A nice getaway.

This was the perfect spot for my family to step away from everyday life. The kids loved the bunkbed slide and arcade style games in the basement.

Amazing Family Getaway

We loved our stay at Into the Forest. The theming is great. The kitchen is stacked. The amenities were great for kids and adults and there is a lot of room for everyone to spread out. Great views from the deck and management was super responsive with any questions. Would highly recommend.

This is our 2nd time to book this place! My family and I stay here during Christmas. It is the perfect setup with the slide for the kids- my kiddos, ages 4 and 2 absolutely had a blast. We were at Silver Dollar City when my 4 year old said she was ready to go back to the “Hoe-del” (HOTEL) she really loved it. Anyways, the setup of the rental is perfect for all ages and so accommodating with nice rooms and each have their own bathroom. We will be back again next year.

Our family had a great time. We had 5 adults and 9 children/teens. The house had plenty of room and was as described. The kids enjoyed the pools. Would definitely recommend.

This place was absolutely amazing. So clean with tons of space. We had a problem with a tv not working and it was replaced within an hour. They were so easy to work with and they responded to my messages very quickly even in the middle of the night. The entire city lost power and they were on it and kept me updated on the electric companies progress. They even messaged me at 2 in the morning to let me know the power was back on. Long story short, we are already planning another trip to this rental.

Wonderful Stay!

This property was the perfect place to stay for our family vacation. The layout was so well done (great use of space). Every room was so nice and everyone gets their own bathroom. The owners did extremely well with this property and the details. We appreciated the high chair :). In our group we had all ages (toddlers to senior citizen) and this VRBO accommodates everyone! Fun for young kids with the slide and tree house upstairs. A hot tub, sauna, firepit and games on the lower level so not to wake up the kids at bedtime. Also, they have a black stone grill which my husband appreciated while cooking breakfast for our large group. We also took our 3 year old to swim in the indoor pool one night, which she loved. It was a great trip and everyone enjoyed the stay! Highly recommend!
