Great comfortable home, a must stay at.

The entire house is laid out very well, very clean and comfortable home. Beds are futon (which are usually hard) but these were comfy. Located in the forest and only 10 min drive to the middle of Niseko Hirafu and 30 mins from Rusutsu Resort. A vehicle is necessary to get around from here. Great kitchen and laundry facilities. Only upgrade should be a bigger TV (way to small) and newer Apple TV connector (very outdated).

Hi Rhonda, Thanks so much for your email. We are very happy that you had a good stay. And we look forward to welcoming you back. I will replace the connector for the Apple TV. Sorry that it did not work. It’s the first time we had a problem with it. And we are looking into getting a projector for a massive screen experience. Glad that everything else worked out though. All the best and safe travels. The Forest Hideaway Team

We thoroughly enjoyed our four night stay at the Forest Hideaway in Niseko! This ideal size chalet for the three of us really brought so much joy for our skiing trip. This was our first visit to the area and indeed there were plenty of accommodation options to choose from. However, we were so thrilled being away from the crowds of the resort areas. We usually stay in hotels, but the homely atmosphere really added solitude and calm to our holiday. We reveled in the opportunity to cook our own food and wash our clothes and spend time together as a family. Record snow levels created challenges with preparing the car, particularly in the morning. Yet this is something I enjoyed since I rent in the city and don’t get many opportunities to live like a local in the snow.Finally, the host has been outstanding with communication and advice throughout the booking process. He helped his gain knowledge in car rental options and equipment vendors. Clear, concise dialogue is what I appreciate the most - creating little to no surprises during the trip.Thank you for everything Greg for allowing us to be guests at your property. We will see you next time!

Perfect house for a ski vacation

Forest Hideaway is well managed with great communication to the guests. The house is in great condition and is a nice retreat after a long day of skiing. A vehicle is needed to get around, and there is a parking stall next to the house. I'd highly recommend staying here, and will stay here again if in the area.

It is - A Forest Hideaway!

A quiet location close to the Hilton Hotel and golf course, and close to Milk Kobo. A car is a must. The house has all the comforts of home and nothing is too difficult for the manager who lives a short distance away! A great stay for summer!

Forest Hideaway was a perfect house for our group of four skiers. Hosts were very helpful. Directions were clear and the location is amazing for skiing the Niseko region. A vehicle was essential to get around. Thanks host Greg and caretaker Melissa!

Apartment was like the pics or even better... there are plenty of towels to go around and the kitchen was fully equipped with dishwasher and utensils(coffee/tea making facilities). Bedroom and kitchen has floor heating which was perfect. Was surprise to see snowmobile on days of heavy snow that clear up the road early morning. Excellent owner and very helpful and friendly manager of the apartment which makes the stay even better. Tobaggan was even provided by Manager Melissa when she saw my family with 3 kids Thumbs up for excellent customer service Will stay again no doubt.
