Our stay was spectacular. The house is an incredible size, and the front yard is huge! Plenty of parking. We ran into a problem with some doors being jammed, but the host communicated that keys were available. There is also a sign at the front door with that information, and other helpful cleanup information. Overall, a really great experience. I look forward to staying at this cottage again!!

you’re so glad you liked the size of our house. We made sure to make an incredible kitchen and gigantic great room, even and 8 smaller bedrooms. We are so blessed to have a parking lot that fits 30-50 cars. This amenity is left over from the days Forest Cottage used to be a preschool. I’m glad that when you locked yourself out of the bedroom (doors were not jammed—they are fine) you were able to locate the room key in one of the three locations we keep sets of room keys. We love hosting large groups and look forward to your return.

The main thing going well for this property is its size and capacity. It has 8 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, large living area and kitchen. It can really hold a lot of people and cars. The location is also pretty great, quite close to the American river related activities. However, there ends the good news.The house really needs a great deal of TLC. Of the 5 bathrooms, 2 are really small that you could barely stand in them. The bedding is really worn and smelly. Floors, walls and curtains are dusty. Utensils in the kitchen are in pretty poor condition too. The outdoor furniture and grill are dirty, and the play area is in dangerous condition where the metal slide is rusty and the swing snapped off when my 7 year old was using it, hurting him. For the price quote, or otherwise, I cannot recommend this place in the current condition.

Thank you for recognizing Forest Cottage’s spacious accommodations, ample parking, and convenient location near American River activities. We appreciate all guest feedback because it helps us continue improving the experience we provide. We take the safety of our outdoor play equipment very seriously. We are sorry to hear about the incident involving the swing, and we are addressing the hardware and inspecting the play area to ensure it is safe for future guests. We are also arranging additional deep cleaning of the kitchen and outdoor furniture, reviewing the condition of our bedding and kitchen utensils, and addressing the maintenance concerns raised in your review. Forest Cottage is designed to accommodate large groups, and we want every guest to feel comfortable and confident in the property. We appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention and are committed to making improvements for future stays.

We were a group of 21 and there was enough room for everybody. The host was very detailed with all the instructions and that was super useful. The place is beautiful and well maintained. Although we could not use the outdoor facilities due to bad weather, there is a pretty good outdoor space for kids to play.

Awesome Cottage

My family and I had a great time. We loved the privacy of the location. We loved our family time, exploring the rivers and lakes around the area, bbq in the evenings, and bon fires at night. Awesome and comfortable house!!!

I love Owl Creek, the American River--both the north and south forks and their confluence! Todd Pond is 1 mile away with bathrooms, tables and a nature walk, Upper and Lower Lake Clementine are amazing, and Morning Star lake and Sugarpine Reservoir are tops! All within minutes of Forest Cottage.

Great place for a large group with kids

The large outdoor play area, plethora of rooms and beds, and comfortable shared spaces makes this an amazing place for large groups with kids. Our group of 5 families with kids from 1 to 8 had a blast! A nearby grocery market makes for easy access to food and Auburn State Recreational Park (just 15 min drive away) is a fun place to hike and explore.

Our Family Reunion

Our family stayed at the Forest Cottage last month for our family reunion. The house was exactly what we needed for our large family. Plenty of space and beds for all. It was raining while we were there so the kids could not go out but the yard has a lot to offer for kids

We are so glad the children found things to do indoors at Forest Cottage. Rain or shine, the gaming closet at the cottage is a gold mine for kids. Besides the 50 board games and 5 TVs, kids can also find a group parachute, a tug-of-war rope, and even a TeePee in its arsenal of indoor activities.

Good spot for a gathering

Aurelia was super responsive to all of our messages. The house is in good shape and the kitchen is larger than it looks on the listing. We were hoping to use the deck, however it was under construction for our stay. We did need to spend some time cleaning up the place a bit more when we got there, but it wasn't too bad and the bedrooms and bathrooms were all in good shape. It is definitely a little cramped for larger (30+) groups, but for a short stay it's nice and we had a lovely time there!

Unique house in a beautiful location

I celebrated my 40th at Foresthill house with 12 of my close friends. We had a great time at the house, everyone had a bed, the kitchen was stocked and the hosts were so sweet. We found a great reservoir lake about 30 minutes away, but spent a ton of time at the house. The house feels like it’s all alone, yet it’s only about 15 minutes from Auburn. There is a Raley’s in auburn for easy access to groceries. We bbq’ed all and hung out by the fire pit at night. I would definitely stay there again for a similar occasion.
