ROMANTIC,ARTIST'S PVT 'FOREST SUITE', 5 ac.Redwds,trail, NEW OD 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 if needed. 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. At the beginning of the trail there is a deck in a round of redwood trees with a magical outdoor hot/cold shower. Bring bathrobes!!! Or, just relax at the Suite and enjoy the tranquility.
I hope to have you to stay!!

We usually stay at a hotel or bed and breakfast when we go to Mendocino. I wanted to spend my boyfriends birthday in nature and away from people and this was perfect! It was quiet and beautiful. It had all the things we needed to make our stay great. The ear plugs and eye masks were a nice touch. We enjoyed the shower and all of the kitchen equipment were new and worked perfectly. The trail was also nice. If you're looking for a relaxing and peaceful stay, this is the place!
The bed was too high...we are short people. Also, I wasn't aware I'd be climbing stairs...must have missed that part.The kitchen was well equiped, and it was nice to have condiments in the fridge. We did not need the heater. The shower was nice.

Hi Steve,
Glad you had a nice stay!
In the description of Forest Suite on VRBO, it says that it is upstairs from my art studio, so yes some stairs to go up! I also mention the bed is high to have a view over the sofa and out to the deck and the view. I have provided step stools on both sides of the bed to make access easier for those on the shorter side.
Kind regards,
Jen
Exactly as romantic and peaceful as described. Jennifer is a fantastic host, very kind and welcoming; she went above and beyond to return a forgotten item. The suite is well stocked with a great selection of reading material, games and dvds. Can’t beat the location! Would love to return!
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 :)
Our second visit to this property did not disappoint. Very cozy & quiet studio apartment tucked next to a forest just a few minutes south of Mendocino Village. The fully stocked kitchen is nice if you like to cook some of your own meals. Just pick up a few groceries at Harvest Market in the village. Lots of options for preparing coffee or tea as well as just about every utensil and small appliance you may need. Also full size fridge, oven & range. If staring into the trees should bore you, the host has books, DVDs & TV, yoga mats and a cooler for beach forays. The memory foam bed is very comfortable & linens and towels are very good quality. Shower is small but hot water works quickly. Love the skylights but was glad the host provides eye masks for sleeping in. Wi-Fi works well & host was quick to respond via text to any questions. Terrific place to chill and unwind.
This place is pure magic! A short walk to most stunning views of the coast, cosy cabin in the woods, well stocked kitchen, a little fireplace.. 5 mins from town of Mendocino. I wish we didn’t have to leave. Don’t hesitate to book it!
Had an amazing stay!! I highly recommend to anyone visiting the Mendocino/fort Bragg area. The host was responsive and awesome, the place was even better than the pictures. A truly amazing secluded retreat. I plan on visiting again in the future.
The forest suite is surrounded by gorgeous trees which provide a beautiful view from inside the suite and on the deck. The host was a super great communicator throughout my stay. It is close the community of Mendicino as well as Fort Bragg, where the ocean views are spectacular. I highly recommend this place!
This property is an absolute gem! It offers the perfect blend of a serene, relaxing forest setting with all the amenities needed for a luxurious stay. The entire experience was smooth and stress-free, thanks to the wonderfully friendly and communicative host. We also got a kick out of the interesting DVD collection! We highly recommend this place and are already looking forward to our next visit.
This is such a beautiful property. The studio has everything you need to enjoy a quiet weekend away. Loved sitting out on the deck and enjoying the fresh cool air.
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!
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.

Hi Jane,
So glad you had a great stay!! So sorry about the leftover coffee grounds! I will send a reminder to my housekeeper to please not overlook that in the future!
Cheers,
Jen
The proximity to Mendocino village, the privacy and total silence other than birds and the sound of the wind in the redwoods makes this place perfect for those that are seeking refuge. It instills creativity and thought, peace and harmony. From the front door you can walk through your own forest or go on a long walk down Gordon Lane and across State Park to the headlands.
