Cute little cabin

The cabin was all we needed. It was clean, kept us warm, and had nice amenities. The owner was kind, had great communication, and was available if we needed anything. It was a short drive to Cooks forest, so we made that drive for some hikes every day of our stay. Great experience! Thank you!!

Backyard dreams

A small house that had just what we needed for the two of us and my dog. Very relaxing and loved the backyard, we went on a rainy weekend, so I can only imagine using the backyard having a cookout on a nice weekend!

Review of Mossy Oak Villa

Beautiful setting, fairly remote and quiet. Lodgings were lovely: rustic in appearance but fully appointed and modern with backyard activities.

Clean, fun & gorgeous cabin!

Stayed here with my two kids and we had a blast! Had a few questions for the host that were answered immediately. The cabin was well equipped, clean and we had a blast. We all enjoyed the swings by the fire pit & ax throwing!!!!

Small Cozy Cabin

We had a mostly positive stay at the this cabin. The cabin is small, cozy and seems recently built. When arriving we did not have a comforter on our bed but the owner was able to bring one within a few hours. The backyard was big and the axe throwing and firepit look like a great time, but we got unlucky with a snow/rain storm during our stay. The cabin was pretty clean except for some hair in the shower and a cigarette butt on a window sill. The shower is big and has dispensers for soap but ours were empty. The WiFi only worked for the tv and not our devices. Other than the bad weather we had a nice stay.

Amazing

Had a weekend getaway here and it was amazing. The cabin was clean and spacious, the staff was on spot with all questions and even hooked us up in light of the rain we had prior to our stay. Will definitely be going back here and recommend anyone who wants a weekend away in a quiet little area to go here. Thanks again Brittany

Like new little cabin

It was small but in very good shape! We made it work fine with two teens and two dogs Kids Loved the outdoor Axe throwing! Huge hit! Only downside was although decorative the outdoor walkways were hard to walk on Several times stumps came up and caught our feet We went around and used grassy areas Staff was very helpful Checked in on us several times to make sure we didn’t need anything!!

Cute and Comfy Cabin

Me, the hubby, and the pup decided to go away for a long weekend. We looked what was available that was close but not too close. This little cabin fit the bill. The cabin was small but comfy. There was a well equipped kitchen and a nice living room area with good tv and wifi. There is a small bedroom and a nice bathroom (the shower is very large). The outdoor area is wonderful as well. Our cabin had an ax throwing area (which we loved!!!) and a nice fire pit area. There was also a patio at the back and a nice, large front porch. And it was clean which is very important. It was close to everything we wanted to see and do which included hiking in Cook's Forest (which is beautiful and right up the road). Brittany was wonderful! Any questions we had were answered immediately. We would love to go back in the future!

Great place - loved the outdoor amenities—WiFi was spotty at best

Place was mostly great. Loved the outdoors amenities. Firepit with swings and axe throwing were great. Small but roomy interior. The WiFi - was very spotty - could not keep any devices online - the TV worked great but the WiFi for the cabin was not usable - my wife and child could not get online to do anything- also only had 3 Forks - luckily there were only 3 of us. Great stay except for the lack of WiFi - could not contact the property manager as the message the property owner would not work on VRBO (not sure if this was an app problem, a WiFi problem, or an issue with the property manager) was going to ask about WiFi & where to put full garbage - also the online VRBO listing says there is a hot tub - did not see any pictures so did not think there was one but should be removed from listing for the future

About the host

Hosted by Brittany Gibbs

Host profile image
This will be a Forest Villas very first season in service! The founder is named Johnny, and I am Brittany, co-owner and property manager. We met the first season of our other property, and I was fortunate enough to be able to help shape and mold everything we offer our guests. We pride ourselves on providing outstanding customer service, quick response times, and of course customer satisfaction. This is our first raw land commercial development. It has been an amazing amount of work, and more rewarding than I could have anticipated.

Johnny was raised in this area and has a insiders understanding of not only how to provide the best experience for the guests, he is also a great resource if guests are looking for something in particular. He is a loving father (Pic above), dedicated businessman, and a truly talented visionary.

I came to this area three and a half years ago on a nursing contract and rented one of his units. It wasn’t long before I was presented with the opportunity to be part of this special company. Since then, it has been an amazing adventure. We take pride in what we have created, tho being able to provide a home away from home, a space just waiting to see what kind of unforgettable memories you'll make, has been the mot special part. We can't wait to host you too!

Why they chose this property

Amazing location conveniently located off Rt 66. Easy access to town and minutes away from a plethora of activities from wine tastings, to hunting and fishing, or simply relaxing in the river after a hike in the woods. Recently renovated and jam-packed with amenities; we can’t wait to share our space with you.

What makes this property unique

We pride ourselves on being available anytime a guest needs us with a 100% response rate on other platforms and donned with a Super Host title! While this cabin and listing are both new to VRBO, we can’t wait to fill up the reviews. Being able to provide you with an amazing experience is at the core of our passion.

We are located between the Allegheny national forest and the infamous cooks forest. There are several trails of varying degrees of difficulty and composure. We are very well known for hunting, fishing, and snowmobiling as well. If that is not your cup of tea, we are only a few minutes from the Allegheny National River. Pick a Cove and jump in or along the river front, there is a canoe/raft rental company that also provides transportation!

While in town most any essential need is available and the small close knit community will make you feel like family. Marienville is truly a hidden gem!
