Om dette overnattingsstedet

Forest House: 2 BR, 3 BA House in The Sea Ranch, Sleeps 4

  • Unit 5 BLK 3 Lot 13. Welcome to Forest House at The Sea Ranch, a distinctive two-bedroom, timber-framed home designed in the 1970s by the architect Don Jacobs. Nestled into the forest amidst towering redwoods and other native trees and plants, this tranquil home is also surrounded by decades-old rhododendrons planted by the original owners. The Rhodies put on a fabulous show in the spring and early summer along with an ancient felled redwood, now carpeted in moss, that has become home to native flora. The giant log borders much of the walkway to the house entrance.

    We have kept virtually all of the original interiors intact, while introducing modern conveniences for a relaxing, effortless stay. Multi-level living provides both private spaces and communal areas for friends and family, but the quintessential Sea Ranch great room on the main floor is the centerpiece of this gem from the 70s. View the giant redwoods from oversized windows and their treetops through the many skylights above. Forest House is also home to an eclectic mix of photography and artifacts from the owners’ books and travels. Three night minimum required for this home.

    This two-bedroom, three-bathroom house is suitable for four people (children included). There are hardwood floors and
    paneling throughout much of the house. On the main floor there’s a media room, the great room with dining area, and dining
    deck with grill, retro kitchen with an oven too small for a turkey, two bathrooms with tubs, and a bedroom with queen-sized
    bed. We call a small second deck “the reading deck.”

    The carpeted ensuite master bedroom is on the lower floor at garden level with king-sized bed, bathroom with walk-in shower, aromatic cedar closet and cabinets, and a couple’s spa tub just outside. There are fine cotton linens for all beds, bath, and spa.

    Environs: Forest House is adjacent to the trailhead of one of The Sea Ranch’s most thrilling hikes—the Bobcat Trail.
    Guests can also reach the trail from any of several woodland paths on our property. The Sea Ranch Lodge and Black Point Beach are a quick drive down the hill.
    The Sea Ranch’s three swimming complexes and other beaches are just north, and public and private access trails to the ocean abound.
    The nearest markets, restaurants, and gas stations are in the town of Gualala, a 12-minute drive north. Coffee and
    breakfast treats (and Friday night pizza) are a five-minute drive south at the fabulous 2-Fish Baking Company at Stewart’s Point on the Pacific Coast Highway. And for your convenience the Forest House is outfitted with a generator in case of power outages.

    TO ENHANCE YOUR STAY, ENJOY . . .
    - three heated communal pools and saunas at three recreation centers
    - tennis and pickleball courts
    - miles of hiking trails amidst redwoods and along the Pacific Coast

Our Happy Place

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

The rental property was okay

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was okay, a little misleading on location and how far back you are in the forest. Cobwebs EVERYWHERE!, outside and inside. When checking out, the lady asked our opinion and was rude when we told her the issues. Will never rent a "Forest" house again

Magical Visit!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. 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!

Amazing Stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

Lovely bungalow in the redwoods

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

A Forest experience

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We opted to stay in the forested area of Sea Ranch this trip instead of our typical coast rental. What an incredible experience! We loved the super quiet, green environment and the large house. As always the Beach Rentals staff are fantastic, so helpful and easy to work with on reservations. This house is a true gem in beautiful condition with its historic 1970's vibe furniture and amazing photos by the owner. We discovered that the Ridge trails above the airport are mostly flat and feel like a magic forest land all their own. This was an added bonus to the marvelous cliff trail on the ocean. We never saw another house, person or heard a car. Total relaxation.
