Pin Oak at Forest Villas: Swing Fire Pit Cabin, Pet-Friendly, Cook Forest

Pin Oak is one of four pet-friendly cabins at Forest Villas, with one
feature most cabins around here can't match: your own swing fire pit.

kids never want to leave.

- ATV, snowmobile, and recreation travelers (room for trucks + trailers)
- Bigfoot Festival weekend visitors looking for walking-distance lodging
- Remote workers who need full cell reception and high-speed Wi-Fi

What's unique to Pin Oak:
- Swing fire pit area: 4 hanging swings around a cinder block fire pit
on a rustic timber pergola, with hanging lanterns
- Front-yard cushioned lounge with a fire pit table on log-fenced
area

porch is a great rainy-day spot, and the 4-acre property gives them room
to stretch. Please keep pets leashed.

What to know before booking:
- Cabin is 510 sqft... cozy, efficient, well-laid-out
- Gravel shared driveway (year-round accessible)
- Real closed-door private bedroom

Cozy and updated. It was perfect for us and our pups. It was clean and well maintained and a great location for that area. We would have enjoyed the fire pit in the back yard but there was a foot of snow on the ground so we couldn’t use it at that time.

The hosts were friendly. We had a minor problem when we first arrived but was able to resolve it right away. The property was nice, exactly like the photos. No surprises. We stayed during the winter and so although we werent able to take advantage of everything nearby, it was still very nice to stay for the weekend. We own a camper and rarely stay elsewhere, so this was a great spot to hang for a weekend getaway to Cook Forest.

This place was absolutely perfect for a weekend getaway with my boyfriend. Aside from the coziness and excellent amenities, we were greeted by a leucistic deer in the backyard on several occasions. That’s as close as I’ll ever get to seeing a unicorn in the wild!! We’ll definitely be coming back!
Absolutely perfect fire pit setup
Leucistic deer that we named Lucy!
