5 bedrooms! Beautiful Mountain Retreat
This is a perfect getaway for large families, a work retreat or just getting away from the business of life! Our cabin features 5 bedrooms plus a loft, 4 full bathrooms, large patio with a wood burning fireplace, full kitchen with all cooking amenities and plenty of toys and games for the kids. We have four children between my brother's family and ours and always have additional families up for the weekend. There is plenty of room for everyone, with our favorite times sitting on the patio while the kids explore the great outdoors!
We are tucked away on a cul-de-sac street and back to the mountain preserve. Horseback riding is available within a couple miles from the cabin, as well as, many hiking trails and seven cold water lakes. There is much to do for those that enjoy the outdoors!

The house is amazing! So spacious, and the patio with outdoor fireplace is perfect. More than enough room for our children and grand children. The house is equipped with everything you could imagine. This house is perfect for a winter or summer getaway. We will rent again for sure.
This is one, if not the largest rental property in Forest Lakes. It was perfect for our family gathering up North. John communicates promptly and the instruction packet is VERY detailed. Perfect VRBO experience, would highly recommend renting this large cabin.
We love Forest Lakes and we love the Gillis cabin.Has plenty of room for everyone. We have stayed up and did a snow trip In February and we just did an end of school trip.
My husband and I made a return visit with our married daughters and two grand daughters. We enjoyed an incredible snow filled weekend. The fireplaces got lots of use! Amazing stay once again!
A perfect cabin for families to celebrate time together! Beautiful inside and outside! Patio fireplace to relax and enjoy! Great location and access to the forest!
Our third summer staying at this property. Great for large families. The weather in June was excellent and allowed us to eat dinners on their beautiful large front porch. Zero complaints highly recommend. Close to good fishing at Willow Springs and Woods Canyon Lakes. We also enjoyed Horseback Riding at nearby stables.
This place is awesome. Very clean and quiet. Backs up to National Forest. Great hikes and good times BBQ on the huge deck and fireplace. Highly recommend this cabin.
We've stayed here several times. We love this place, plenty of room for the whole family. We love having a big beautiful fire in the fireplace in the patio!! Especially when its snowing. We will back again soon!
We loved the Cabin we stayed at. The cabin was beautiful, lots of room/space. The outside view was amazing. The house was furnished with everything and didn’t need to take nothing. We look foward to coming back and renting the same exact cabin.
My family (Our kids, grandkids, and dogs) gets together in a cabin every year and this is the best one so far! We spent almost every night around the outside fireplace playing games and drinking coffee/hot chocolate. The deck and the dog run are both enclosed, so it made it easy on the dogs and it was great having the two master bedrooms. We would definitely stay here again!
This was our second stay here. It was fabulous! The location is beautiful and so quiet. We had our married daughters and husbands with us and the is abundant room and it is very well equipped. We were already planning our next stay while we were there:) We also had our dogs and they loved it too!
This is the 2nd time we have stayed here and it was as wonderful as the first. Very spacious. Love the gas fireplace and outside fireplace. Plenty of blankets to keep us warm. We played in the snow. A great time was had by all of us!
We were looking for a quick weekend getaway away from the city and the heat and this definitely fit the bill. It is a wonderful location, and it worked perfectly for our large family (my husband and I, our grown kids, and our grandkids, along with our dogs). The large porch is a great place to hang out, and we loved the fact that it backed right up to the National Forest. The house has great space and plenty of amenities. We could tell that the owners took great care of the place and seemed to think of everything. We would definitely stay here again.
Lots of room for everyone and the cabin is in a very peaceful place in Forest Lakes. Because of the location it feels like you are the only cabin in the area if you are inside or out on the deck. The deck is fantastic, big, and with the fireplace, a perfect place to sit and relax with the family. Our 5th time here and we will hopefully be back for more. Thank you
We go up north often and this trip was by far the best! Cabin was clean, well organized, and the little touches made it first class! The set up was perfect for what we and our fur babies needed! And for the first time we’ve ever rented, the owner called us to ask us if we were enjoying our stay. Again, first class all the way rent this cabin and have a great experience like we did.!
My family and I had a wonderful time and would come back. Pictures really didn’t do it justice in terms of the size. PLENTY of space for my family of 5, and my mom with plenty of room to spare. Location was beautiful, and we loved our mornings at the various lakes/hiking, and our afternoons relaxing on the extra large patio and grilling. Thank you!
My family and I go to Forest Lakes every 4 th of July. This is the first time staying in this cabin and hopefully won’t be the last. The cabin had everything we needed plus more . The host was super responsive to all my questions that came up. Very thankful for amazing service and the cleanliness, along w all the ample . The large patio with the fire pit and plenty of sitting areas was our favorite part and place to hang out :). Thank you
What a beautiful cabin!! This cabin was the perfect setting for our family weekend with our 3 grown daughters and their spouses. This property is set in a quiet neighborhood that backs up to the woods. There was plenty of space for the 8 adults and an 18 month old. The dogs really loved the woods, the trails nearby and the outdoor patio area. We all spent a lot of time on the outdoor covered patio enjoying the fires in the fireplace and the cool fresh air. The dog run was really convenient too. We will definitely come back!
Winter storm ruined our family camping plans but we feel so lucky that we were able to find this awesome place. Great location! The place easily accommodated our family of 9 and our 2 dogs. The snow was beautiful and everyone had a great time building snowmen and sledding. We used the fireplace out front daily for relaxing watching the snow and making smores. Everything was clean, stocked, and worked properly. Ready to come back in the summer time to enjoy all the hiking trails and lakes!
We've stayed at this cabin for years and love it! There is plenty of sleeping room for 3 families and our kids as they've grown up. Beautiful deck, and a terrific outdoor fireplace to enjoy the evenings. We bring our bocce and cornhole to have fun around the cabin, and also our dogs for walks around the neighborhood. The large table in the kitchen is perfect for our entire group to enjoy dinner together, or play board games and cards. We are so grateful to the owners for sharing their beautiful cabin with us year after year - it is part of our family's (and our friends') treasured memories.
This property exceeded all of our expectations from beginning to end. John checked in with us the day we arrived to make sure we found the place, which we all appreciated. To me it shows he cared and I liked the personal touch. I must say that we all shared the same opinion that the pictures really don’t show just how beautiful and clean the place is. The outdoor deck with the fire pit was my favorite and the hosts spoiled us with a welcome gift filled with everything to make s’mores. This was my 5 year old’s favorite and her smile said it all. Beds were all over the place (in a good way) to comfortably sleep 10+ and there is a fenced dog run with a doggy door so you don’t worry about your pets when they need to go outside. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!!
