Close to town, lovely quiet setting. The wall of windows facing the lake gives you the feeling you’re in the trees. Beautiful big stone gas fireplace gives the place a woodsy cabin feel. Love the knotty pine. Comfortable furniture, all the cable channels you need. Full kitchen, bath is spacious and there is a separate bedroom. Our third stay on this property, Woodsong twice and Fern Glen once. Will definitely be back.
We highly recommend Shawnee Forest Cabins! We had a lovely weekend getaway and the first trip for me and my boyfriend. The cabin was in a great location, beautiful and well equipped. The hot tub was much needed after a long day of hiking the area. The only drawback for me was the very firm mattress (I prefer a softer feel) and will remind me to ask the type of mattress in my future stays elsewhere. The whole experience from booking to the time we left was very low maintenance and easy. They routinely checked in with us via email to confirm everything was as expected and to offer any assistance.

Amazing stay at the treehouse. The property was quiet and secluded. The cabin itself was new, well appointed and very clean. The bed was comfortable and the spiral staircase up to the loft was a fun way to get to bed. The crown jewel in this cabin is of course the private hot tub across a lighted bridge. It was very romantic and very unique. Everything worked well, and we saw the Milky Way at night roasting marshmallows by our private fire pit. Best “glamping” cabin stay we’ve ever had, and I would highly recommend staying here in the future. Loved it!
