About the host

Hosted by Brittany Gibbs

Host profile image
We’re Johnny and Brittany, co-owners of Forest Villas. What began as a single property has grown into our first full raw land development, built from the ground up with one goal.. creating unforgettable guest experiences.

Johnny was raised right here in the Allegheny National Forest region and brings an insider’s knowledge of the best trails, hidden gems, and local adventures. He’s not only a dedicated businessman and visionary host, but also a proud father who loves helping guests make the most of their stay.

Brittany first came to the area on a nursing contract and, after renting one of Johnny’s cabins, joined forces as co-owner and property manager. With a background in hospitality and a passion for guest care, she helps shape everything from quick response times to the little touches that make your stay feel like home.

We’re proud of what we’ve built, but more than anything, we’re excited to welcome you. Our cabins are more than just a place to stay… they’re a space for you to slow down, reconnect, and create the kind of memories you’ll never forget.

What makes this property unique

We pride ourselves on being available anytime a guest needs us with a 100% response rate on other platforms and donned with a Super Host title! While this cabin and listing are both new to VRBO, we can’t wait to fill up the reviews. Being able to provide you with an amazing experience is at the core of our passion.

We are located between the Allegheny national forest and the infamous cooks forest. There are several trails of varying degrees of difficulty and composure. We are very well known for hunting, fishing, and snowmobiling as well. If that is not your cup of tea, we are only a few minutes from the Allegheny National River. Pick a Cove and jump in or along the river front, there is a canoe/raft rental company that also provides transportation!

While in town most any essential need is available and the small close knit community will make you feel like family. Marienville is truly a hidden gem!
