Shire is one of four pet-friendly cabins at Forest Villas... a private 6-acre property a quarter mile from downtown Marienville, PA.

- Small families and pet owners (dogs welcome)
- Outdoor travelers heading to Cook Forest, Allegheny National Forest, or Rails-to-Trails
- ATV, snowmobile, and recreation travelers (room for trucks + trailers)

- Remote workers who need full cell reception and high-speed Wi-Fi

About Forest Villas:
You're not just renting a cabin... you're staying at a private pet-friendly
adventure compound. Forest Villas sits on 6 acres (about 4 acres of forested trails) with on-property
amenities most cabin rentals can't match.

Four cabins, four private hot tubs: every cabin at Forest Villas (Maple, Shire, Mossy Oak and Pin Oak) has its own private hot tub, full kitchen, bathroom and electric fireplace. Book one cabin, or book all four for groups of up to 16.

What you get on-property (included with every stay):
- 6-lane axe throwing range (yes, really)
- The world's tallest Bigfoot statue, over 3 stories tall
- 4 acres of private forested trails through pines and hardwoods
- A peaceful pond with cattails
- A tire obstacle course
- Direct access to the Rails-to-Trails path (property runs along it)
- Resident wildlife, including a rare white deer that visits regularly

Inside Shire (510 sqft, well-laid-out):
- Private bedroom with a real closed door and a brand-new luxury queen mattress
- Living room with two leather-look convertible sofa beds (flexible sleeping for 2 more)
- Wood-paneled kitchen with full-size refrigerator, electric stove, and microwave
- Indoor dining nook
- Tiled shower, full bath
- Smart TV with Netflix, Roku, and more
- High-speed Wi-Fi (works for streaming and remote work)
- Full cell reception
- Heat and A/C, linens, pillows, and towels included

Outside your cabin:
- Covered front porch with seating
- Privacy-fenced rear bar patio with a hand-built tree-stump bar table,
metal bar stools, and string lights overhead
- Brick-surround fire pit with bench seating
- Decorative gravel + railroad-tie pathway
- Gravel driveway with 2 dedicated parking spots
- Shared loop drive with neighboring cabins... room for trucks, trailers,
ATVs, snowmobiles, or anything else you're hauling

Within minutes:
- 5-minute walk to downtown Marienville
- 15 minutes to Cook Forest State Park
- Quick access to the Allegheny National Forest
- Walking distance to the Forest County Bigfoot Festival

Pets:
We welcome up to 2 dogs per cabin (no cats). $30 non-refundable pet fee per stay, not per night. The covered porch is a great rainy-day spot, and the 6-acre property gives them room to stretch.

What to know before booking:
- Cabin is 510 sqft... cozy, efficient, well-laid-out
- Gravel shared driveway (year-round accessible)
- Real closed-door private bedroom (most "1BR" cabin listings in this area
are actually open lofts)
- Quiet, residential feel... no industrial noise
- On-property amenities are shared with the 3 other Forest Villas cabins...
it's a small compound, not a resort

Book Shire for your next Marienville trip. Whether it's a quiet weekend
with the dog, a Cook Forest hiking trip, an ATV weekend, or Bigfoot
Festival lodging... this cabin is built for the slow-down kind of getaway.
