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.
