A rustic comfortable cabin that had plenty of room for 5 of us. The fire place was cozy and the pre-cut wood almost unlimited. The kitchen allowed us to make Thanksgiving leftovers, pancakes and homemade pizza. I would recommend this cabin to anyone!

Great Convenient Stay

Property is easy to access, located near many local hiking trails, and convenient to groceries and necessities if needed. Plenty of space for a larger group but also not too big for our small family of 3. Thanks for a great stay!

Perfect!!!!

We had an awesome time at the Forest House. We were able to meet our thru hiker son at the halfway mark on the Appalachian Trail and had a wonderful time relaxing at the house. The house is very well stocked; clean, comfortable, and beautiful. The fire pit and backyard space is so relaxing as is the surrounding area. We are already planning another visit and can't wait! Definitely a 5 star rental!!

Cozy cabin

We greatly enjoyed our stay in this cozy cabin. It was very clean, orderly and less then an hour away from Gettysburg, where we went to for the civil war reenactment. I highly recommend this cabin! Our kids also loved it, especially the cozy little loft area. Thanks for a great stay!

Why they chose this property

We have worked really hard to make The Forest House nice, clean, fun and most of all affordable. Folks tell us that we should be charging more—but, quite frankly, we are tired of being priced out of vacation homes ourselves. In return, we ask folks to take care of the place and help keep the magic alive. Have a great stay. The Forest House @ Lake Warren Estates

What makes this property unique

This is a "cabin" only by name. This is a luxury log home with granite countertops. The best of the best. Heat, AC, Internet, etc. with all the creature comforts of home.
