Vine Forest, also known as Forest Oaks and Forest Tavern, is a historic home located near Natural Bridge, Rockbridge County, Virginia. The original section was built about 1806, and is a 2 1/2-story, Federal style brick dwelling. It was enlarged about 1812 and substantial Colonial Revival additions and alterations were made in 1916. Two-story frame wings and a two-story rear verandah were added in 1916. The interior features a two-story center hall with a full arched ceiling. The property also includes three contributing guest houses.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1]
