This Little Known Resort In Mississippi Is The Perfect Place To Get Away From It All

Sometimes, you just need to get away from it all. When that time comes, you’ll definitely want to head to The Forest Retreat in Gloster, Mississippi. Hidden in the trees of the Homochitto National Forest, the little known retreat is ideal for a secluded getaway.

For the ultimate secluded getaway, you’ll want to visit The Forest Retreat. The rustic retreat is located between McComb and Natchez near the Homochitto National Forest.

There are 3 cabins at The Forest Retreat.

All of the cabins are constructed from lumber that came from the land and are designed to blend into the natural scenery, with original rustic-twig and Adirondack-style pieces.

The cabins are surrounded by hickory, oak, beech, magnolia and pine trees, providing the perfect environment for bird watching.

The Thunder Ridge cabin is situated atop a bluff, straddling a ravine. Because of its location, there is a 30’ drop from the cabin’s balcony to the forest floor below, resulting in exceptional views.

The floor-to-ceiling windows also offer great views of the surrounding forest.

Ensuring guests truly "unplug," the cabins do not have telephones or televisions.

Guests are also encouraged to leave their cell phones and computers behind.

Without technology, there will be plenty of time to explore the nearby Homochitto Forest.

Encompassing 198,000 acres, the forest includes bike trails, streams, hiking paths and gorgeous landscapes.

And since the retreat is pet friendly, you can bring your pooch along for the fun.

Guests who visit The Forest Retreat during blueberry season can also add blueberry pickin’ to their list of activities. The best part is there’s no limit; guests can pick as many blueberries as they’d like at no cost.
