We rested together with a guy in this wonderful hotel in all respects and were VERY satisfied, we will be happy to come again and will recommend this place to friends and acquaintances)
To be honest, at first I thought about buying some kind of coupon, but there was nothing good on the discount sites, then my sister, who was vacationing with her husband last November, advised me to go to the Forest House website, there was just a -30% promotion on accommodation + breakfasts and dinners, it turned out 350 UAH per day, but we either bought lunch ourselves, choosing what we like from the menu, or, if we went on an excursion, we ate somewhere else.
We rested in late August - early September, so there were not many people, the rest turned out to be calm and no one interfered.
Hotel location. Forest House is located about 1.5 hours by bus from Ivano-Frankivsk. Minibuses run from the station often and cost about 20 UAH per person.

A huge plus is that the hotel is located near Yaremche (where you can go to see the waterfall) and about 15-20 minutes drive from Bukovel.
The hotel is located on the bank of the river, behind it is a forest, there are almost no buildings (neighbors) on the right and left, so there is a super view of the mountains that could be seen from our balcony.
By the way, topic. who loves skiing - we were told that in winter several micro-buses are driven to the hotel, which carry vacationers to Bukovel and pick them up, respectively. Prices in winter, as the owner said, are almost two times less than in Bukovel.
Near the hotel there are two shops where you can buy water, sweets and other products.
Rooms and accommodation. We lived in a standard room, on the 3rd floor at number 13. The view from the window is gorgeous (photo attached). The room, like the rest of the hotel, is made of wood. Comfortable, clean, quite spacious. The bathroom is small, in it we found two small and two large white towels and one more for feet. All fixtures are brand new and high quality.
It is forbidden to smoke in the rooms, because the whole hotel is decorated with wood, which can easily catch fire, but on the street - please, there is a bench right next to the exit from the restaurant, tables and gazebos.
By the way, we got on cool weather and rainy weather (+10…+15) and we were pleasantly surprised that the rooms were heated a little so that it would not be cold.
Does the hotel have free Wi-Fi. On the street there is a wonderful gazebo with a barbecue, you can buy a barbecue and fry it yourself, they will bring you skewers, plates and everything you need.
The only thing we missed was the chairs on the balcony, but we easily fixed this shortcoming by dragging an ottoman and a leather chair from the room.

Also there is no playground and sauna. BUT we somehow got into a conversation with the director (a wonderful person) and he shared his secret plans: they plan to build a spa center with a bathhouse, a massage room, a beer and tea bar, etc. By the way, the hotel "At the Brothers" is located nearby and there you can take a steam bath in the sauna, it costs 100 UAH per hour.
Restaurant. As I wrote earlier, breakfasts and dinners were included in the price (photo attached). They cooked deliciously and with a shower, every evening we chose from the list what we would eat in the morning and said what time we would arrive, it was the same with dinner.
The service is quite good, the prices are slightly above average (when compared to other restaurants where we have eaten), but this is justified by the taste and quality of the food. The most delicious cuisine of all that we tried during our vacation was in Forest House. By the way, the interior of the restaurant is made in hunting style - simple, nice and tasteful.
I would also add a few dessert cakes or something for tea to the menu. They serve delicious Carpathian tea, but there are not so many desserts on the menu. We bought sweets from the store several times. When the waiter brought us tea, then it was necessary to have a plate with him so that we could put everything there and not eat from bags. Delicious mead : )
Service. Pleasantly pleased with the sincere and homely attitude towards customers. The staff is friendly, always greets and tries to help, suggest.
Departure from the hotel - at 12-00, check-in - at 14-00. Despite the fact that we arrived at 12-00 we were settled in a free room without any problems, we did not wait 2 hours.
On the day of departure, our train left quite late - at 22-00 from Ivan-Frankivsk, we wanted to stay longer at the hotel so as not to wander around the station with suitcases. We went to the reception and asked if it was possible to pay extra and stay until 18-00. The girl promised to check with the director. Later she replied that they would just stay, a small gift from the hotel. We were VERY pleasantly surprised that we went to the meeting. THANK YOU so much for this again!

General impression. We will be happy to return again, we liked the rest, the hotel itself and the sincere attitude of the staff towards customers. I advise everyone to come and see for yourself)
