holiday weekend with 2 families. The cabin had plenty of space and sleeping beds for all. The kids loved the bunk room. The cabin is in a quiet neighborhood is in the tall pines. We found some great hikes close by and took a trip to Heber for some antique shopping. Ron is very easy to work with and will respond quickly to any questions. My kids accidentally packed one of the cabins games. He was very kind and made it simple for us to return the game to him. Even though it was chilly outside we were still able to enjoy the porch. There was plenty of wood to enjoy a cozy fire outside. We would definitely rent again.
Awesome
Everything you could ever ask for from top to bottom!!!
Thank you and I hope you come again.
very clean and up to date
This cabin is beautiful, and very clean.
Appliances and furnishings are up to date.
I appreciate your kind words. Please come again.
Beautiful retreat, indeed!!
We came to stay for my brother’s wedding and let me tell you, this is the perfect place for families to connect! Lots of room, beautiful view, and the accommodations were wonderful. We were able to relax and enjoy each other’s company like we were at home. A long game of monopoly and a wonderful home cooked dinner was enjoyed by all while watching the snow fall through the huge picture windows! The owner was very kind and quick to respond, a major plus! We hope to visit again in a less hectic time so we can fully enjoy the amenities. So happy!!
You know you are welcome back anytime. We are hoping for a good, wet winter with lots of snow.
The cabin is gorgeous!
The cabin is beautiful, clean and well stocked! Escape the heat and enjoy the fresh pine air while relaxing on the porch or visiting one of the nearby lakes!
Thank you for being our guests. We are continuing to try to add features to make your stay even more enjoyable.
Doesn't get better than this!
This cabin accommodated eight ladies for a 4-day retreat. This cabin was perfect to create a relaxing, peaceful atmosphere. Will be back!
Thank you for your review. I only wish we could have been there to meet and greet.
I hope you all (or individually) come back again.

The popular ponds near Forest Lakes are just a short walk from our cabin. There are lots of places to hike, ride mountain bikes and quads. The deck on our cabin is very inviting to sit back with a good book and enjoy the fresh air.
