Forrest Hills Mountain Resort

It was an impromptu adventure with the grandkids. We had an amazing stay!

We had an absolutely fantastic time. We stayrd in Treetops lodge and the rooms have been recently updated. We didnt have any nouse issues and the beds were comfortable. The futon/couch was nit comfortable so that did not leave any place other than the bed to sit. That would be my only complaint. The free breakfast buffet was top notch and we did have dinner one night on site. I appreciated that they had a private dining room for couples. No noisy groups and no kids. We will be visiting again!

Overall this property has much to offer: a lovely wooded setting at he edge of a forest, a friendly staff and good dining options including a hearty breakfast buffet and reasonably priced dinner items. There is a large general dining area but also a smaller intimate room--The Secret Garden-- reserved for couples or single adults. Parking and WiFi are free. But Forrest Resort has its shortcomings. Even when spacious as was mine, rooms have but one chair. The mattresses in my room were squeaky while sitting on them to watch TV--remember,1chair. And they were far too soft and spongy, not at all agreeable with my lower back. Some rooms are small and have child-height toilets, a nightmare for seniors. Rooms that do have higher ones are likely to have step over tub/showers with no safety grab bars. Facilities with a limited number of handicap accessible showers should at least have grab bars in bathrooms with tubs. And while tourist on the go might appreciate rooms with jetted tubs do they really use bathtubs? Perhaps most vexing was that there was no common inside area in which to lounge or escape inclement weather. If rain, heat or cold drive you inside, there is only your 1-chair room. More expensive cabins may have more seating? There is an outside fire pit for when weather permits. It is buy your-own-wood. Tree roots have caused some sidewalks to bulge making reaching rooms at night difficult along poorly lighted paths. Nonetheless, this a nice resort worth a visit.

Our stay at the Lodge was peaceful and romantic but thr only thing to do was go to a localized family zoo ..

My family enjoyed the rooms and stables. The crew at stables went above and beyond to make us feel safe and they worked with my son (8 year old) to ride a horse. Restaurant on site was excellent and staff very friendly. The whole trip was superb considering the nightmare we came from in blue ridge at Reid Ridge Lodge.

Been a repeat for me and my family sense 2014 always a pleasure

Service was top notch. The room could use an update, but overall very comfortable. The only issue we had was with the amount of children everywhere. We couldn't enjoy the pool for their screams.

Everyone was friendly, pleasant and very easy to talk with. If you need a quiet place to enjoy your family, friends or your spouse. This is the place to visit. I promise you will love it.

This was perfect for my family of four. It was the same rate as a basic hotel but had the feel of a mountain getaway. We will definitely consider returning next time we’re in the area.

This place is wonderful! It is a little out of the way from local towns, but we were not looking to be in the crowds. The staff were very friendly and helpful, made us feel like family. We were blown away with the dinner at the restaurant, the chefs blew us away, definitely not what we expected at a quiet, older resort. Don't miss it. We loved our quiet cabin in the woods, deer and birds abound, loved our hot tub. We wished the weather had been a little better so that we could have gone horse back riding. The horses appeared well cared for and the equestrian facilities are definitely not an afterthought addition to the resort.
