About this property
ROMANTIC, ARTIST PRIVATE 'FOREST SUITE', 5 ac, Redwds, trail, O SHR, Mendo 2 mi.
"Nothing comes closer to perfect than Jen's place."
Forest Suite is located just a few minutes south from the village of Mendocino on 5 acres of beautiful redwoods. This 550 sq. ft. apartment plus 200sq ft deck, is upstairs from my 2,000 sq. ft artist’s studio, which is not in use when guests are staying. Built entirely with redwood, recycled fir and barn wood with cement counters and shower this romantic getaway is a very special spot.
The south wall is all windows facing the deck with deck chairs and a table with two chairs for dining overlooking the surrounding towering redwoods. The bed is slightly higher so that the view over the couch to the deck and view is unobstructed. There are step stools on either side of the bed for our shorter guests. It’s very peaceful and sunny and is frequented by honeymooners, artists, writers and those seeking total privacy. A few books and screenplays have been written here!
There is an eclectic book and DVD library to enjoy, internet, Direct TV and some boardgames. For your comfort there is a cozy gas fireplace, a ceiling fan, a standing fan ,electric heater and removable window screens in the hall closet. The kitchen is fully stocked and there are also yoga mats and weights for your use.
Take a walk through the forest; you will see TRAIL & SHOWER signs by the driveway which will take you through the property and out onto Gordon Lane for a longer walk. There is a bench along the trail and also a deck in the trees with a magical outdoor hot/cold shower, or just relax at the Suite and enjoy the tranquility.
I hope to have you to stay!!

We had a fantastic stay here; the forested location is beautiful and perfectly quiet. The indoor space is thoughtfully laid out, nicely decorated, and very comfortable. We especially enjoyed eating breakfast on the large deck overlooking the surrounding woods. The listing and the many glowing reviews are 100% accurate. We hope to stay again next time we're visiting the Mendocino area.
Beautiful cozy stay that’s been very well designed! Everything one would need in a home away from home, plus great views of the giant redwoods from the studio! Will definitely be going back again :)
Me and my husband were looking for a Fall Break escape so we decided to book this place. We both enjoyed the place as it was peaceful and quiet. The only thing is when we arrived the coffee pot had leftover coffee and and was not washed. Other than that we liked the location that it was surrounded by Redwood Trees. The place was easy to navigate and Jen was very responsive. We had a very relaxing time.
This is the perfect place to stay if you’re visiting the Fort Bragg area! It’s close to town, but just far enough away that you still have total privacy and quiet! We loved it!
Enjoyed this retreat!! Secluded just enough and yet close to everything. Peaceful and cozy. Clean and well stocked. The bed was super comfy!! Loved everything about this place!!
This was our second stay and it was better than the first. The area is great and a perfect distance from trails, downtown, and whatever else would bring you to Mendocino. Can’t wait to go again next year!
We had a wonderful, serene stay in the redwood forest at this beautiful property! The host provided all the comforts of home in a secluded and quiet location. We will return!
Forest Suite is a true gem. We really enjoyed our stay in the redwoods which includes a short hiking trail on the property as well. The view through the front windows and deck is very peaceful.
This was a perfect stay in a quaint and cozy suite with a perfect woodland view. The decor was tasteful and all the essential amenities were in place plus bonuses like the DVD collection. You can't help leave more relaxed after a stay here and the location is perfect - close but not too close to Mendocino.
My husband and I love this property. A perfect way to escape and get a little R & R. This was our third time to the Forest Suite and will for sure be back.
This is the 4th or 5th time we have stayed here and each stay is as wonderful as the last. It is serene with big windows that let in so much light, even on cloudy days. It’s a short drive everywhere you want to explore. Thank you for sharing your wonderful space and can’t wait to return!
Brilliantly designed "studio" (it has a full kitchen) feels like a luxury treehouse. Serene and secluded, while minutes away from Mendocino's amentities and activities. Spotless and comfortable. Perfect for a solo respite or couple.
Everything was absolutely perfect. The space was clean, beautiful, peaceful, charming, it was just perfect. We will definitely be coming back, we came for our anniversary and both of our birthdays. Jen was incredible, she was responsive the entire time, and answered all of our questions quickly. We had left an item and she had it shipped back to us which was above and beyond expectations. We did a 50 mile bike ride and the suite was right on the map which was perfect, two minute drive to all of the shops, restaurants, and coffee shops. It was so close we ran to coffee one morning, could not recommend enough.

It was a peaceful forest suite with a comfortable bed and hot shower.
We really enjoyed our short stay here! The place is exactly how it’s shown in the photos and is very clean. A great place to retreat to in the evening and is close to activities near the coast and Fort Bragg. We’d definitely stay again!
If you like total privacy, a charming space, great light, and easy access to the wonderful town of Mendocino, this place is for you. Sitting on the deck in the sun while watching the trees sway in the breeze is our idea of heaven. We've stayed here three times and can't wait to go back!
Jen's place is gorgeous. It feels like staying in a bird's nest (with better amenities of course). This was our second time here, and we hope to come back again.
It’s a magical place, starry skies, great location, eclectic vibe and the accommodations provide everything you want and need and things u didn’t know you’d want or need!
Seriously, we just left and I wish we could have stayed longer!
The host does a fantastic job in every way!
Book it before you miss out.
