Five Oaks is a family vacation dream! Steps from the Forestville Youth Park and almost an acre of fenced yard, it’s private AND a short walk to downtown Forestville. This modernized ranch house has been in the same family since it was built in the early 1970s and is lovingly updated – especially the kitchen, 2 of the bathrooms, and gorgeous pool area! The family has been active in Forestville since the mid-1800s and their love of the community shows. Walk to restaurants, coffee shops, local shops, and local bike rentals to cruise the West County regional trail – there’s no limit to your activities!
You’ll love playing and lounging in the yard – at the in-ground pool (with safety cover), in pool hot tub, around the gas fire pit, playing cornhole, or BBQ-ing and dining outdoors. Cut flowers to bring inside or watch hummingbirds and butterflies flit from one plant to the next – there’s always something in bloom. Inside, you have ample room to spread out or gather together with a den, family room, and dining room – each with a flat screen TV. And the family room has a ping-pong table!

Location: Five Oaks is in a residential neighborhood and shares a fence line with the baseball field section of the Forestville Youth Park. During baseball season, you can hear games and practices, but it isn’t obtrusive. Neighboring properties are a mix of retired apple orchards, bright and colorful yards, barns, aging cars, and everyday working people and families. To honor this balance, we ask guests to park inside the fence and respect the quiet hours in addition to general family-friendly, residential neighborhood expectations. Thank you for helping to continue the tradition of a mutually beneficial relationship between vacation rentals and local community!

Stairs: There are a couple of stairs to the front door and from each doorway to the yard. There are two steps inside the house from the kitchen area to the laundry and family rooms.

Fencing and Driveway Gate: There is fencing around the whole property. For safety purposes, power outages, fire, evacuation, or anything else that may require emergency services, the driveway gate stays open during guest stays. This allows for the fastest possible response and way out.
