About this property
Shire Villa: New Hot Tub, String Lit Fire Pit, Axe Throwing & Bigfoot!
Shire is one of four pet-friendly cabins at Forest Villas... a private 4-acre adventure compound a quarter mile from downtown Marienville, PA. Walk to town in 5 minutes. Throw an axe before dinner. Light the fire pit when the sun drops, and stay up later than you planned.
Who Shire works for: - Couples who want a cozy, photogenic getaway - 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) - Bigfoot Festival weekend visitors looking for walking-distance lodging - 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 4 wooded acres with on-property amenities most cabin rentals can't match.
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 dogs. $30 non-refundable pet fee per stay. The covered porch is a great rainy-day spot, and the 4-acre property gives them room to stretch. Please keep pets leashed.
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.
