This was our 2nd time staying in the Forest House. We knew it was wonderful for peaceful relaxation, and that's what we did. The views are so beautiful that just staying in the house is a treat. The kitchen is well appointed for whatever cooking you have in mind. And you can go for walks from the front door. Why go anywhere else?

The host was not particularly welcoming; there were opportunities for the host to be more proactive, i.e.., by letting us know when the property was ready by text or telephone number. We would also have appreciated the host letting us know whether our security deposit was refunded without having to inquire.

Reviewer Comments:
This was our second stay at Forest House, and it was once again absolutely magical and near perfect. The home is spacious, filled with light and has everything needed for a cozy and comfortable stay. Beds are comfortable, linens are good, kitchen has absolutely everything you can think of to cook a meal, including basic supplies like olive oil, sugar, salt, and pepper. There are games and puzzles to fill rainy days, a hot tub right off the master bedroom, bluetooth speaker, television with netflix and disney+, yoga supplies, washer/dryer. I mostly enjoyed curling up with my book next to the window and reading the day away. If there was one suggestion, my kids wanted to watch TV/movies at night and although the sofa is pretty and fits the decor of the cabin, it's not terribly comfortable for lounging in front of a movie (I read in the info guide that it's imported from Europe in the 1950s). We can't wait to come back!

Forest House is one of the best vacation rentals we have ever stayed in! The home is cozy, incredibly peaceful nestled in the middle of a redwood forest. The owner's photography was exquisite and we loved the touch of having a photo guide so we could see where all the photos were taken and the backstory behind them. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed for cooking, including basic spices, sugar, coffee filters, etc, there were plenty of bath towels and beach/hot tub towels, linens were nice and there were lots of spare blankets for cooler nights, nice soap in the bathrooms/showers, clean house shoes by the front door - literally everything you need for a very comfortable stay. We would love to stay here again!

What a beautifully designed and perfectly appointed home. We've rented many Sea Ranch homes over the decades and never has a home felt less like a rental and more like a friend had lent me their place for the week. Comfortable, clean, artful, great orientation to its verdant forest setting. A perfect place for retreat and contemplation.

This home is wonderful ... the art, the story, the windows, kitchen amenities, the redwoods. It is a typical rental that sits vacant at times so yes there are a few cobwebs but nothing awful. Will definitely stay here again when we return. It barely has a peek-a-boo ocean view but that was fine with us, we were escaping the California valley heat and loved being at a higher elevation out of the sun and wind. Rental company was great!

While I tend to gravitate to homes in the meadow, this location opened my eyes to the benefit of being in the forest. The setting is exquisite, so peaceful. I will definitely return to The Forest House. It's now my number one choice! The owners have it furnished/supplied tastefully and completely. Well done! Props to the housekeeping staff for finding the garment bag I left behind on the wood pile in my haste to check out on time and to the staff for boxing it up and sending to me right away.

This home is a great example of the Sea Ranch architecture. The owners have furnished it in period pieces that naturally go with it. There are handmade textiles throughout the house from other countries and large photographs from all over the world that just keep growing on you as you live with them. The kitchen is well stocked for someone that likes to cook. It’s so peaceful to be surrounded by redwoods and flowering rhododendrons. The hot tub was a bonus and Beach Rentals made sure that it was properly maintained.
