Our stay at Forrest Hills Resort was refreshing, especially with the peaceful environment and beautiful natural surroundings. The cabin we stayed in was quite comfortable and had a cozy feel with a gas fireplace and a jacuzzi. However, there were some areas that could use improvements, particularly the lack of daily housekeeping and a few amenities. Overall, it’s a great spot if you want to escape into nature and enjoy some outdoor activities.

Our stay was a blend of highs and lows. The Wilderness lodge provided us with a spacious and clean room that was updated nicely, which was a definite plus. However, there were frustrating issues like the dinner buffet not living up to expectations and some disappointments in cleanliness, particularly in the Tree Topper Lodge. Still, the serene environment and nearby activities made for a relaxing getaway overall.
