I am so grateful that the owners of this property are willing to share this peaceful haven with others. What a gift! I'm looking forward to returning again and again.

The host was not particularly welcoming; there were opportunities for the host to be more proactive, i.e.., by letting us know when the property was ready by text or telephone number. We would also have appreciated the host letting us know whether our security deposit was refunded without having to inquire.

Reviewer Comments:
This was our 2nd time staying in the Forest House. We knew it was wonderful for peaceful relaxation, and that's what we did. The views are so beautiful that just staying in the house is a treat. The kitchen is well appointed for whatever cooking you have in mind. And you can go for walks from the front door. Why go anywhere else?

This was our third stay at Forest House and we plan to return whenever possible. It is clear that the owners love this home as much as we love sharing it with them. With the exquisite photographs, memorabilia from around the world, and care in maintaining this architecture marvel, be ready for a restful and rejuvenating experience.
