Charming 1-bedroom Garden view apartment in the Redwoods

Welcome to this warm and welcoming apartment in Elk, surrounded by
redwood trees, and a lovely southern view of the Elk ridge and Joëlle’s
Garden.
Cuddle up in the living room or unwind on the porch where you will
hear frogs, owls and native birds, or see countless stars that light up the
night.
This home and space were created by two artists and the entire
experience reflects their vision and love for art, nature and the surrounds.

The apartment layout provides a mini foyer, with the living room and kitchen (with garden views) on one side and the bedroom on the opposite.
The bedroom includes a comfortable and cozy queen size bed, blackout shades and a desk to work (if you must!).
The living room includes a daybed turned couch.
Original paintings and prints by Joëlle’s late husband Eduardo Smissen adorn the walls to bring his whimsy and color to the creative interior.
The kitchen is well stocked with a table for four, and other amenities to include a toaster oven, microwave, hot plate, refrigerator, coffee maker, dishes, glasses, wine glasses, etc…
The bathroom offers a shower, luxurious towels, shampoo, conditioner and a hair dryer.
All rooms include heating as needed. Parking is dedicated, just next to the apartment.

There are other family members residing on the property as well, but the
apartment has a singular private entrance and is set apart from the other dwellings.

The owner/host Joëlle, lives upstairs from the apartment with her dog Forrest and two cats and looks very forward to hosting and sharing this private apartment in her lovely home in the redwoods and beautiful Elk with you.
