We had a great stay at Forest’s Edge. The place was exactly as described, clean, comfortable, well set up with lovely amenities, and more! An absolute gem. The outdoor areas are simply transporting with the sounds of the gorge below, twinkly lights, and as the name implies, surrounded by a private forest of mature pine trees. Felt more like an estate! The location is ideal, a short, but lovely stroll to the heart of downtown, gorge access, the Mill, and so many great restaurants.Our hosts were very forthcoming and communication was excellent throughout. Everything was smooth from check-in to check-out. Would HIGHLY recommend Forest's Edge, and would definitely stay again.
