I absolutely love the woods, and my father is considering to transfer to the state of Utah. However, as I have researched real estate in various parts of Utah, I notice that these houses include a very small of acreage, with little or none of forestland. Are there any cities in Utah that consist of houses with forestland acreage?

You *may* find some areas that are *wooded*, if that is what you mean by forestland acreage, around Huntington.
Even around Hiway 6, you can find some areas that are *wooded*. If you can find acreage for sale, is a whole other game ...

Northern Idaho has a lot more forest, for instance Coeur D'Alene ,Idaho fits your description of a forested city. Utah's forests tend to be at higher altitude and are mainly used for recreation seasonally. There are a few small towns like Duck Creek and Brianhead in the forest in southern Utah but they're resort areas, and commuting to Cedar City or Parowan would probably be extremely difficult in winter assuming you could even find a job there. I partly blame Stephen King's erroneous description of Green River as being in the deep woods in The Stand and other sloppy popular author mistakes for the perception that Utah is heavily forested.

How do you know Stephan King was conjuring up Utah?
Could be WA, KY or NC....

Yep! The Green River runs through several states some of which are forested and green.

But, as mentioned, UT is high desert and not rally the geography the OP wants. S/he may have to adjust.

The scene in The Stand happens in the town of Green River, UT, as characters are making their way between Boulder, CO and Las Vegas. They cross Utah in the novel, and a major scene happens in Green River. It would be very impractical to go to Las Vegas from Colorado by way of a river in Kentucky or North Carolina, especially on foot, especially by way of Grand Junction, CO and the "Utah Badlands" which are specifically mentioned as being between the "Boulder Free Zone" and the enclave of evil characters in Las Vegas. The novel is very specific in naming locations.
