Property was immaculate, clean and tidy beds, excellent amenities with everything functioning properly / as it should. A nice perk was that a lot of the lights had dimmer switches. Fans / split units for temperature control to your liking. We would and have discussed coming back again. Property owners were very responsive.

What a wonder time our family had at the Forest Chalet. Andy and Michelle were the best hosts ! Their home is beautiful and clean. The decor is exquisite. Everything you need and more is right at your fingertips. They have thought of everything ! The downstairs game room with the 85 inch TV and a big popcorn maker was a BIG hit with the four boys, but so was the pickleball court and the hot tub. The hiking and dining were great too, but coming back to the Forest Chalet and all that was waiting for us there at the end of a day made this vacation our best yet !
That Game room was great for watching some of our favorites. Now we need a much bigger TV. Lol
The deer came to see us everyday .
The boys giving darts a try !
Deer out for a stroll.

Absolutely loved our stay at the forest chalet. The home was spotless and well stocked. Loved having linens included along with basic paper goods. Always nice having less to pack! The home was cozy and had so much to do to keep our families entertained. Loved all the modern upgrades on property. The managers were easy to communicate with. The only thing I’d suggest is adding a drying rack for dishes! Will absolutely be back.

We had a very happy, relaxing get away. The house is located close to various places to visit. Jim Thorpe, Hawk Falls, a butterfly farm. The property was perfect for our family. The three levels of the chalet were what we needed. The amenities are well thought out. I really recommend this property if you are looking for a family get away.
