The Forest House

A cozy mountain retreat set on five private acres, The Forest House is a sweet, small town escape. Cook a meal in the freshly updated light and bright kitchen, enjoy being together in the open concept living space, or watch deer, birds and sometimes jackrabbits from the deck or through the large bedroom window. The property extends backwards, and if you are up for a moderate walk, check out the trail leading down to our seasonal creek!
The space
The Forest House is a two bedroom one bathroom house, with a daybed and trundle bed in the upstairs loft for additional guests. Stay in and enjoy, or venture out to the local swimming hole, Gold Country wineries, a hike or kayak at Lake Tabeaud (37 min drive) or Silver Lake (1 hour 6 min drive), or skiing at the world class Kirkwood Mountain Resort (1 hour and 7 min drive).
