Peaceful Getaway

This house is so deep in the middle of Chautauqua County, it’s almost isolated. It was wonderful. It did rain the entire time we were there but we were still able to enjoy the peaceful quiet country. There were koi fish in the pond that came to the surface occasionally The inside was lovely, giving you that rustic cabin charm The floor plan is open which was nice for a family dinner. I was able to put out crock pots with food for people. There is a coffee station (Keurig) just outside the kitchen which I liked because it kept people out of the way as I prepared food. The stove/oven looks intimidating but it’s not. It’s a regular gas stovetop and oven, very easy to use I will consider this location again when we visit next time

Family get together

The house and surrounding yard is perfect if you want to have privacy and enjoy nature. The pond is great. Saw some geese, a deer and a heron on the pond. Had a nice fire in the outside fire pit. Unfortunately it rained for 3 days while we were there, but enjoyed some board games and a trip to Niagara Falls.

Relaxing Getaway

I took my 3 teenage children here for a long weekend. The cabin was clean and cozy. The property was beautiful! I wish we could have stayed longer and will look to book again in the future. We enjoyed hiking local trails and my boys fished the pond and caught several bass. It was a great weekend trip!

Relaxing Forest Retreat

Forest Retreat is beautifully located by state forest area. The trees, the large pond in the backyard, and the natural setting are very enjoyable. Also, it is centrally located near so many activities and places to see. The home was very well set up with everything we needed, and the views through the large windows were breathtaking. It was a wonderful stay, and we highly recommend Forest Retreat!
