Our listing photos were captured on sunny summer days when the sun is at its highest. If your visit falls during a different season, the forest will likely feel more rugged, misty, and moody. We cannot guarantee that the outside of the property will look exactly like the photos if it is raining or overcast during your stay.<br /><br />NATURE DISCLAIMER<br />Being tucked directly under a massive redwood canopy means the line between inside and outside is very thin. These trees are beautiful but active neighbors. They drop needles, twigs, and forest dust around the clock. While we keep the indoors pristine for you, the outdoor spaces are governed by the wind and the changing seasons. You might arrive to find a fresh dusting of debris or a damp deck. We embrace this wild look as part of the authentic forest experience.<br /><br />Because the canopy is so dense, the sun rarely hits the ground directly. This keeps the air crisp and the deck cool and moist most of the year. We highly recommend bringing a pair of outdoor slippers or slip-on shoes so you can comfortably pop outside for coffee or stargazing.<br /><br />FOREST NEIGHBORS<br />You are also sharing this space with the local residents. It is very common to spot a family of deer, raccoons, or possums passing through the yard, and the lucky guest might even catch a glimpse of a bobcat or grey fox. While they are beautiful to watch from the deck, please remember they are wild. We ask that you enjoy them from a distance and never leave food outside.<br /><br />If you are looking for a manicured, pavement-only stay, this might not be the spot for you. But if you want to truly immerse yourself in a living ecosystem, you are in the right place.
