Description
The Forest Haven Suite is nestled in the woods onthe Northern California Redwood Coast.Located minutes from spectacular scenic vistas,beaches state and national parks, the Forest HavenSuite is the ideal location from which to launchdaily activities.As summarized, the Suite is a 460 sq.ft. studiostyle structure, fully loaded with amenities.Of the five cottage at Golden Eagle VacationRentals, the Forest Haven Suite is the one’modular’constructed unit. The 2 X 6 walls came completewith windows, siding etc. installed. One of thechallenges was moving the components into placeand ‘erecting’ the structure into place.The metal roof is an outstanding choice ofmaterials due to the temperate coastal climatehere. The design is clean, maintenance low and thelight green hue compliments the surrounding forestof second growth spruce.The skylight facing east allows light into thestudio style cottage with it’s broad Douglas firbeams transverse the short dimension of thestructure. The gentle beat of a light rain on themetal roof is peaceful to listen too.A four step staircase elevates one to the ForestHaven Suite covered porch constructed of the TREXmaterial. Chocolate brown in color, the coveredporchsupported by light green 6 X 6 columns integratesnicelywith the living space inside and outsideenvironment.Two wooden rocking chairs are on the covered porchwith a small tablebetween them. Adjacent to the glass sliderentrance of the cottage. There is a welcoming vasewithfresh cut flowers, gathered from around theTranquility Pond on it.Rocking back and forth in the rocker with a glassof wine, compliments of the host, the everydaystress of life melts away as you focus on the raysof sunshine filtering through the trees and hearthe seals barkingfrom their rocky perches. The wooded treelineadjacent to the Forest Haven Suite conforms to theperennial creek that courses by the cottage. Itis difficult to discern the sound of the breezethrough the trees from the sound of a babblingbrook. Aptly, named Beach Creek, it’s ultimatedestination, the Pacific Ocean, is not far beyondthe boundaries of Golden Eagle Vacation Rentals.Sea Otters, though very discreet have been sightednear Beach Creek and IN the Tranquility Pond atGolden Eagle Vacation Rentals.Also, quite large beavers have been sighted bythis host AT Golden Eagle Vacation Rentals.One very early morning, a small wake across thetop of the Tranquility Pond was witnessed.A very large beaver emerged from the water, stoodup and turned around from the direction it hadcome from.Another wake of water proceeded across the shortdimension of the Tranquility Pond.Again, another smaller adorable slick/furrycreature emerged from the water.Apparently, the larger of the two was MOM. Thejuvenile was her offspring.I witnessed them waddle down the Golden Eagledriveway until disappearing into the brush,heading in the direction of a neighboring pond.A bald eagle perches itself in the top of a treelooking down on the waters flowing into theTranquilityPond, searching for prey.A large campfire pit is located below the TREXcovered porch.Composed of rocks mined from the Trinity River,there isa bundle of firewood, compliments of the host,available.The bundle of wood consists of smaller sizedDouglas fir kindling for starter woodand the slower burning hardwoods, Ma drone andOak.Hosting guests around a campfire is a greatopportunity for the host to meet them.Many friendships have been formed, familyreunions, wedding union and anniversariescelebrated around the campfire.I remember a Thanksgiving holiday around thecampfirewith my good friend, Mike & Mrs. W from the greatstate of Oregon.A skilled woodsman, Mike was convinced I could notignite a campfireduring a torrential rain. With persistence and thehelp of some diesel fuel, we were able to enjoythe warmth of a roaring bon fire in front of theForest Haven Suite.The complimentary hues, greens and browns, of thecottage exterior are offset be the white trimaround the windows, deterring the subtle eleganceofthe cottage’s interior.Stepping through the glass slider entrance to theForest Haven Suite is an experience worth noting.The five senses are immediately engaged andemerged in the tranquility of aspecial moment.A red duvet across a queen size bed beckons yourimmediate attention.Situated in a three sided alcove, the matchingcrimson colored complimentary pillows offer amountain ofsupport for the sore back of an avid reader inbed..The subtle sound of ‘Light Classical’ music blendsaudio virtuosity to an increasingly sensualexperience.A gentle warmth and glow emanating from theflickering flames of an inlaid hearth creates asense of romance.
