Top Forest Lake Hotel Reviews

Charming Bungalow, King Bed, 5min to Ft. Jackson and Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"This place was the best! We stayed here for my son's graduation from BCT. It's close to the base and Ryan is amazing. Very accommodating and so easy to get hold of and work with. Truly an awesome stay!"

Family sized comfort near Fort Jackson

10/10 Excellent

"Rather than renting 4 hotel rooms, my family found this wonderful waterfront lake house. We came down for Family day and Army bootcamp Graduation at For Jackson. This house is only 1.3 miles from Gate 4, PERFECT!! The back deck was the perfect spot to all hang out with our soldier. Large dining room allowed us all to eat together. The host was very responsive with any and all questions. Highly recommend this property for your Fort Jackson stay."

Near Ft. Jackson & Shops - Forrest Lake Hidden Gem

10/10 Excellent

"This was a lovely place to stay! The area is very convenient to restaurants and shopping - literally a quick drive up the road - and is near Fort Jackson. The home was clean, kept very well, and is perfect for families. Communication with the host was easy and we were informed of the check-in/out process early on and had no issues!"

Forest Lake Retreat | Backyard Sanctuary & Hot Tub

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing weekend at this lovely retreat tucked into a beautiful lakeside neighborhood. House is spacious, very clean and more than comfortable to accommodate our party of 8. Beds were so comfortable and linens fresh and crisp. Great layout to relax and enjoy. Hot tub was a great way to relax the end of a busy day. 15 minute drive to downtown and USC, shops and restaurants short drive away. Felt very safe and welcoming. Would highly recommend!!"
