Lake Forest is more of a lodge than a cabin. It has been built in the "post and beam" architecture of the Pacific Northwest, with wood and beams coming from Washington State and British Columbia. It sits on over 12 wooded acres, on a five acre private lake (only shared by the sister cabin named Serendipity Park), adjacent to state forest and a large land conservation area protected from development. The entrance drive is private and beautiful. It's as though you are driving through Brown County State Park. The entrance is enhanced by a short, easy ramp as well as steps, so that a wheelchair or mobility cart can easily access the lodge.
The Master and an additional bedroom are on the main level, and two additional bedrooms are on the lower, walk-out area facing the lake. All have king beds and exceptional views. The Master Bath (main level) is handicapped accessible. The doors to the Master Suite and bath are oversize 34" doors for wheelchair access. The second main level bedroom is adjacent to another full bath with tub/shower. In addition there is a powder room off the main living area.
The large kitchen has solid cherry cabinets, and is open to the dining and living areas. A large island provides seating for intimate gatherings. The dining area has a solid white oak table made by the owner, seating eight. A huge stone fireplace and expansive windows dominate the main living area. Outside on the main level, a deck runs the length of the lodge, plenty of space for your entire group to dine al fresco.
Off the dining area two sliding, eight foot tall oak doors on barn hardware slide open to reveal a large enclosed all-season porch with large windows and a comfy hide-a-bed. And another spectacular view. The open stairway from main level to lower level has a custom iron work railing depicting a blue heron, dragonflies, and cattails, made by a well-known Brown County artisan.
On the lower level there is a large gathering room with pool table and wet bar with an under counter beverage cooler. Two additional bedrooms flank the central gathering room, as does a full bath with double vanities and a tub/shower. One of the bedrooms has a second bonus room. Step outside and into the large hot tub with seating for eight! Lake Forest contains over 3000 square feet of custom designed space suitable for larger families or up to four couples.
This lodge was designed for peace and quiet and comfort. We hope you enjoy your stay!
Sharing part of the same property is one of our sister cabins, Serendipity Park. While the two cabins are both located on the same 70 acre property, neither house is visible from the other, so your privacy (except shared lake) won't be interrupted. The fact that the cabins share the same property is very handy for families or group of friends who desire two cabins being fairly close together.

The house was clean and perfect for my entire family. We had an infant and a two year old so the basement was great for noise.

We enjoyed another lovely stay at Lake Forest. Since we have stayed there before, as well as at other HOB properties, we were familiar with much of the information but would be helpful to anyone new to HOB. And it never hurts to be reminded of procedures.
The Troubadour to Your door option was an interesting addition! Perhaps something to do on a longer stay. We especially like the fact that all the beds are king-size, and plenty of bathrooms!

We had a wonderful stay! The poles were a nice touch! We loved the view and and the cabin was beautiful! We had the best weather! The R and R we all needed! Thank you for letting us rest in your cabin. We will definitely return! No complaints here.

We spent last weekend at the Lake Forest Cabin with friends of 35 years. It was such a great time. The cabin was perfect for our group. As typical with your cabins, everything was very clean and nicely appointed. Communication from you was great and explained everything.
The woman who checked me in was very friendly! I forgot to get her name but she was friendly and very informative. I really appreciated the early check in. It made a big difference to us.
We absolutely loved the house! Great location everything we expected. Communication was great! However there were a couple of things we didn’t like.
We didn’t like having to drive to the office to pick up our key and driving it back to the office. That took us completely out of our way and back.
We also didn’t like that there was no where to dispose of trash. Except to drive it back to the office which is not convenient at all.

We had another fun year for our girls get away. The Forest Lake cabin was very nice, with sufficient amenities, ample space, comfortable beds and a lovely deck overlooking the lake. We had some frustrations negotiating the T.V. and the hot tub did not work for us. Already thinking ahead to next year’s get away.
Could not have gone any better. The house was amazing, cozy, and completely spotless. Well worth the money and will definitely try to stay here again.

Thank you for reaching out. The emails sent prior to my stay were very helpful and much appreciated. I am a repeat customer since 2013 and always enjoy booking with your company.

Our stay was absolutely perfect! That cabin was just beautiful. Went on-line to book again for October but of course it all was booked. Looking forward to coming back in the near future!
Beautiful location and easy great service

Hello, we enjoyed our time at Lake Forest very much! It was very spacious, updated and has wonderful views. To answer your questions regarding the emails, YES, I appreciated both emails with the information. They gave us all the information we needed. I was also glad to receive them just to confirm everything is still in order!
Lake Forest is a beautiful, secluded, quiet place to enjoy nature all around you. It is spacious, has a gas grill on the deck, and a hottub on the patio. All around great place. Only about 10 minutes from shopping in Nashville. We enjoyed our time there and hope to visit again next year!
