ROMANTIC, ARTISTS PRIVATE 'FOREST SUITE', 5 acres Redwoods, Trails, 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 560 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 with a deck overlooking the surrounding trees. 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. Take a walk through the forest; you will see a trail sign 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 for yoga or meditation, or just relax and enjoy the tranquility. Thank you and enjoy your stay!!

Forest Suite Revisited
We stayed at this VRBO in 2022 and enjoyed it so much we had to come back! It is a great location to be near the ocean and take in all the beautiful sights around Mendocino. The Forest Suite is peaceful and relaxing... perfect for getting away from it all for a few days. We would venture out in the mornings to go on hikes or just do some sight seeing, and then come back to the suite to kick back and read a good book. Such a nice vacation! Highly recommended!

The forest suite is a perfect spot to getaway from typical vacation accommodations. It is a very short drive to Mendocino, yet tucked away in the forest. The suite has everything you need and even some of the stuff you didn't think of, but your host did. Jennifer is very responsive and has created a wonderful spot to relax and enjoy.

Amazing place in the woods
It's a wonderful studio in a forest - cosy, comfortable to stay in, with a great view from the deck, peaceful surroundings, really close to the coast and Mendocino. I expected it to be nice (looking at the pictures in the listing) - and it turned out to be even better in person! We really loved our stay and hope to come back in future.

Our favorite place to stay in Mendocino
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!

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!

It's a beautiful space in your a beautiful place. To sit in the sun on the deck with the redwoods towering around is a wonderful thing. In the night frogs croak from the creek below. The house is very well equipped -- the kitchen is a jewel. I had a very fine time. Already hoping I can go back.

The Forest-suite was just right. My wife and I were able to unwind in this tree top oasis of privacy. Close to Mendocino and shipping. We had wonderful weather which allowed us to go hiking and then come enjoy the stillness of this rustic place.

Coziest Stay in the Woods
While the weather in Mendocino this weekend was nonstop rain, we found the Forest Suite to be an incredibly cozy and comfortable stay. Jennifer’s directions were clear and concise and the amenities were great. Will definitely stay here again on our next Mendo excursion. Cheers!

This is the place to stay if you are looking to reconnect with yourself or someone you love. So peaceful, serene, private and close to everything at the same time. It was an absolute joy to look at the sky at night and wake up to the trees in the morning. So lucky to have found this place. Clean and has everything you can think of. Appreciated the book selection and board games. Will definitely plan to be back! 10/10 Thank you!

Respite from the storm
I stayed here for 8 days as a Big Break from life and family. It was incredibly cozy, with the gas heater and comfy couch with comfy blanket, as rainstorms pounded the coast - rain on the skylights and outside the windows in the trees. Perfectly quiet and exactly what I needed.

Vacation in Mendocino
The solitude one feels at this home is remarkable. Even though there are homes nearby the mornings and evenings are quiet. Walks along the access road proved quite pleasant, with little to no traffic. The town of Mendocino is a few minutes away, and there are numerous hiking opportunities nearby. We stayed for three nights, and I found the home to be perfect for that duration. Overall, a really peaceful vacation - exactly what I wanted.
