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!!

Time in the redwoods
We capped off our road trip to travel the length of the Pacific Coast Highway by staying at the Forest Suite by Mendocino for 4 nights. We loved the trail through the redwoods and the incredible loft suite, and also loved the Mendocino community. Forest Suite is so comfy and private and we even made 2 meals while there. Thanks Jen!

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!

Incredible place…don’t hesitate, just book it!
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.

Enjoyed the quiet and close access to town of Mendocino. Couldn't ask for more in a VRBO. Noted that some of my friends had stayed there too in the past. Would do it again.

Always beautiful to stay here. This time, the TV/Netflix wasn’t working at first, but when we notified Jen, she got back to us as soon as she possibly could (she was out of the country) to help us troubleshoot and ultimately fix the problem. I have stayed here a number of times, and it is always beautiful and peaceful. Thank you, Jen!

So peaceful!
This setting was so mesmerizing, and the property so peaceful, I had a hard time leaving to go do the activities I'd had planned. This is a perfect place to hole up and just breathe, or cozy up with someone special. You're only a couple of miles from the town of Mendocino and 10 or 15 minutes from dozens of hikes in woods, on bluffs, or on quiet beaches. Small kitchen is well stocked, bed and linens are very comfortable, and you'll spend hours on that large lovely deck overlooking the forest. If you're sensitive to light as a sleeper, bring a sleep mask. I highly recommend this property and look forward to coming back!

Perfection
My stay at the forest suite was exactly what I needed. The location was perfect inside and out. Tucked far enough away to feel like you are in your own little forest while being close to Mendocino and all it's beauty. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking to relax and escape to this whimsical locale.

A total gem
My fiancee and I ended our honeymoon in Mendocino and we couldn't be happier that we chose this property for our stay. We've been to Mendo many times and none have the privacy, tranquility, and comfort that this home did. We truly felt at home. We will be back!

Private Quiet Forested Hideaway Exceeded Our Expectations
Comfortable, thoughtfully appointed, gorgeous view from every window and skylight, airy, well stocked kitchen, incredibly quiet, sumptuous bedding and lovely mattress, and spotlessly clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our time spent in Forest Suite. Thanks Jen for your hospitality. Best, Christy and Aldaron.

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!
