What a beautiful property!!
This property was perfect for our family Christmas. Beautiful all around. The home was cozy and roomy at the same time. Well decorated and everything we needed was there. Plenty of rooms for everyone and the game room was a big hit! Would love to stay here again in the summer.

Amazing place for Retreat
I hosted 8 guests for a yoga & wellness retreat. Alicia set us up with options for massage and horseback riding and was responsive with any questions. The trails are beautifully marked and we wandered through the woods down to the creek and waterfall. The campsites are groomed and marked clearly with a modern and updated bathhouse just for them. The rooms are clean and cozy. So many towels and blankets for extra convenience. The beautiful outdoor deck was perfect for sunset views, sound bath and yoga. We can’t wait to go back for next year.

Great family retreat!
Lots of room, great hiking from the house, two areas where groups of people could comfortably congregate. There were two kitchens! The family staying downstairs (one of my sons and his partner and my brother-in-law and his daughter) stored their drinks and snacks downstairs. There is an outside entrance to the downstairs family room and kitchen. If you fill all the bedrooms, the bathroom situation will be a little tight. There is one full bath in the master, another full bath upstairs that the other three bedrooms share, a third full bath upstairs between the kitchen and the fifth bedroom upstairs and a full bath downstairs for the two bedrooms to share. The house easily accommodated 14 people. Several of the generation in their 20's and 30's hiked down to the river. Deer and turkeys came right up to the house and hung out. There was even a baby deer on the property. The property manager was friendly, responsive and very accommodating, offering to find vendors for the various activities we planned. This is a very comfortable house with all the amenities.

Really enjoyed our stay
This property was the perfect place for our wedding party to stay. We got married in the area, and this house was nearly big enough to accommodate all of us. My only comment would be to possibly have more trash bags available to the guests, maybe under the kitchen sink? While completing the checkout list, taking all the trash to the big trash cans would have been easier if there were more large trash bags available. Overall, great stay! Thanks!

Family reunion
This place was amazing! We had a very large group and had everything we needed. There were well maintained walking trails, plenty of chairs and areas to sit and enjoy the outdoors, and a wide variety of games and activities for ALL ages available (indoor and outdoor). Alicia, our host, was super helpful. If I could give this place 10 stars, I would!

Magical!
Our group of 16 had an amazing stay here! We are a group of homeschooling families and we all found comfy spots to sleep. The beds and bedding are all comfy and in great condition. Everything was clean and well supplied. Several people in the group love to cook and appreciated the very well-stocked kitchen. There were many different areas in the the house so that people could do different activities but there was also room for us all to be together. And it is beautiful outside! The view from the deck is gorgeous. We went on some really special hikes on the property and didn't feel the need to go explore elsewhere, actually! Several members of the group went horseback riding and said it was really an exceptional experience. When we reached out to the host with any questions, she responded quickly and seemed happy to help. We plan to go back for sure!

Comfortable, roomy house
This house fit our needs perfectly, with separation between children and adults. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The house was in an area that provided hikes and seclusion. The property manager was very responsive to needs and questions, and we had no problems. We would definitely come back. Thank you.

The homestead was a perfect home base for our large group getaway. It was clean, spacious and close to the river and town. Will definitely be back and recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing place with plenty of outdoor activities.

85th Birthday Celebration
Children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren gathered here for the weekend to celebrate our matriarch's 85th birthday. We filled every bedroom plus the fold out couches and made use of both kitchens plus the game room. Hiking the fabulous network of trails was a highlight! This is an amazing property for a group like ours, with space for everyone to stay and dine together. It's not too fancy, (a plus for us) very clean and thoughtfully stocked with all the necessities. The deck overlooking the canyon is a great place to relax in the daytime and stargaze at night. There was something for everyone in our diverse collection of ages and interests; we look forward to returning for another stay soon!

Great place with lots of room and things to do—will stay again
This was our third time staying at the Forest Homestead. It’s hard to find a nice place with room for 10 adults, 7 kids, and 3 dogs that also has things to do on the property or nearby. The house is large and has plenty of comfortable spaces for eating, playing games, hanging out, and entertaining the kiddos (ages 10m to pre-teens). When the weather is nice, we’ve enjoyed frisbee golf and the outdoor lounging areas. This year we drove about 35 minutes to play in the snow and everyone enjoyed hiking the property or down to the water — there are lots of options depending on energy level and abilities. Communicating with Alicia is extremely easy as are the check in and out procedures. We enjoyed our stay once again and plan to come back.

Family fun with doggos
Plenty of space and beds for all the grown ups in our group! We cooked amazing meals in the roomy kitchen and ate at the big dining table. We hiked around the beautiful trails and found the Moss house. The dog run was spacious and perfect for a 3yr old chocolate lab. We can’t wait to come back.

Off the Beaten Path
The location is wonderful if you go and stay and do not want to leave the property once you are there. If you want to visit friends or go into town, the road is windy and long. The draw to the place is the outside with trails and privacy. The house itself is tired and uninteresting with no relationship to the outside: balconies, windows, or porches. There are lots of beds and baths to accommodate a large group but lacked any kind of architectural integrity or ambiance. The kitchen has very little in the way of pots, pans, bowls, trays, or cooking utensils. Most of the kitchen cabinets were completely bare. The house was overall clean but end tables, tv, etc were dusty and the entire place needs a good scrub down and a little TLC. It was nice to have a couple of little Christmas trees inside but most of the strand of lights didn't go on-it was a little lame. Our family will not be renting this house again.

Perfect Family Vacation
We vacation every year with the kids and grandkids. As our family has grown it has become more and more difficult to find a place to accommodate our group. This house met all of our needs! Comfy beds, large kitchens, plenty of bathrooms, lots of outdoor seating. The game room was a huge hit and provided hours of entertainment, especially for the young adults. The view from the deck is spectacular! We appreciate that our dogs, important members of our family, were welcome too. Alicia and Mike were wonderful hosts. This was probably our best trip ever.

Elizaldi and Gonzalez Family Trip
The property is beautiful and the house is very cozy. Our families and dogs enjoyed the trails, the river and it natural water falls. Also having two stories gave some sense of independence to our teens as the took over the lower level of the house. We are very thankful in letting us stay and are looking forward in making it an annual family vacation spot.
