Cozy perfect cabin, loved the river out the back door. Enjoyed just hanging out playing games and puzzles. Would definitely make this a stay again with more of our family.
Pros - beautiful location, friendly neighbors, good sledding area nearby, close to Monarch, very spacious. The only real con was the heat varied quite a bit throughout the cabin. We had to use blankets and wear hats one night at the dinner table while my daughter’s bedroom upstairs was very warm. We would stay here again. The check in process was easy.
We loved this cabin in the woods. There’s so many places to explore at this location. There’s plenty of room for family and everyone to have their own space. We loved how remote it felt, the cabin had everything we needed.

We enjoyed the beautiful surroundings, the views were amazing! also quiet and peaceful! We want to come back soon to experience another tranquil getaway at your wonderful cabin! 💜
This was a perfect cabin to stay at for a great get away from reality! The creeks were amazing to listen to as we sat on the porch and enjoyed the fresh mountain air. It is close enough to town if you need anything but cabin is away from it all. Just the vacation my family needed.

Thank you for staying at Pinon Vacation Rentals... So happy to hear you enjoyed your stay !!
We loved our time in the cabin! It was exactly (actually more) than we hoped for. We loved our time at the creek and the seclusion from the busyness of life. We hope to come visit again some day!
Beautiful views. Quiet area. Great place to relax. Plenty of room. Beds were comfortable. Wifi was solid.

Wonderful cabin & well appointed
We were two families of four and this cabin worked well for us. The creek behind the cabin immediately makes you destress upon arrival. A little hard to find at night, so make sure to follow the directions provided. We will absolutely stay here again.

So happy you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to hosting you and your family again soon.
We came to this home a week before Thanksgiving and we got to live our winter wonderland dreams. Just enough snow that the kids were able to sled and build snowmen the whole trip, but not enough snow to keep us snowed it. Not too far from town, but very peaceful.This home is a place we want to come back and see during Spring/Summer.

Thank you, Ashley. We’re happy to see that you had a 5-Star experience at Forest Creek Cabin. Come back soon!
The cabin was perfect for our needs. The property managers where attentive and helpful. Close to Monarch (4 minutes). Not too far off the main road but must have 4wd in winter as stated in info. Great experience.
