We had a wonderful time at Fern Valley Cabin. The location was peaceful and quiet, perfect for a winter getaway. The cabin was immaculate and was decorated beautifully for the winter holidays. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for evening meals. They even had a raised bed and supplies for our dog, who loved the experience. Kris was very friendly and responsive----the perfect host! We will definitely return!

About the host

Hosted by Kris Callen

Host profile image
We live near Moraine State Park, and enjoy everything outdoors.
Our family has spent our past several vacations touring our country's magnificent National and State Parks, and always stay in a short term rental.
From our experiences as guests, we strive to provide you all the necessities for a relaxing stay. From the basics of linens and soap, to flavored coffee creamers and a tie-out for your dog! You will find area information in our Guest Binder, along with a booklet you can take as a reference.

Why they chose this property

This location offers both privacy and convenience.
It is very easy to get to, and sits on an acre of ferns and pines. The surrounding homes are a mix of well-maintained seasonal and full-time homes.
If you are visiting Cook Forest, the fun park is a mere 2 minutes away, and the Visitor Center is just a 5 minute drive. If you spend the day hiking, kayaking, or go-karting, you can relax when you return to the cabin!
The property is peaceful, and you can enjoy some s'mores around the bonfire without interfering with neighbors.
We hope you choose us to host you!
