  We had an adventure getting to Ken's place and it was so worth it. 5 miles on a dirt road that leads you above Clear Lake reveals a stunning view through a clearing in the forest. When we got there Ken's mom let us know that we could stay in the Tipi or upgrade to the Sweetheart Cabin for no extra cost. We took the upgrade, but would have been just as happy in the Tipi. I never met Ken, but he was very helpful through messages on airbnb and text. His mom met us at the site and was lovely. We had a great time!

  ken was super helpful and nice, he even stopped by the second day to drop off extra towels. the house is out of this world amazing, relaxing, views are unreal. even though it is generator powered you never feel like you are "roughing it". friends loved the grounds so much they slept out by the fire even tho their was plenty of beds. the sunsets are unreal up there and his friend who was doing upkeep on the other buildings gave us directions to a great swimming spot and checked in to make sure we were ok, but was not intrusive. there is also an amazing cat on the property, who really makes you feel at home. we had a great stay, wish it wasnt 3000 miles from home!

  Ken's dedication to this property is apparent. He was a fantastic host and helped with everything from providing fuel for the tiki torches to giving directions to a great swimming area. We had a group of 18 and everyone had a cozy place to sleep. There is no shortage of beds! The view at sunset is breathtaking and not to be missed. We all loved our stay here. We wished we could have stayed longer!

  We had a wonderful time at Precious Forest. We celebrated our wedding there with around 50 people and it was gorgeous. The sunset over the lake is so beautiful! Ken is a fantastic host. He has been super helpful the whole time. He recommended a party rental place, let us use his smoker and stereo, did the dishes, and just helped out wherever he could. We loved the place so much that we're going to come back each year.

  We enjoyed a perfect stay at Precious Forest. Ken met us at the property to clearly explain everything you need to know about the property including all cooking options, electricity, and all bedding. We had everything we needed for cooking, bathing (under the stars if you prefer), and sleeping. It made it very easy to just relax and enjoy ourselves. The area is gorgeous and the trees make sure you always have shade even though the heat isn't nearly what it's like at the bottom of the hill. Ceago and other lakeside wineries nearby. Blue Lakes just a few miles down the road for swimming . Kens Property and the surrounding area have all you need for a great getaway.

  A group of friends and I (14 all together I believe) stayed at Precious Forest for a joint bachelor/bachelorette party and it was the perfect place. It's a little crazy finding the place at night, though not all of us had this problem, so I would recommend trying to arrive during the daytime. Otherwise, it truly was perfect, and anyways it's nice to be deeper into the woods so as to get a bit more privacy than you would have closer to the lake. There was plenty of space for our whole group. The cabins and tents were nicely kempt. There was a generator that operated perfectly and allowed us to project a movie out on the lawn (Friday the 13th because, ya know, cabins and all). The cabin was close to Clear Lake, which is not a swimming lake, but we found great swimming a little ways up the road (you can ask the on-site manager about this). It's hot up there in mid-July but there is plenty of shade in which to recline and recover from many a hang over. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and I could see us coming back in the future just for the fun of it.

  I was recently put in charge of finding a location to host a joint bachelor/bachelorette party weekend. After searching for weeks I stumbled upon Precious forest. Precious forest was the perfect fit. The weather was beautiful, the lodgings were comfortable and the scenery was breathtaking. Precious forest comes equipped with a full kitchen, dining room, cabins and teepees with beds, outdoor showers and even an outdoor toilet. Precious forest provided us with modern amenities in a laid back camping setting, for those who like to feel like they are roughing it in a convenient comfortable style. The onsite manager Dan provided us with wood for the fire every night and provided a wealth of information about the area. We also had loads of entertainment with the "owners" of precious forest, Sinbad (the large cuddly cat), Dip (the fluffy sweet watchdog), and Sasha (the little furry party animal). At precious forest we had everything we needed and the weekend before the wedding was one we will all always remember.

  My friends and I had a great stay at Precious Forest. We really enjoyed the view, trees, the mountain water drinking water and baths. The land is spacious and we were very much able to rest. The 12 of us fit perfectly in the bedding situation. I would recommend bringing your own tents if your group is much larger than 12 to provide everyone with a bit of space, but you could definitely fit a few more on beds. Ken was a fantastic, personable host. Oh...and they have the best fire pit in existence!

  Loved our visit to the Precious Forest. Our birthday group of 13 was treated to the attentive hospitality of Ken and his mountain retreat. It is quite an adventure to be warmed by woodstove, and even try to cook using wood (with a little bit of help from the gas side of the stove). The main cabin was cozy and perfect for playing instruments and catching up. The lawn was great for horsing around, and the secluded location also offers lots of great walks. Don't say no to Ken's offer to leave Dip-D

  Had an amazing time this past weekend at Precious Forest!!! Ken and his family are amazing! We had a group of 16 for a 40th Birthday Surprise Party and couldn't have asked for a better time! Me, being the plan freak that I am, had many questions for Ken prior to our arrival, because as host of the party I would be showing up late with the birthday boy while all the guests set-up the surprise party. Ken answered all my questions quickly and even helped my friends in the set-up before I arrived.
