What a great escape!!!, August 28, 2009
What a great escape!!!, August 28, 2009
By Mike Griffin (Prunedale, ca)
We had a wonderfull time at this cabin. We wanted to get away and we sure did. The host is great, very attentive and thoughtful. We will miss the sunsets and the privacy being up in the trees by ourselves. If you are looking to get away, this is a great place to take a deep breath and relax. We will be back again!!!

Ken, thank you for sharing your amazing home with us. We had a great time. I couldn't keep our baby out of your huge tub or keep my nine year old from catching all the lizards.My husband spent a lot of time just appreciating the craftmanship. I loved your antique stove it really completes your kitchen. My family oohed and aaahed at the wonderful views and sunset from the top porch. My baby discovered the moon while here and could not saying wow. My dog was the calmest he has ever been. We would love to make this house a permanent vacation spot, it brought us closer again and reminded us why we all love each other. My husband is prepared to challenge you to horse shoes next time. Sinbad came to visit last night and was puurrfect. The Lacourse family + Dog Big Paw

Thank you for a great place to get away. We really needed some time away from the world and time alone together. We loved the sunsets and the vibe we got just from being here. We hope to bring the family next time. Maybe to play in the snow. We loved everything about the cabin. What a treat! Thanks for everything. See you next time. Mike and Ida

I just read a bed time story to my daughter Lucienne upstairs on the deck as the sun was setting and the bats were starting to emerge. Now we are reading and writing by candle light as the crickets sing outside. All is quiet. Our week here has passed too quickly. It took three days to slow down from city life to this pace. A month would be ideal. Ah well at least we get to camp in Big Sur on the way back to LA. Thanks Ken for the lovely cabin, the ripe tomatoes and peaches and the good tips. Brassfield winery was gorgeous. Blue Lakes was so refreshing. And best of all the jug of water straight from the mountain. I wish I could fill the car with water jugs and take that home with us. Good luck with this venture. I hope it is a great success for your family! best wishes and please take good care of Sinbad

We enjoyed Cool evenings, gentle breezes and the wonderful quiet that comes with such a peaceful forest setting. We very much look forward to our return to Precious forest, as well as having another opportunity to chat with our very gracious and kind host, Ken. Please give our warm affection to "mountain Bob" as well. A true free spirit on the mountain.

Thanks for the week. It has been quiet and private. That's exactly what we wanted for our honeymoon. Calistoga was a neat little town + Napa Valley was just gorgeous. We liked the lake and surrounding towns. Thanks for being so helpful with the little things. Andrew + Megyn

05/07/09 Positive Precious Forest is a great get away place to go for peace and quiet. We took our family for a mini vacation and although it was only a few days, it felt so much longer. The cabin is cozy and is majestically surrounded by beautiful trees and the blue sky. We had a very relaxing and fun get away. We enjoyed nights playing chess and cooking and spending quality time with our children. We also saw deers, turkeys and lots of birds nearby. When we returned home, I woke up the next day expecting to see the forest again … if you can take that with you, then you know you had a great time! Thanks Ken and your brother for always making sure we were o.k. We’d love to return again.

04/28/09 Positive We have been to The Cabin twice now & both times we have had wonderful adventures. We love The Cabin(we think of it as our private getaway). Whenever we feel the need to recharge we start talking about The Cabin. We fell in love with the antique cook stove-it is fun & amazingly easy to use-at first we thought we'd only be eating cold food :). It is beautiful & peaceful on the mountain, & you feel you've left all your cares behind. Ken is a wonderful host, & goes above & beyond to make sure your stay is a wonderful experience that you won't forget. He built this cabin as a labor of love & it definately shows.

04/02/09 Positive This cabin was awesome, and like the previous comment, was the perfect blend of comfort and rustic. It is a 5 mile drive up a dirt road, so it is away from everything, but not too bad of a drive.
The Clearlake area is great; we tried and recommend Rosa D' Oro and Wildhurst wineries.
Ken and Harley (the caretaker) do a great job, and we heavily reccomend Precious Forest.

03/31/09 Positive We had a great time at the cabin. It is the perfect blend of rustic and comfort. The siting of the cabin enabled a western view from the bedroom and upper deck that was spectacular! It was incredibly quiet and private. At night, the stars filled the sky because there was virtually no ambient light. There is hiking available further up Bartlett Springs Road at Pinnacle Rock. We liked Ceago Winery on 20E just down the hill from the cabin. Wilbur Hot Springs is just one hour east from the cabin--perfect for a day trip. The owner and caretaker were very helpful.

02/24/09 Positive Our stay at the Precious Forest cabin was PERFECT. We went there to get away from our busy schedule-- and spend a romantic weekend together, and that is exactly what we got. The cabin is beautifully made, and makes you feel as if you are far far away from the real world. The cabin has many windows in every room which was an extra bonus to be able to see the beautiful views as we were eating, sleeping, or just hanging out on the coach.
Ken and Eddie made sure everything was perfect for us, and made sure any concern or problem we had was fixed.
We had a wonderful time, and look forward to visiting the cabin again.
Thank you!!

02/09/09 Positive My wife and I spent a lovely weekend in this isolated mountain cabin. The cabin itself is gorgeous - it is quite obvious that a lot of time and love went into building it. The weekend in the mountain truly felt like an escape from everyday life. We visited during the middle of winter, but the heater kept us warm and there was plenty of hot water. There was also loads of wildlife that we could see from the big windows in the cabin. Even our small dog loved the weekend getaway! We will no doubt be back for another visit.

Ken, thanks so much for a wonderful stay - we will come again.It was a great way to bring in the new year. Ironically, the best day was when it was raining and we stayed in. The nearby Ceago Vineyard is one of the best I have ever been to & very inexpensive for high quality wine tasting. Good Thai place in Lucerne too. Andrew & Amy

I had the pleasure of staying at Precious Forest most of last October 2008 with my fiance. I am still thinking about the time we spent there and how it affected me. WOW! I really learned how to relax! Mountain living is where it is at!! The full moons are amazing! The sunsets are tops and the smell of fresh mountain air is the best. Also the long hot spring water baths were healing to my soul. THIS IS A MUST GO! I have paid three times more for a boring hotel room! STOP, GO TO YOUR PHONE AND CALL FOR A RESERVATION. Dundee

Bartlett Springs road is a county maintained gravel/dirt road. The county grades this road twice a year. I do not reccomend nice sports cars on this road. Any car will make it to the cabin no problem unless there is snow or excessive rain which I monitor always. thanks again

Ken, Thanx so much for the time we has here. It was a well need break from our fast Oakland life. We recharged our batteries and go back with memories of candle light sunsets, bats, trees, joy, the hot Big Bath tub, walks in the woods and the hope of one day having a stove loke you!!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful place with us and giving us ideas of how else to live.

Thanks Precious Forest!
