"We had an amazing experience here. My husband and I were married on the 26th of December 2025 and it was stunning. We wanted a small family wedding we could all enjoy and the staff here delivered. Sheri went ABOVE AND BEYOND. I swear she was in 3 places at once. She made everything move seamlessly. Shay was our officiant and conducted the ceremony as if she had known us for years and they even accommodated a video call with..."

"Best long weekend trip here. The staff was super friendly. Shelley at check in, Miranda in the restaurant very sweet, Grace teaching horseback lesson before the guided tour, Seth's vocals at dinner and the ladies in the spa were nice. The whole grounds was great, our room was clean, only updated needed is bathroom. We stayed at mt laurel inn. We ventured to the waterfalls and the town of Delonaga and Ellijay. The waterfalls was a must! Definitely will be..."

"Stopped in as a halfway point to Disney World. We ended up stopping for 2 nights on our way back to settle back in from the awesome chaos of Disney. Anyhow, this is not a 5 star hotel in NY city, if you're looking for that, go there. We loved it, it felt like a camp for adults. The grounds are maintained a various beautiful gardens. Food was good, not a "dining experience," but I don't really feel like that's..."

"This was our fourth time visiting Forrest Hills and it was wonderful. Previously we have always stayed in the same Cupid cabin and always loved our stays, but this time we were in a Lovebird cabin (Lovebird 2) and it was an even better experience. The cabin was gorgeous. The cabin smelled so divine when we arrived that we ordered the reeds they were using before we even headed home. The service throughout our stay was fantastic. The breakfasts were..."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Forest Hills Resort – Our New Family Tradition This was our second time staying at Forest Hills Resort, and it was just as wonderful as the first! The first time, it was just my husband and me at Cupid’s Hideaway — quiet, romantic, and absolutely perfect. This time, we brought the whole family and stayed in the Mount Laurel Inn, and it truly felt like a home away from home. From check-in to checkout, every single staff member —..."

"We had our daughter's wedding at Forrest Hills Resort. We really did not know what to expect because it was our first experience with the venue. Our wedding was in December 2025 and it turned out to be an incredible experience! Sheri Rider, the wedding coordinator was warm, personable, a problem solver, and maintained clear communication with us. She answered any questions that we had and worked to make sure that we were taken care of before, and during our..."

"My daughter and her husband chose Forrest Hills Resort for their wedding. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly - it was as if the staff was a big family. Sherri, the Wedding Coordinator, made the day stress free and memorable. The ceremony was relaxed and tailored for our situation. The groom’s family was overseas and Sherri made sure that the technology worked so that his family could attend the ceremony virtually. No complaints about the reception-the food was very..."

We then ate dinner there, very reasonable and very good with great..."
