Stay in the Handcrafted Redwood Lodge-like in a forest for a week and allow yourself a break from the hustle and bustle of the busy world. Immerse yourself in a cocoon of privacy, healthy air, cries of birds, and forest creatures. Many visitors have told us that they find they sleep deeper and longer with the windows open and fresh clean air and the perfect silence broken only occasionally by an owl or the hooting of love doves.. Wake to the calls of the Ravens and after breakfast enjoy the sunny deck for yoga or lounging on the recliners and soak up the sun and the restorative forest vibrations. Reconnect with Mother Earth and your inner self with daily walks through the forest trails. And you may find at the end of the visit that your muscles have relaxed, the racing thoughts have quieted down, your conversations with family and friends have become more meaningful, and the evening hot tub gazing at the stars emotionally transforming and transcending.

More details about Huckleberry Woods Country Home-- owners words
"Early morning deep in the redwoods of Jackson State Forest, the Eastern sun streams into the large, bright kitchen. As rising sleepers are drawn to the smells of the coffee pot, the first sight out the sliding glass doors are THE TALLEST TREES IN THE WORLD, THE MAJESTIC REDWOODS, surrounding the expansive redwood deck which surrounds the home. Coffee mug in hand the cries of ravens greet visitors beckoning them to the cushioned chairs where they can curl up and embrace the morning sun."

Later explore the large and private property, which boasts no neighbors with the exception of the owners who live here year round in a nearby cottage and are always willing to help with any issues or questions. There are marked running or strolling paths. Jackson State Forest butts on the SW border of the property with 55 thousand acres of trails for hiking, biking, and strolling looking for wildlife and the beautiful Hare Creek that meanders only a twenty minute hike away through the forest."

This generous 6 bedroom multi-level house also includes a Library, Sun room, Dining room, Games Landing , an Atrium, and Living room. The Sun room (optional bedroom #7) and Library (optional bedroom #8) can be closed for privacy and sleep as well. As a social area, the Sun Room is a favorite with beautiful views of the redwoods, and large enough for a group class. The Library is filled with books to indulge in and is a perfect place to tuck yourself into a corner and relax alone. The Atrium, center of the home, is a place to play music and dance or practice yoga. The Dining room is formal and can seat your whole party. The Living room, all of 500 square feet, can be arranged for a group activity, movies, games, Foos Ball, dancing, or an educational seminar.

Have a dip in the new hot tub on the West facing deck overlooking the Zen Garden pond filled with Koi and frequented by a variety of dragonflies: fiery red to blue and black striped ones flitting about the ferns. In June the pond is ringed with lavender and snow white oriental irises. In the evening on a crystal clear night with the deck lights off, the views of the stars are spectacular as there are no city lights! Floating in the hot tub gazing up at the stars, perhaps hearing an owl, it doesn't get more peaceful than that.

The garden and home have been designed with Feng Shui principles for capturing and enhancing energy and creating a peaceful Reconnection to Nature. A stroll through the winding pathways brings one surprise turn after another towards a new view of the garden and its lovely fountains, and beautiful landscaping with blossoms that alter with the changing seasons: daffodils, narcissus, rhododendrons, geraniums, dahlias, hydrangeas, agapanthus, lilies and more. The sound of running water catches your ear, and your eye is drawn to the Quan Yin fountain and other sculptures and meditation areas which abound. Wander the paths to the orchard and vegetable garden. Spring brings cherries/pears and summer a variety of apples.
