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.

on a rustic timber pergola, with hanging lanterns
- Front-yard cushioned lounge with a fire pit table on log-fenced

Pets:
We welcome dogs. $30 non-refundable pet fee per stay. The covered front
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
- Quiet, residential feel... no industrial noise

other Forest Villas cabins... swing fire pit and front lounge are yours

Book Pin Oak for the cabin night that becomes the kids' favorite memory.
Or for the quiet adult evening swinging around a fire under the pines.

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.

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.

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights with our two dogs to check the area out. The cabin was very comfortable and peaceful. Johnny and Brittany were very accommodating to us when bad weather was about to come in. They were willing to give us early check in to try and beat the storm but also said the cabin was available the night before so we would not get caught in it. Probably got around 6-7 inches of snow while we were there. It was beautiful. We took the dogs on the trails in the woods in the snow, saw group of deer every morning and evening, including a special albino deer. We will definitely return and hope to snowmobile there soon!

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

The cabin was nice for two people. However, it is advertised that it sleeps five. However, there were no linens for any of the sleeping areas except for the one bed. In addition, there were only 3 towels in bathroom. The kitchen was equipped for plates and dinnerware for only two people. I would recommend if two people but definitely not for any more than that.

This cabin was not equal to others we have stayed in around the Cook Forest area. The outdoor seating in front of the cabin was in disarray and the cabin itself wasn't as clean as I would like. There was a dirty sock on the floor (not ours) and the carpet as well as the grey futon had stains and that all made me question things. The bathroom and kitchen were clean. The location is great and it was nice and quiet there.

Cozy, relaxing piece of heaven .

The kids and I loved our stay at this cabin. It was peaceful, and filled with walkable adventures for the kids. Johnny was an amazing host . Everything we needed PLUS was provided for our stay. The cabin was clean and adorable. Our 4 legged family member had just as much fun as we did during our stay. The trails to walk with the kids were gorgeous! We saw several different animals pretty up close in the yard and surrounding forest . Deer, ground hogs, squirrels, frogs and chipmunks ! I highly recommend this place for peace and adventures . We will 100% return . Check in was so easy . Communication with the hosts was timely and regular !

We really enjoyed our time at the cabin, but there were a few things that tarnished the experience. 1. Communication was broken, so it was difficult to get a hold of someone. 2. We were delayed getting into our cabin due to property not getting cleaned before our check-in time. 3. Had to purchase our own toilet paper since we only had less than 1/2 a roll to begin with and received more 12 hours after sending message 4. Partial refund offered, but was not delivered to dateSuper cute place, but just come prepared with essentials.

Awesome cabin rental

Our family rented this cozy cabin for the week. There are so many different activities to do near by. We enjoyed making mountain pie pizzas and s'more's every night and cooking burgers and steaks on the grill. There is lots a things to do on site like biking, axe throwing and catching frogs in the pond. Double diamond deer ranch and Farmers inn are close by. We explored many trails in the woods with some amazing bridges. It was so hot during our stay, AC in the cabin was a life saver. We visited the community pool near by and swam in the creek to cool off. The host was very responsive and friendly. We will definitely book this rental again in the future.
